Perfect for small family

Property was perfect! Clean, plenty of towels, extra pillows. The beds were very comfortable! The bunk beds were not rinky dinky either and just as cozy as the master. Square footage wise, it’s not a big place so about 8ppl can hang out comfortably. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking; the pottery mugs are super cute. The decor is tasteful and done well. Everything was clean when we arrived. Nice, small back patio sitting area to enjoy your morning coffee. There were events at the pool, karaoke and s’mores. We played in the game room for over an hour, loved it. Short drive to Balli Park for beach time and close proximity to the Island Market. Definitely a property that we would consider buying a townhome in.

Cute place

We enjoyed our stay at Salty Melons in Aruba Bay. Very clean and new with two parking spots. The pool was pretty crowded during our July stay but we enjoyed to upper outdoor deck of the yacht club and the lovely cool breeze. Very nice property but could have done without the construction all around our unit

Perfect for our family of 4.

We found the location to be easy to get navigate to and from. You cannot beat the proximity to the beach and wonderful local eats. The house was very clean, had plenty of towels, wifi, coffee pot (single serve and traditional), and televisions in all the rooms. We would definitely stay here again.
