We had a lovely stay at Slightly Salty! The house is beautiful and just as pictured! It had everything we needed to cook for the week. The proximity to the pool and the beach access were great! The kids enjoyed using the sand toys to play in the sand. The pool offered lots of lounging options both in the sun and shade. We really enjoyed the back porch and relaxing out there in between the beach and pool. We would have loved to have an information book with all the check in and checkout information in one place. It would have also been great to have suggestions for local restaurants and activities to do in the area. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would love to come back in the future! Thank you!

The location can’t be beat! The beach access is right across the street. One of the bedrooms does not have an attached bathroom which I was not aware of. The linens and towels were all clean. The house was overall clean but the house is a little worn or beat up in areas so it makes it seem like it’s not as clean. This is an easy fix as some areas could stand to be touched up with paint. Also, the house is small and seems cramped because of all the unnecessary decor around. For example, there is a small trunk in the master bedroom that serves no purpose but it is covered in decor. We were limited to where we could put the suitcase and it would have been nice if that trunk was not there or at the very least had nothing on top of it so maybe you could place some personal items on it. The house is great as far as location goes and will meet your basic needs.

Wonderful home, fully equipped with anything you might need and a great layout. Very close to the beach - not 150 steps - but who is really counting when you are that close? Beach towels would be a nice addition, as it was the only item that left us in a lurch. Host was responsive and there were no surprises. Would definitely stay here again!

Family Beach Vacation

Had a small maintenance issue after arriving, called manager and they had it fixed that same afternoon!Still not sure what the 150 steps in the description is, was a little farther to the beach that that but the private beach access and the public beach access (with shower and waterhose on walkway) was pretty much right across the road.

Felt like Home Away from Home, Cute Decorations, Spacious, & Convenient Location to the Beach - We felt welcome from the moment we walked in the door. We loved the location, though we found it more convenient to use the public beach access than the private one, as we were told we couldn't set our beach spot up at the private access because we were only allowed to use that one due to it being"grandfathered in." We could walk through the sand to the public area or on the walking path. The public access, only another minute walk, was larger and had a shower off area with garbages which made things easier with kids anyways. The rental was comfortable, well furnished and stocked. This would hands down be a place we'd return to!

Thank you so much for your kind words. The beach access has been a huge sticking point all along 30A. You do have the right to sit at the median water line in the dry sand. The beach attendents have attendcy to be a bit pushy.

Comfy Cottage

We loved everything about this place! It was nicely decorated, well stocked, very clean, and had a great layout. The cottage was conveniently located near everything we enjoy doing on our vacations…beach, pool, bike path, walking trail, shops, and restaurants. With five adults, having three bedrooms and three bathrooms was very accommodating. I would highly recommend this house. We plan to return soon!

Hi Jonathan thank you so much for your review. I’m glad you had a wonderful stay at our home. The proximity to the beach is also one of our favorite things about our home. Summertime on 30A is pretty crowded and makes parking a challenge. That’s a great recommendation regarding the golf cart. Tanis

About the host

Hosted by The Anderson Family

Host profile image
My husband and I currently reside in Saint Johns, FL with our two children. We moved here to enjoy endless summers after moving around quite a bit while my husband was a member of the United States Army.

Why they chose this property

We selected our home in the Rosemary Beach area because the beaches are some of the most beautiful either of us have ever seen. The area is ideal for families and romantic getaways. There are numerous restaurants and boutiques within a 5 mile radius. If you are looking for entertainment for the whole family, Panama City Beach has something to offer for everyone.

What makes this property unique

Our favorite part of the home is the coastal cottage feel and the proximity to the beach. We cross the street and have incredible views of the ocean and white sand under our feet.
