Great Family Beachhouse

The Salty Seahorse was a great beach house! Right on the water with plenty of beach during low tide. The house has a fantastic outdoor area with multiple fire pits, an outdoor kitchen and private sand area for kids. The house is well-appointed with kayaks, paddleboards and seating to enjoy the views. We would certainly return!

By the sea

Just spent a week at the Salty Seahorse. Loved being so close to the ocean. We were looking to relax and recharge and that is exactly what we were able to do. Everything we needed was provided for us. Thank you for such an enjoyable week. Kathy and Bruce

Wonderful Getaway

The home was very nice and clean! My family had a great time enjoying a long weekend at the property. The beach is so nice and clean and we enjoyed using some of the water toys. I would definitely return to this property! The hosts were so nice and even got my mother a birthday card as we were celebrating her birthday. Thank you!

Lovely charming home couldnt be closer to beach.

Salty seahorse was very nice. Loved the large outdoor spaces and hot tub, could use some minor replacements outside but still very nice. Had everything you need inside. Master bedroom had remote dark shades and nature sounds to sleep to. Very nicely decorated with ocean theme. Location is close to everything and on dead end so very quiet. Owner very responsive. Area is also very pet friendly. Great rental.

Beach stay

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house. We had 6 adults for the week. The house has everything you need. Although there are many excellent restaurants near by we cooked on site every day. Nice outside bar, gas grill, wine refrigerator, paddle boards, gas fire pit, wood fire pit why would you need to go anywhere else. The house was clean and the neighborhood was quiet. Highly recommend.

This isa wonderful place to stay in a great location.

We had a great time here. The house was nicely set up and there were kayaks we would use to paddle around the area. Salt Island, just offshore can be walked to during low tide and paddled to any time. The hot tub was set up for us and greatly enjoyed

Spectacular Beachfront Getaway

My family had an amazing time at this beautiful shoreline home right on the water! The house was immaculate, the central air worked perfectly, and the outside Salty Seahorse bar was massive and the best way to spend the evening grilling and hanging out with friends and family. We loved using their kayaks and SUP to visit Salt Island. Jen and Erik were excellent hosts and communicated immediately. My family could not have enjoyed our stay more! We can't wait to return.
