Great place to stay.

Communication was great during booking and checkin. Good location close to town and the beach. We had access a pool across the street which was nice after a long day at the beach. We would stay here again.

4th of July Beach Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the Saltwater Hippie. It was clean and comfortable and would love to go back. An extra perk was front row seats to the 4th of July fireworks.

Walking distance to everything

We loved our stay here! Walking distance to town and close to beach. I will say, the parking was tight. We had a small suv and two cars that barely fit. Also, the check in information was sent 30 minutes after 4pm. Other than that, it was great! The bathrooms were amazing and we loved having the balcony and back yard.

My family and I and joyed our stay at the Oasis. The property is well maintained and clean. The property has many of the needs you need as if you were at home like washer, dryer, and dishwashing machines. This is a place I would recommend to all who have a large family due to the amount of abundant of space of the house. We loved that everything was at walking distance or close by. We have nothing but good things to say about the spot and the excellent customer service when I did call for information. Hope to stay here again on our next vacation down at Port A.
