A Taste of Coastal Living
Step inside A Lil Salt ‘n Lime and take in the large, airy main living area that captures the relaxed charm of coastal living. It’s the kind of space that naturally brings everyone together, whether catching a movie on the Smart TV or easing into the day with coffee and sunshine spilling through the windows.
The stylish kitchen features clean lines, stainless steel appliances and everything needed to prepare vacation favorites. Adorn the kitchen island with a spread of fresh fruit bowls, serve a dinner prepared with Carolina shrimp tacos or throw together delicious sandwiches for a picnic on the beach. Two barstools at the island make it easy to chat with the cook while enjoying a refreshing beverage. Just a few steps away, the dining room table comfortably seats eight, perfect for family dinners, game nights or planning your next beach day.
Slide open the doors off the living room and step out onto the deck. Boundless ocean views and a lineup of comfy chairs create an ideal spot for catching an ocean breeze, unwinding after a day in the sun and swapping stories as sunset’s peachy hues paint the sky.
Downstairs, the game room keeps the good times going with a second Smart TV, a foosball table and a wet bar with stools. It’s the kind of place that brings everyone together and makes it tough to leave.
A Lil Rest ‘n Retreat
After a day spent chasing waves, soaking up sunshine and making memories, A Lil Salt ‘n Lime offers restful sleep that only comes from true vacation mode. With 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, the rental property boasts space for everyone to unwind comfortably and plenty of quiet corners to settle in and reset before any adventure.
The primary suite is a luxurious retreat, featuring a plush king bed and a private bathroom with a spa-style rain shower, sprayer and bench seat. Three additional bedrooms with king beds offer coastal-inspired furnishings, soft linens and sleep that comes naturally after a seaside day. You can even wind down with a favorite show on one of the Smart TVs before drifting off. The fifth bedroom, with two single beds, is perfect for younger guests or friends staying up late recapping their beach discoveries.
Whether it’s a midday nap after the beach or flipping through a good book before bed, every room wraps you in comfort that lingers well after lights out. It’s the kind of rest you wish to take with you.
A Lil Sunshine & Sea Time
At A Lil Salt ‘n Lime, the beach is just a short stroll away, putting you moments from soft sand and ocean breezes. With two public beach accesses nearby, you can start your day with a sunrise walk, spend hours by the shore or dip your toes in one last time before sunset. Pack a picnic, grab your beach bag and let the rhythm of the coast guide the day.
There’s no shortage of ways to enjoy your time by the water. Build sandcastles, collect seashells, float in the gentle surf or bring a volleyball for a little friendly competition. Let the kids race along the shoreline while you unwind in a beach chair with a good book. Since the home is pet friendly, your pup can join you for sandy adventures too. When the beach day wraps up, rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water—a refreshing way to shift from beach mode to evening plans.
And the fun doesn’t stop at the shoreline. Just across Emerald Drive, a public boat ramp opens the door to new adventures, and with boat parking at the house, planning a day on the water is always within reach. Paddle through Bogue Sound, go pier fishing, or take a scenic boat tour to Shackleford Banks, where wild horses roam. Back on land, spend your afternoons biking the island, browsing local shops, or grabbing a sweet treat from a local ice cream shop. Then wrap up the day with fresh seafood at one of Emerald Isle’s renowned restaurants.
From peaceful mornings by the waves to afternoons filled with coastal adventure, A Lil Salt ‘n Lime is where easygoing days turn into the memories you’ll talk about for years.
