Host didn’t answer right away. I posted Friday we needed help she answered on Saturday or Sunday. I text her days before our stay with a question she has yet to answer. The place stunk like sewage. We could not find where the smell was coming from.

Very nice

This is a beautiful location. I was hoping for a better view of the ocean from the cabana, but it's a quick walk to get there. Be sure to read the entire message in VRBO - there's lots of information that slipped by me because I skimmed - my bad! Loved the few days we were there even with once full day of rain.

Peaceful beach cabana

The cabana was so cute and peaceful. If you have a lifted truck you will not fit under the cabana but there were a few spots to park which worked out. The sun deck had a perfect view of the beach and it was a very short walk to the beach. The location was perfectly placed between hatteras village and Frisco.I would highly recommend this adorable cabana.

Quick getaway

We enjoyed our stay however when we did encounter an issue (the AC stopped working on our last day) We could not get in touch with host. I left two messages and called once and was never contacted. We left a note for the cleaners so that hopefully it would get to the host and the issue could be fixed prior to new renters coming in.

Cabana Stay

We have a wonderful week staying in Log Shaker of Salt. The good far outweighed the bad. Minor bads: The Two large stove burners didn’t work, CD player didn’t work “nocd” code for multiple disks. No problem for us, as we don’t usually watch TV on vacation. They can use a high table on top deck for snacks and drinks while watching the sunset. Overall fine vacation. with Netflix and Prime.

Beautiful little cabana

I loved the little cabana. Very close to the beach and cabana was attractive and clean. Didn’t have any communications with the host but didn’t need them as instructions were very clear on VRBO site and did get the needed final check in instructions three days before my checkin date which was exactly what it said on Vrbo site. I would come back to the cabanas.

In Need Of Repairs & Maintenance

The owner(s) of unit #22 have not maintained it. The pictures have to be 10+ years old. They furniture on the main deck is falling apart; we could not use the table and benches at all. The other furniture needs a good cleaning. The rooftop deck should not be used; the structural bolts are completely rusted and while we were there, part of that decking fell off and landed on the deck below right in front of the entrance to the home. The first floor “tiki bar” area was a complete mess; it is dirty and has not been maintained. Inside the house was okay; however, it is in need of maintenance as well. The kitchen faucet leaks and the bed is HORRIBLE. I messaged the “host” however I have not received a response.
