We had a wonderful stay at the Salty Dog beach house The home was spacious and it accommodated our large family with plenty of room for everyone to relax The hot tub was a huge hit after a day at the beach especially with the kids One thing to note is that the luggage lift was not available for use even though it did appear in some pictures of the advertisement for the house We messaged George about this and he explained that it is a liability and the lift is unavailable for us to use Be Aware there are 44 stairs to the third level with two landings in between the bottom & top level It was a lot of work to haul up one week's worth of luggage groceries etc. and then down again when checking out. I would have gladly signed a release waiver to use the lift On the plus side the beach is just steps away making it incredibly convienient to enjoy The location was perfect for a fun relaxing family getaway We made so many great memories here and would defininitly stay again Highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely come back! The home was peaceful and tucked away from all the hustle and bustle, making it the perfect place for our family to relax and enjoy quality time together. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. When the microwave stopped working, I reached out to let them know, and by lunchtime they had already gone out and purchased a new microwave so we would have one to use for the remainder of our trip. Their kindness and dedication to making sure we were comfortable truly stood out. If you’re looking for a quiet, family-friendly getaway with hosts who genuinely care about their guests, this is the place. We can’t wait to return!

Absolutely stunning place! The home is just as pictured but you don’t really appreciate the design elements, level of detail, and atmosphere until you are in the home. It felt so cozy yet high end and inviting. My favorite was the location. It truly feels like you are on a private beach. It’s great for gatherings and has all the amenities a group can ask for. It was a fantastic vacation and I would love to come back! Highly recommend! Oh and George is amazing. Very responsive and proactive in making sure you have a great stay. Fantastic house and trip all around.
