Loved this house, I have had good experiences renting from Vacasa. Kitchen could use some updating.

Our family of 8 really enjoyed our time at Salty Escape! We had an infant up to a great grandmother and everyone was comfortable and liked the layout, location and all that was provided by the home. The kitchen was well stocked which was nice since we ate most of our meals in. Loved the short walk to the beach and the beach items that were supplied by the hosts. The wagon and toys were a plus for the 2 and 4 year olds! We would definitely stay here again!

House is in a nice cul-de-sac in quiet relaxing neighborhood in avon. Very large home, beautifully decorated! Beautiful open floor plan plenty of space for everyone in family! Beautiful warm large pool & huge clean hot tub! Full kitchen everything you need to serve a nice meal and eat on huge well furnished deck while looking over ocean. Or extra large dining room table that will fit the whole family all around it! Private decks upper and lower floors overlooking pool and ocean. Very comfortable spacious beds! Outdoor showers and nice half bath right out by pool. Quick access to private boardwalk straight to the beautiful beach! Very close to shopping, restaurants, watersport rentals, entertainment and fishing pier! My family and I had an amazing week at dune it right and look forward to staying there again! If your looking for a place in outer banks that's private, relaxing but close to food and entertainment dune it right is perfect place to stay!

Experience the Smoky Mountains in North Carolina

The Smokies’ signature blue range guards North Carolina’s western edge, making it part of the fabled Appalachian region. A North Carolina vacation rental is the perfect spot for exploring the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which sits on the border shared with Tennessee. One one side of the park, there’s Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and the other hubs for Tennessee Smoky Mountains vacations. On the North Carolina side, you’ll find cabin rentals throughout Bryson City, Cherokee, and Maggie Valley, while an Asheville stay is perfect for those who want the culture and dining of a bigger city.  

Another staple of Appalachia is the legendary Blue Ridge Parkway, an interstate highway that’s famous for its fall colors and breathtaking mountain vignettes. The Parkway’s southwestern end point is found in Cherokee, North Carolina, and it ambles through Asheville on its way north through the Pisgah National Forest and finally up through Virginia. The Parkway is more than just a scenic road, though; it’s the beating heart of Appalachian culture in North Carolina and Virginia, and, if you’re staying at a North Carolina cabin rental, it’s a must.

Relax on North Carolina’s Outer Banks

If you’re looking for a North Carolina beach vacation, one of our Outer Banks rentals is a perfect choice. Experience the beauty of the state’s coast from the comfort of a beach house in Kitty Hawk, Nags Head, or Topsail Island—among many other choices. Your options for fishing, horseback riding, sightseeing, and great coastal dining are pretty much endless at the Outer Banks.

It's near-impossible to go wrong when visiting beautiful North Carolina. Book a locally managed vacation rental to make your stay even better.
