Best stay in Harbour Island!
Wow this property is such a gem! The outdoor space was even bigger than I imagined, our group of 5 couples had the best time utilizing the big heated pool, lots of nice lounging areas, and perfect set up for grilling and outdoor dining. The main house and cottage were beautifully decorated and included all we needed. The hosts and Brianna and Dolce were welcoming and always quick to respond. They even helped accommodate us last minute when we had a flight cancellation. Overall great experience - I hope to go back to Saltbox again, and would highly recommend to anyone.

Perfect house for families with kids!
We absolutely loved our stay at Salt Box! It was in the middle of town, yet it felt very private secluded in the backyard! The kids loved the nice sized pool, and getting to the beach was a breeze! Sofia was an excellent host! Highly recommend!

Charming Oasis
Such a charming property and the backyard looks like it is out of a magazine. We had the most magical stay at the Salt Box. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable and the cottage is just adorable! One couple had the cottage all to themselves and they were over the moon with their quarters. The host is very responsive and kind and the housekeeper is also amazing. We would definitely come back to the Salt Box!

Dreamy Island Oasis
The home was lovely! It was perfect for our Bahamas visit. We were 4 adults & 2 children and we all had plenty of space and accommodations. The backyard and pool was perfect for the kids. The kitchen felt like traveling back in time and was so fun. The home provided all the essentials, even beach hats, beach totes, & a small bar. The host left water for us & a few items in the fridge, including sodas & mixers. The home was a five minute walk to the beach or Valentines Hotel. It was central and easy. We hope to return next year.

Perfect hideaway in town
The Saltbox is a stunning and secluded property in town. It’s an easy walk to shops, restaurants and the beach. The home is beautifully decorated with old island charm and modern conveniences. It’s incredibly comfortable for large groups or families.

Salt Box is everything and more! Cozy, spacious and every bit of homey. Its a perfect compliment to/extension of the interior design draw of Harbour Island. Its so lovely you find yourself wanting to be there as much as you want to be exploring the island. The owner, house manager, & gardener were all wonderful and so helpful! Highly recommend and can't wait to return and stay here again!

Felt Like Home
From the booking and communication with our host, Sophia (seamless) to the stay itself, we are so thankful. We had a small issue with the kitchen stove one morning--Briana communicated it to the handyman and it was fixed right away. Everything needed was available and tended to thoughtfully. The house and cottage were perfect for our party of 6, celebrating a milestone birthday. We rented a golf cart for 6 for the duration of the trip and enjoyed our forays around the island. The highlights were lounging together and talking in the outdoor seating area, cooking lobster tails and flank steak one evening on the outdoor grill (all the men want to build one in their own homes now) and finding out we were only one block from Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. Very welcoming island from the Saltbox to all we encountered. Thank you.
