You'll find state-of-the-art appliances, kitchen gadgets, a 6qt Instant Pot, nonstick ceramic pots and pans, silverware, glassware, and anything else you'd ever need to whip up a decadent meal for the whole group. You'll also find a premium coffee and tea bar, farm-fresh local eggs, and pancake mix so you've got breakfast covered.

OTHER NOTES ABOUT THE HOME

☀ Pet-Friendly... SaltWood welcomes potty-trained, well-behaved pets for a flat rate of $300/pet/stay. We kindly ask that nails be trimmed as close to arrival as possible. *NO CATS ALLOWED
☀ Privacy... The property is very private and quiet. There's one neighbor to the north. They will respect your privacy and we also ask that you do the same for them (be mindful of using drones, playing extremely loud music at night, etc...)
☀ The Japanese soaking tub... Not to be confused with a store-bought jacuzzi, the jets in this custom-built tub were built for water and heat circulation (not massaging the body). The muffled sound of the jets allows you to enjoy the serenity of ocean waves crashing onto the shore below. We set the temperature to 101 and you can adjust accordingly.

Great family holiday.
Saltwood is situated on a very beautiful spot. overlooking the sound. While we were there over Christmas so the weather wasn't ideal, it still had wonderful views and access to walk on the beach. The owners and Savvy Travel were extremely responsive, prompt, and organized. They even put up a Christmas tree and decorations after asking if we were interested in doing so. They also helped us organize a Chef's dinner at the house, fitness center guest passes, and provided numerous (good) restaurant recommendations. Great place for a family vacation (6 people).
