    We loved our stay at Salty Unicorn! The house was clean and had everything we needed. We traveled with our small dog and he loved laying on the deck above the pool. We didn’t like the beach chairs at the house, so just rented on the beach. They will work for tiny people. Lol… The pool at the house was salt water and never crowded. We loved it! The house is not suited for elderly or people that have issues with stairs.

    We had a wonderful stay at The Salty Unicorn. We had 4 adults and 3 children and were comfortable. The house has everything you need. It is close to plenty of restaurants, shopping and activities. A pretty short walk to the beach.

    My grand daughter and my wife and I absolutely loved the Salty Unicorn. Accommodations were impeccable, very clean, beds were comfortable along with a tiled shower in Master. We walked to several restaurants and to the beach! You can park next to the front door, easy unloading. And allowing r pooch to come as well. You cannot go wrong rent this unit. Thank you for sharing your place.

    It is very comfortable and accessible for many fun places. The access to the beach is easy and close. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. My family enjoyed eating at Sunliner, they love getting in the pool and have some fun at the beach. The restaurants near are tasty definitely 5/5. The house provides with everything you need. I definitely recommend this place for anyone. The coupons/free passes are definitely great especially with a big family lol. Next time we come to this place will definitely be our first option.

    Nice two-story beach house with community pool. Located very close to all the shops and restaurants that you want to go to. A 7 to 10 minute walk to the beach. We enjoyed going to beach and relaxing by pool and eating at all the great seafood places near by.
