A wide concrete driveway and space beneath the house provides ample parking, while outdoor amenities like a gas grill, small charcoal grill, outdoor shower, and shaded sandy area with hooks for a hammock promise relaxation and entertainment. The owners of Salty Dog have thought of everything and even have you covered for the beach day! They offer a selection of books, magazines, beach chairs, and sand toys.
The neighborhood boardwalk leads you to the community's amenities such as the tennis court, pool, and private beach. Just a short 5 min walk to the beach from the home. This area of the Island is perfect for leisurely strolls, bird-watching, or even catching a glimpse of playful dolphins.
For those traveling with little ones - The Salty Dog is packed with amenities for the youngest of travelers. In the Twin Bedroom, you'll find a TV connected to a DVD player, stocked with a variety of Children's Movies including beloved Disney classics, and a Wii game console for Netflix access. Additionally, the twin room offers a toy box and closet with a variety of toys, while the nearby hallway houses a bookcase filled with Children's Books. Also, check out the kitchen drawer for coloring books and crayons. The bathroom linked to the Twin Bedroom, as well as the downstairs half-bath, feature a convenient step-stool, ensuring little ones can easily reach the sink. We've also got you covered with 2 portable booster seat/high chairs, child-size cups and utensils, and 2 umbrella strollers. While we provide a crib-size mattress, please note that a crib itself is not included (remember to bring your own crib bedding).
Must Do's at the Salty Dog from the Owners:
1) take a hot shower in the outdoor shower, don't just use it to rinse off from the beach (it's amazing);
2) read a book and/or take a nap in the hammock under the house;
3) enjoy your morning coffee on the exposed deck;
4) watch the sunset from the top level deck in the afternoon with your favorite cocktail;
5) play a board game on the screened porch;
6) use sidewalk chalk on the huge concrete driveway to play hopscotch or foursquare;
6) steam shrimp for dinner from Skinner's (or let them do it for you!);
7) try pigs in a blanket or a huge cinnamon roll from Lighthouse Bakery;
8) walk west on the beach to the 'cove' and see how many hermit crabs you can find;
9) go out on the beach at night with a flashlight to look for ghost crabs; and
10) relax, unplug, and have fun
