Perfect little spot close to the beach for our weekend stay. Very clean. Host promptly called us to address a mix-up in VRBO's automated check-in instructions. Really enjoyed staying in Salty Cabana and getting several beach walks in every day.

This is a delightful place! It was a great place to stay with my pup! It's a short walk to the beach and has plenty of yard space for your pup. It was easy to get in touch with the hosts and an easy check-in.

My family and I loved Salty Cabana!!! It was so comfortable and felt like a home away from home. The check in process was simple and our host was very fast to respond to questions. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. The location was wonderful with a short walk to the beach, pier, arcade, and restaurants. We will definitely be rebooking!

Great walking area

We enjoyed our stay. It was so nice to walk to the beach, food & the pier! The cabana is definitely older, but also clean & cool. The hot water was great!! Having the outside shower was plus with 4 people. Only thing I wished for was a covered porch/patio area. Otherwise, it was a great stay!

We needed a last minute getaway and the Salty Cabana fit our need during the week. The location was perfect close to the pier and we loved that it was pet friendly. The welcome bag was a wonderful gift, as well. Would stay here again.

My only complaint was the bedroom air conditioner light was sooooo bright. Maybe it’s just us, but we like it very dark when we sleep. We “fixed” the issue by taping a piece of dark paper over the light. More ice trays would be good to have. Other than that, we had a great time and would recommend it to others for short stays.
