We stay at a lot of short term vacation rentals, and this home is by far our most favorite. It had everything we needed, and much more! There is plenty of room for everyone to spread out, the views are beautiful, beds comfortable, technology, kitchen supplies, etc.

Salty Dog!

The Salty Dog is over the top nice. We enjoyed every part of our visit. We fished every day, cooked, went to town for fun and dinner. The only downside was not being able to use the neighborhood boat launch. Having to go across the bay to a public ramp is nuts.
