Room was beautiful and clean. Kitchen had everything we needed. The pool was dirty on Monday when we arrived but Tuesday through Friday was clean. We rented a golf cart to get to and from the beach, 5min drive. I would stay here everytime we come back

4th of July Beach Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the Saltwater Hippie. It was clean and comfortable and would love to go back. An extra perk was front row seats to the 4th of July fireworks.

Could have been better

We had no AC the whole time we were there until our last night after 9pm. It’s a good thing it was not extremely hot outside as we had to open the patio doors for ventilation. Parking is extremely tight! Very narrow driveway.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Saltwater Hippie. There are two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and a bedroom and bathroom downstairs. The place was clean and everything we needed was provided. We had an extremely minor issue immediately upon checking in and they sent maintenance out to correct it promptly. I was very impressed with the urgency to which they attended to our matters.

Great place w/ two masters

Great place with coastal style. Close to shops and restaurants. Unit is at front of community so parking seems a little tight for a double cab Chevy truck and Jeep Grand Cherokee. Noise from showers on adjoining walls might be a little loud for some. Other than that - don’t pack your baggage/coolers too heavy since the kitchen is upstairs and you have to carry it all upstairs (assuming you bring your own groceries rather than shop at IGA). One master upstairs and one downstairs. Not under your control - pool area had unaccompanied youngsters (age 10-14 maybe) and some litter lying around. Too much shade for pool area - didn’t seem as bright as website. Vegetation seems to invite mosquitoes. Also not under your control - dang Texas size mosquitoes at front and back door and at pool area. And IGA was out of citronella pots. Would we do it again - ABSOLUTELY!

Summer Vaca

The house was perfect! My husband and I took our son and his girlfriend on our summer vacation before we take him to FL for college! We took the upstairs and the kids took the downstairs room! We forgot our games but thanks to a box of Dominoes in the closet we had plenty of fun at night! Great location and very well decorated and stocked! Definitely would stay again!

Girls Trip

We enjoyed our stay so much! The property was clean and welcoming. We enjoyed the upstairs balcony each morning and each evening. The beds were comfy and we loved having our own bathrooms. It was such a great location and very centrally located. We were no more than 5-10 minutes from anything we wanted to do, even the beach. We enjoyed the pool too. It was very clean, and it was not crowded at all. It was a quiet community and a nice area. We absolutely would come back!!! Thank you so much for such an incredible girls trip. :-)

Great stay at the Salwater Hippie!

We stayed 3 nights in Aug and loved the house and property. The unit was impeccably clean and looked exactly like the listing. It had everything we needed, all items were in working order, bathrooms were immaculate and spacious and the overall design of the house perfect for 2 couples. The yard was perfect for our dog. My only recommendation would be to add a couple of ceiling fans on the outside patio - as it's really just too hot to use that space.

Great property

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Had plenty of storage and the decorations were really pretty. They supplied us with all our needs for keeping the townhouse clean. Nice large shower in the bedroom downstairs and the beds were very comfortable. The location is awesome to all restaurants and beach. Unfortunately the weather was pretty rainy our first few days, but we made the best of it. Would use this townhouse again!!
