    Hostess communication was amazing and the house itself is SO thoughtfully done. It is deceiving from the outside too in terms of how spacious and open the living area is into the kitchen. Every decoration has been very well thought through and the kitchen itself was incredibly stocked with any possible tool or cooking implement you could ever need!

    Our family loved our time at Sea Salt Cottage. The listing was just as described, the community was so cute and the beaches were beautiful. Everyone we met on West Island was so nice and accommodating. Our hosts were super communicative and gave us a ton of recommendations about the island and surrounding areas. Our five year old son didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be visiting again!

    Sea Salt Cottage is a Gem!From the moment we arrived, everything felt just right. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the thoughtful layout made it feel spacious, yet cozy. Every room was super comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch - everything we needed was already there, and it was all well-stocked.The yard was fantastic - perfect for relaxing and playing too! We especially loved the deck off the primary bedroom. Really comfortable furniture, plus an overhead fan for a breeze. We loved being just a short walk from the beautiful town beach and scenic trails, and the adorable ice cream shop at the end of the street was a sweet bonus.Our hosts, Steve and Beth, were incredibly attentive, making sure our stay was enjoyable. The whole experience was so peaceful - we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

    Check in was easy. Host sent the key code on the day of arrival with information and helpful hints for the area. Kitchen is stocked for ANYTHING you may want to prepare from cookout to lobsters to baking. The home design takes everything into consideration- and it is all immaculate and aesthetically enjoyable. Beds are comfortable, linens are high quality (we really appreciated not having to pack beach supplies ( towels, chairs etc) also LOVED that there were plenty of great beach bikes! We rode every day. There was Nothing lacking. I have been in many homes on the island and this one is exceptional.

    West Island is unique, sweet, quiet spot. Perfect to relax, spend time with family and enjoy outdoor activities. Beaches all near by and we found wonderful tennis/pickle courts at the beach at State Park Fort Phoenix just a 15 minute drive. Beth is as super helpful with any questions about the area and the house. The house had everything you could think of in the kitchen. We loved the fire pit for s’mores. Overall, just what we were looking for.

    My family of four adults had a wonderful weekend. This home is beautifully decorated and very comfortable with many amenities. We especially loved the landscaping and the backyard fire pit area. We rode the bikes around the island, took walks, played corn hole and thoroughly enjoyed being together. Thank you for making your home available for us to enjoy.

    My wife and I have just spent three special days at this beautiful property as part of our New England road trip. The cottage is stunning, situated in a quiet tree lined road on a small island connected to the mainland by a causeway. On arriving at the island it is almost like stepping back in time, everybody is so polite and friendly and the only sounds to be heard are the sound of the ocean and birdsong. The cottage itself is beautifully furnished, so comfortable, with modern appliances and sea themed art and ornaments. The bed is very comfortable, and the living room so very welcoming and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and modern. We both loved the cottage and would be hard pressed to find a single fault. Bicycles are provided for use on the island, and the cottage is no more than 400 metres from the sea in any direction, with beautiful beaches and good walks. Our dealings with Beth were prefect, .Beth responded quickly to our contact and was very helpful in messaging with little tips for things to do, and checking in that we were ok, the very best of hosts. We will always remember our time at Sea Salt Cottage and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you Beth. Thank you Sea Salt Cottage and West Island.

    Sea Salt Cottage is beautifully designed and decorated, and has everything you need for a relaxing getaway: beach, porch sitting area, firepit, outdoor shower, bright and spacious kitchen, quiet neighborhood, ice cream shop and restaurant within walking distance, and more. This was our fifth stay here, and we will be back!

    We were so thrilled with Beth and her home. We were looking for a bit more space for our little family, and this place was perfect. The island is great and a nice secluded little community. We hope to return next year.

    This was our family of 4 first experience with a VRBO and it was amazing. The Sea Salt Cottage had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We loved riding the bikes through out the island and the other amenities the cottage offered. Beth, the owner, was so easy to communicate with and offered so much information for activities to do in the area. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying here.

    The house was beautifully decorated without being precious. There were many places both inside and outside to relax. The three bedrooms are off the kitchen and the feeling of the rest of the house is open and bright. In the shed there were several bikes from which to choose. We hadn't been to West Island before; it's pretty sleepy...one ice cream place .1 mile away:) We mostly just hung around reading and eating ice cream every night and that worked for us! The island is very easy to figure out as it's an alphabetical grid. It seems like it would be a great place to bring kids because they could ride their bikes around without much worry.

    Every five star review for this home and the people who own it is well deserved. This is the only home I’ve ever rented where the reality was better than the description. It truly is a special place where every detail is considered. The owners are thoughtful, friendly and go above and beyond in every way imaginable. The home is comfortable, warm and inviting and an oasis away from everything, while being close enough to everything a person could want or need. I feel so fortunate to have found this special place and will definitely return.
