Spectacular!

My family had such a wonderful experience last summer and decided we had to come back again this year! It’s the perfect spot on SGI with a beautiful view of the ocean, morning sunrises and evening sunsets. The house is spacious with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and a beautiful pool. I will continue to recommend Summer Salt to many of my friends because we love it so much. Beth and Kenny are wonderful hosts!!

Beautiful house on a beautiful beach!

Summer Salt was a great place to vacation on St George. The owners were prepared for our arrival, pleasant to interact with, and easy/quick to communicate. Beautiful pool, beautiful beach, just bring your food and never leave the island!

Summer Salt Stay

Summer Salt is our favorite place to stay when we visit SGI! Beth is beyond the best host we have rented through. Not only does she keep us updated prior to our stay, but even checks in on us during our stay. We have never had to take anything extra that would be needed for the stay. The kitchen/house has everything (even a first-aid kit, which we had to use our last stay for a bee sting)! The view from the house is gorgeous as well!

Fantastic SGI Vacation!

This was our first year staying at Summer Salt Cottage and we will be back! The location was a quick golf cart ride to just about anywhere on the island and a short ride or walk to the beach. The pool was large for the size of the house and the kitchen had everything we needed. Breakfast and lunch on the balcony were very enjoyable. Beth, the owner, was also fantastic to work with and easy to reach/communicate with.

Amazing Stay!

Our first-time visit to St. George Island was amazing and so was the Summer Salt Cottage! The location of the house is perfect in a relaxed setting with the beach and ocean just a short walk away. Everything inside was super clean and up to date and we had plenty of space with our two kids. Beth is super responsive and does whatever she can to make sure your stay is a memorable one. We definitely will be coming back in the future!

5 star beautiful beach home

You will not be disappointed staying at Summer Salt Cottage! This was our second stay here and we're already planning our third visit for 2026. The home is well maintained and was very clean upon arrival. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more! Easily walkable to the beach and a quick bike ride to the shops and restaurants. The owners have graciously supplied beach necessities for those who are traveling long distance and don't/can't bring those items. I could not recommend Summer Salt enough!

Awesome place

Beth was a great host. We stayed for a month and she regularly checked in to ensure we had everything we needed. We have stayed in many guest houses over the years and this was by far the best furnished and equipped home we have had the opportunity to stay at. We would highly recommend Summer Salt cottage. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home.

SGI Summer 2025 family getaway

Great week at Summer Salt! House is conveniently located close to the center of island and on a perfect corner lot that allows easy access via a golf cart. The outdoor shower and toilet is a great addition for everyone while enjoying the pool or coming in from the beach. The entire house is well decorated in every room, and well equipped with whatever kitchen gadget you may need. And the master bath shower…absolutely the best! We had a wonderful trip for our small family and look forward to a return booking of this house in the future! The owners are great hosts and checked in several times during the week via text message to ensure everything was ok with the stay. Hated to leave at the end of the week!

Heaven by the Gulf

Although the weather was terrible, we had a blast. The home was decorated perfectly, very clean with an outstanding view. The hosts were exceptional. We enjoyed cooking and going out, even in the rain.

Summer Salt has become a favorite vacation home on SGI for our family. It is sparkling clean and well equipped for cooking and other activities. The pool is perfect for our family. The easy access to the beach, children's playground, and center of the island are also plus factors for us.

The perfect week with our family!!

My experience (as the family trip coordinator) with Beth was seamless! That meant so much! Beth is extremely responsive and the best host I’ve ever experienced. The Cottage is perfectly located, beautiful, well stocked (with necessities, games, puzzles, etc.) and extremely comfortable for my family of 8. We had the best time at the beach flying kites, making s’mores, etc. We so enjoyed riding bikes, cooking together, walking for ice cream and so much more. Wonderful memories made!

Perfectly appointed beach house

We loved staying at Summer Salt. The cleanliness, comfort, and accommodations made it a home away from home. We enjoyed the view of the gulf from the balcony and the convenient location relative to St George Island restaurants and shopping. Would recommend the location and the host! A+

Best Property Managers

Summer Salt is a dream place to stay! We loved the location, right on the corner across from the beach access. Normally, when we vacation there is always something in the kitchen we end up needing, but not at Summer Salt. Our favorite part about this rental is how personable the property managers are. They reached out several times seeing if we needed anything. To our family, that means so much! We can’t wait to vacation there again next summer!
