Fabulous
This is the best VRBO we have stayed at. The place is gorgeous inside and out. The host was friendly and helpful. She went above and beyond our expectations and brought us an amazing charcuterie board to enjoy. They were very respectful of privacy. I would highly recommend staying here. I hope to come back again for our next girls weekend. very respectful of privacy

Fantastic getaway!
We absolutely loved this place! Amazing views and a beautiful home with extremely thoughtful touches that helped make it extra special!
It was exactly what we were looking for our little family getaway away from the mainland.
Monica was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. She has provided a binder with all sorts of helpful information about things to do on the island.
The interior is a blend of modern comforts with cozy, rustic charm. The living space and bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, with large windows that let in plenty of natural light.
The well-equipped kitchen was a dream for preparing meals together. The garden was amazing as well.
The Sweet Salal Guest House exceeded our expectations in every way. It was the perfect place to relax and recharge, and we can't wait to return. Thank you!
