It was lovely… although house keeping really wasn’t there to make beds and or wash and or replace any towels. We went to the beach almost everyday and we had dirty towels and would have loved them to have been washed at least once during our stay. We really had zero communication with the house keeper.

Family Time at The Salt Box

The Salt Box looked like it was straight out of a magazine. The house and cottage were beautifully decorated and the property itself was just beautiful as it was landscaped with tropical plants that are taken care of by a local gardener. There were plenty of spaces for the 8 of us to all gather together and the pool was the perfect size and very refreshing. The location of the house is central to everything on the island and the suggestions in the guest directory were great. We rented two golf carts, ate at many of the suggested restaurants, went fishing and snorkeling with one of the suggested guides. Overall, it was an amazing trip.

Salt Box is an amazing home in Harbour Island. The pool and outside area is perfect to relax at after a day at the beach. Great outside sitting areas. Bedrooms are very spacious and comfortable! Our family would easily go back!

Amazing Perfection!

Travel group included myself and Husband, both of our daughters ages 21 and 33 plus son-in-law and granddaughter not quite two years old. The property is just as it is described. We did rent a golf cart and we loved Mrs.. V’s for beach access, chairs/umbrella and great food and drink. Rental of crib was great. Our granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed running around the spacious property and chasing the roosters! Both dolce and Brianna were lovely and very sweet. We loved having a main house and guest house because it did give us some separation for those early mornings with a toddler.. the outdoor spaces are all spectacular!! we just cannot say enough good things about our experience!

Great Property

This is a great place to stay if you have a big party, the rooms are spaced out nicely. While the indoor living space is small, the outdoor living area and pool area make up for it! We had the best time and plan to visit again soon.

This place is heaven! It’s exactly as pictured and better. It was was cozy but had plenty of space for our group of 7 - the outdoor seating areas are all beautiful! And the pool! So warm and relaxing. The host was also very responsive - when a circuit tripped, they were there within 10 minutes. I can’t recommend this property highly enough.

Harbour Island Trip Jan 2025

We truly enjoyed our stay at Salt Box. It’s a very charming Bahamian style property and very well kept. Once we walked through the house, we were amazed by the size of backyard/pool area and pool house which has 2 very nice bedrooms and a large bath. We ate most meals out but did have an incredible evening of grilled lobsters over the open fire on the parrilla. Great place for a family vacation.

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.
