Salvo Cottage | Soundfront Sunsets with Private Dock, Kayaks, Large Pool, Hot Tub, Guesthouse

5 Bedroom Cottage in Salvo

Such a unique soundfront retreat with so many extras including a private dock, large pool and detached guesthouse! Pelican Point offers amazing sunset views over the sound and over an acre of outdoor space partially shaded by majestic live oaks, cedars and a large fig tree. Direct sound access, a large grassy area for rigging and a boardwalk to a spacious private soundfront dock and more than 500 feet of shoreline make for a watersports paradise, whether kiteboarding, windsurfing, fishing, crabbing, kayaking, paddle boarding or sailing. Or just relax on the dock's large seating area and watch all the kiteboarders who launch and land at the Salvo Day Use Area - a great soundfront beach with shallow water for kids and watersports that's a quick walk, sail or paddle away. And if your thoughts turn to the ocean it's an easy walk or drive to Salvo's wide and un-crowded sandy beaches for a day of surfing, fishing, shelling or just relaxing in the sun!
After a fantastic day on the water come home for a dip in the private soundfront pool or 6-person hot tub to watch an amazing sunset over the sound; or relax with a game of pool in the guesthouse or corn hole on the lawn. A huge fig and live oak canopy provides ample shade to while the day away with a good book in the hammock and shady spots for the tots to play.
The main cottage allows easy access for all including seniors and handicapped, with one-level living, a ramp to the back door, and a bathroom with large accessible shower. It features a large and well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and views over the pool to the sound, a dining area that seats 12, and washer & dryer. The sunny living room has spectacular sound views and a 42" smart TV with Netflix, Pandora etc.
The cottage has 4 bedrooms including two masters. Bedroom 1 is a master with a king bed, flat-screen 26" TV, large bathroom with a handicapped accessible shower, and stunning views over the pool to the wetlands and sound. Bedroom 2 is a master with a queen bed and bathroom with bath and shower, and large windows with views of the sun rising through the cedars. Bedroom 3 has a queen bed and sliding glass doors to a brick patio on the soundside, and bedroom 4 has two sets of bunks (4 twin beds). Bedrooms 3 and 4 are by the hall bathroom which has a bath and shower.
The cozy detached guesthouse is about 30 feet from the cottage (on the other side of the pool) via a walkway and ramp and has a part-covered deck with porch swing, adirondack chairs and amazing wetland and sound front views - a great place to watch the many birds that visit, the kiteboarders speeding by or the breathtaking sunsets. Inside there is a game room with pool table and 32" flat-screen TV with DVD / Netflix / Pandora, and a wet bar with full-size refrigerator / icemaker, microwave, toaster and coffee maker. There is also a media room (which doubles as a second living room) with a large sectional sofa with fold-out full bed (labeled living room 1 in photo descriptions), and 42" flat-screen TV with DVD, Netflix, Pandora etc. The guesthouse also features one cozy bedroom with a queen bed, and a bathroom with shower.
Pelican Point is a traditional Hatteras cottage that has been fully updated, but without losing the simple island charm reminiscent of the more remote Ocracoke Island, where live oaks stand watch over one-story cottages and small family cemeteries that tell the story of the island. In fact the cottage is built by the site of the traditional homestead and resting place of some of the original settlers in the area. Their homestead lasted hundreds of years on the high ground by the live oaks, with the land where Pelican Point now stands serving as the family farm and route to the wetlands and sound for hunting and fishing. Although the original homestead has made way for development, some of the descendants still live near Pelican Point and are great neighbors with wonderful stories to tell!
To help make your stay as enjoyable and relaxed as possible, we have teamed with Dawn Waldrop a premier property manager and owner of Black Dog Harbor Services (BDHS), based next door to Pelican Point. BDHS will clean and prepare Pelican Point for your arrival; provide bed linens and make the beds; and stock the house with an initial supply of paper towels, toilet paper, dish detergent and trash bags to get you started. BDHS is just a phone call away to take care of any problems or concerns during your stay!
Well-behaved Adult dogs (maximum of two) are welcome with payment of non-refundable pet fee ($250 per dog, per stay). No puppies - meaning no dogs under 1 year.
