Perfect Get away for a couple

We were delighted with the location, the decor and functionality of Salty Dog on the Rocks! We also enjoyed the pool, the grill and the front porch immensely. Best of all, Matt - the owner - was readily available to answer any questions. We will definitely come back and bring the rest of the family to rent the whole house!

My stay at Salty Dog and Salty Dog Straight Up

We enjoyed each day in the pool and on the beach. My sister had a place on Mexico Beach, but she came to my location daily because it wasn't too crowded. We had an excellent time. The kids enjoyed the kayaks and crabbing. Dinner at Indian Pass Raw Bar was so good. We will be back next year.

Peaceful

The stay was 6 nights and we all wanted to stay longer. The unit we stayed in was clean and spacious for all 6 of us. The pool is perfect and tucked in nicely with privacy when you don’t want to be at the beach. The absolute best parts is sitting on the screened in porch at night listening to the waves and chatting with the family. I would recommend to anyone with a family that wants to unwind from the daily hustle and bustle.

Great Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Salty Dog on the Rocks! The property is great, wonderful screened in porch, right across from the beach, in the cutest and quietest neighborhood. Like a previous reviewer, we found the King size bed to be too soft, but we just folded out the Murphy in the living room and used that, worked out just fine. The kitchen is nicely equipped. We like to cook and they had everything we needed. Other than the bed just not being to my taste, the only complaint I have is that I couldn't figure out how to get the clothes washing machine on cold water, but maybe that was user error. Matt was around & available for suggestions or any issues and was a great host. Overall, such a great vacation! We will be coming back!
