Professionally managed by Preserve Property Co.



Welcome to The Salty Ober, a elegantly refreshed Ocean Boulevard getaway where classic Outer Banks architecture meets calm, modern coastal design.



Set directly across from a private Southern Shores beach (reserved exclusively for owners and their guests), this location offers something rare on the OBX: peaceful shoreline with no public parking and no hordes.



Inside, the home feels bright, casual, and thoughtfully curated. Soft coastal tones and refreshed furnishings create a space that feels both elevated and comfortable. With four bedrooms and four bathrooms, everybody has room to relax. Two roomy living areas make it painless to gather or spread out. Ideal for movie nights, peaceful mornings, or afternoon downtime after the beach.



The entirely equipped kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living spaces, making meals and connection feel effortless.



Step outside and the experience continues. The private backyard pool is completely fenced for a tucked-away, resort-style feel. After beach time just steps away, rinse off in the outdoor shower and ease into the evening with a backyard BBQ. For a little friendly competition, head to the garage game space with a pool table — a fun additional for both kids and adults.

Mornings are best spent on the front porch with coffee and ocean breezes. Evenings end under the stars.

For damages over $5,000, we’ll work directly with you to resolve the matter respectfully and fairly.
