Salty Girls Realty & Rentals was created from a genuine love for the North Carolina coast and a belief that vacation rental management and real estate should feel personal, transparent, and relationship-driven.

Founder and broker Dawn Pierce has been vacationing on Oak Island since her daughter was just one year old, returning year after year to stay oceanfront with her family. Nearly 16 years later, what began as family vacations turned into a permanent lifestyle change when Dawn and her family sold their farm property near Charlotte and made the move to the coast to build their home and grow their business locally.

Today, Dawn lives and works within the community, raising her children in local schools and building strong relationships throughout Oak Island, Southport, and the surrounding Brunswick County area.

Real estate sales are conducted through Century 21 Collective, allowing clients to benefit from the strength of a nationally recognized brand while still receiving a personalized, boutique-level experience. With Dawn, clients also gain the added advantage of a vacation rental perspective—understanding not only how to buy or sell a home, but how that property can perform as an investment. From projected rental income to design and setup recommendations, every purchase is approached with both lifestyle and return in mind.

Alongside real estate and vacation rental management, Dawn and her husband, a licensed general contractor, share a passion for building and investing in coastal properties.

The goal is simple—to create exceptional experiences for guests while helping homeowners feel confident, informed, and genuinely cared for.
