Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
No mentioning the home is a manufactured home. Had difficulties with the electronic front door lock; was only provided the code for the lock box after the fact we were locked out. Not a please with the property across the street; looked like a junk yard. Otherwise, the home was clean; however, will not make any future stays.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 November 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m glad to hear you found the home clean and comfortable. I’m sorry again for the brief inconvenience you experienced late one evening when there was difficulty re-entering the home. I responded and provided backup access instructions as soon as I was aware, and I also offered the option to cancel the following day for a full refund — which you kindly declined, letting me know that all was well.
While the listing photos focus on the interior spaces to highlight the guest experience, I understand that neighboring properties can sometimes affect first impressions. Unfortunately, I don’t have control over the property across the street, which sustained damage during a past hurricane, but I do hope its ongoing transition is completed soon.
My goal is always to ensure guests have a smooth, relaxing, and enjoyable stay, and I truly appreciate your understanding. Wishing you all the best in your future travels. 🌴
About the host
Your host
Hi, I’m Cassidy — a Gulf Coast enthusiast who splits time between Texas and Florida. By day, I help people make their dreams come true through real estate and mortgage lending, and by heart, I’m a host who loves creating spaces that bring joy, peace, and a touch of coastal magic. Hosting became especially meaningful to me after losing my sister, Bonnie, who shared my love for sunshine, salty air, and carefree days by the sea. The Salty Sister Retreat was inspired by her spirit and our favorite memories together, and it’s my way of helping others experience that same sense of connection and renewal. When I’m not helping clients or welcoming guests, you’ll find me exploring local beaches, collecting shark teeth, or enjoying good food and sunsets with family and friends. I love knowing that each person who stays here gets to make their own beautiful memories along Florida’s stunning Gulf Coast. 🌴💙
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it perfectly captures the charm and community spirit of coastal Florida. It’s a quiet, waterfront area of single-family homes where neighbors look out for one another and genuinely take pride in their surroundings. Most residents live here year-round, which gives the neighborhood a welcoming, close-knit feel that’s hard to find in more tourist-heavy areas. It’s the kind of place where you can take a morning walk, wave to friendly faces, and truly feel at home.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property unique is the heart behind it. The Salty Sister Retreat was created in honor of my sister, Bonnie, who shared my love for sunshine, white sand beaches, and the peaceful rhythm of coastal living. Every detail of the home was designed to capture that same sense of warmth, joy, and serenity we felt by the sea. It’s not just a vacation rental — it’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and make lasting memories in a home that was truly made with love. 💙
