Best Salty Stay in Destin
We had an unforgettable family vacation at Salty Shores. This home was exactly as stated and more. It was clean and beautiful. Comfortable sectional couch plenty of space. A great little play area for little ones. The bunk room actually has 2 full bunk beds with trundles under each one. A pack and play, potty seat and booster seat for the dining room. The pool was so fun with the fountains and beautiful landscaping. There is a sweet little coffee shop we rode bikes to called Badass Coffee. Best strawberry smoothie I’ve ever had. It was a short walk to the private beach but we like to use a canopy which was prohibited so we walked a little further to the public beach which wasn’t a problem just keep that in mind before lugging all your beach day fun items to the private beach. This place was a gem and I didn’t want to leave!!

Great location and nice property
Location was fantastic being only a block from the beach. Property was very nice in most ways and is reflected well in listing. Only thing of note was the bikes could have used some maintenance and had to request beach access code (was given prior month) but received a response quickly.

Great location and amenities
The house is laid out well and accommodated our crew perfectly. The pool was amazing, the under stairway retreat was a perfect hideaway for kids and the house was in a great location with nice and new amenities. It was just a short walk to the beach or a quick drive to any Destin Destination. Having the bathrooms in each bedroom offered privacy. The kitchen had all the tools needed for keeping folks fed on the go or a place to sit and hang out. The island in the kitchen was a little big for the space, so it limited having too many cooks in the kitchen. Overall a wonderful place to relax or minutes away from any fun in the sun activity!

Family fun
There were 16 of us. 9 adults and 7 kids. Short walk and easy access to the beach. The pool at the house was utilized daily as well. Enough room for us all without being in each other’s way. This was a fabulous bucket list dream come true for me!! We did not use the free passes…maybe several free to one thing would have been more utilized.

Great location
The location of the property is great. A family oriented neighborhood and close to main strip and beach. The sofa in the family room is deceiving. It is large but not comfortable. Mattresses were a bit lumpy. I guess some of this is to be expected due to different people occupying the house.

Great house, close to beach, awesome pool, needs a deep clean
We loved a lot of things about this property but as others have said it desperately needs a deep clean (dust built up on baseboards, light fixtures, under furniture, base of cabinets, hair on window sills, etc). The house layout and flow was very comfortable for our group of 14 (8 adults, 6 kids ages 1.5-11). Good room size, personal bathroom for each bedroom. Good location, easy walk to the beach. But the “private” beach was so crowded. We ended up doing the beach service, but were in the third row of beach goers until our last day, after many discussions with the service (La Dolce Vita). Maybe it would help if the house came with one service included so we had a better location on the beach near the water (important to us with small children).

Overall we really enjoyed this house. The kid cove was wonderful for my 2 year old. They also already had a pack b play setup for us and a little booster seat in the kitchen closet. It’s within walking distance to the beach! We did have an issue with the pool heater constantly going out on us but maintenance was very responsive. Unfortunately, it didn’t stay heated the whole time but we still enjoyed our stay. Definitely recommend for large groups and groups with kids! Just pack a baby gate for the stairs!

Perfect location!
This home was such a great location to the beach and restaurants. The neighborhood was quiet and quaint. The home was the perfect size for our family offering enough beds and rooms. The only thing that could have been different was more attention to dusting of lights and furniture as well as a few added kitchen utensils to make it even easier for out of state guests to feel like everything they need is right in the home. Would recommend this home to others!

House nice but not without problems
Premium price should receive premium service and cleanliness with everything in working order. Not so. Disappointing issues. - Freezer not working (ice cream was too soft); food not freezing properly; food safety concerns. - Dirty kitchen (crumbs on counters in multiple places and grime built up all around faucet and sink). - Need more wash cloths. One per person is ridiculous. - Kids room with balcony is a BIG safety hazard. - Broken oven (should have been fixed BEFORE we arrived). - BBQ grill was dirty. - No bbq wire brush to clean grill. - No light bulb in lamp by bed on main floor (hazard). Should have been replaced BEFORE arrival. - Pool alarm was not working upon arrival … BIG HAZARD FOR CHILDREN! - Trash should have been gone upon arrival not left for US to deal with! - Pool hose was not working upon arrival. - Broken top drawer in the dresser of bedroom on main floor. It fell out and hit my hand giving me bruises and a mark (I have a picture of it). Very upsetting. This caused me to have an injury that should not have happened and now I have to live with the pain and healing because of the owners negligence

Nice home.. need to pay closer attention to detail
This was a nice home with a few exceptions. The kitchen was spacious although the one of the ovens went out the second day. The repair guy was out the next day to work in it. We also had a little issue with the pool, but they were responsive In order to correct the problem quickly. The house cleanliness is a 3. There was cobwebs in a number of the bedrooms and on the lamps where more attention was necessary. Additionally, the floor and throw rugs needed to be cleaned. Rugs had spots on it and walking across the floor after 10 mins the bottom of our feet were dark from dirt. I paid a premium price and I expected the property to be prestine. Overall we had a good stay.

Great space and location
The pool is what really sets this place apart. With the hurricane that just came through, the beach wasn’t allowing people to get in the water. So having our own pool and not having to share with other guests like a condo was really nice. Rooms are spacious, updated decor, great kitchen, Loved having bikes to ride to the beach which is very close, and it’s close to just about everything else. We will definitely book this house again!!

Bright side of 2020
This house was a perfect fit for our families. The location was close enough to walk, bike, or take a golf cart ride to the beach. The house looked like it was recently renovated and was pristine upon arrival. The pool was great for sun bathing or swimming for the kids and the sleeping arrangements were great except the bunk room has to share a bathroom with another room. Overall, with COVID going around, this house was truly a home away from home and a great, clean, well kept and well maintained place to spend our 2020 family vacation.

McAllister Beach Vacation
We loved the house! It was perfect size for our family especially the room with bunk beds for the kids and the swimming pool. Very quiet and private even though there were houses close by. There were a couple of hiccups initially: 1. We had to call and get the code for the house 2. There was a leak around the stool in one of the bathrooms that took them 3 days to come and fix after I called 3. Finally we had trouble getting the golf cart going. They had not sent a release for us to sign so that took time to get that sent and returned. We had signed a release for the bikes before we got there online so that worked out well. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend it.🤗
