Le logement n'est pas du tout isolé et au bord d'une route passante.

Pros:

The staff was great and super communicative. The location was directly across from the beach and next to two great restaurants and an ice cream shop!

Cons:

It was a little older than the pictures depicted.

I could not find my room, nobody was at desk or on the phone so I left and was refused a refund.
Pros:

The location to the beach was good...That was about it. The rest of the facility looks tired, props the the photographer they hired, he made the place shine!

Cons:

There was nobody in the office at 8:15pm and Room #2 is not next to room #3 but rather next to unit 12 at the far end of the property... This is confusing at best, Self check in instructions are ok but this would have been helpful, but was not included at all, just a door code. For $350+ per night I would expect the hotel to be staffed before 10pm or at the very least to have a staff member answer my phone call in a timely fashion (not 25+ min). Instead I was able to walk around, not find my room and see that the property was quite tired before opting to leave entirely. It was quite obvious that all they wanted was their fee and they had zero intention of working with me.

I usually love to stay in small boutique hotels but this experience was miserable and I did not even make it into the room and was refused a refund.

What a fantastic week at Saltaire #12!
Pros:

We loved the location, being right across the street from the beach! The pool was great, and I spent a decent amount of time on the screened in porch. The inside was spacious and the beds were really comfortable!

Cons:

These are small things, but the master bath faucets (shower too) need a bit of tightening, and we weren’t sure how to turn on the cooktop’s downdraft—but everything else was great!

Great location to beach and attractions, kitchen enabled meals in, awesome screen porch
Pros:

Location was excellent, staff attentive to any problems, other guests friendly and quiet

Cons:

Photos were a little limited in depicting the smaller size of cottage and that the end room requires a walk through the middle or outside access. Not a problem, but would be good to know

Pros:

The property is very comfortable and convenient to pool and beach with children. Very clean and so quaint. The pool is great but had a few little places where the concrete was a little rough around the drain. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this cottage.

Pros:

My family and I stayed at this property and really enjoyed ourselves. I think our favorite parts of our stay were the screened in porch and the hassle free walk to the beach. Unfortunately one of our days got rained out but we felt safe and comfortable inside of the house.

Overall, the stay was uncomfortable and disappointing due to poor room conditions, loud noise, and a
Pros:

The staff is trying to accommodate your requests. For example I wanted a late checkout and I didn’t have to pay.

Cons:

The entire “cottage” layout is strange, it’s basically a labyrinth. The bathrooms are very small, and the beds are extremely uncomfortable, with poor-quality mattresses. The rooms are also tiny and have a noticeable moldy smell. The air conditioning is low quality and unbelievably loud at night. To make matters worse, there’s a bar in the building next door, with flashing lights and music playing into the night.

Pros:

My family of 5 chose a 2BR cottage on the second floor at Saltaire Cottages. We absolutely loved it; direct access to the beach, literal 10 more steps than the “ocean front” houses. Community pool was the perfect temperature and so clean. Property staff were onsite daily, but not too early or too late as to cause a disturbance. Laundry facilities onsite were a big plus so that we didn’t have to take pounds of sand home from the beach with us. Will recommend to our friends and family, and we would stay here again if we come back to OBX! Awesome little Gem, so glad we stayed!
