Really cute newly renovated home. It was perfect for our family. We loved the large fence to give us privacy. The property managers were great to communicate with. Very responsive. Highly recommend

Thank you so much for this glowing review, Jules! It was such a pleasure hosting you at Saltwater Cottage and we hope to host you again soon!
You have access to a private beach (which is not nearly as busy as the park area). It’s a great spot and easy walk to beach! The. You can jump in the pool and cool down after:). The house was really clean. I would recommend renting a golfcart as we accessed most of the island on it! Really fun- we will be back! Oh and dog friendly!!

The pool wasn't heated, though advertised as so. The pool also had a lot of leaves floating around. A breaker tripped out first night there and we never figured out where the box was. The inside of the property and patio were immaculate.

Hi Karen! Thank you so much for your kind review. Pool heat can be added to your reservation for an additional fee! Please feel free to let us know if you'd like to add that on during your next visit and we'd be happy to turn it on before your stay, as the pool typically takes about 24 hours to warm up. Also if any other issues arise during a future stay, please feel free to call or text us, and we'd be more than happy to let you know where the breaker box is! It was a pleasure hosting you at Saltwater Cottage and we look forward to hopefully hosting you again very soon! Safe travels home to you.
Great location as it was easy to get to town and a short walk to the beach. Very clean and great communication from the management company. Living room looks nice but the big chairs weren’t great for relaxing - a sectional would have been better. The pool looks bigger in the photos but it was great to have to cool off. No shade in back yard and no umbrella, so bring your own. No lights in the backyard (or they weren’t working), so couldn't see our dogs when we let them out at night. Also, there was some debris in the pool and lots of leaves/acorns in the outdoor shower area. Overall, a great stay and cute Island town.
