We stayed here for a wedding, and it was absolutely amazing! The size of the house was great for my husband, adult daughter, her husband, and two grandchildren! The house was super clean and had everything we needed. It was an amazing experience, and we would choose it again!

The condo was super clean as well as the parking lot and pool area. White Caps beach was about 3 minutes away. The marina area could use more green lights in the water for fishing. 1 green light is not enough. We still fished the marina and had fun. We definitely will be returning in the future.

We loved this place! We stayed at Aruba Bay with multiple families for a baseball tournament. This townhouse was clean and very homey. The second bedroom was a little smaller than expected, but other than that it was perfect. The kids had so much fun at the pool with the slides, and playing foosball and ping pong upstairs. The location was great, being so close to the beach. There’s plenty to do here and in the area. We plan to come back!
The condo is extremely well kept and clean. The check in process was seamless and easy. No complaints!

It was a great place to stay. Very clean inside and out. Very close to beach. Only thing would suggest is to make more ADA compliant for people with disabilities.

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay at the salty melons condo. It had everything needed to entertain and accommodate our kids of ages 2,5, and 7. The board games were a hit, the utensils and cookware being available helped a lot and reduced our need to travel and/or purchase extra items for our trip. From the hair dryer, iron and ironing board, to the speaker provided. The amenities were amazing and family friendly. The yacht club was so beautiful and a great background for us to take family pictures at. We highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be coming back.
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.
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
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.
