      Favorite VRBO EVER
      This is by far my favorite short term rental I have ever stayed at. The location and privacy is second to none. The pool area is like something out of a movie. Hope to come back again!

      The Perfect Charm
      The Salt Box was absolutely perfect for my friend group of 8 people. Pretty much everything on the island is walkable, and the house/garden is truly an oasis. Sofia and her team are so responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back!

      Felt Like Home
      From the booking and communication with our host, Sophia (seamless) to the stay itself, we are so thankful. We had a small issue with the kitchen stove one morning--Briana communicated it to the handyman and it was fixed right away. Everything needed was available and tended to thoughtfully. The house and cottage were perfect for our party of 6, celebrating a milestone birthday. We rented a golf cart for 6 for the duration of the trip and enjoyed our forays around the island. The highlights were lounging together and talking in the outdoor seating area, cooking lobster tails and flank steak one evening on the outdoor grill (all the men want to build one in their own homes now) and finding out we were only one block from Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. Very welcoming island from the Saltbox to all we encountered. Thank you.
