This is a spacious and well maintained property. There are lots of towels, paper products, toiletry items, blankets, comfortable beds and great AC! We loved the “perfect pool” with the 1 foot, 3 foot and 5 foot depths. Great parking in the shade and even a couple of fun swings for everyone to enjoy. Kevin is a very responsive host to any concerns you might have. We have stayed in about a dozen homes in PA and we would love to make a return visit to this one! We absolutely were sold when there was some nice grass and a fence for the pups, too! My favorite thing was to sit on the front porch and enjoy the great breeze. There are so many nice touches with this home that you truly feel welcomed. There’s even a coffee bar stocked with useful items. Great experience and great hosts!

Amazing House and Amazing Hosts

We stayed at Stay Salty last weekend and had the most amazing time. The home was beautiful and clean and had anything and everything you could think of. (There were even cots with extra linens in some of the closets that our littlest family members slept on.) There was no shortage of bath towels and the temperature in the house was always perfect. The AC blows super cold air. The pool was clean and perfect for our family. The owner was super responsive and constantly checked on us to make sure we didn’t have any questions or need anything. They even wished us safe travels on the morning of our arrival. We rented a golf cart from Jackfish and received a 25% off discount for staying in the house. My nephew accidentally left his prescription glasses at the house and the owners mailed them to us. We go to Port A every year and will ALWAYS stay here from now on! Absolute paradise!

Wonderful place to spend your family vacation!

Can’t wait to come back! Everything was great! Location was perfect for our liking, kitchen was well stocked, decor is super cute, plenty of seating for the size of home. Shower water pressure was superb. Been to a few places that have trouble with that. Nothing like a good, refreshing shower after a hot day. Pool area was so nice. We enjoyed that very much, multiple times during our stay! Beds were comfortable as well as the bedding. There was a pleather of extra bedding as well, which was awesome! The owners were very nice and super accommodating. When we arrived we planned to bbq but the pit had been a bit worn due to weather and use. We let them know and they had a new bbq grill there the very next morning. WOW! Had a few wifi hiccups but nothing major that we couldn’t fix on our own, seems to be an issue everywhere these days. My only suggestions would be fixing the ice maker, or possibly getting a new refrigerator, it worked great as far as staying cold, but bottom shelf was lopsided because of a broken rack that the bottom shelves sat in. No big deal for me, it’s to be expected that there would be some wear and tear when you open your home up to so many. All and all hands down one of my most favorite stays I have had in Port Aransas, and we come there every year sometimes multiple times, and have for many years. Stay Salty was amazing and so cozy we felt right at home! Bring your family you won’t regret it! Side note our pup Bruce had a blast on his first family trip!

Keith was an amazing host! He was always available if we ever needed anything and also got us a good deal on a 6 seat cart for our stay- delivered and picked up. His home is so beautiful and cozy our family enjoyed staying there. A huge plus for us was being able to take our fur babies along with us. The fenced yard was perfect for them to run around in and the pool was relaxing. I loved the wooden swings under patio! The Salty Stay home is an A in my book we will definitely be going back! Thank you Keith for everything! May God bless you and your family!

Perfect Vacation Rental

Super clean. Comfortable beds. Walking distance to beach. Hosted Christmas dinner for family as we were visiting from out of town. Amazing kitchen fully stocked with everything you need. Plenty of room for everyone. No stickers in grass which is great if traveling with pets. Great communication with owner. Will definitely book here again next time.

“Stay Salty” was the best time!

House was perfect for our group. Very spacious with a big kitchen, dining, and living room. Trip to the beach was quick and perfect beach area. The pool was nice and love the big shallow ledge for the kids to play. Overall the best time and we will be back for future stays at the “Stay Salty” house!
