Beautiful home with amazing view of the ocean. Bed is very comfortable. The decor is amazing with all the art depicting the local area. Easy drive into Fogo where we had a delicious dinner at bang belly bistro. Janice sent all the information ahead of time and had a big basket filled with pamphlets and information about the island a lovely place to stay.

This is a beautiful home that has been very tastefully updated while maintaining the original character and charm of the house. There is lots of wonderful local art displayed throughout and it includes artisanal furniture and rugs from Fogo Island. The kitchen and bathrooms have been finished to highest standards and the kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need. Janice responded promptly to any queries and was very helpful.The Storehouse restaurant is nearby and is well worth a visit - we had a fantastic supper there.Fogo Island is an amazing place!Overall, this was one of the best vacation properties we have ever stayed at.

This is a beautiful, clean and spacious house with a wonderful water view that lets you see for miles. It has a fully fenced yard for dogs, which we took advantage of. The bedrooms are roomy and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well laid out for some serious cooking and the two living areas are very relaxing with lots of comfortable seating options. Janice, our host, is a gem - easy to communicate with and always ready to answer any questions. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful time at the Saltbox house. The location was perfect to fully explore Fogo island. We loved the home itself, lovingly restored, furnished and maintained, with a great view of the bay/arm. I highly recommend this property.

Fabulous Stay

The saltbox was beautiful with so many aesthetic touches from exquisite furniture, to the owner’s paintings, to wonderful beach visuals of rocks and driftwood. And, of course, quilts. Everything was great and Janice responds to questions quickly and clearly. We loved our stay and would love to return.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Saltbox house. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. Janice was very responsive to any questions that I had, and was free with required recommendations. One thing to note is that only one of the bedrooms had an attached bath. We loved the art work all around and all the furniture.

Nice Traditional Home in a Great Location

My wife & I spent 9 wonderful days in this beautifully renovated Salt Box home. Very comfortable with modern appliances, quality furniture (much of it locally crafted on Fogo Island) and nice decor (including original artwork by the owner). Great view of the harbor from the living areas and the small front porch. Large back deck provides more outdoor siting space. Centrally located on the "populated" side of Fogo Island close to galleries, museums, hiking trails, groceries, etc. There is some traffic noise from the road during the day, but it's quiet at night. The fenced yard is natural vegetation (which we appreciate), so don't expect a lawn. We met several friendly neighbors who shared their stories about Fogo. Overall...highly recommended!
