We stay at a lot of short term vacation rentals, and this home is by far our most favorite. It had everything we needed, and much more! There is plenty of room for everyone to spread out, the views are beautiful, beds comfortable, technology, kitchen supplies, etc.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a fantastic experience at our vacation rental. Providing a comfortable and well-equipped home-away-from-home is our top priority, and it's rewarding to know that we succeeded in meeting your needs. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and are grateful for your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
The Salty Dog is over the top nice. We enjoyed every part of our visit. We fished every day, cooked, went to town for fun and dinner. The only downside was not being able to use the neighborhood boat launch. Having to go across the bay to a public ramp is nuts.

Thank you for your review of The Salty Dog, Mike. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed every aspect of your visit, from fishing to cooking and exploring the town. We appreciate your feedback on the boat launch as HOA in that area does not allow guest to utilize the boat ramp. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we hope you'll consider visiting us again in the future. Miss Kitty's
