Our stay at Saltwater Charlie's was perfect! The quiet and solitude made for the most relaxing beach house vacation; between star-watching on the dock, drinks by the pool, board games in the evenings, and walks on the beach we really made the most of the everything the house had to offer. Would be a great stay for families or some couples. Make sure to look for the Milky Way at night from the dock!
Property location and grounds were beautiful, quiet and peaceful. The layout of the house was great for our family of 4. The kitchen had everything you needed for cooking. The screened in porch is a great feature and the space under the house is excellent. The dock was another bonus and had access to the bay for kayaking and paddle boarding. Would stay here again.
The property and house were very clean and comfortable. It’s so quiet and peaceful. The pool was perfect for our kids to play in and the screen added the much needed protection from the bugs. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. The beach is not far at all and easy to access.

We have rented for several years and different properties from Jammie and forgotten shores. Always a pleasure dealing with them. Properties have been as described.
Everything was well maintained and clean. If you're planning on staying in April the pool will be a bit colder. The dock was great, view was beautiful, but if you plan on being outside in the evening bring bug spray! Overall experience was wonderful!

We loved this home, and the peaceful, private location. We spent lots of time with our kids in the pool, enjoyed coffee on the screened-in deck each morning, walked to the beach, and launched our kayaks off of the dock. We were also happy to have both the weight room and large, clubhouse pool available. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the house was clean. Loved everything about our stay!
We have rented a house on SGI twice a year for almost twenty years. This is my favorite so far. Comfortable beds, great showers, beautiful views, really lovely home. Well appointed kitchen. We enjoyed having a private dock. The water is pretty shallow, but perfect for putting in kayaks. Great bird watching

Hubby and I had a great stay at Saltwater Charlie’s. It was super private with amazing sunsets. We took several bike rides, fished in the cut and ate some awesome local restaurants. We stayed in the king bed on the lower level because the main suite upstairs was difficult to cool. The king bed on the lower level was perfectly comfortable. Everything was clean and comfortable and the pool was also amazing. We would return to this unit.

Our family has been staying at different homes throughout the Plantation for many years and we can say that SWC is one of our favorites on the bay. We loved the screened front porch for afternoon napping and the kitchen was perfectly organized and well-stocked. Everything was immaculate and all the beds were very comfy. We also loved the feeling of privacy amidst all the surrounding trees and foliage - but still had an amazing view of the bay and the beautiful sunsets. Also, a shout-out to the staff at Forgotten Shores who were on the ball when we had an internet problem - they were very kind and considerate overall. We hope to be back to visit SWC soon!

We have stayed in a few rentals on SGI but this was our first time at Saltwater Charlie's. It did not disappoint! The home is located off the main road in the plantation and has beautiful water views. Very spacious and comfortably furnished with plenty of indoor and outdoor spots for relaxing and dining. Don't miss watching the sunset on the dock! We enjoyed watching the fish jump and hearing the bird call to each other. We look forward to another stay here!

This is a great house! Spotlessly clean, well maintained and very private. Pool was fabulous.....really enjoyed the screened bugs! Management company was very responsive as usual. Only suggestion would be to add additional air conditioning in the upstairs master bedroom....little too warm for comfortable sleeping during a couple of the warmer nights. Otherwise a wonderful week...highly recommend!

We loved this home. Spacious, great furniture, comfortable beds, excellent grounds, quiet and private. We brought our boat and kept at the dock. It's a bit shallow at low tide but we managed to get in and out of the canal ok. The dock had electricity and water, which is always a huge plus. Forgotten Shores is a top notch Company!

The sunset and moonset views were gorgeous! My husband got photographs of many varieties of wildlife along the canal. We very quickly felt very much at home and are looking forward to staying again next year!Also, cannot stress enough about the terrific property management team. They are so helpful and friendly and provide great service. We always feel like part of the family!

The home was in a great location. Trees provided a great amount of privacy, screened in pool was nice,private dock to launch kayaks into the channel and bay if desired, perfect location for great sunset views from the dock or master bedroom deck. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware, dishes,Tupperware etc. Underneath the house was great for storage and setting up games. There were at least 3 different outdoor eating areas. Bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice. The master is huge! Only 2 miles from sikes cut and close to numerous beach access sites. Had a small problem with some kind of winged bugs in one bedroom one night but we got them all out and it was fine after that. The pool had an attached hot tub which didn't work as far as we could tell but it didn't advertise having one so no harm there. Everything was beautiful and clean. Rental property staff were super helpful in advance of trip and sent tons of info. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!
