Perfect dog-friendly rental

We enjoyed our long weekend at Salty Paws and look forward to visiting again in the future! Our dogs loved the big backyard, and the host even provided bowls for them to use during our stay. Despite being so dog friendly, the house was spotless when we arrived, and the entry instructions were easy and provided well in advance. The house is in a great location, and we loved being able to walk to the beach, the grocery store, and lots of restaurants.

Pet-friendly property provided relaxing vacation...

We had a wonderful stay at this pet-friendly home in Nags Head! The house was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. It was such a bonus to be able to bring our dogs along—they loved it just as much as we did! There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and unwind. It was just a short walk to the beach, which was great. The owners were AMAZING and provided constant communication and great suggestions for the area. Next time we're in OBX, my family and I would stay at this property again! Highly recommend!!

Salty Paws June 2025

We had a wonderful week staying at salty paws! It was the perfect place for our family and two cava poos. The beach is walking distance, along with the grocery store and some restaurants! The location is perfect and the place was clean and stocked with everything we needed! It was so nice to have beach chairs available along with other beach items! If we are in nags head again, we will definitely return! The communication with the owner was awesome as well!

Recommend!!

Had a great stay at this very pet friendly, perfectly located, comfortable home. The fenced, shaded yard was perfect for the dog to be as relaxed as me. The walk to the beach was just a couple of blocks. The house was perfectly centered for activities both north and south of Nags Head. Lots of communication took the guess work out of check in and check out.

A perfect beach getaway

The beach house was great. We loved the location, the fenced in backyard for Panda, the Rosemary bushes and the enclosed porch room. We took walks on the beach in Nags Head and on Pea Island and at Nags Head Woods and Kitty Hawk Woods. The items we had at Mama Kwan’s, The Orange Blossom Cafe, Lucky 12 Tavern and Red Drum Tavern were delicious. Thanks Gia.

Awesome first family trip with doggo to the Outer Banks!

We loved this house, its location, its layout and its amenities! We traveled with our two teens and loved that they could have the upstairs bedrooms and bath while we enjoyed the lower level. The fenced in backyard and the proximity to the beach were awesome for our dog. One of our favorite spaces might have even been below the house as the swings, especially the double swing, were so comfy to read a book and we love a good outdoor shower! While others might have been excited, we were slightly disappointed that the screened porch that faces west is now a sunroom. The work was well done and the A/C unit kept the space cool, but we're suckers for a screened porch so the listing (especially the cover image that still features a screened porch) should probably be updated. While Gia was a gracious host, we had some confusion accessing the information about the house and were never able to find the "Welcome Guide" to understand some of the household quirks. Aside from that we really enjoyed our stay and loved how many beach items were available for our use (chairs, umbrellas, wagon, beach games etc.) to make our time on the sand awesome!
