About the host
Hosted by Jo Tinker

The Salty Anchor welcomes you! My name is Jo Tinker, mother of four (two bipeds and two fur baby four-legged!). I enjoy the road less traveled to this beautiful and unique community away from the hustle of modern life. My mother had a gypsy spirit, my father was a sailor who felt one with the sea. My other half grew up boating the Virginia waterways. We met at twenty and have been together ever since. I’m told I’m quirky and opinionated. I love color in all things, clothes, flowers and sunsets! Vacations for me mean hiking, biking, climbing and swimming, also there isn’t a jigsaw I don’t love. At forty five I decided it was a good time to learn to surf- wish me luck. Jack is grounded and loving, he prefers to slow down and savor life’s moments. He can fix just about damn near anything and 80s was a decade that should be anointed in his opinion. We still dance in the kitchen! We have a son who loves swimming, hiking, a well written book and photography. He perceives the world from a different and beautiful angle. We have a daughter that adores all things equine, has a sharp wit and a fabulous sense of humor, always equipped with a good pun for me! She masters most athletic feats with ease (while I was crashing with the waves, she sailed above). We have had animals our entire relationship and are not able to tamp down the desire to pet every new dog we encounter when away from our own! Exploring and food are our passions, ice cream and beer our addictions! My hope is that one day we will have visited all the national parks, driven from coast to coast and from North Pole to south! We adore the Salty Anchor for its off the beaten path sandy environment, the ever present yet changing ocean views, the open & warm gathering space and the restful bedrooms. This is a dream that should not be hoarded, a dream that we plan to share with our loved ones. It would please us to no end to share this with your family so great memories can be created.
Why they chose this property
The view says it all. The house adds its charm, wonderful open communal space and ample dining areas. The bedrooms are not only large and comfortable but have been uniquely curated! And within a few steps, the ocean awaits, you can wave to England from the porch!
What makes this property unique
Where else can your drive on the beach to your vacation stay? Where you can explore the sand roads in search of wild ponies like Thelma and Midnight? Where you can watch the pelicans glide by and dolphins frolic?
