All around amazing. From recommendations for the best beaches, fishing carters, little shop to walk around, and of course places to eat. This was for sure the best family vacation yet. We will be back for sure! For the first time I never heard from our 8 year old daughter โ€œIโ€™m ready to go homeโ€ or โ€œIโ€™m boredโ€. This felt like a home away from home. Thank you for everything again! Krista

We loved staying at Salty Palm property on our Spring Break 2026 vacation. The house is impeccably clean and stuffed to the brim with all the travel and utility necessities. We didn't need to bring or buy shampoo, body wash and conditioner, paper towels, dishwasher and washer detergent, coffee, tea, creamer, beach towels, beach chairs, beach wagon, beach umbrella, cooler, fishing gear and many other things I can't think of. The hosts were immediately available via the text message for any questions (they send the welcome message with the check-in instructions). The pool, the back yard entertainment zone and the play room were a huge hit with my kids. Packman arcade and mini-golf! We house is very well remodeled and maintained, the design and the attention to the detail is a next level with a comfy cushy sofa for a family movie night with plenty of throw blankets and the nightstands with built-in USB charging outlets. We were sorry to leave after a week-and-a-half stay

We had an amazing time at The Salty Palm! The house had everything we could possibly need, including all the essentials for a perfect beach day. The location was ideal, making it easy to get to Anna Maria Island. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we had so much fun enjoying the pool and game room. We canโ€™t wait to come back!
