Amazing stay!

We had a great week at the house. I’ve been coming to the area my whole life and this is by far the nicest place we’ve stayed. The house was clean, close to the beach and well stocked with everything you’d need. The hosts were easy to get in touch with when needed. Highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a family friendly week at the beach!

A great well renovated, well equipped spacious house

We had lost our previous location and found this jewel. While not cheap, it is so well located; we have never had such a spacious well equipped house for our 10 family members. We appreciated all the towels, the outside shower for the kids, great bathrooms, a great kitchen and living area. One exception was a dishwasher malfunction for which we were graciously compensated for.

Great Beach Week

The house was well suited for our family of 10 plus two children. The kitchen was well stocked and the gas stove was a bonus. We had one of the hottest weeks and the air conditioner up stairs was not adequate to cool the entire floor of bedrooms. We ended up purchasing two small window units so we could sleep. The down stairs unit was fine. Great location and home was very comfortable and just minutes from the beach. We would definately rent again.

A Wonderful and Memorable Stay

This is a fantastic piece of property just across the street from Moody Beach. We had 10 people in our group and we never felt crowded. The house feels very open and spacious with lots of different areas for people to congregate. The front porch was a nice place to relax and we ate dinner outside every night. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed to cook. We very much appreciated the beach toys and wagon located in the shed because it made hauling our stuff to the beach pretty easy. I highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing week on a beautiful beach.

Wonderful time!

This house was perfect for our mix of four adults and four children. The house has so many things provided which made packing easy. The kitchen is gorgeous and the open living space is great. We loved spending time on deck and the front porch. The walk to the beautiful beach was so short. We really look forward to staying there again!

We had a wonderful time at Salty but Sweet house. It was very comfortable and plenty of space.

For my eightieth birthday I wanted to celebrate it at the ocean with my family. My 2 daughters and their spouse, their children (my grand kids) my older sister and her son and his wife. Salty but Sweet was perfect, with a large kitchen well organized with dishwaher and granite counters and we were all able to pitch in to prepare 'gourmet' diner. A nice large balcony at the back to relax before diner, and a breakfast room in the front where we all enjoyed the beginning of the day while having breakfast. The rooms and the beds were confortable. We were close enough to the beach so one or two of us, could come back and make lunch and carry it back to the beach for everyone to enjoy. We all agreed that Salty and Sweet was the best place to come back to when all of us (10) will come back to the ocean.
