6 min walk to the beach, Welcome Back is a cozy, pet friendly oceanside cottage!

Salvo is a hidden GEM, it is located in the Southern end of the “Tri-Villages” of Rodanthe, Waves and Salvo. It feels like it is in a world of its own! The perfect place for beach days, family times and relaxing with not many distractions!

Come enjoy this super-cute, open concept home and all it has to offer; let it welcome you back year after year, as this adorable home is sure to be your favorite! Your dog is also welcome here! Your dog will enjoy the little fenced in area on the side yard, and you will have peace of mind letting your pup sit on the front and upper deck without being able to get out on the street with the gate to keep them in your view! Deck is new in November 2019. My home is located in the Hatteras Colony neighborhood, which is considered by many as the best on the Island due to the wide streets and two-mile loop of side streets perfect for bike riding, walking or pushing a stroller. The kitchen is complete with all you will need and will inspire your inner chef. Fridge has an ice maker in the freezer, Keurig and drip coffee maker. Lots of natural sunlight flow throughout the open living / dining rooms with a vaulted ceiling making it easy to gather together for those special family times. The first floor has two bedrooms (Queen and 2 twins), and bathroom. The upper level has two queen bedrooms, a bathroom, the stackable laundry is conveniently located on this level, and a loft area with a sofa, tv and games, sure to keep the kids occupied. The large upper deck is accessible from the queen bedroom or the loft area. You can relax on this deck and hear the surf. There is a screened in porch next to the kitchen to enjoy your meals on the picnic table, and relax at the end of your day, or enjoy your morning coffee here. A private area underneath the house is a great gathering place with an oversized picnic table, outdoor shower and fish cleaning station with lights and water. You'll find a charcoal grill in the side yard. House has 4 TV's, DVD player, wifi. Linens can be rented through several local companies that drop them off at the house if you don’t want to bring your own sheets. The keyless entry makes it so easy to check in and out of the house. This is a nonsmoking home, with a Saturday-to-Saturday rental. It's a one-minute short stroll down our street to our beach access, then about a 5-minute walk over the dune to the most beautiful beach in the world! Come experience this peaceful haven and fall in love with this "hidden gem" the little village of Salvo.
(If this house is booked, please view my mom’s home 5 doors down from this house, VRBO 1494845, house name Salvobx, also my sister’s house is right behind mine, VRBO 1991687, house name is Relaxin Jackson. Book all three homes … It’s a great option for families that are too large or want a little separation, great way to be together and apart!)

We love staying here!

This was our second time staying here and we are already planning next year's trip! The house is cute and cozy, spacious and you can't beat the deck and screened in porch! It is so close to the beach and the outdoor shower is so nice. The owner is great to work with and always answers any questions I have.

Wonderful Stay!

We really enjoyed our stay! Perfect sized home, plenty of amenities, everything you need. Screened porch is great. Outdoor shower is wonderful coming off the beach. My daughter really enjoyed the porch swing. Plenty of nearby restaurants, markets and shopping. Sadly, the closest ORV ramp (#23) is closed Apr-Oct (seasonal). In the summer, the nearest ORV ramp (#25) is a few more miles southbound. Highly recommend for small family or group!

Wonderful stay in a beautiful home

Wonderful & charming home ideal for extended families. Has all the amenities with two great decks. Close proximity (easy walking distance) to the ocean and the sound (driving distance). Outside shower perfect for sandy trips to the beach. Owners were simply lovely with quick responses to our questions. Would love to stay here again.

First Family Trip

This was the first time we were all able to go on a trip together and this was the perfect place for it. We brought our three dogs, who LOVED the deck and we really appreciated the enclosed area for them to have their bathroom breaks. The whole house very thoughtfully laid out, and just perfect for the whole family! We can’t wait to return in the future!

Quaint and Quiet and Comfortable

We loved our second stay at the "Welcome Back" house as much as we enjoyed the first time. Robbi is a wonderfully attentive and gracious host, and she responds incredibly promptly to all our queries. The house is well stocked with anything the guests may need, and it's cozy and comfortable. The location is great - close to the beach and convenient restaurants while it's away from any hustle and bustle. Our stay was wonderful.

1st time to Outer Banks

Great location! Short walk to amazingly beautiful, uncrowded beach! Short bike ride to sound side beach access, ice cream shop & Dollar General. Cute decor throughout house :) Clean, well-stocked kitchen. Outdoor shower - best idea ever! Can't wait to be welcome-d back to Outer Banks next year!

Great Trip!

The trip to 'Welcome Back 'was excellent! The house was clean, spacious, and well equipped. The beach is amazing and the kids had a blast spending all day in the warm waters. We spent a few mornings and evenings relaxing on the upper deck enjoying the sea breeze. Lori was an excellent host and the open communication took the fear out of travelling during these times. Lori's personal touches made us feel welcomed and we would definitely be back.

Cozy cottage, we loved staying here

The "Welcome Back" was immaculately clean with everything you need right there. The kitchen is organized and very well stocked, linens provided. I felt as if I were staying with a friend for the weekend, NOT a rental property. It is decorated beautifully and makes you feel at home. We loved it and had a beautiful week making memories in the OBX. Thank you Lorrie!

Great Beach House

The house was perfect for our family vacation. It was clean, well stocked, and Lorri was always prompt to respond with any questions we had. The porch and decks were amazing! We sat outside almost every day. The only minor detail that would have been a nice addition is to have a TV in each bedroom. The location was great too, being about a half hour or so from either the Nags Head or Avon areas in case we wanted to venture north or south.

Super Relaxing

The Welcome Back house has everything our group of four ever needed and it looks just like in the pictures. It's clean, cozy, well organized, and functional. We couldn't have asked for more! Lorri is a super hostess! She feels more like a friend who goes out of her way to make us feel special. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we'll come back!

Welcome Back is Welcome Back

This is a wonderful home. New furniture in the living room. As always the screened in porch protects us from mosquitos, the outdoor shower is phenomenal, the upper deck provides endless late night views of the sky and sounds of the ocean. The walk to the beach gives awesome sunrises and endless time enjoying the sand and the waves.

OBX Beach Retreat

Absolutely beautiful, spotless, comfortable home! We had an amazing week just a short walk to beach. Everything you could need for fun vacation fully stocked kitchen, grill, games, deck with awesome views. Our host Lori was incredible! She is responsive to questions, provided lots of info on the area since it was our first time to OBX and even greeted us when we arrived. We were even lucky enough to get in a few hours early which was so appreciated!!! Would definitely return .

Quaint Getaway by the Sea

All in all, our family had a wonderful time staying at Welcome Back. The accommodations were adequate and very tastefully decorated, although a bit cramped for 6 adults. The beach was not as close as we originally believed, about 5 to 7 minute walk. The owners were very helpful with information and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. My son stated he would rate this as one of his best vacations ever, which is saying a lot since he travels all over the world and stayed in places such as Japan, Brazil, and Portugal. We will definitely consider staying here again.

Quiet area, great neighborhood

We loved the outdoor deck spaces and all the fresh air this house delighted us with during our stay. Lots of different levels, shaded, unshaded, breezy, or calm. Something for whatever you were feeling. We also enjoyed walking the friendly neighborhood and the quiet laid back area of Salvo. Lori was great to work with, she made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Especially appreciated the ability to bring our dog on this trip, would book again!!

My children and I had such a good time staying at this house. The host Lorri was amazing. She communicated and even sent us a beach bag with a picture of the property in it. She was very responsive and did a great job decorating the place and accommodating. The outdoor shower was a lifesaver and very nice! the location was in a peaceful neighborhood. The walk to the beach took about 5 mins. We would definitely stay here again! I actually want to buy a house in that area in the future :)

The Most Gracious Host

Lorri went above and beyond from the moment I booked the house. Her welcome emails were detailed and informative, her response to questions was incredibly fast, and she couldn’t have made us feel more welcome if she tried. We came for a birthday week, and the sweet card beforehand and the pastries during the week elevated our stay to the next level. The house was incredibly clean, well decorated, and comfortable. The ability to close the deck off and the little dog pen down below made it very canine friendly too. The house is perfect for a small family or a sister’s trip like we had. I hope everyone has as lovely a stay as we did!

Relaxing Time and Great location

Plenty of space for our family and everything one would need to cook/eat/sleep. Great location and a short walk to be beach. Plenty to do locally and a short drive to do some of the more popular attractions. The only thing we found issue with was the outside dog pen/grass area listed does not hold smaller dogs (one of the main reasons we reserved the home). Our pups are mini schnauzers and got right out through the gaps between posts and fencing and we had to go find them, which we did. Other then that it was great and we would gladly go again minus our dogs 🙂

Great house and owner

Welcome Back is a great house. This is our third year in it and we love staying there. Easy access to the beach and the best part it isn’t a crowded beach. It seems that there are updates every year. Last year it was the washing machine and living room furniture and this year was the decks and stairs with better lighting. Lorri is very friendly and communicated with us prior to our vacation with COVID updates for the county to make sure we were prepared. I got to meet her this trip and she is a super nice lady.. Thank you for opening your home to us.
