Welcome to The Salty Maria! Enjoy stunning, brand-newly reimagined interiors and an expansive, private heated pool.

Guests will feel rejuvenated by the bright and airy feel throughout this home. An open-concept floor plan connects the main living, dining, and kitchen areas and allows guests to make the most of their vacation time together. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with lots of natural light, and pops of turquoise décor stand out among the soft and neutral furnishings. The luxurious, large sectional sofa waits for you to sink down and enjoy a fun family movie night on the mantle’s giant flat-screen television. The lavish sunroom is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee with a view of the sparkling pool. A foosball table is tucked away in the second living area, which is furnished with a mounted flat-screen television and two large sofa chairs.

Bright white cabinetry and white marble countertops make this gourmet kitchen a delightful place for meal prep. This area is equipped with everything you need, including top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. The spacious breakfast bar offers six seats, and the adjacent dining table brings together the rest of the family for mealtime.

The spacious primary bedroom features a plush king bed, a mounted flat-screen television, and a fully renovated private en-suite bathroom with a glass-front shower and a dual-sink vanity. An additional king bed and a mounted flat-screen television are available in the next guest room. The third bedroom in this section of the house has a queen bed, mounted flat-screen television, and a pack-and-play for the littlest vacationers in your group. These two bedrooms share a fully renovated bathroom with shower/tub combo. The final two bedrooms in this home are located off a small, private living area. The first has two bunk beds and a wall-mounted television, perfect for the kids to have their own space. The second offers a luxurious king bed and flat-screen television. A spacious and fully renovated shared bathroom with a shower/tub combo, and a dual-sink vanity is available for these two guest rooms.

Step outside to enjoy lawn games in the spacious yard or make a splash in the home’s sparkling private pool. When you’re ready for a day of fun and sun, pack your beach bag and  take a short walk to the private beach access just down the street. Gather around the cozy outdoor fire pit with a favorite beverage to relive favorite memories from the day.

***We do have snowbird rates for the winter so please send a message for priority pricing***

Wonderful house and location

This house was perfect for our family. There was plenty of room for us to spread out and the pool was such a nice added bonus! Also, since a lot of other areas were super croweded due to spring break, having access to a private beach was a huge plus!

Overall nice beach home

Overall this was a nice beach home sufficient for our family’s needs for a week vacation. Clean and spacious but definitely showing some wear and tear in places. Enjoyed the living area, sunroom and pool/backyard area. Kitchen was nice but fridge and dishwasher both need attention/replacement. Beds were comfortable but one of the kings squeaks horribly. Bathtub in hall bathroom would not properly drain. Teens loved foosball table. House has no curb appeal, faces construction and sits on the main road so there was some traffic noise but not at night. People walking/biking by and 3 story house immediately behind so not much privacy in pool area. Golf cart seems old/worn but got us around. Very close (1 min golf cart ride) to public beach access. Private beach access is provided but it’s somewhat of a walk with beach chairs, coolers etc. and a lot of instructions to adhere to so we found it easier just to go down to the public beach access where you can park the golf cart. Did have an issue prior to arrival with regard to the pool. Since the weather was going to be cooler we wanted the pool heated. We were told that it could be heated for an additional 50/day even though the rental agreement stated that heating would be complementary. After some back and forth and having to share the relevant contract language it was taken care of. Overall good but had higher expectations for almost 1000/night. Will look at Seaside or Rosemary next time.

Perfect multi family home

Loved everything about this house! Plenty of indoor/outdoor space for 11 people. This One story home is perfect for my elderly parent who joined us, great distance to the beach, amazing pool, short walk to restaurants, comfortable beds/sofa, plenty of kitchen space, outdoor pit, and golf cart. All was great. There are a few beach chairs that need to be upgraded, but the beach umbrella was super useful. My only complaint is finding dead bugs inside the refrigerator every morning. The maintenance guy was very cool, responsive, arrived quickly and did his best to treat the issue. Hopefully this issue can be resolved so that the next occupants won’t have same problem.

Great House

This house worked out perfect for us! We wanted a nice, relaxing trip for a bachelorette trip, and this place was great. There was a bed fur everyone and the common area had tons of area/space for everyone to hang out. The private beach access was great! It was a small walk, but worth it since it was not near as crowded as the public access. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping right around the corner. Great location and house. We loved our weekend here!

House/property was just as described. The living area is large and great for spending time with family. Food options are 5-10 mins away by foot and 1-3 mins by included golf cart. Golf cart is a 6 seater. Beach access with a shower is 2 mins away by golf cart and private access beach 5 mins by foot (can’t take the golf cart). Plenty of towels available for the entire family.

Family Spring Break

This house was perfect for our family of 10, youngest children on one end and older on the other. When we got there we checked out the sleeping for all, only to find out the pack and play would not open and lock. Less than 30 minutes later, Christina from 850 Vacation text to see if we had everything we needed. I advise the issue with the pack and play, just as an FYI. Christina said she would bring one right over. She was there long before bedtime. The location is great, walking distance to do many things. I am sure if 850 Vacation could have kept the rain at bay they would have. Great time enjoyed by all!
