Perfect Keys house for a Perfect Keys Vacation

This property was extremely clean and well appointed. The pool was perfect to cool off and relax in. The HUGE covered patio was the STAR of the trip. There was always a cool breeze to be enjoyed under the shade of the enormous lanai! The owners were super helpful, friendly and down to earth. We WILL be back!

The keys!

This house is a very nice place to stay. It is clean and in good condition. The owners were great to deal with. The location was great for boating with quick access to the ocean (just follow the well marked stakes through the shallows and you will be fine with any sized boat). We will definitely be back!

Roomy, relaxing, and with manatees!

We had a delightful stay at Sea Salt Cottage. The rooms are large, the kitchen is well-equipped, and the tiki hut and pool are great for reading and relaxing. There's some construction taking place on the other side of the canal, but the occasional noise wasn't bothersome. We were especially thrilled to see manatees in the canal -- they may have been the highlight of our trip. Communication with the owner was excellent.

Paradise in Marathon

We had an amazing time staying at the waterfront Keys cottage! The home was nicely updated, comfortable beds, clean and had all the supplies we needed, LOVED the pool and tiki hut and having our boat our back was even better! Only a few houses away from the Ocean! We had several friendly visitors every morning and afternoon- MANATEES! Hosts were very responsive. If we had a question, they responded right away! We were sad to leave and will definitely be back next year! (We didn’t take a lot of photos bc we were too busy relaxing!) The Keys is our ‘Happy Place’!

Fabulous vacation rental

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sea Salt cottage. Rhonda was quick to respond to any questions or for dining recommendations which were also listed in the welcome pkg. Florida Steak and Lobster was our favorite! Easy check in and clean. We loved the Tiki hut and pool. Perfect for our 23 ft boat with easy access to Atlantic or gulf if you prefer. Beds were comfy and kitchen had everything we needed. Bonus access to garage to keep our boating/fishing stuff. Bait freezer was great. We will definitely return. Thank you again Rhonda for hosting us!

Wonderful Experience at Sea Salt Cottage!!

Sea Salt Cottage is a fabulous house on a beautiful canal leading into the Atlantic Ocean. The pictures don't show all the beauty in this house. My family and I had a wonderful time staying here. We brought our boat along with us and the docking area was great with a cleaning station. There were beach chairs and a cooler for us to use also. The accommodation of this home is amazing. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything that is needed. The owner responded quickly to our questions. Our family truly enjoyed our stay at Sea Salt Cottage. We would surely rent Sea Salt Cottage on our next trip to the Keys. 5 Stars

Amazing vacation!

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation to the Keys with our 4 young children. The house was extremely clean and had everything we needed. Rhonda was a fantastic host and very helpful with suggestions on places to visit and things to do. The kids saw manatees each morning and loved swimming in the pool. As a family we went bridge fishing, saw sea turtles and manatees, participated in a dolphin encounter, day trip to Key West, snorkeled at Horseshoe Beach, relaxed on Sombrero Beach and enjoyed some delicious seafood. Publix and Winn Dixie are also close to the house. Overall this was our best family vacation so far! The house was perfect for our family and in the middle of the Keys so it was close to everything. We did not want to come home and can't wait to visit again!

Great Keys Home

This is a great "Keys" house for 2 families. A total of 8 people, ages 10 to 45. We had plenty of room inside and out. Washer & dryer worked great. All the beds we're ever comfortable. And kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The pool was extra nice especially because the ocean was too cold to enjoy since we where there for New Years. We brought our own boat which is a must for us. I dont think I would even want to go without one. Boat Rentals are everywhere there. The fishing was great. We saw a ton of dolphin while out fishing and a Manatee showed up on our last day. He was huge! Which made our trip that much worth it. We went to eat by boat at Burdines. I highly recommend this place. It was delicious. I wouldn't change a thing. Rhonda was wonderful to work with. I couldn't ask for anyone better. Thanks again for letting us rent your home. 😍
