Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Room was super comfy. I had to be switched from a king to a double queen due to availability of a pet friendly king room. No big deal. Door to outside had some light showing through the sides and the latch was a bit loose. For a weekend away and the price I’d stay here again. Check in host was super friendly and communicated really well! I love that the beach is just a ten minute walk away, but I can also drive on if I want. Entrance to beach was well maintained and easy to drive through.

We had such a good time and stay here. It is so close to the beach and then having restaurants right across the road was so convenient. The only thing I had a problem with was getting more towels and turning in our key cause no one was at the front office. But the room was very nice. We will most definitely come back and stay!

The owner was the most helpful guy I have ever encountered at any hotel. He was very fast to solve any issues we had! I would rate this place 10 stars for service. You can tell the mattresses were recently purchased so firm but nice! We drove to the beach, it’s more of a 5-10 minute walk but not bad!! Will be coming back!

This property was definitely a disappointment. The pictures are misleading - our room did not look like the images on the listing. The room was dirty, there were stains in the sheets & comforter, and there was quite a bit of dirt/dust. The AC struggled to work and we were thankful that we brought our own fan. I realize this is more of a budget friendly option, but we paid over $200 for one night. We even thought about trying to find somewhere else to stay instead. I try to give the benefit of the doubt, but I would not stay here again. I would have spent a bit more to stay somewhere else if I had known the condition of this spot.

Noise from remodeling on site was unacceptable. The Manager kept apologizing and was very nice but he chose not to stop the remodeling guy from hammering, drilling and making other loud noises right next to my room (perhaps under it but sounded right next door) as late as 11 pm at night. I asked 3 times for the construction to stop starting around 9:30 PM and ultimately I was moved to another room in the back away from the noise. This room was hot as the window unit had not been turned on in time and it was extremely inconvenient to pack up all my clothes and gear as well as all my refrigerated groceries and trek to another room when I was ready to go to bed. Window unit was extremely loud too. Furthermore I got numerous mosquito bites along the way.

Saltwater Inn was quite a surprise. Reading the reviews, I was a little skeptical. I was even a little wary when I first arrived, due to its rugged appearance. However, don't judge a book by its cover. The office staff was extremely welcoming, and the room was pristine and comfortable. Although the decor is minimalistic, I had all the essentials I needed and then some. Thank you, Mike et al.! I highly recommend Saltwater Inn without reservation.
