Salty Shamrock - C4985

We had a great week staying in this house. We love the location. The new carpet looks really nice (we stayed in the same house last summer). The beds are comfy. We love how close to the beach the house is. My children also live the option to swim in the community pool. Great house for small families with pets.

This is a great place to stay...close to beach, grocery store etc. There are a lot of steps to beach but we knew that before we got there. If you don’t mind the steps...the close proximity to beach outweighs that. Having the end unit and pool also a plus. It checks all the boxes!

This is a great house for small families with pets. The house is in a great location with a short walk on a boardwalk to beach access. The kitchen is perfect. Lots of cupboards and countertop space with everything you need to cook. My children loved the loft room upstairs. Nice deck but not really ocean views because the dunes are so high. The bedrooms are all great size with really comfortable beds. The bathrooms are nice size. I didn't like the shower heads. You could not move them so you had to hug the front of the shower. Not a issue just something I noticed. Loved having the washer and dryer. The outside shower with both hot and cold water is great to get all the sand off after a fun day at the beach. Lots of chairs and beach toys at the house for you to use. Close walk to a community pool which my children loved. Great for days with rough surf. All linens and provided. We were allowed early access once the home was cleaned which is always great after the long drive with children. Thank you beach reality. Just a heads up for people that may have trouble walking their is a lot of steps to get to the main level of the house and to get over the dunes. Not a problem for us though. It's usually more difficult to find smaller homes close to the beach so this is perfect. My only recommendation would be for the owners to get the carpet on the steps cleaned. As soon as you open the door their are 2 stains. Which made me think oh no what did I rent. But it didn't smell or anything and it's a pet friendly home. I will definitely recommend and hopefully return to the Salty Shamrock again.

Overall the experience during my stay was positive.

This vacation home was lovely. Everything inside was clean and I’m working order. The only suggestion I have is to repair a loose door knob on the front door. Otherwise, everything was excellent and we would stay here again!

It was my 1st year staying at this property and great experience overall.

The house location is wonderful. Short walk to the beach but there are significant stairs to get over the dunes just an FYI. Not a problem. House is cute. Shower in master is tiny again more of an FYI than a problem. Welcome bag was helpful as we forgot a sponge. Sent a comment to management and it was fixed quickly.

The Salty Shamrock was a great location! Just a short walk down a boardwalk, over the dune and you're on the beach. There is a life guard chair close by. The Corolla bike path is just a block away making it easy to go for a bike ride.

The house was no frills but clean and provided all the basics. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and kitchen ware. Bring your own seasonings and oil. Kitchen linens were suppose to be included, but we did not see any. Luckily I had tossed in a few kitchen towels when I was packing.

There are beach chairs and sand toys available, so no need to haul yours along. Definitely bring a flashlight if you have want to hit the beach after dark to look for ghost crabs.

We had a great time at the Salty Shamrock and were sad to leave. It's a great location, close to the beach, grocery store, Duck Donuts and the Corolla bike path.

Had a wonderful weekend at the beach.
Early confusion about wifi was cleared up with the kind and swift attention of property manager. The number of steps was a bit challenging for elders but we all managed. The one negative of whole experience is that leaving Saturday before noon the traffic is horrible. We thought we would beat it by leaving at 8 am which apparently was the strategy of 100% of that week's renter. 3 hours to get from Corolla to turn for mainland? Brutal.
I spent the extra time in the car admiring my tan.

This rental is very close to the beach with a boardwalk. Parking is very limited especially if a lot of rain occurs while at the beach. The 30 steps/stairs to the top floor are very steep and narrow.

The Salty Shamrock was great! The location is super close to the beach (although those stairs are a killer!)The house is set up simply. The kitchen could use a little rearranging - a few less pots and pans and a little more cabinet space to store your food would be very helpful. The folks at Beach Realty were very accommodating as well. They were both patient and kind with my family who was very tired (and just a bit cranky) after a long drive to Corolla. (Beware of the traffic congestion around Duck!) I would definitely recommend the Salty Shamrock.

Excellent rental experience.

Great location, within walking distance to grocery store. Plenty of restaurants in the area that were phenomenal. Such a short walk to the beach! Only tip is make sure to bring toilet paper, only thing they don't provide. The kitchen is FULLY stocked with everything you could possibly need to cook.

Great place to stay

We have stay in this rental at least five times now, and what I love the most about it is that if you are coming to OBX to enjoy the BEACH...this house is perfect. Personally, I am a minimalist and I enjoy the fact that this house is literally JUST a house with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, living room, deck where you can see/hear the ocean and a boardwalk out back to take you there. The house has nothing fancy or over the top, just all the basic you need to comfortable enjoy your time at the beach.

Overall good.

Good experience. We had a couple problems but the property team took care of them without hesitation.
Worst thing was traveling through Duck to get anywhere.

Excellent location with a laid back atmosphere and amazing access to the beach.

What a great little spot! We were steps from the ocean and right in the mix of all the Outer Banks has to offer. This is a wonderful place for a small family or little group of friends. We loved that it was pet friendly, too! The only complaint was the living room furniture. Both the love seat and couch could stand to be replaced. You sink in and can't get up!

This was our 2nd year staying at Caliban's Cabana. It was our 7th year at the beach. We enjoyed our stay. With the exception of one of the burners on the stove not operational everything was fine. It is a short walk to the beach from the Cabana. We usually have 4 to 6 people staying at the Cabana.
