I’m hesitant to write reviews typically, but I have to brag on this property and the owners. They were accommodating to our schedule, communicated quickly and professionally, and followed through exactly as promised. They have thought of everything and are fantastic hosts. The house is adorable! The decor is so cute- it felt like home. There are tons of games (indoor and outdoor), and the pool was clean, warm and had lots of fun stuff to do. The property is close to restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. The neighborhood was quiet. Book this place! You won’t regret it.

Thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to your return visit
Awesome place, very nicely decorated and well setup. Unfortunately the weather prevented use of the really nice pool for most of the visit, but the house had tons of indoor activities to keep the kids entertained. Would definitely consider this place again next time we're in town.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re so glad you enjoyed the home and all the indoor activities! We completely understand how the weather can impact pool time, and we’re happy to hear the house still provided plenty of fun and comfort during your stay. We’d absolutely love to host you again hopefully next time with perfect pool weather
The host was amazingly helpful. We had a wonderful stay at Salty Palm. So peaceful and quiet there. We loved sitting on the screened in patio every day. Our favorite restaurant was Long Doggers! The home was very comfortable. Hope to have a chance to go back there again.

Thank you so much for the five-star review!
We’re grateful for every guest who chooses our home and would love the opportunity to host you on your next getaway.
The house was very well kept, clean and so comfortable for our stay. The beds and home furnishings were current and comfortable. Our host communicated instructions well in advance so we had no surprises. We really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend this home to others looking in the Palm Bay Area.
The pool was enjoyable although it was a little cold and the lights at night didn't all work. The bed in the nautical room for some reason made two of my kids break out with a rash and there was no cutting board in the kitchen. Other than that the house was comfy and Beautiful it fit our family perfectly.

Thank you so much for your feedback—we’re really glad to hear the pool was enjoyable although chilly.
We did want to mention that there is typically a cutting board on the counter by the lamp, as well as two stored under the counter to the left of the dishwasher. We’ll be sure to double-check that they’re still there and haven’t been removed—thank you for bringing that to our attention.
We’re so sorry to hear about your children experiencing a rash—that’s definitely concerning. For reference, we use Tide on all of our linens along with Bounce dryer sheets, but we truly appreciate you letting us know so we can continue to monitor and ensure everything is as comfortable as possible for future guests.
Regarding the pool lights, they are on a turn dial located to the left of the doors. They can be a bit particular and require a short pause between each setting for the colors to change properly—we’ll also take a look to make sure everything is functioning as it should.
Thank you again for your helpful feedback. We truly appreciate it and would love the opportunity to host you and your family again in the future!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had every amenity we could possibly need. It truly felt like a home away from home.The host was fantastic—very responsive, welcoming, and clearly takes great pride in making sure guests have the best experience possible. Check-in was smooth, communication was excellent!! The location was perfect, and the house itself was comfortable, quiet, and incredibly well maintained. We especially loved the relaxing atmosphere and the thoughtful touches throughout the property. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. Five stars all the way!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful stay and felt right at home. It means a lot to us that you noticed the details—we truly love creating a relaxing experience for our guests. We would be honored to host you again anytime!
Great neighborhood, quiet and pleasant. Comfortable home, clean and spacious. Home is located near restaurants and shopping. I highly recommend this home and will definitely be back!
We had a wonderful stay at the Salty Palm and would absolutely give the home and our experience 5 stars. The house was beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and very well suited for our family. The location was great, and we genuinely enjoyed our time there.We did have an oversight on our reservation and inadvertently did not update the guest count to include our two teenage children. We also had family who live nearby visit us with their dog and did not realize we needed to disclose the dog since it was only visiting and did not stay overnight. Once this was brought to our attention, we gladly paid the additional pet fee.There was also an additional cleaning charge discussed because the full guest count and visiting pet had not been disclosed in advance. After we spoke and explained the circumstances, Jennifer was very understanding and accommodating and graciously absorbed that additional cleaning expense.For future guests, I would simply recommend making sure the reservation accurately reflects everyone in your party and disclosing any pets, including visiting pets, ahead of time. This allows the host to properly coordinate the cleaning crew and avoid any misunderstandings regarding cleaning costs.Jennifer was responsive and accommodating, and we appreciated being able to communicate openly and work everything out on a positive note. Most importantly, we had a great family vacation, thoroughly enjoyed the home, and would happily recommend the Salty Palm to others.
I stayed here with some friends for a mom retreat and we had such a nice, relaxing time at the Salty Palm. The rooms were lovely, and you could really tell the owners take a lot of pride in their property and care about their guests. The home is a 5 minute drive to shopping and restaurants, and close to major roads to jump on the highway or drive over to the beach. The yard is huge! This would be a great place to stay if you were traveling with kids.
This home was beautiful and had everything we needed. The host quickly answered all of our questions. We really enjoyed the home and the neighborhood. The backyard was larger than we expected and our dogs enjoyed chasing the squirrels. We would definitely stay again!
I’ve visited family in Palm Bay for many years and have stayed in many VRBO properties, all have been worthy of additional stays. This property and the hosts were as close to perfection for our family as we’ve gotten. Excellent communication from reservation to departure. Very clean and well-maintained property inside and out, quiet neighborhood, close to everything, and plenty of parking. Beautiful rooms, well-stocked bathrooms, and extra sofa beds. Family-oriented (our youngest had just turned 2) with the special play areas, tons of family games, a fenced-in yard, a pool, and travel bed and high chair. Days were filled with at-home activities rather than cell phones (for the older kids) and days running to the beaches, although beaches are close for those who prefer them. This home has just become our number one choice when visiting. Many thanks to our hosts for sharing their beautiful home with us!

Thank you so much for such an incredible review—it truly means the world to us! We’re honored to be your new number one choice when visiting Palm Bay. It makes us so happy to hear your family enjoyed the space, especially the play areas, games, and time together—that’s exactly what we hope to create for our guests. It was an absolute pleasure hosting your family, and we would love to welcome you back anytime!
It is obvious that this property is given all of the attention to detail and commitment to excellent service that makes for a great place to stay while visiting the area. The home is beautifully done with all of the features needed for individuals or a family to enjoy, it is in a very safe and convenient location, and we have already been glad to recommend it to friends who live in the area for the use of their families and friends when they come to visit.
I would HIGHLY recommend The Salty Palm! The pictures don’t do justice the this beautiful and fully equipped house. Very clean and just what we wanted as a family, especially with littles. The back yard is fantastic for the kids to play, we brought bikes and a little fold out pool, but we also enjoyed the fire pit, connect four, and the corn hole boards! Not only equipped with all the appliances you may need but games too, from cards/games to kid/baby toys, fun for all ages! Hosts were very responsive, checked in often to see if we had everything we needed and worked with us when we decided to extend our stay at this wonderful home! We will definitely be returning in the future!
House was beautiful! Beds were super comfy. Pool was amazing, lots of board games and really close to restaurants and stores. Who could want more. Thanks for being such a great host Jennifer!
This home was clean and well laid out. All amenities functional and added to a great vacation time. All communications with the host was friendly and timely and responsive to my questions. We would most definitely choose this property again.
