Absolutely Awesome!

From the moment we booked communication was simple and efficient with the owner, Matt. He went above and beyond to make sure we have everything we needed in the rental and information about the areas. The pictures do not do this rental justice, The rental is super well appointed and very comfy!! The real star is the wraparound porch with stunning views! Would highly recommend!!!

A weekend at Salty Bones

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at Salty Bones! The host happened to be there when we arrived. It was so nice to meet him in person. He made sure we had everything we needed and was available by phone in case something came up. The newly renovated house was well supplied with kitchen equipment and appliances, plenty of bathroom towels, comfortable beds & bedding, and even a water cooler. But the best amenity was the outside deck with all new furniture and the best view anyone could ask for. We loved the early morning sunrises on the deck while watching the boats go out for the day. All you need to bring are your vacation clothes and everything else is there in the house at your disposal. Couldn't have dreamed of a better place to stay!

Memorial Weekend Getaway

Our family had the most incredible stay at Salty Bones this Memorial Day weekend! The location was absolutely perfect, right on the water with great views from the deck. The home was clean, comfortable, and fully stocked with all the amenities we could ask for. Matlacha had such a laid-back vibe, and the people were so friendly. I started my mornings with a cup of coffee on the deck, watching the boats head out from the park across the canal. The convenience of the boat ramp at the park make it easy you are bringing a boat. Instead of taking our boat, we rented the boat at the property, Salty Bones II, which is a 21-foot center console that was comfortable, rode well, and had plenty of storage. From the home, we were in the channel in under 5 minutes. The central location allowed for easy trips to Cayo Costa, the sandbar at Boca Grande, and lunch at Cabbage Key. Being within walking distance to shops and restaurants was a major plus. Our stay at Salty Bones was truly unforgettable, and we can't wait to return for another visit. Thank you for providing us with the perfect Memorial Day weekend getaway!
