We really enjoyed our stay at Salty and Sweet. It was clean, well maintained and close to the beach which was great. We made good use of the pickleball court and would happily stay here again.
We stayed one night ahead of the solar eclipse, we enjoyed the house, there was plenty of room, and the kids loved the bunk beds. Very clean, and lots of room.

With access to both pools, all the space in the condo, and the proximity to the beach made for a wonderful family vacation. We needed all these amenities since we were traveling with twin toddlers and 2 teens. Thanks for a great stay!

It rained several nights and the rain came in through the vents so there were wet spots all through the house. For the money I would have thought it would be better.

It was in a good location and had a few things brought to management that needed attended to and they would took care of it.
We had a wonderful stay at this location, everything was as described in the photos and listing. Good location to the beach. Only suggestions were that the electric sockets in the 2 queen room were hard to get to, maybe bring an extension cord. Also downstairs bathroom door is one of those barn doors, it was hard to lock.
