Salty Harbor AMI

This little cottage and backyard pool were perfect for the two of us. The location is only a 10 minute walk to the beach, and yet can be enjoyed by the pool as well. It’s located in a pleasant, quite neighborhood, with plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby.

The place was great, everything was as expected. We liked that there was some basic things like spices, oil and coffe for cooking and comfort. Pool was not that big but worked fine for us since not everybody was in it at the same time.

Cute duplex with great pool

Great stay at salty harbor for our spring break vacay. Mario was very responsive. Beds were super comfortable and it was the perfect size for 4 people. Short walk to the trolley stop and beach access. Nice to have chairs and umbrellas available for the beach as we flew. 2 bikes were fun to ride around in the evenings. We will be back

It’s Perfect!

Our family of four loved our stay at Mario’s property! It’s exactly as the photos show, if not better. The thoughtfulness of the items at the property make it perfect for those staying from out of town. It was clean, comfortable, quiet and just perfect. Walking distance to the beach, close to restaurants and grocery store. It truly was fantastic and we will definitely stay here again. Thank you, Mario!!

Everything was as pictured. The owner was always quick to respond to any questions that arose. Though it was a duplex, our rental seemed very private. Beautiful back yard with pool. Lots of extras the host supplied which was fabulous. Sad to leave😞

My husband and I stayed here for two weeks. Everything was as advertised. The place and especially the back yard were beautiful! We needed to contact the host the first day to get the code to the thermostat to turn on the heat (yes it was that cold for a few days). Mario answered quickly and was very helpful!

Very nice property,updated inside, nice size pool, great location, and outstanding communication with the owner. Only concern, A/C, and bath tub handle hard to work. However the owner, was very active toward resolving the AC and no doubt will address the bath handle. I would have no reservations toward booking thid house again.

Lovely little mini-resort!

Such a nice property! Spacious, well-appointed and super clean. The hosts provided everything we needed and more. Lots of nice linens, cooking supplies, comfortable beds and bath amenities. And the little backyard is like a resort, with mini golf, cornhole, a cute pool that has a waterfall, basketball hoop, built-in table(!), and fun lighting at night. We also enjoyed the front porch for our morning coffee. The unit is a duplex, but felt completely private and we didn't hear or see the people on the other side. Nice neighborhood, close to Publix, and an easy walk to the beach for amazing sunsets every evening. Thank you, Mario, for a lovely getaway and great, prompt communication.
