"The property was just as advertised. Everything was clean and beautiful. Pleanty of room for 6-8 people. The best part was the private back porch. It was too cold to swim but the pool was cute. I would recommend this rental, for sure. Hopefully we can stay again soon."

"We highly recommend the Salty Sanctuary for a getaway. The accommodations worked well for our party of six. The King beds were a plus since we were non couples sharing the beds. We had a few requests that came up and the management team quickly addressed our concerns. One of the highlights was the “heated” pool which was offered at no additional charge. We highly recommend this home and we would definitely reserve again when we return to Duck Key."

"The surrounding property is beautiful and the house truly felt like a sanctuary. We loved the little pool and shaded yard, beds and linens were comfortable, and we used the kitchen to prepare meals! There’s so much outdoor space to enjoy. It was a lovely stay. The location was great - 15 minutes to Sombrero Beach, and a grocery store. An hour or so from Key West, we were able to explore. We would definitely come back!"
