New Ownership, Same Great Ocean Isle Feel
Salt & Sound was newly purchased by experienced vacation rental owners in June 2026 who are committed to providing an exceptional guest experience.

From the cavernous waterfront deck, you'll savor expansive vistas of boats passing through the waterway, kayakers exploring the marshes, fishermen heading out for the day, and coastal birds soaring overhead.
