Beautiful house with a great outdoor area & pool! Everything both indoors and outdoors was clean and well-maintained. There was plenty of room to dock the boat and a shady spot to clean our daily catches. We even had daily visits from the manatees! This spot was perfect for our annual lobster trip!! Host was very responsive and an absolute joy to work with! We will definitely book here again!

The house overall was wonderful just some minor housekeeping issues. Make sure you bring toilet paper and paper towels and if you have more than four people, make sure you bring additional wash clothes and laundry detergent other than that the house was wonderful. The tiki bar is absolutely amazing to enjoy meals underneath.

This property is just as it looks. The home is well decorated and cared for. Beds are comfortable. Pool is perfect. The cabana provides lovely sits in the shade while taking in the view. Our family of 5 loved it. Kids swam, fished the canal, enjoyed several visits from manatees. Highly recommend!

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.
