What a great house. We had our three children, three grandchildren, son-in-law and always had plenty of space for everyone. The canal and Kayaks were a wonderful feature. Great kitchen, spacious tv room, we never wanted to leave. We had a family reunion of sorts and of the 4 rented houses the Kitchen's Salthouse was everyone's favorite. John Lamparelli

Fabulous location with lots to do

We loved our time in Kitty Hawk, the location is perfect for the beach and the kids loved hanging out at the bay. The trails are perfect for running and cycling and the house is really comfortable and well equipped to cook and relax in the evening. We had a fabulous vacation.
