Great property. Kelly was super helpful and responsive. The place by itself is built amount the local houses close to the car ferry, but close and walkable to everything. Kelly picked us up from the barge and helped us park at the property. The kitchen was well stocked and the property was itself great. Highly recommend.

Our stay in St. John would not have been what it was without the villa. It is clean, SO close to town and overlooks the ocean! The porch swings were my favorite spot. And the water pressure was amazing for getting the days sunscreen off. Being able to walk right downtown through what we dubbed “the lizard trail” was so convenient and fun. Thank you Emily for providing a safe oasis

We had a great stay at Stay Salty. Kelly and Emily were very proactive with their communication and picked us up from the ferry dock and drove us and our luggage to the unit and got us checked in. The unit was plenty spacious for two people and had everything we needed. Very well appointed and had great beach materials (chairs, coolers, snorkel gear). The wrap around patio had a great ocean view and was peaceful to spend time on during the mornings. Bed was comfortable and AC worked great. Location was close to Cruz bay (ten minute walk if avoiding the large hills, faster if you decide to trek up a large hill). Fantastic parking spaces. Great value for the price, would stay there again!

Stay Salty was a wonderful choice! Close to everything, all the amenities (+) we needed, very clean, comfortable, and decorated. Loved hearing the roosters in the morning while having coffee on the deck.
