Stay Salty- Directly bay front w/private fishing pier, close to beach access.

If you are looking for the perfect place to relax by the bay, look no further than 'Stay Salty'! This beautiful two story bay-front home has 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and large balconies on both levels overlooking Bon Secour Bay and is situated near the Bon Secour National Wildlife Preserve. With two master bedrooms (one on each floor), and two of the upstairs bedrooms opening to the upper balcony, there is room for everyone to feel pampered. The large, open floor plan connecting to the lower balcony and yard with live oaks is the perfect place for your family to relax and enjoy the picturesque setting of the bay. Bring your boat and tie up at the covered dock or sit on the built-in bench and watch the sun set. If inshore fishing sounds like fun, you can ask your guide to pick you up right on your dock. If beach time is on the agenda, Veterans Street beach is just across the main road; the best of both worlds! Rents Saturday to Saturday during main seasons unless the calendar is already broken up or the requested time is approved by the homeowner.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Limited housekeeping is available.

Enjoyed our stay, but with some caveats.

Location on the bay and covered dock was great. Overall, space was not an issue. Cleanliness was an issue. Floors were dirty as were two chairs that were very much in need of replacement. We made the best of it, and probably would return with some assurance that the location had been cleaned thouroghly before my arrival. Once I'm there, I don't want to wait for a cleaning crew to show up and clean while I've already started my vacation.

My family met at Fort Morgan for a long weekend. We stayed at Stay Salty and had a wonderful time. The house had plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 children. We all loved the pier and the beach was a 15 min walk.

Week stay

This is the second time we have stayed in the stay salty. This year the place was not clean. There was a ton of hair all over, bathrooms were not clean and neither were the floors. We had to clean after we arrived. The upstairs air conditioner was broken when we arrived and the person came out to fix it and then came back on Easter. That was great and very prompt. It was not needed that he return on Easter, but he did and it was very appreciated.

Lovely home, lots of room, great porch and water access. Boat parking took some work due to lots of sand in yard, but it was ok. Loved the ice maker and extra sink in the island!

Quiet home on the bay with excellent pier!

We were able to check in early (thanks Reed Real Estate!) and loved our peaceful spot on the bay. Family members fished and kayaked all week long. Kitchen was stocked well and there was even a separate ice maker, which we loved. Place was VERY well maintained and cared for. It was hard to believe this is a rental! Only drawback was there was no king bed. But, overall we would totally stay here again!

Beautiful house with awesome dock

House was great for our needs. Appliances were in great condition. Even had decent cookware compared to other VRBOs I have been in. The only improvement I would ask for is a gas grill because the charcoal one there was rusted out.

Quiet stay just outside town

In a residential area, right on the Bay made for easy fishing and swimming. Beach access just over the main road was decent though had little parking, but made for non crowded beach days.

Great visit!

We had a great time at Stay Salty. The house was in a good location. It was clean and had the basic things you’d need for a nice stay. The beds were comfortable. The dock was awesome and had fabulous views of the sunset. The entryway stairs are a little hard for older folks. One grandparent fell twice on them because the stairs curve and are narrow on one side of the curve. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay and would recommend!

Ok place to stay in the area

OK house which is well stocked with kitchenware. The dock facilities are amazing and would be perfect for someone who wanted to dock their fishing boat. We were a group of golfers so only used the dock for lounging. Beds were ok, not the comfiest, but ok. The booking process was a little cumbersome and excessive but communication was good. Check in was ok even after hours. I wish I could have received the code via text or something instead of having to go to the real estate office. We wished there was a BBQ Grill that was usable. All in all, ok for the price.

Perfect fishing spot

We loved this house! We came a little late due to the hurricane but it was a great time when we got there! The dock is everything a fisherman could want and they were biting well too! The house was very nice and it accommodated us very well! We can’t wait to come back!

Perfectly Salty :)

We had an amazing stay! The first two days we couldn't get in the ocean but the house had some fun games, books and the perfect dock/pier for fishing and for the kids to jump from. The house is in the perfect spot to enjoy both the bay and the ocean. Beach access was right down the road. The house was clean and worked wonderful for our family. There is amazing artwork throughout the entire house, painted by one person. It was so fun to walk through and see all of the different paintings!

Dissatisfaction

Extremely disappointed with the lack of cleanliness of the house. We had roaches!!!!! Almost all of the cooking utensils had dried crusty food on them, the blender was dirty with crusty overflow, the ice machine didn't work (was told they would be back Tuesday to fix, never showed or called), no pot holders, all the rooms had huge dust balls, candy wrappers, hangers and roaches behind them (was told "that is a deep clean thing). One of the toilets upstairs wasn't working, but we were able to get it working. Carpet on the stairs stained and dirty, cleaning lady said she keeps putting that on her list. Two of the recliners didn't recline. This was the 1st time all of our family was able to be under one roof... it was a vacation we had all been looking forward to for 6+ months... while we did enjoy our time together, we shouldn't have had to spend most of our first day cleaning and chasing roaches... they did send someone to spray, but that just caused them to come out more. My son-in-law had a friend over, that he had not seen in 17years, a roach ran over his phone on the counter... extremely embarrassing!!! There was a "for sale" sign in the yard, so that could be why the place has been neglected.
