Wonderful condo!

Our experience was fantastic! The condo was just as described. We appreciated all of the extras to make our visit great, such as beach chairs and umbrella. Even though it was mid-summer, the beach and pool did not feel crowded. I could sit on that balcony and gaze at the water forever...

Top Notch!

We really enjoyed our stay at Salty Smiles. I stayed here with my kids (19 and 21). Everything you need for a great beach vacation is provided (even a jar of snacks!). Beach chairs, pool floats, sand toys, umbrellas, etc all in the closet and in great shape. Wish we could have stayed longer!!

The property was fantastic and very comfotable, however it was not very handicap accessible as it was portrayed in the listing. One of our guest was wheel chair bound and it was very problematic for us going in and out. This would have easily been 5 star rating if it had not been for that.
