The property is a dream - a whimsy Bahaman escape! It was perfect for our mixed group of family and friends, 7 adults and 2 kids. After a long day at the beach we would return to Saltbox to rinse in the outdoor shower and then enjoy the rest of the day in the pool where the loungers are shaded. We went lobster spearing and used the “grill” to cook our catch and set a beautiful table with the linens and tableware provided. The outdoor dining area at Saltbox is so fabulous, that we cancelled our reservation at Da Vine the following night and picked up sushi to enjoy at the property. Sophia was easy to communicate with and the caretakers of the property, Brianna and Dolce, were very attentive and kind. Dolce even stopped by before church on Sunday (his day off) to check the generator and WiFi because the power went off Saturday night. There were a few pleasant surprises on property that I didn’t see in the description - a hammock, a swing, and a gazebo. The only negative for us was the upstairs bedroom does not have a door, so there is less privacy and it is warmer than the other rooms. It wouldn’t be a deal breaker for staying at Saltbox again, but we would rethink room assignments. We will definitely be back to stay at Saltbox and see our new friend, Bootsy Callico (the cat - named by my children).

It was lovely… although house keeping really wasn’t there to make beds and or wash and or replace any towels. We went to the beach almost everyday and we had dirty towels and would have loved them to have been washed at least once during our stay. We really had zero communication with the house keeper.

Family Time at The Salt Box

The Salt Box looked like it was straight out of a magazine. The house and cottage were beautifully decorated and the property itself was just beautiful as it was landscaped with tropical plants that are taken care of by a local gardener. There were plenty of spaces for the 8 of us to all gather together and the pool was the perfect size and very refreshing. The location of the house is central to everything on the island and the suggestions in the guest directory were great. We rented two golf carts, ate at many of the suggested restaurants, went fishing and snorkeling with one of the suggested guides. Overall, it was an amazing trip.

Amazing Perfection!

Travel group included myself and Husband, both of our daughters ages 21 and 33 plus son-in-law and granddaughter not quite two years old. The property is just as it is described. We did rent a golf cart and we loved Mrs.. V’s for beach access, chairs/umbrella and great food and drink. Rental of crib was great. Our granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed running around the spacious property and chasing the roosters! Both dolce and Brianna were lovely and very sweet. We loved having a main house and guest house because it did give us some separation for those early mornings with a toddler.. the outdoor spaces are all spectacular!! we just cannot say enough good things about our experience!

This is a great place to stay if you have a big party, the rooms are spaced out nicely. While the indoor living space is small, the outdoor living area and pool area make up for it! We had the best time and plan to visit again soon.

This place is heaven! It’s exactly as pictured and better. It was was cozy but had plenty of space for our group of 7 - the outdoor seating areas are all beautiful! And the pool! So warm and relaxing. The host was also very responsive - when a circuit tripped, they were there within 10 minutes. I can’t recommend this property highly enough.

Harbour Island Trip Jan 2025

We truly enjoyed our stay at Salt Box. It’s a very charming Bahamian style property and very well kept. Once we walked through the house, we were amazed by the size of backyard/pool area and pool house which has 2 very nice bedrooms and a large bath. We ate most meals out but did have an incredible evening of grilled lobsters over the open fire on the parrilla. Great place for a family vacation.

Best stay in Harbour Island!

Wow this property is such a gem! The outdoor space was even bigger than I imagined, our group of 5 couples had the best time utilizing the big heated pool, lots of nice lounging areas, and perfect set up for grilling and outdoor dining. The main house and cottage were beautifully decorated and included all we needed. The hosts and Brianna and Dolce were welcoming and always quick to respond. They even helped accommodate us last minute when we had a flight cancellation. Overall great experience - I hope to go back to Saltbox again, and would highly recommend to anyone.
