Great Property

This is a great place to stay if you have a big party, the rooms are spaced out nicely. While the indoor living space is small, the outdoor living area and pool area make up for it! We had the best time and plan to visit again soon.

Amazing Stay

This is the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. The house is beautifully decorated and the landscaping is gorgeous. It had everything we could need and more. The location is right in the middle of everything and the host and staff were incredibly helpful and kind. We highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.

Girls’ Trip

This place is heaven! It’s exactly as pictured and better. It was was cozy but had plenty of space for our group of 7 - the outdoor seating areas are all beautiful! And the pool! So warm and relaxing. The host was also very responsive - when a circuit tripped, they were there within 10 minutes. I can’t recommend this property highly enough.

Perfect hideaway in town

The Saltbox is a stunning and secluded property in town. It’s an easy walk to shops, restaurants and the beach. The home is beautifully decorated with old island charm and modern conveniences. It’s incredibly comfortable for large groups or families.

The Salt Box was perfect!

The Salt Box was nicely situated in town, but quiet at night even in the midst of high school Spring Break! The two houses allow for privacy. It's perfect for a group that plans to eat out, but wants a nice relaxing home base. The pink outdoor shower was amazing!

Salt Box Heaven

We adored out time here, and cannot wait to return! Sofia is the loveliest host. We absolutely adored the outdoor spaces, from swimming in the heated pool, to taking refuge from the rain under the lounge tent structure in the backyard. Every detail in the house is perfection.

Amazing property

We had the absolute BEST time at the salt box and in harbour island!!! I am literally planning a trip back :) it was such a cool property with amazing outdoor space, a very well appointed kitchen, and great sleeping arrangements. We did a golf cart which was perfect for us to get around the island and felt super safe! 5 stars for salt box!!!!

Amazing Perfection!

Travel group included myself and Husband, both of our daughters ages 21 and 33 plus son-in-law and granddaughter not quite two years old. The property is just as it is described. We did rent a golf cart and we loved Mrs.. V’s for beach access, chairs/umbrella and great food and drink. Rental of crib was great. Our granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed running around the spacious property and chasing the roosters! Both dolce and Brianna were lovely and very sweet. We loved having a main house and guest house because it did give us some separation for those early mornings with a toddler.. the outdoor spaces are all spectacular!! we just cannot say enough good things about our experience!

Captured the magic of Harbour Island

This rental provided us with an oasis within an oasis. Our group of seven (three kids, two parents and two grandparents) were easily accommodated. The yard, pool, and outdoor showers were amazing and utilized daily. I’ve never had a more responsive host, and Briana and the rest of the crew who showed up daily were enjoyable to chat with and most helpful with our questions. The house is in the center of it all and provided easy access to the beach, our boat charters, and all of our dinner reservations.

Charming Home on Harbour Island

I was lucky enough to plan a trip for a group of friends to Harbour Island, and (after a few previous vacations staying elsewhere) I knew I wanted to stay at the Saltbox. The property has so much charm between the historic main house and gorgeous cottage, and the grounds are absolutely breathtaking. While we loved this house for our group of friends, it would be wonderful for two families as well. Brianna, the housekeeper, was a delight, and all of our communication with Sofia and Elie was a breeze. Thank you for the most wonderful memories- we will be back!!

Favorite place in Harbour Island

Salt Box is easily one of the most beautiful places to stay in Harbour Island and we had an amazing long weekend there. The location is very convenient for restaurants, bars and the beach (all walking distance) and the house has everything you would need; pool, well equipped kitchen, microwave, great stove. There is a beautiful barbeque area and lovely large garden for entertaining and one of our favourite things were the outdoor showers. The house fit us all perfectly and has very comfortable pillows and beds. There is a historic feel about the house which has so much character while still being functional and comfortable to stay in (and looks beautiful in our photographs). Brianna the housekeeper was also very helpful and friendly as well as hosts!

Even better in person

Salt Box is incredibly charming and well appointed. The house has everything you need AND the design of the home is very attractive in terms of the interiors. If you are a person who appreciates design you’ll very much enjoy the thoughtful details throughout. The interior lawn and pool is also beautiful and peaceful; we spent several late afternoons enjoying some shady respite by the pool. We did not prepare any large meals at the house but the outdoor dining area is clearly well suited for families or a group of adults - I can imagine it would be a lovely setting for ‘home’ cooked dinner. The owners have created a little slice of paradise in Salt Box - we couldn’t recommend it more!

It was lovely… although house keeping really wasn’t there to make beds and or wash and or replace any towels. We went to the beach almost everyday and we had dirty towels and would have loved them to have been washed at least once during our stay. We really had zero communication with the house keeper.

Family Time at The Salt Box

The Salt Box looked like it was straight out of a magazine. The house and cottage were beautifully decorated and the property itself was just beautiful as it was landscaped with tropical plants that are taken care of by a local gardener. There were plenty of spaces for the 8 of us to all gather together and the pool was the perfect size and very refreshing. The location of the house is central to everything on the island and the suggestions in the guest directory were great. We rented two golf carts, ate at many of the suggested restaurants, went fishing and snorkeling with one of the suggested guides. Overall, it was an amazing trip.
