Three generations staying at Salty Dog

Great central location for day trips to Amelia Island, Cumberland Island and Okefenokee Swamp. Older house but comfortable for a three generation family, with lots of entertainment for the teens while at the Salty Dog.

Good Dog

Stayed at the Salty Dog for a long weekend with family; 5 adults and 2 brand new infants. The house was spacious, comfortable, and felt homey. It has the look of a well-used vacation space; the knick-knacks, the wear on the cupboards, and the mismatched collection of cups and glasses reminds me of my own family cottage in Michigan. Zero issues getting in, getting settled, using all of the amenities, and enjoying the weekend. Thanks for being a great host Robby!

Disappointing

This property leaves a lot to be desired with upkeep and cleanliness. I don’t even know where to begin!!! The pictures of the property are deceiving. If we had not spent a small fortune already to book this place, we would have found something else and taken the loss! I have stayed at other pet friendly properties where you would never have known there was a pet on the property. This place smelled terribly of dog and dog hair was visible in all rooms. I had to wash bedding before we could even go to bed that evening after driving 11 hours. Not to mention, the beds only had a regular sheet with just a regular blanket thrown over it, No top sheet or comforter or quilt. I spent Sunday cleaning baseboards as the dog hair and dust was thick and creating issues with allergies for several in the group. I spent money to get cleaning supplies and air purifiers. Mouse turds were in utensil drawers and we were finding roaches as well. Even after cleaning, we were still finding dog hair in our food and clothing. The hot tub was not clean even though it had been turned on prior to our arrival, by Friday we could finally see to the bottom of it. The furniture was stained, pretty worn, and smelled of dog as well. We purchased throws to put over the furniture to help with that issue. I’ll just say that we were happy to be leaving and will never stay at this property again!!!

You won’t need to bring anything!!

We had a great week long stay. The owners basically have thought of everything! We chose this rental because we knew we would be staying around the house a lot due to the weather and they offered so much to do. Here are positives and negatives of our stay which we always offer up: Positives: So many extras! The hot-tub, pool table, foos-ball, board games, an AMAZING Pit Boss grill / smoker, the list goes on and on!!! The owner was very receptive when we reached out with a couple things we needed. They immediately responded and were very gracious! The rental was very clean! Tons of extra linens, sheets, blankets, pillows, etc… Negatives: The water- we know the water in that area smells bad but this was extra bad, not sure if a better filtration system would help, but super bad. Hot tub was almost unbearable. The backyard was fenced in and one of the main reasons we rented the unit as we had a dog, unfortunately, it’s overgrown with vegetation and lots of things a dog can get into such as stuff from a shed etc…so we had to leave ours on a chain. If you have a dog that you aren’t worried will get into that kind of stuff it won’t be an issue and the huge fenced backyard is perfect otherwise. The house is a little beat up inside but nothing that really bothered us too much. Overall.. if it wasn’t for the water smell, we would for sure be back!

Family Vacation

Our vacation was originally in Fort Myers. Due to hurricane Ian we were unable to visit. We contacted this property 3 days prior to our visit the response was very punctual. Robert made sure all our needs were taken care of. Great location, less than 10 minutes to the beach, and all the amenities were amazing. The property is beautiful and spacious. The game room is perfect for the family. If staying in this area I would highly recommend this location. We will be back

Family Stay for Wedding

From the start with no extra charges, to allowing us to checking early do me working from "home," Robert was an amazing host! They thought of everything you could possibly need, including phone chargers in the family room and Master Bedroom. The kitchen was well stocked and all the amazing little touches with towels in the hot tub area and many more that I can't even list them all. We love to travel, but this place has been our favorite so far. You will not be disappointed with your stay here.

Mini vacation

We had a great time here for a family weekend. The home was clean and comfortable with activities for all ages. It rained so we spent most of time in the house playing in the game room. Nice neighborhood and great location for shopping and dining. Short drive to the beach.

Fantastic spot to stay in, will try to book this house again. Robert communicated with me prior to, during and after the stay to make sure our time at his property was perfect, and it was. Fenced in back yard really helped with our two pups, plenty of room for them to run and play. Look forward to renting this property again.
