Amazing Hosts
To start, the hosts are extremely kind! The are very very accommodating and just all around excellent. The home is extremely clean. It was a true pleasure to stay at the Salty Cabana. Definitely consider this property. We were able to sleep a family of four with no problems.

Great stay
Overall great experience. My only complaint is the house smelled like cigarettes, but you got used to it. The bed was comfy and the outdoor shower was lovely. Had everything you needed and close to restaurants and bars.

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!

Cute Place, a Little Warm
The property manager is fantastic! She was very helpful and there for anything we needed. The house was cute and VERY clean. The bad news? There's only AC in the bedroom. Not so bad in May, but not so fun in August!

Perfect little getaway!!
We had the best stay at the salty cabana!! It was perfect for me, my husband, and our pup! It was in a great location. We were within walking distance of multiple restaurants, super close to everything in Carolina Beach, plus a super short walk to the beach access! Already can’t wait to be back!

Salty Cabana
We normally come to kure beach during the summer and always love the area. This place was perfect for me, my wife and pups. 3-4 min walk to the beach and maybe 7 mins to the pier. Prime location! While the weather wasn’t great this time around we made the best of it, place was close to restaurants and a bar and Carolina beach area. Place was super clean, bed comfy and ac kept the house cool. Owners were quick to reply and made us feel very welcomed. Highly recommend!!

Short notice getaway
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.

Easy, breezy, beautiful little home
The location is first and foremost the selling point. Near the 3rd street restaurants, down the block from the beach, and a short drive from the trouristy area of Carolina Beach. Terra is quick to answer any questions and the house is well maintained. We had guests in the adjacent location ("Sweet") and we wouldn't have even known. Has what you need for a short stay at the beach.
