Fantastic beach house, location, and amenities
If you're expecting an average stay at the beach with a typical rental property, think again. Michele's home is positioned right on the dunes for amazing views and has everything you need for an "at-home" experience. The house is beautifully styled with a sparkling kitchen, Bosch appliances, and stylish decor. Unlike your average rental, the beds are made on arrival, towels are neatly folded ready for use, no need to purchase toilet paper, kitchen roll, herbs and spices, soap, shampoo, or conditioner - it's all provided. There are also hair appliances, beach towels, and so much more. Michele was a responsive host and we couldn't have asked for a more effortless experience. You can tell she really cares about her home and guest experience. Enjoy the views of the shore, dolphins, shrimp boats, and fishermen. Perfect week at the beach. Thank you Michele.

This was one of the best experiences we have had with Airbnb Home and Host. Michelle was so amazing and is extremely organized, proactive and responsive. She had a beautiful Canva presentation that gave us everything we needed to know and answered all our questions about the house and location and even suggestions of where to go and places to eat. The home was stocked with everything you would need. She truly thought of every detail. My mom has always dreamt of staying in a home right on the water where she could walk out the back door and have her feet in the sand and fall asleep with the smell the ocean. We were able to make this happen for her. We made so many memories that we will never forget and felt right at home even if only for a few days. I can't wait to go back. Thank you Michelle!

My family (including our pup) had a wonderful stay! The house was amazing and the location could not be beat. The deck and stairs down to the beach were great with young kids and the dog. Michele had beach chairs and some sand toys available that going and playing on the beach super easy. The outside shower under the house was perfect for cleaning up after the beach, we used that daily and didn’t even turn on the showers inside (although the bathrooms were clean and updated). The house was well stocked with kitchen items and linens which was also a big plus! We are already missing the views and ocean sounds and can’t wait to be able to plan another trip. We will definitely try to stay at Michele’s place again, we loved the house and the location!

Second time staying at Blue Salt Bungalow, maybe that's like reading a book or watching a movie more than once, you know it was really good if it's worth doing again! We so love this space. It's perfect for our mix of a family: 4 adults, 2 with different mobility issues and this space just makes it possible for us to make it work. And a dog! Since last year they renovated the kitchen and it's GORGEOUS! The whole place is bright, airy, CLEAN, such good energy. Couldn't recommend more highly for a small - medium group / family mash up! Adore Michele and her space!

Meet The Host

Hi - Thanks for checking out our vacation homes! We are a family of four (myself, husband, son and daughter). We purchased our Surf City home in March 2022, and took over management in October (previously managed by a large local management company).

We purchased property for our Desert Aire home in 2000 after years of staying with friends. We built a home that was complete at the end of 2022 and love spending time with family and friends out there when we can.

We're excited to share our vacation properties with others to enjoy as well!
