`Salt of the Sea` - beachfront and pet friendly!

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Everything was as described and we appreciated the extra touches like toiletries, snacks, etc. This is an amazing place and you'll fall in love with the island.

Beautiful beach, lovely house who could ask for more? This area is unique for sure. You do have to weigh the sacrifices of convenience for the solitude and beauty of a practically PRIVATE beach. Easy choice for us. The house was perfect for what we needed. One piece of advice…bring a really good bug spray. The gnats and mosquitoes are no joke at sunset.

Rat Infested, construction, Public access point, ZERO customer serviceDay 1Large Rat on the screened in deck, we had to make barricades and get it out. Day 2Awakened 7:30am to loud pounding, house next door(less than 20 feet away was having construction done. I contacted Tasha-property mgr- told her about the rat and the construction-indicating it would have been nice to have a heads up that construction was going on prior to our arrival. She did Not reply, texted her again around 5:30pm-construction was still going on. She finally replied, the island has a rat problem and she has no control over what neighbors do on their property. Construction continued to 7:30 pm!Day 3Went on deck and see a gulf cart parked in what I thought was our driveway and people camped out in front of our rental;, loud music, fishing rods all the way across our rentals beach area. I called Tasha and even sent a picture. Surprise, surprise no answer till hours later. Texted she couldn't talk because she was driving, but sent a mark up of the picture and said this property is a public access point; people can be wherever they want.This property is a PUBLIC ACCESS POINT, people will pile up their gulf carts all around the property and pile up on the beach all in front of the houseDay 4Time to go home...HallelujahThis property manager is beyond terrible and deserves negative stars. The little communication she does provide is telling you you're wrong or fix your own problem.

Great communication and excellent instructions for the contents and directions to get to the house. (Water taxi, concierge , shopping and what is available on the island) We can't wait to come back.

We had a wonderful time here. Definitely worth it.

Loved the location, perfect space, very quaint, quiet, clean and comfortable! I will be back soon!

Wish we could’ve stayed longer! Bed slept great and the shower was amazing. Loved all that was provided by host in the kitchen and bath. Perfect get a way! We will be back!

This was the perfect little getaway. The house is right on the beach and the dock is a short walk away. Dog friendly island and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Easy access to Boca Grande and fishing and beautiful sunsets. We will definitely be back.

The house and stay exceeded our expectations. Tasha gives truly a 5 star treatment. From the moment you walk into the beautiful decorated house, you feel in another world. The house is stocked with everything you need and more. The bed is extremely comfortable, the shower was amazing after a beach day. There is even a gift and a personalized message for you as you come in. We highly recommend this house and we can’t wait to come back.

My wife and I and our two chocolate labs stayed 3 nights May 3 to 6. This charming house is in splendid shape. It made us feel like it was our own vacation home. We would not change one thing. The beach is gorgeous with almost no crowds. This time of the year the turquoise sea temperature is perfect. We saw turtles, dolphins, tarpons and a manatee that we were able to pet on the sandbank, about 50 yards from the beach. We had Long Beach walks to both ends of the island, about a two to three hour walk roundtrip both ways with almost no one on sight. Tasha, the manager is always available to answer any issues that may arise. The house has a cart to carry your stuff from the marina, about 100 yards distance.
