Everything and More in a Prime Location
Tucked within the oceanside, private, gated community of Buck Island, Salt and Soul Cottage delivers the ideal OBX vacation experience with clean and recently refreshed updates. From the back deck, you’ll enjoy a view of the expanded pool area and one of the community ponds—and from the front, you're less than a quarter of a mile to the beach. The well-manicured neighborhood is designed for guests to explore on foot or by bike, with walkways leading to the private community beach access and cabana, tennis and pickleball courts, an Olympic-sized pool, and nearby shopping and dining at Timbuck II and Monterey Plaza. Whether you're grabbing coffee, catching waves, or enjoying a family meal out, it’s all just around the corner.

Comfortable Living, Inside and Out
Inside, this well-appointed home has an airy, cottage feel with an abundance of windows and natural light. The open concept top-level includes a spacious living area, updated kitchen, and multiple dining options—a main dining table, island, bistro table, and additional seating in the ship’s watch area. A king ensuite bedroom with private deck access offers a peaceful place to recharge. The second level offers another king suite and private deck, plus three additional rooms well-suited for kids or adults-alike. On the ground floor, you’ll find a lounge space with TV, sleep sofa, a full bath, laundry room, and convenient second refrigerator—plus easy access to the private pool and hot tub just outside.
