I’m hesitant to write reviews typically, but I have to brag on this property and the owners. They were accommodating to our schedule, communicated quickly and professionally, and followed through exactly as promised. They have thought of everything and are fantastic hosts. The house is adorable! The decor is so cute- it felt like home. There are tons of games (indoor and outdoor), and the pool was clean, warm and had lots of fun stuff to do. The property is close to restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. The neighborhood was quiet. Book this place! You won’t regret it.

The pool was enjoyable although it was a little cold and the lights at night didn't all work. The bed in the nautical room for some reason made two of my kids break out with a rash and there was no cutting board in the kitchen. Other than that the house was comfy and Beautiful it fit our family perfectly.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Apr, 2026
Thank you so much for your feedback—we’re really glad to hear the pool was enjoyable although chilly. We did want to mention that there is typically a cutting board on the counter by the lamp, as well as two stored under the counter to the left of the dishwasher. We’ll be sure to double-check that they’re still there and haven’t been removed—thank you for bringing that to our attention. We’re so sorry to hear about your children experiencing a rash—that’s definitely concerning. For reference, we use Tide on all of our linens along with Bounce dryer sheets, but we truly appreciate you letting us know so we can continue to monitor and ensure everything is as comfortable as possible for future guests. Regarding the pool lights, they are on a turn dial located to the left of the doors. They can be a bit particular and require a short pause between each setting for the colors to change properly—we’ll also take a look to make sure everything is functioning as it should. Thank you again for your helpful feedback. We truly appreciate it and would love the opportunity to host you and your family again in the future!

We had a wonderful stay at the Salty Palm and would absolutely give the home and our experience 5 stars. The house was beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and very well suited for our family. The location was great, and we genuinely enjoyed our time there.We did have an oversight on our reservation and inadvertently did not update the guest count to include our two teenage children. We also had family who live nearby visit us with their dog and did not realize we needed to disclose the dog since it was only visiting and did not stay overnight. Once this was brought to our attention, we gladly paid the additional pet fee.There was also an additional cleaning charge discussed because the full guest count and visiting pet had not been disclosed in advance. After we spoke and explained the circumstances, Jennifer was very understanding and accommodating and graciously absorbed that additional cleaning expense.For future guests, I would simply recommend making sure the reservation accurately reflects everyone in your party and disclosing any pets, including visiting pets, ahead of time. This allows the host to properly coordinate the cleaning crew and avoid any misunderstandings regarding cleaning costs.Jennifer was responsive and accommodating, and we appreciated being able to communicate openly and work everything out on a positive note. Most importantly, we had a great family vacation, thoroughly enjoyed the home, and would happily recommend the Salty Palm to others.

Lovely place, great location

I stayed here with some friends for a mom retreat and we had such a nice, relaxing time at the Salty Palm. The rooms were lovely, and you could really tell the owners take a lot of pride in their property and care about their guests. The home is a 5 minute drive to shopping and restaurants, and close to major roads to jump on the highway or drive over to the beach. The yard is huge! This would be a great place to stay if you were traveling with kids.

I’ve visited family in Palm Bay for many years and have stayed in many VRBO properties, all have been worthy of additional stays. This property and the hosts were as close to perfection for our family as we’ve gotten. Excellent communication from reservation to departure. Very clean and well-maintained property inside and out, quiet neighborhood, close to everything, and plenty of parking. Beautiful rooms, well-stocked bathrooms, and extra sofa beds. Family-oriented (our youngest had just turned 2) with the special play areas, tons of family games, a fenced-in yard, a pool, and travel bed and high chair. Days were filled with at-home activities rather than cell phones (for the older kids) and days running to the beaches, although beaches are close for those who prefer them. This home has just become our number one choice when visiting. Many thanks to our hosts for sharing their beautiful home with us!

Wonderful House and Host!

I would HIGHLY recommend The Salty Palm! The pictures don’t do justice the this beautiful and fully equipped house. Very clean and just what we wanted as a family, especially with littles. The back yard is fantastic for the kids to play, we brought bikes and a little fold out pool, but we also enjoyed the fire pit, connect four, and the corn hole boards! Not only equipped with all the appliances you may need but games too, from cards/games to kid/baby toys, fun for all ages! Hosts were very responsive, checked in often to see if we had everything we needed and worked with us when we decided to extend our stay at this wonderful home! We will definitely be returning in the future!
