Salty Harbor AMI

This little cottage and backyard pool were perfect for the two of us. The location is only a 10 minute walk to the beach, and yet can be enjoyed by the pool as well. It’s located in a pleasant, quite neighborhood, with plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby.

Cute duplex with great pool

Great stay at salty harbor for our spring break vacay. Mario was very responsive. Beds were super comfortable and it was the perfect size for 4 people. Short walk to the trolley stop and beach access. Nice to have chairs and umbrellas available for the beach as we flew. 2 bikes were fun to ride around in the evenings. We will be back

Salty Harbor AMI was GREAT!

My husband and I stayed here for two weeks. Everything was as advertised. The place and especially the back yard were beautiful! We needed to contact the host the first day to get the code to the thermostat to turn on the heat (yes it was that cold for a few days). Mario answered quickly and was very helpful!

Everything you need, great central location

We had a great stay at Salty Harbor! The property had everything we needed and more, and you could tell Mario thought of extras to make the stay special. The property is in a great central location on the island and communication with Mario was great when we needed anything. We fell in love with AMI and will be back!

Great Vacation

Very nice property,updated inside, nice size pool, great location, and outstanding communication with the owner. Only concern, A/C, and bath tub handle hard to work. However the owner, was very active toward resolving the AC and no doubt will address the bath handle. I would have no reservations toward booking thid house again.

Need to update AC

The house was perfect in every way except for the AC units limitations. The lowest the AC Unity can go was 71 degrees so when it’s nearly 110 degrees outside with humidity the AC is struggling to keep up. There were many days when we walked into the house from the beach and it was 74 degrees inside. That’s not very refreshing.

Perfect week with our kids!

We had an amazing time! The backyard pool and hang area was a highlight- we began and ended our day playing in the pool with our kids (6 and 9). My husband and the kids played with the old school Nintendo game all week. You don’t need to purchase anything for the beach- there’s a wagon, umbrella, cooler, chairs, plenty of toys and boogie boards too! Kitchen was well stocked with everything for home cooked meals. My favorite memory was our night-in cooking and eating dinner together and swimming in the pool with the kids, listening to music with the portable sound system provided. The beach within walking distance was our favorite hang spot. Not too crowded and calm waters. We found and held a seahorse the first day!! We rented a golf cart for the week to cruise around and explore shops and restaurants. There are cars on the road too- but everyone is respectful. We will be back for sure! Have already spread the word about this gem. Thank you for being such great hosts!!

It’s Perfect!

Our family of four loved our stay at Mario’s property! It’s exactly as the photos show, if not better. The thoughtfulness of the items at the property make it perfect for those staying from out of town. It was clean, comfortable, quiet and just perfect. Walking distance to the beach, close to restaurants and grocery store. It truly was fantastic and we will definitely stay here again. Thank you, Mario!!

Great stay at Salty Harbor

Everything was as pictured. The owner was always quick to respond to any questions that arose. Though it was a duplex, our rental seemed very private. Beautiful back yard with pool. Lots of extras the host supplied which was fabulous. Sad to leave😞

Lovely little mini-resort!

Such a nice property! Spacious, well-appointed and super clean. The hosts provided everything we needed and more. Lots of nice linens, cooking supplies, comfortable beds and bath amenities. And the little backyard is like a resort, with mini golf, cornhole, a cute pool that has a waterfall, basketball hoop, built-in table(!), and fun lighting at night. We also enjoyed the front porch for our morning coffee. The unit is a duplex, but felt completely private and we didn't hear or see the people on the other side. Nice neighborhood, close to Publix, and an easy walk to the beach for amazing sunsets every evening. Thank you, Mario, for a lovely getaway and great, prompt communication.

Great little getaway!

We had a great time here! The property was perfect for our small family. Everything was clean and well maintained. We spent a lot of time in the pool which is just as awesome as it looks. They also provided beach essentials for our use which was so nice! It’s not too far from anything and we really enjoyed taking a rented golf cart around the island from this central location. Definitely recommend this little getaway spot!
