The Salty Stay was a PERFECT stay! The space was beautifully done up, very clean and organized. Emily and Kelly were super responsive and helpful on local favs/recs. Julianne was also helpful on helping us from the ferry to the house. It is a quick walk to town and had great views of the water for our morning coffees. Would 100% come back and recommend to others. Thank you for everything!

Stay Salty and our host Emily was fantastic! Sitting on that porch after a long day at trunk beach was heaven on earth! The place had everything! Every detail so thoughtful and planned out from scuba gear to beach chairs to the linens and dishes it was amazing and we will be back! We loved breakfast or drinks on the screened in porch watching the ferry and ships roll in! Truly magnificent!

We loved it here! This place was a drink of ease... We loved the taxi service...and the people. But when we walked, we loved the workout. The swings and the sea were perfection! Thank you!

We spent two weeks at Stay Salty and already miss it! With all that Saint John has to offer, I'm not exaggerating when I say this place made our whole trip! It was such a nice little oasis to wake up in, and to come home to at the end of a long day. it's very well equipped and comfortable, with a closet full of beach gear and nice little kitchen, which we used quite a lot. The wrap around screen porch is an amazing spot, with beautiful views all the way out to Saint Croix on a clear day. With the huge double doors opened wide, a cross breeze gently blows through the space, keeping it very comfy, without running the AC (the AC works fine BTW, but we didn't use it). The washer/dryer came it very handy as well! I think we mentioned to ourselves at least once a day how happy we were staying here. Apparently Saint John is notorious for power outages, and the battery back up worked flawlessly! And lastly, the hosts are really nice and very helpful! We'd be happy to stay here again!

My sister and I really enjoyed our stay! It was so helpful to have all of the things we needed for our trips to the beach including coolers, snorkel gear, chairs etc. The location was perfect for walking into Cruz Bay to get food and watching sunsets. Highly recommend and I hope to be back soon.
