Perfect little spot close to the beach for our weekend stay. Very clean. Host promptly called us to address a mix-up in VRBO's automated check-in instructions. Really enjoyed staying in Salty Cabana and getting several beach walks in every day.

My family and I loved Salty Cabana!!! It was so comfortable and felt like a home away from home. The check in process was simple and our host was very fast to respond to questions. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. The location was wonderful with a short walk to the beach, pier, arcade, and restaurants. We will definitely be rebooking!

Great walking area

We enjoyed our stay. It was so nice to walk to the beach, food & the pier! The cabana is definitely older, but also clean & cool. The hot water was great!! Having the outside shower was plus with 4 people. Only thing I wished for was a covered porch/patio area. Otherwise, it was a great stay!

We needed a last minute getaway and the Salty Cabana fit our need during the week. The location was perfect close to the pier and we loved that it was pet friendly. The welcome bag was a wonderful gift, as well. Would stay here again.

Cute home, great location!

This location alone really makes it worth the stay. Located on the south end of Kure Beach its a little quieter. Only took about three minutes to walk to the beach, a few minutes more to restaurants near by. The place was a quiet, cute little one bedroom. Everything you need for your stay! Would definitely come back and stay here again. Outdoor shower is a big plus!
