Harbour Island Trip Jan 2025

We truly enjoyed our stay at Salt Box. It’s a very charming Bahamian style property and very well kept. Once we walked through the house, we were amazed by the size of backyard/pool area and pool house which has 2 very nice bedrooms and a large bath. We ate most meals out but did have an incredible evening of grilled lobsters over the open fire on the parrilla. Great place for a family vacation.

Great stay!

The Salt Box is an incredibly beautiful property. Unassuming from the entrance, you step into an oasis with tons of charm to boot. We had 4 infant / toddlers that were very comfortable as well.

Perfect house for families with kids!

We absolutely loved our stay at Salt Box! It was in the middle of town, yet it felt very private secluded in the backyard! The kids loved the nice sized pool, and getting to the beach was a breeze! Sofia was an excellent host! Highly recommend!

The Saltbox is a stunning and secluded property in town. It’s an easy walk to shops, restaurants and the beach. The home is beautifully decorated with old island charm and modern conveniences. It’s incredibly comfortable for large groups or families.

Best stay in Harbour Island!

Wow this property is such a gem! The outdoor space was even bigger than I imagined, our group of 5 couples had the best time utilizing the big heated pool, lots of nice lounging areas, and perfect set up for grilling and outdoor dining. The main house and cottage were beautifully decorated and included all we needed. The hosts and Brianna and Dolce were welcoming and always quick to respond. They even helped accommodate us last minute when we had a flight cancellation. Overall great experience - I hope to go back to Saltbox again, and would highly recommend to anyone.

Charming Oasis

Such a charming property and the backyard looks like it is out of a magazine. We had the most magical stay at the Salt Box. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable and the cottage is just adorable! One couple had the cottage all to themselves and they were over the moon with their quarters. The host is very responsive and kind and the housekeeper is also amazing. We would definitely come back to the Salt Box!
