This was our 2nd stay here, and we chose it for the 4 bedrooms and the proximity to the beach. It has everything you need for a comfy stay, and I personally love the outside shower option. The fact that the host provides paper products, linens, and towels is a BIG plus as well! The only other nicety would be for the owner to provide 4 backpack chairs.

House is the epitome of beach house, bright, cheery, spacious and so close to beach. Only issue was us Northerners didn’t know about the little cactus in the grass and both of our littles stepped on some. It was a bit traumatizing getting them out but hey it happens! But no complaints house was perfect!! Thank you!

Thank you for choosing "Old Salt". I will contact my landscaper to see what he can do to rectify the cactus. We certainly hope to have you stay again. Cordially, Daphne

The house provides an exceptional stay. Everyone was able to have their own privacy. There was always a bathroom available when someone needed one. The lay out made the family able to enjoy family time together, yet allowed for personal space as needed. This house has the most inviting rooms. Quiet places to read or scroll on your phone without interruption. ( Clean, ample parking, climate control as needed and worked great. ) We all loved it!
