Great weekGreat houseOwners super responsive and kind

We loved our stay at Salty Mae! My family of 7 went for a week for our mom's birthday. The location is great - short walking distance to many restaurants, shops and the beach. The hosts are wonderful and very responsive. They have provided just about everything you could need: beach chairs, umbrella, beach tags, bikes and plenty of laundry detergent and dryer sheets. We really enjoyed the covered front porch, it was ideal for sitting outside most anytime of day. The house has a lot of special touches and is really nicely decorated.Very homey! Like the other reviewer points out, the floors are completely separate but this was fine for our group. The pillows are a bit firm as previously stated as well. I would recommend bringing a pillow if this is an issue for you. Otherwise, everything was top notch and we would definitely stay here again!

It's important to recognize, as stated in the description, that this is a duplex with 2 separate units in one house. For the upstairs unit, you use a side entrance outside; there is no internal continuity between them. That was fine for our needs, though for some it may have an impact on the sense of "togetherness". It is a very nice place, recently updated, close to all the lovely old architecture, and 4 blocks from the beach. We only used our car a couple times, but walked to the beach and several great restaurants. We never had to park (street parking only) farther away than next door. A beach cart, umbrella, chairs and passes are provided, though beach towels are not, so bring those. The downstairs unit is bigger, and there is a nice front porch, so you can rely on the downstairs for accommodating your whole crowd for meals and entertainment, though the upstairs also has a small kitchen, living area, and even a small office space. My only complaint is the pillows on the beds, which are super firm. I'm a bit picky about my soft down pillow at home, but I don't think any of my family could actually sleep with our heads on them. I would gladly stay here again, just with my own pillow.
