We were traveling with 1 small dog, a 1 year old and 8 adults for 1 daughter graduation from FSU. The host confirmed the people coming and when we got there she had a cute little doggie set up ready and a high chair for our granddaughter. The property was perfect, the view was extraordinary. We are thrilled and will be back! It was an easy 1 hour drive from FSU to the house and we were so happy with everything about it!

If you’re searching for the ideal Old Florida beach house, where time slows down and life moves at a different pace, this is it. We had a wonderful stay with our family of 4 and our dog (didn’t use 3 of the bedrooms, the house was bigger than expected). I used to come to alligator point as a child and haven’t been back in years, wanted to show my kids and husband this peaceful area of the forgotten coast. The house was wonderful and reminded me of the cottage my family had as a child, wooden beams and walls, beautiful old Florida style you don’t see much anymore. I loved the sunken sitting area and of course the beautiful beach views and also a long dock on the bay side. The kids enjoyed the pickleball courts and fishing beach and bay. Robin the host was great. Hope to come back again.

This house is beautiful and in an incredibly beautiful spot. We spent a week there over Christmas with six family members and had a wonderful time. The view from the balcony is stunning, and the full-house wrap-around porch is a great touch. We watched sunsets every night. We watched dolphins up and down the shoreline corralling fish. In December it was very quiet and the weather was perfect. The design of the house is terrific with an open concept and yet individualized spaces so that a big group can spread out and everyone still be together. Robin, the host, was very friendly, responsive, and accommodating. We played pickleball, walked on the beach, used the dock for our friend’s boat, cooked a bunch of food (two stoves and ovens came in very handy, not to mention the extra fridge in the downstairs), and much more. There were a few areas for improvement. The house was rather dusty and it felt that it wasn’t cleaned and kept up as well as it could be. I never was able to find the promised kayaks. All in all though these inconveniences were minor, and our stay was unforgettable.

Photos don’t do this property justice! We were a family group of nine adults who love to be together and who value our alone time. This eclectic property had nooks and crannies for privacy, and wonderful gathering areas. The decor was beachy and fun, and the kitchen FULLY stocked with every appliance or accessory you could need. The beach was great and essentially private. Robin was wonderful and responded immediately to the few requests or questions we had. Five stars aren’t enough!

Truly Wonderful Stay with Outstanding Hospitality

Our stay at this home was truly wonderful! The host was exceptional—kind, attentive, and communicative. While some amenities were intermittent, the host went above and beyond to resolve any issues promptly. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the pool couldn't be cleaned, which limited its use during our stay. It would have been helpful to have a backup pool maintenance option. Despite this, the overall experience was amazing, and we would definitely consider renting this home again!

Old Salt Getaway

This property is absolutely amazing and would highly recommend it for a getaway! The house is huge with 6 bedrooms, large kitchen and lots of space for everyone. The host has thought of everything and made it so easy to go in and relax. The house is set right on the beach and across the street is the river so there is lots to do. Spectacular sunsets, stargazing, fishing, walks on the beach or just relaxing on the beach or in the house. And the pickleball courts right in front of the house were lots of fun! We will definitely be going back to The Old Salt, thank you Robin!!

Relaxing beach getaway with plenty of space for everyone

Our stay at this quirky and spacious beach property was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had picked the perfect spot for a short family getaway. The home’s unique, vibrant decor gave it such a fun and playful atmosphere, instantly setting the tone for a great time. Every room had something special, from funky art on the walls to a cozy reading library, making it feel like a true escape with room for everyone. The amenities were top-notch! The kitchen was fully stocked, making family meals a breeze, and the beach gear provided (chairs and towels) meant we didn’t have to worry about packing extra things. We loved the outdoor area — the kids played pickleball (equipment provided) and then hopped in the pool while we grilled and enjoyed the outdoor area. The beach was just a few steps away, and the location made it easy to unplug and explore the beach. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to unwind and enjoy time together. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind beach getaway with all the comforts of home and then some, this is the place! We’ll definitely be coming back!

Rustic Charm in a Great Location

This property had a ton of rustic charm and offers a lot of space. The upstairs is listed as two bedrooms, but it is actually a large open space separated by a bathroom. It works well for a family with children if needing to hear all that is taking place 😂. Other bedrooms are very small, but cute. There is a wrap around porch that is lovely too! We enjoyed how close the house was to the water on both sides. The sound side has an amazing dock to fish from. I do not recommend it for those not sure footed, as it extends far out to the water without railing. Our greatest hiccup for the weak was the air condition. It did not function our last two full days and it was HOT! Owner was on her way to install new ones. Closest shopping is about 15 min away at Dollar General.

We love Old Salt

Our family loves the charm of Old Salt, and will definitely be back. The pricing for a six bedroom ocean front home can’t be beat. Still, we have a few wishes (which don’t affect the rating) 1, The dining room chairs and deck chairs are extremely uncomfortable. 2. We would love for the a tall toilet to be installed. Older people like me have knee issues which are aggravated by low toilets. 3. The upstairs AC just didn’t perform well. In fairness, our host responded immediately to our concerns, but a better unit would be great. That’s it. We love Old Salt and look forward to our next stay three. Joe P

Family Beach Trip

What a wonderful week spent playing on the beach with my adult children and grandchildren. The home is spacious and the kitchen has all items to prepare meals. The 2 beds listed as queen size are definitely full size and difficult for 2 adults to sleep comfortably. Additionally, the home was hard to keep cool enough even at night. Wonderful location on the beach with few other people which made it seem like we had the entire beach to ourselves.

Enjoyed our stay but some issues.

I want to start off by saying that the initial vibe in the house is a quirky homey feeling. I liked the old wood vibes and I loved the opened the kitchen. I would say this house is a 5 bedroom not 6. The upstairs master is open with an additional twin room on the other side. It is open with no doors. If you have a family, this is an ideal room. Two couples however would not want to stay upstairs. Also, after one shower, it’s so hot you can’t stay in the bathroom. The vent also doesn’t work. And to you have to keep the door close to help the ac upstairs. The main issue was the AC. The upstairs units did not work for the first night. This made the rooms unusable. 80 degrees is not a comfortable sleeping temp. The main unit took 16 hours to get from 78 to 72. Overall big ac issues. Our baby monitors in two rooms read 74 to 76 every night. The property is outdated. The appliances need updating. The fridge door has broken shelves all down it which makes them unusable. The outside area in front of the house is kind of a mess. The yard needed more maintaining. The grilling situation is kind of difficult. It’s pretty far away and a lot of steps between the kitchen and grill. Not really usable space under the house. The pool is small but honestly was great for our small children. That was a nice bonus. The best part…the beach. It’s quiet and beautiful with white sand. If asked if I would book this house again, the answer would be not during the hot part of the year.

Fantastic

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Old Salt. The house was spacious, with four bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs, three bathrooms, two sitting areas, dining room, bar, and well-equipped kitchen. The master bedroom was huge, and the upstairs bedrooms were furnished with beautiful antiques. The house was clean, the furniture comfortable (especially the beds). We appreciated the sturdy, well-maintained deck which extended all around the house. The numerous song birds and white squirrels were a real treat. The beach was great and almost deserted. The pool was clean and refreshing. We (five women) joked about waiting for the pool boy, and imagine our surprise when he really did show up to clean the pool! We would not hesitate to choose Old Salt again the next time we vacation in Alligator Point.
