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.

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.
