Other reviews complained about the walkway and the distance to the beach. We found that it was perfect! The pool was great for the kids and adults alike! There are plenty of beach toys, towels, and beach chairs. There are even beach canopies! They leave a wonderful package of goodies for you. It was a perfect place for our large group!

The Salty Pickle was perfect for our large, multigenerational family. There are many places for group gatherings but the best was the screened porch. The home offers everything needed for beach and pool activities… chairs, umbrellas, floats, games, etc, no need to bring anything more than swimsuits and perishables. If your group enjoys pickleball, the court is literally in your backyard. The kitchen had everything we needed… double fridge and two dishwashers were much appreciated and used. There are many steps within the home so the outdoor elevator came in handy especially for unloading/loading the car. The fenced dog run is a must for fur babies. The management company is the best I’ve come across in my many decades of VRBO vacation rentals… response time to texts was almost immediate. Be aware the walkway to the beach has stairs which made it difficult to use a wagon so we carried beach gear. I recommend this property without hesitation for large groups.

Fabulous Getaway

We loved our stay at the Salty Pickle! The pickleball court is why we booked (which was AWESOME!) but we enjoyed the many other amenities as well. The management company does a great job of making you feel welcomed and taken care of and even provided a bag of essentials for the week which we really appreciated. We’ve stayed in many places on the island and this was one of our favorites. 10/10!

The kitchen, dining room and den was on the top floor...with a huge deck overlooking the water. The pool isn’t very big, but big enough to enjoy! The pickleball court was brand new looking. We played every day! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely review of The Salty Pickle! We’re delighted to hear that you all such a wonderful stay. The owners of the home thoughtfully designed with all different groups in mind, so it makes us smile to know you felt completely at ease letting your dog enjoy the getaway right alongside everyone else. We’re glad the cleanliness, convenient floor plan, and main-level bedrooms made everything comfortable for your group. That screened-in porch is a favorite spot of ours too—perfect for morning coffee or a breezy afternoon chat. And we’re thrilled you enjoyed the upstairs kitchen, dining, and living areas along with that big deck overlooking the water. It really does make those island views extra special. Happy to hear the pool was refreshing and just the right size for some fun, and we love that y’all made such great use of the pickleball court! It’s wonderful to know it added a little friendly competition to your stay. Thank you again for choosing The Salty Pickle. We truly enjoyed hosting you and would be honored to welcome you back anytime!
