Our stay at The Salty Dog was fantastic. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. Whether hanging out around the pool or fishing off the dock, our family had a great time. The house is located in a safe, quiet and friendly neighborhood close to beaches and restaurants. There is so much to do nearby, that is if you want to leave the house. Heather is an awesome host. She was very responsive and always made sure we had everything we needed. Wish we could have stayed longer. I highly recommend staying at The Salty Dog!

We had a wonderful stay at The Salty Dog. We've been down to Bradenton for IMG's soccer tournaments for 4 years now and this was our favorite rental. The house had a great open layout, more than enough room for our family of 4. The home had everything we needed: newer fridge, microwave, and washer/dryer. We loved the location, pretty much in the middle from Anna Maria Island and IMG. The communication with the host was easy and the check-in/out process was clearly detailed. We would definitely stay at The Salty Dog again!

This place is AMAZING!! The house is so nice!! My husband and our 2 boys stayed for Thanksgiving week. We were able to bring our boat and dock it right at the house so we were able to use it everyday, just a 10 minute boat ride out of the canals to crystal clear water! We caught trout, snapper, pompano, and snook! The pool and house were really nice and clean. Kitchen was fabulous to cook Thanksgiving dinner in! The beds and bedding are very comfortable.

We can’t say enough about our stay! Close to everything we could need or want! We enjoyed lunch and dinner out, grabbed Boba on our way to do some shopping, had a great run at Robinson preserve and popped over to the beach in a matter of minutes! The house is clean and very comfortable, we had everything we needed to cook and bake a birthday cake for our daughter. Our kids loved fishing off the dock and swimming in the pool. We will definitely be back!

The Salty Dog was perfect for our 4 teenage boys and 2 dogs. We could easily bike to the beach and several restaurants. The house was well equipped with all the amenities needed to fix meals at home. A great time was had by all.
