Wonderful place to stay.

We had an excellent stay at Summer Salt Cottage. The home was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained, with a layout that worked perfectly for our group. The location on Saint George Island was peaceful and ideal for our whole family. Communication with the host was prompt and clear, making the entire stay seamless. We would absolutely recommend this property and would be happy to return.

The best vacation ever because of Summer Salt Cottage!

This was one of the best vacations we’ve ever taken, and all thanks to Summer Salt Cottage! There wasn’t a single detail overlooked in the condo to make our stay enjoyable. We loved the convenience to the beach, private pool, and how clean and fully stocked the condo was. The host was wonderful - so quick to respond and very attentive. Without a doubt, we will be booking at Summer Salt again when visiting SGI!

Spectacular!

My family had such a wonderful experience last summer and decided we had to come back again this year! It’s the perfect spot on SGI with a beautiful view of the ocean, morning sunrises and evening sunsets. The house is spacious with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and a beautiful pool. I will continue to recommend Summer Salt to many of my friends because we love it so much. Beth and Kenny are wonderful hosts!!

Fantastic SGI Vacation!

This was our first year staying at Summer Salt Cottage and we will be back! The location was a quick golf cart ride to just about anywhere on the island and a short ride or walk to the beach. The pool was large for the size of the house and the kitchen had everything we needed. Breakfast and lunch on the balcony were very enjoyable. Beth, the owner, was also fantastic to work with and easy to reach/communicate with.

Summer Salt Stay

Summer Salt is our favorite place to stay when we visit SGI! Beth is beyond the best host we have rented through. Not only does she keep us updated prior to our stay, but even checks in on us during our stay. We have never had to take anything extra that would be needed for the stay. The kitchen/house has everything (even a first-aid kit, which we had to use our last stay for a bee sting)! The view from the house is gorgeous as well!

Amazing Stay!

Our first-time visit to St. George Island was amazing and so was the Summer Salt Cottage! The location of the house is perfect in a relaxed setting with the beach and ocean just a short walk away. Everything inside was super clean and up to date and we had plenty of space with our two kids. Beth is super responsive and does whatever she can to make sure your stay is a memorable one. We definitely will be coming back in the future!

Awesome place

Beth was a great host. We stayed for a month and she regularly checked in to ensure we had everything we needed. We have stayed in many guest houses over the years and this was by far the best furnished and equipped home we have had the opportunity to stay at. We would highly recommend Summer Salt cottage. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home.

Summer Salt, the Perfect Vacation Home

Summer Salt has become a favorite vacation home on SGI for our family. It is sparkling clean and well equipped for cooking and other activities. The pool is perfect for our family. The easy access to the beach, children's playground, and center of the island are also plus factors for us.

Perfectly appointed beach house

We loved staying at Summer Salt. The cleanliness, comfort, and accommodations made it a home away from home. We enjoyed the view of the gulf from the balcony and the convenient location relative to St George Island restaurants and shopping. Would recommend the location and the host! A+

The Best Time!

Beautiful house with all of the amenities! So close to the beach but a lovely pool right outside the door. Close to all of the conveniences but still felt very private. We had a beautiful view of the harvest moon, enjoyed lovely meals, and had plenty of space for our group. We loved how thoughtful the hosts were - so many amenities on hand. We already made reservations here for our next trip!
