About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Stunning sunsets, private harbor, beach walks, kayaks.

Constructed in 2019, "Double Dog Dare" is in a private harbor neighborhood with awesome views of the sound and harbor, providing stunning sunsets. And since the island is so narrow, you can see the beach from our balcony!

Double Dog Dare sleeps 11, with several levels of decks with views of both the sound and the ocean. Enjoy modern, comfortable and new furnishings. The first floor features a king bedroom suite that overlooks the sound. Another king bedroom shares a bath with a bunk room (twin over queen beds). A second living room with queen sleep sofa accommodates additional guests.

The top floor features an additional king bedroom suite, as well as a living room, dining room and gourmet kitchen. Spacious granite countertops, all new appliances, and pantry complete the fully-equipped kitchen. Enjoy sweeping views from the living room, or share a meal on the deck overlooking the sound.

Double Dog Dare includes access to all the amenities of Black Dog Harbor, including a boat ramp, boat slip, basketball hoop, kayaks and cornhole game. Enjoy fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding and boating from the harbor, dock and gazebo, and boat ramp. Explore the sound in a kayak (included for free). Linens and bath towels are always included.

Salvo is quite narrow, so while you'll be overlooking the sound, the beach is only a quarter mile away, a short walk or bike ride, or pack your car with chairs and a cooler and park near beach access or drive your SUV on the beach.

This was our third summer at double dog dare and we will keep coming back. The house is gorgeous, well laid out, great kitchen, dining, living space for hanging out, private bedrooms and bathrooms. We love the view of the sound and use the kayaks and fishing pier every day. Hosts are super responsive and kind. This place is paradise!

Nice house & location
House was as advertised. Clean, easy to check in/out, close to the sound and beach. Kitchen had all the pots/pans and extra appliances you need for a short vacation: blender, crock pot, etc. easy to wander to the pier to go fishing or grab a kayak and catch the sunset.

Beautiful home and great vacation area
We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It’s like a model home but comfy and clean. We were in contact with the owners before and during our stay and they have been great to work with. My husband and I checked in and my parents joined us later in the week. The home is in a great location in a quiet culdesac. The home is well stocked with everything you need to cook and enjoy. There’s a gas grill and a charcoal grill. There’s plenty of room for a family to gather and have fun. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms just off each bedroom is a plus. There are closets for hanging up closets with really nice felt hangers. The beach is just across the street. It’s a little bit of a walk but it’s a great walk. There are restaurants and shops nearby too. We ate sandwiches from the Market Deli and they’re delicious and huge! You can share one and get plenty to eat. We ate at Waterman’s Grill and one note is to seat your family and then one person place your food order at the counter. Seating is limited there. We ended up with takeout. Our last night there we ate at Ketch55 and it was mediocre at best. There’s a Food Lion just down the road about 18 minutes and a Duck Donuts in the same shopping center in Avon NC. This was probably one of our best vacations since before Covid. Thanks to the owners for allowing us to spend time in their beautiful home. And thanks to their next door neighbor for puttering out the trash for us and helping out with things around the neighborhood.

Beautiful home with beautiful view!
This was our second stay at Double Dog Dare and we looking forward to our next stay there already. The house was beautiful, clean, and well equipped to make our stay very comfortable. The views from the back decks are beautiful. The neighborhood is in a great location and has a gazebo, fishing pier, boat launch, kayaks, and corn hole. The owners communicate well and are very responsive.

The Most Perfect OBX Spot!
We absolutely loved our week in this home. The location is stunning, with incredible views of the sound for sunsets each night. In addition to the views from the house, access to the gazebo was magical and so stunning. The house was incredible, everything is new and top of the line. The beds were extremely comfortable, all appliances and AC worked fantastically, and every detail was considered. The space is luxurious and cozy- just what our family hoped for. The owners were SO helpful. They send us tons of information about the house and area before our trip, and even helped keep us aware of the best travel routes for our trip. They checked in to assure we had all we need, overall very thoughtful. The beach was walkable, but we chose to take the very short drive due to have a toddler with us - very easy! The house had a high chair, pack and play and baby gates! It will be hard to find a property to top this one - we will just have to come back! Book it today!

This is a fantastic listing. The house is beautiful, very clean, easy to access, and contains everything needed for the stay. Hosts are available, but not intrusive. The kitchen is better equipped than any other property we have seen. Details in this property, such as the Alexa for music, a high quality sound bar on the audio, high-end kitchen equipment, and very tasteful color and decorating schemes, indicate the owners thought about what would make guests enjoy their stay more. We have stayed in many VRBO properties in the U.S. and Europe. This was, by far, the nicest. It was perfect for our family of 7 adults and 2 children.
