Settle in for a memorable stay by the sea at âThe Salty Anchorâ! This classic and charming semi-oceanfront home combines the peace and serenity of a 4x4 vacation with the convenience of a short 2.6 mile drive to the paved roads of Corolla to visit shops, restaurants and attractions. Spend your days with your toes in the sand and relaxing on the new decks overlooking the unique landscape. Be sure to keep watch for wild horses playing in the dunes!
Stroll down a sandy path near the home to get to the oceanâs edge, or load up your 4-wheel drive vehicle with chairs, coolers and beach toys and park on the beach instead. Enjoy salty breezes and ocean views from the top-level sun deck or lounge in the shade on the covered deck on the mid-level. Savor more sights of the ocean from inside the home in the spacious top floor common areas which includes a great room, kitchen, dining room, and breakfast bar. After a full day of fun in the sun, fire up some friendly competition in the rec room with pool table.
Your stay will leave you relaxed, refreshed, and longing to return to this comfortable cottage. Come enjoy the sand, sun, and sea at âSalty Anchorâ!
This beach house was perfect for our family vacation! We had plenty of space for our group, and the home was well-appointed, comfortable, and a cool location on the 4wD beach. We loved staying at the salty anchor. Thank you so much!
The house was perfect for a quiet, relaxing vacation. We enjoyed opening the windows, listening to the ocean and letting the breeze come through the main living space on the third level. The drive up the beach to Corolla took only about 10 minutes so it was easy to get to restaurants, stores and other attractions.
Spectacular home, it had everything we needed and more. Every room had gorgeous views. We had the ponies visit us daily, and the beach was just perfect. 10 out of 10. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
We enjoyed our stay at the salty anchorHad everything we neededHouse was as advertised and beds were comfortable It was nice having the pool table in the basement. Location was perfect, not too far down the beach and saw horses every day. Jo was very responsive and helpful. This was our first trip to OBX and we would love to come back
A beautiful, clean, well decorated home with impeccable views of paradise!!! The hosts are beyond kind and on top of everything! The only complaint - how fast time moves when youâre at peace. Book with confidence. We will 100% return and tell others! Thank you so very much!
This was the perfect vacation. The views of the sunrise and horses were amazing. We even spotted a foal. It was my daughterâs literal dream come true. You do need a 4x4 vehicle to get there, and Iâd recommend timing your trips in and out with the tides. The host was incredible and responsive, and we had no issues at all with the property. The beds were incredibly comfy.
The property and owners were amazing! A wonderful home situated âoff the gridâ is exactly what our family needed to unwind a little and take in the wonderful views! Love the home and the location.. canât wait to come back!
This was our first time to Corolla Beach and driving on the beach. We didnât know what to expect with airing down and finding the house! The directions were great and the photos were exactly how the house was! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. There wasnât soap in the bathrooms, but we did find the big bottle under the sink to fill them all. It was so nice having 4 bathrooms all with showers and a tub! The beds were all comfortable and the house provides lots of space for people to have privacy. The outside shower was great after spending time on the beach. The decks were awesome to sit each morning and night and look out at the ocean. We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets each night and absolutely loved the visits from the horses!! They came right up to the house!! They even brought the baby! The private circle driveway was nice too! (We couldnât figure out how to get the game system to work downstairs for the kids and the one bedroom tv wouldnât work either.)Great house, great stay!!!
Our week in OBX really exceeded all expectations. Really great house; big and open with amazing views and beach access. Fun little adventure up the 4x4 beach. Would definitely return in the future. Thanks for the wonderful memories.
We have been staying at the Salty Anchor for 5 years! Well appointed, great decor and style, the best location and views all around! Super spacious living space w games, puzzles, books, plus everything u need in the kitchen to cook!
The ease of getting to the property and onto the beach was effortless. Itâs a perfect location on Corolla. The view of the ocean from the porch was also better than many in this location. Very cute place.
My family and I loved our stay at this beautiful, well-maintained house. The host has done a beautiful job of thinking of all the little things to make it feel like home. We lacked for nothing during our stay.
The location is just gorgeous! Isolated yet not difficult to access. My son loved the beach driving!
Beautiful house and location! Perfect for families especially with small children! Short walk over the dunes to the beach. You can sit on a porch at night (they are endless and on every floor) and watch the sunset as well as sunrise in an unobstructed view. Perfect house for some salt water therapy!! Hope to come back soon!
This was seriously the best, most relaxing vacation ever. The house was clean and smelled great when we arrived. We had four adults and six kids and there is plenty of room to spread out, no one was crowded, it was great. The dishwasher broke and Jo had a new one installed the very next day.
We saw the horses almost everyday, they come right up under the deck. Absolutely incredible and 1000% worth the 12 hour drive we had !
We had such an amazing time! The ponies were a huge hit and being right in the beach was perfect to drive my 87 year old grandmom to her chair by the ocean so she didnât have to walk. Even at the house we could still play in the sand and had ample room outside for games.
The Salty Anchor welcomes you! My name is Jo Tinker, mother of four (two bipeds and two fur baby four-legged!). I enjoy the road less traveled to this beautiful and unique community away from the hustle of modern life. My mother had a gypsy spirit, my father was a sailor who felt one with the sea. My other half grew up boating the Virginia waterways. We met at twenty and have been together ever since. Iâm told Iâm quirky and opinionated. I love color in all things, clothes, flowers and sunsets! Vacations for me mean hiking, biking, climbing and swimming, also there isnât a jigsaw I donât love. At forty five I decided it was a good time to learn to surf- wish me luck. Jack is grounded and loving, he prefers to slow down and savor lifeâs moments. He can fix just about damn near anything and 80s was a decade that should be anointed in his opinion. We still dance in the kitchen! We have a son who loves swimming, hiking, a well written book and photography. He perceives the world from a different and beautiful angle. We have a daughter that adores all things equine, has a sharp wit and a fabulous sense of humor, always equipped with a good pun for me! She masters most athletic feats with ease (while I was crashing with the waves, she sailed above). We have had animals our entire relationship and are not able to tamp down the desire to pet every new dog we encounter when away from our own! Exploring and food are our passions, ice cream and beer our addictions! My hope is that one day we will have visited all the national parks, driven from coast to coast and from North Pole to south! We adore the Salty Anchor for its off the beaten path sandy environment, the ever present yet changing ocean views, the open & warm gathering space and the restful bedrooms. This is a dream that should not be hoarded, a dream that we plan to share with our loved ones. It would please us to no end to share this with your family so great memories can be created.
The view says it all. The house adds its charm, wonderful open communal space and ample dining areas. The bedrooms are not only large and comfortable but have been uniquely curated! And within a few steps, the ocean awaits, you can wave to England from the porch!
Where else can your drive on the beach to your vacation stay? Where you can explore the sand roads in search of wild ponies like Thelma and Midnight? Where you can watch the pelicans glide by and dolphins frolic?
