The view was the best part of our stay. The pool needed cleaning so we didnât use it. The house needs some TLC. The property management worked with us on the issues in the end. They should advise that there is a service to set up shade and lounge chairs on the beach if you donât want take you own and put it up and down each day.
It was a great place and exactly what my friends and I needed for the trip. A couple little things and power outages due to the storm the first night we were there but didnât put a damper on our weekend. Paint was pretty fresh in some spots when we showed up and the glue came off on a couple doorknobs but thatâs really the only negative things. Highly recommend the stay and the proximity to the beach is the best part.
Pros: The house was gorgeous, location was perfect, great views, beds were super comfortable, so much space and a variety of spots to relax / hang out Cons: as described, the internet was very hit and miss, lots of stickers in the yard that would get on your shoes and then subsequently on the entryway mat. The pots and pans were quite worn and chipped, some glasses were dirty with (maybe) lipstick on the rims, there was no grill (as shown in the pictures), which messed up our plans to grill dinner, the master TV and the downstairs TV both did not work. The walls seemed super thin and since the neighboring houses were very close, we could hear entire conversations through the walls while the neighbors were in their pool.
We booked this place last minute to stay while a storm went through and it was such a great place! Lots of room, stylish furnishings amazing view and area! We thankful we stumbled upon this gem!
We loved staying here. Everything was clean and ready on arrival and there were thoughtful touches like soap, shampoo, laundry pods, etc. Beds were quite comfortable as well. Very close to the beach although you cannot watch the sunrise from the house as there are two other houses to the side that block the view.
Two minor issues:
1.The shower in the primary bath was not great-poor water pressure and the water went cold quickly. We showered in a different
bathroom.
2. The remote didn't work in the primary bedroom. We could turn the TV on/off and adjust the volume, but were unable to change channels. When we contacted the rental management, they couldn't help.
We would stay there again.
Great location; beautiful home. Great for our family of 10 with 4 small children. Overall very clean. Ceiling fans and light fixtures are extremely dusty. Landscaping needs some attention to improve exterior appearance of the home.
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful beach house on the Gulf! Our extended family met up here for a birthday celebration and relaxing getaway. The property was perfect for our group. The 3 levels offer plenty of gathering spaces but also separation. The deck off the 3rd level had spectacular views. As many guests have mentioned, there are lots of stairs but we didnât mind at all. Nice beach access and shirt drive to restaurants and shops. Management company excellent with communication and accommodating requests. Definitely recommend staying here.
My husband and I and four of our close friends spent a wonderful five days at Salty Kisses. The house was comfortable and warm. We loved the artwork and the amenities. We are pretty spry for 70-year-olds but if you arenât used to climbing a lot of stairs, this house has 3 levels with the main sitting area and kitchen on the third level. My friends and I loved the views and sitting out on the beautiful deck. We actually didnât spend a lot of time at the house because thereâs so much to do around there. We rode four wheelers around on the beach, did a lot of beach walking, and had a lot of delicious dinners at the local seafood restaurants.
Was a nice place to stay, there were some things that could be upkept better but overall for the price it was a great atmosphere and overall enjoyable experience.
The stay included 8 people (4 adults and 4 kids). Wonderful view of the ocean and very spacious for everyone. Beds were very comfortable, it was very clean and the private pool was nice to have as well.
NOTE: The only con is that they don't have a ice maker so make sure to bring ice.
The house has great bedrooms for various age groups and sleeping arrangements. The kitchen has the basics. Great addition with the small pool in the backyard. Overall it was lovely!
This place was amazing! Itâs a bit of a walk to get to the beach but the views from the balconies are incredible. If you are traveling with someone who has knee problems or disabilities this is a tough one since you canât use the elevator. There are 38 steps to get to the top. Overall this place is so very beautiful, well equipped and a must to stay at.
This is a lovely beach house in PortA, the location to the beach was a beautiful walk down the pier and the home itself has everything you need to experience a wonderful stay. It was our daughter's first time to the beach and the weekend couldn't be more comfortable and perfect.
We truly enjoyed our stay at Salty Kisses. The home had everything we needed with beautiful beachy touches throughout. And the location to the beach was amazing! Only wish we could have stayed longer!
The house was gorgeous. All three couples had their own space. The third floor living/dining/kitchen was everyone's favorite with the ocean view. And the beach accessories came in very handy.
Itâs a fantastic location for a beach getaway and we all had a lot of fun. But there are a few annoyances that are worth mentioning:
- there was only one key and on oldskool lockbox. That makes it annoying to keep the door locked. Why no smart lock?
- the kitchen pans are worn out. There was no normal sized cutting board. And the knives were so dull we went and bought a knife sharpener.
- the pool was cloudy, had trash floating in it, and didnât have the filter running. We avoided it.
- the ice maker is broken
- there was only one trash bag and no dustpan/broom
- pool construction caused us to have to walk around the front of the house
- because they use a large scale rental management company, it was not clear how to reach someone to address any of these issues.
