  First of all we would like to thank Tammy for saying "yes" to our request to bring our four dogs here - but our dogs are all housebroken, obedience trained and mature - and we are very responsible pet owners. We actually foster homeless dogs until they find new loving homes, so all of us needed a great vacation away from it all. We usually have to pay a dog sitter to stay with our furbabies while we go on a vacation without them, and then we call home frequently because we miss them...but we have all had such an enjoyable stay at Dawg Days that we hate to see our vacation come to a close. We've been going to the beach and lake with our dogs and have never seen them so happy, they've been spending most of their time at the house sleeping, waiting for their next walk to the lake or shore! We have some great photos and memories to last a lifetime, but we will definitely be back soon to enjoy making more. The photos of this beach home can't possibly show you how well it is set up for both comfort and safety - if you are lucky enough to stay at Dawg Days you will want to make it your "vacation home away from home" too! We can't wait to come back.

  Owner response: You are so very welcome! There was no way I would want you to leave one of your furbabies at home! Aside from digging holes in the backyard I think the lake is a favorite of our gang! We can't wait to have you stay at our home again!!!! Thank you again for the pics!!! They will definitely get into the book the next time we go to Dawg Days.

  We just returned from our visit to Dawg Days and couldn't be more pleased. The listing and photos represented the house perfectly. And, the dogs loved it. They enjoyed their morning walks to the pond and the beach and then their evenings relaxing on the back deck. It was so nice to be able to sit out back with them and not have to worry about the dogs leaving the backyard. Having the fenced in yard was wonderful. And, the house was stocked with everything imaginable. The dogs thought so too! The location was very convenient to all the shops and restaurants. We will definitely be going back to Dawg Days hopefully sooner than later.

If you have any suggestions on how to make vacations even better for 4-leggers and 2-leggers feel free to email us! Bandit, Boomer & Riley

  This was our first trip to the Outer Banks, and we were looking specifically for a "dog-friendly" residence. We found this, and so much more, with "Dawg Days"! The location was superb for exploration of the OBX. From Hatterras to Carova... we were able to do it all! But the best part was that our home was so "dog friendly"... from the fenced-in back yard, to the abundant dog toys. We had piece of mind, and Buster and Maggie had FUN!! Thanks for everything! We WILL be back to this wonderful home!

  Owner response: Hi Maggie & Buster! So glad to hear you had a pawsome time at the beach and at our home!! I received a wonderful picture of you two while on vacation. I do believe you will be the first of your breed for our photo album!!!

  We had a fantastic time staying in Dawg Days, 3 families, 3 dogs (a Yorkie, a Rottie & a Neapolitan Mastiff) and not one problem. The house had everything we needed and more, from dog beds and bowls to a fully stocked kitchen and lots of beach gear. For the pet lover this is the house for you. Not one worry when letting our pooches out in the backyard or on the deck to relax with the family. The kids loved.....loved their room, the bunk beds and all the toys and the best part was the playstation 2, we didnt see them for hours. :-) The house is in a great location, a short walk to the beach or a short drive to shopping. This house far exceeded our expectations!!! The owners are top notch, they not only care about their home but they care about their renters, who could ask for anything more. We would absolutely recommend Dawg Days for a vacation in the Outer Banks!

  Owner response: Bandit, Boomer & Riley will be so happy to hear that their hard work has paid off! They make sure that the house is in top shape and ready for our guests...2 & 4 legged! They are always thinking of ways to add to our 4-leggers vacation experience! I'm so happy that you enjoyed our home and hope you keep our home in mind for future vacations!!! Have a great summer!

  Boomer and Bandit, you are some lucky dogs! We couldn't believe our eyes - all 12 of them. You have excellent taste - we loved all the doggie decor :-) Maggie tried out all the dog beds first thing. Kasey checked out all the rooms to figure out where the food would be and I (Chloe, aka The Princess) made sure that everything was up to my standards. Hey, the large crate... golly, we almost got lost in it! That backyard is awesome. We got to run from the deck to the yard without leashes. Woo Hoo... Mom and Dad seemed fasinated with the hammock and swimg when we weren't at the beach. Grandma homesteaded on the screen porch. Tell your People that they don't need to bring anything but clothes and food (especially yours). Mom and Dad said we are definitely going back there again and we can't wait.

  Owner response: Hi Maggie, Kasey and Chloe! I think it's pawsome that you had a blast at Dawg Days! That's what Boomer, Riley and I (Bandit) aim for! Hey Chloe, I'm not telling Riley that you are "the princess" because she is under the assumption that she is "the princess" from what our Dad says. We can't wait to have you and your 2-leggers vacation at Dawg Days in the future! If I have it my way, and so far it has been my way, we will be adding some more 4-legger items!

  My daughter and I wanted a quiet vacation near the beach with our dogs, but I thought that was an impossible dream until I found Dawg Days. Tammy was oh so gracious about allowing our four dogs and extraordinary helpful in letting us know what we didn't need to bring and where we might go to enjoy our four-legged friends. Whatever we expected our vacation to be, we were not disappointed and it far exceeded our expectations. The dogs had a wonderful time -- the yard gave them plenty of room to play and the area gave us all wonderful places to walk and enjoy our time together. The house itself was spotless and offered every amenity we could possibly want. I can't give Tammy and Tim kudos enough. They have created a home away from home to be enjoyed by all! We are counting the days until next spring when we can return and enjoy Dawg Days yet again!

  Owner response: Thank you so much for the review! I love helping our guests have the best time while on vacation! And one way is to allow all the 4-leggers that are in the family to go on vacation! I couldn't imagine not having ALL of ours with us while on vacation! I'm glad everything at the house was just right for you! We have a wonderful property manager and they take good care of our home. Can't wait to see the pics of your pooches! See you next year!

  I almost hate to tell everyone how perfect this place is for a vacation with your dogs. I’d love to keep it a secret just for us. But to be fair to the wonderful dogs who own the place we must tell you how great Dawg Days is. A) Multiple dogs not a problem – wonderful accommodations for the boys to run around safely with a fenced back yard and gated porch. Will even dug up a rawhide bone in the sand in the back. B) Everything you need – besides food and paper products I don’t think there was one thing we needed. Next year we will not be hauling the beach chairs with us. C) Location, location, location – this house is a perfect walk away from the beach or the lake. Every day the dogs looked forward to their multiple walks to fun and exciting places, yet it wasn’t so far that we got too tired to keep doing it. D) For the people too. With comfy furniture inside and out, the hot tub, and nice sleeping accommodations we were perfectly happy from morning, through nap time, to night. We give it top recommendations from us and our dogs. (So don’t go because we want it all to ourselves :)

  Owner response: Thank you so much for the great review!! We hope you can make it back to Dawg Days next year!! I'm always getting great ideas for Dawg Days from my pooches, Bandit, Boomer and Riley!

  We had a great time - the house was very dog friendly for our 2 Newfs and a Scottie with bowls and beds provided. We loved that in addition to the fenced in yard, the deck is gated so we could have the whole family enjoy the fall breeze. By the end of the three days of swimming in both the ocean and the lake (both which are within walking distance), our clan slept the entire way home and are still sleeping! The house was outfitted well with all needs including a fast WiFi connection that we needed even though we weren't supposed to be working and a nice TV when we needed to watch football.... We would definitely stay in Dawg Days again on any trip to OBX! Thanks Tammy for your hospitality! Ed and Julia

  Owner response: You are so very welcome! I have all your pics printed and ready for the book at Dawg Days! I thought I had all sizes of dogs covered for the dog beds but I might have to rethink this with Newfoundlands!!! Bandit, Boomer & Riley are also happy that their co-4-leggers had a wonderful time!!!!

  My husband and I have only been away from our three pups one time and it was a disaster. We made the decision that we would never vacation without them again, but it is next to impossible to find a place to take three large dogs, so we started to give up hope until we found Dawg Days. There really are no words to express our week. Our dogs moved right in and made themselves at home. I think they were more upset to leave than we humans were! Seeing them at the beach for the first time was so amazing and fun! One final note: the house is immacutely clean. Knowing that dogs are allowed to stay there, we assumed there would be some traces of that. However, there were no smells, spots, or anything that would lead you to believe that dogs had been there (except for all the doggy decor of course)! Dawg Days was the best vacation experience any of us have had and we are super excited to go back again next year! Thanks again, Dawg Days, for opening your home to vacationers of all sorts! Warm Wishes, David and Sara w/ Charlie (Golden Retriever), Peanut (Golden Retriever) and Tyke (Cocker Spaniel)

I passed along your compliments regarding the cleaniness of our home to our rental company..spreading the happiness!!!! We (our pups included) look forward to having you at our home next year!!!!

  We stayed in June, 2009, and found the house comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. Even our 120 pound Newfoundland was pleased. The nearby lake was a great spot for her, and the rest of enjoyed both that and the easy walk to the beach. Lazing around on the big upstairs deck, in and out of the hottub, was also a treat. I'd definitely go back.

  Owner response: I think we hit the top of the canine ladder with yours topping out at 120 lbs. I'm so happy you ALL had a great vacation!! Can't wait to put her pics in the album! Absolutely beautiful dog! We hope you vacation at Dawg Days in the future!!!
