We had a wonderful stay at Reel Salty. It was perfect setup for a multiple family stay. The house was clean and everything we needed. We were able to enjoy the kayaks and paddle-boards which were a nice bonus. Having a marina close by with restaurant/bar was very convenient. We would definitely book again.

Absolutely loved our stay here!!! The property was clean and beautifully decorated. Tons of amenities to enjoy!

Island dream vacation!

This property was fantastic, such a great location and community around it! We were able to fish/crab and swim right of the back deck. Cruised up to the bait shop, bar and grill in our golf cart! Kids enjoy the park also! The house was in great condition with plenty of space! Defiantly going to stay here again.

2023 Family Vacation

We had our first full family vacation since 2014 and the house was absolutely fantastic!! The house was clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed, fishing right of the dock of the house was a plus, and the beach was not too far. The beach was clean and not as busy as other beaches. We will definitely visit again!!

Little getaway

Great place to stay for our trip. My crew loves fishing and this location was great. We caught crab and catfish off the deck at the house and all sorts of fish from the pier within the community. Plus the beach is a short trip across the street. There is a marina and restaurant/bar within the community. Everybody loved it!

Host profile image
After many year of renting houses in Sea Isle, we are blessed to be able to own 2 houses in the neighborhood. Reel Salty is our rental, and the other we enjoy with our family and friends. We know you will enjoy Sea Isle just as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Reel Salty is newly renovated. It is pretty much a brand new home. It sits on the canal where renters can enjoy a nice cup of coffee in the morning, or fishing at night.
