Sale Di Mare, which translates to Sea Salt, is colorful, vibrant, and Mediterranean-inspired with beautiful added touches. Our villa is a three-bedroom home with two full bathrooms and one half bath. Two of the bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom (not the master bedroom).

Two bedrooms feature king-size beds, and the third bedroom has a queen bed. Bath and bed linens are included, along with shampoo, body wash, and hand soap. All bedrooms have smart TVs, dressers, nightstands, and walk-in closets.

The living room couch converts to a sleeper for two, allowing the home to sleep eight comfortably. We offer an outdoor shower, an outdoor space for dining and relaxing (including a BBQ), and a balcony off the master bedroom with comfortable, cozy cushioned chairs. You can even see the lighthouse beacon blink at night.

The kitchen is fully equipped with just about everything you need, including additional amenities such as a crockpot, air fryer, Keurig, regular coffee maker, Italian espresso pot, lobster pot, dinnerware, and more.

A complimentary starter kit is provided for your first night and includes:

-One roll of paper towels

-One roll of toilet paper per bathroom (2 rolls total)

-One kitchen sponge

-One dishwasher pod

-Two kitchen garbage bags

-A few Keurig coffee pods

-A few sugar packets and single-serve coffee creamers

-One laundry detergent pod

The dining area seats eight, and the kitchen island has four counter stools and a wine fridge (for a total of 12 seats to enjoy your meals). The washer and dryer are located upstairs. The living room features a TV, and the home includes Wi-Fi throughout.

We also have a garage to store your beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards, and more. The villa includes six beach chairs, two beach carts, two UPF 50+ beach umbrellas, beach toys, and two boogie boards for your enjoyment during your stay.

There is a parking spot available in our driveway, with additional guest/visitor parking throughout the community. (Please note: parking in the garage is NOT permitted)

We are within walking distance to restaurants, specifically Corolla Light Town Center, and very close to the 4x4 beach where you can catch a glimpse of the wild horses (just five minutes north of us). The pier for tranquil sunsets can be found across the street at the Historic Whalehead Club alongside the Currituck Beach Lighthouse.

Sale Di Mare is also perfectly nestled between Duck and Carova, so you get charming shops and restaurants nearby along with the natural beauty the Outer Banks is known for.

Fishing, surfing, and swimming are just steps away. Corolla has one fully ADA-accessible beach access with a ramp for beach wheelchairs, located across from the Currituck Beach Lighthouse on Corolla Village Road — the same beach access our guests use. A lifeguard is on duty at the beach.

Corolla Surf Shop hosts surfing lessons at our beach, as it’s a great spot to catch the waves. We are that close to Historic Corolla Village, where you can bike, walk, and stroll. It truly is a beautiful and peaceful place.

Grocery stores such as Harris Teeter and Food Lion are just five to ten minutes south of us. Lighthouse Bagels and Seaside Farm Market are also a short drive away (5–10 minutes). You’ll find fresh local seafood, produce, and homemade baked goods at the market.

Please let us know if you have any questions. For your convenience, we offer a 2-night minimum stay with flexible check-in and check-out on any day of the week. It would be our pleasure to connect with you and share our dream come true!

Guest access
You have full access to the entire property plus the attached one car garage. Parking is not allowed in the garage, but parking in our driveway is permitted. An EV charger is available in the garage. When charging your EV vehicle, please keep it parked in the driveway. NOTE* EV cable is NOT included.
