What a great house. We had our three children, three grandchildren, son-in-law and always had plenty of space for everyone. The canal and Kayaks were a wonderful feature. Great kitchen, spacious tv room, we never wanted to leave. We had a family reunion of sorts and of the 4 rented houses the Kitchen's Salthouse was everyone's favorite. John Lamparelli

Great stay enjoyed it very much house very clean
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
The home was very inviting and spacious. Overall cleanliness was great. The outside of the building could use a little TLC but not a game changer. The major challenge we faced was the wheelchair accessibility. We chose this home specifically for the accessibility. The access ramp was located mid ways up a rather steep driveway. Pushing a wheelchair up the driveway to the home or holding it back from rolling down the hill when going on an outing was extremely difficult and required great strength. The ramp was thin and had a 90 degree turn. The doorway was extremely tight for a bariatric wheelchair. The other option for wheelchair access was through the garage to a bedroom that would be apart from all family activities. There was not a bathroom that allowed a wheelchair. The walk in shower was thin and didn’t allow for a wheelchair either. The air conditioner cooled great but had a leak that flooded the garage if a bucket was not constantly emptied. Be sure to read all fine print as linens was listed one area and listed as not included in another. We luckily caught this the night before our arrival and was prepared.These were issues we managed through. Disappointing for us but this home is an excellent choice and highly recommended for a group that does not require wheelchair accessibility. This option should really be removed from the listing.
