We had a great stay only wished outside shower was more functional with the shower head and the dryer is struggling to dry a few items however place was stocked well excellent kitchen equipment too!
Our stay was wonderful and the house is even better than pictured! The porches and ocean views make this a great place for family to gather.
Communication was excellent and timely. Thanks so much!
My group had so much fun, the place was clean and the kitchen was so well stocked! I had daily communication from the owner making sure everything was all right. Such a tiny walk to the beach!
Really great location. Lots of stuff for the kids which made traveling less cramped. Kitchen well stocked with cooking options.
Everyone enjoyed themselves. Bed were comfortable. We did have an issue with A/C but management was out immediately to get issue resolved. Very good communication and happy to work with Salt and Sand again.
We enjoyed our week at Sweet Em’s. This home comfortably fit Our family of 8 adults and several littles under 5. It was well equipped with about everything you might want for a beach vacation. We had a few issues that required a call to maintenance but they promptly answered and attended to our concerns. Short walk to beach was a plus and outdoor shower welcomed. Very appreciative of the welcome items including a bottle of wine. Each room is tastefully decorated to help you enjoy a beach vacation! Would stay here again.
The house was a nice house. It wasn’t very clean. We cleaned as much as we could. The door that goes outside in the master needs repaired. One of the drawers in the kitchen was barely hanging. We cleaned the stairway railing. The filter on the AC unit is filthy. Handprints hadn’t been cleaned on the doors. The mirrors were dirty.
