I really enjoyed this property! The layout was nice that me and my family felt comfortable and not in each others way. Definitely planning on booking again!
The house was so nice…. Great location, newly renovated basement with so much room for everyone. The beds were very comfortable. I would recommend this house.

Clean, comfortable, charming home
Six of us stayed in this home for a wedding & we had a great experience. Sleeping arrangements & bed configuration was perfect. Kitchen is very nice & contained everything we needed. The place is very clean & charmingly decorated. The location was perfect for us. It’s close to the ocean & we had a lobster dinner in a cute restaurant directly across from the beautiful beach. The Salt & Shine Staff communicated with us in an extremely timely manner. We’d definitely stay at this location again in the future!
We stayed at the property for my sister’s baby moon. There were only three of us, since our fourth person dropped out last minute. We loved staying at this house, because it was very clean, comfortable, spacious, and close to everything we wanted to do. I slept like a baby every night, which is hard for me!
I also loved the garage, because I recently got a brand new electric SUV and wanted to keep it safe and clean. The garage was completely cleared out, so we were able to pull in upon our arrival.
We flagged one issue with the garbage disposal, but the property manager reached out to me immediately to address the problem. We think the last people may not have mentioned that there was an issue, so the property manager was not even aware.
I highly recommend staying here, and I plan on staying here for future trips.
