I would give this property 4 1/2 stars if I could. The only reason we’re not giving a 5 star overall review is because we had toilet flushing issues the whole week. Since we quickly figured out how to temporarily fix the issue we did not contact the owner, however we did mention this on our departure. The house was very comfortable for 4 adults and the location was amazing. We watched wild birds while sitting outside enjoying the great weather. I definitely recommend this house if you’re looking for comfortable and quiet accommodations just a 5 minute walk from the beach.

Great house close to the beach

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The house had everything we needed and was the right size for our family of 4. The marsh provides beautiful views and the beach is super convenient and not too crowded. The owner was helpful and quick to respond.

Wonderful in Wells Beach

We had a lovely stay at the Saltbox Cottage! The cottage was clean, well equipped, and had a great outdoor space. Mark and Kim were lovely hosts with prompt and friendly communication. It was a very easy/short walk to the beach via private access. We can't wait to come back!

On the marsh

The property is lovely and bright. The beds were comfortable. The back door opens onto a patio overlooking a marsh and from the front door you can walk to a gorgeous beach in five minutes. Our only complaint was that very little was provided. No sheets. No towels. No soap in the shower. We couldn't carry all that from Santa Fe so we had to scrounge from friends. There were no beach chairs but our hosts realized we couldn't have brought any and dropped some off on the second or third day. Much appreciated. As long as you're able to bring everything you need with you you'll love this place. The ad says you can kayak from the backyard but no kayak is provided and there's a grass slope between the house and the water plus you have to be very aware of the tides or you can't get back! We didn't attempt it.

Great house and great locations.

My family and I had a great vacation. The location was beautiful and less than a hundred yards to a private access way to the beach. We had beautiful sunsets at this property and Mark the owner was great. We will definitely rent again. Barbara

Great location and very clean

We had a great stay at the cottage. It was very clean upon arrival. The cottage is also well appointed and had everything that was mentioned in the listing. It is a very short walk to the beach and the sunset views in the evening are spectacular. The cottage is located on a very quiet side street, but still close to all of the local attractions. You can't go wrong staying here.
