This property was perfect for our pet, she didn't want to leave. We do feel that we missed out on the full potential offered, as our timing for our trip was not complimented by warm sunny weather. It was a great stay and we would love to visit again, maybe later in the spring or summer months next time.

Will definitely stay again. The house is exactly what we needed. The pool was amazing and only being a 2 minute walk to the beach on the private walkway make this hose the perfect place to stay.

Perfect house for us and our dog. Closed in deck and yard was perfect. The pool is amazing after a day at the beach. Beach is a very short distance, easy to run back and forth as needed. Beds were comfortable, house is very clean and in a great location.

Amazing location and even better place to stay

The Bow Wow Bungalow is perfectly located right off of the main road. It’s a short walk to the boardwalks which means a short walk to the beach. The property is well kept, the interior is clean and very comfortable. I would stay at this property every time I vacation in the Cape.

We loved our stay at the Bow Wow Bungalow. The house was super clean and the kitchen was well appointed. It was the perfect size for four guests. The short walk to the beach made trips back and forth to the house for lunch, etc. quick and easy. The lap pool was lovely.

Great place for a family weekend

The house was well cared for and the pool was amazing. It really is a 2-3 minute walk on a private (no speeding cars) walkway to the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

This place is in a great location! Walking distance to Scallop Cove and very continent to the beach. It was clean and just enough space for our group of 4. I would stay here again with no problem and the pool was perfect.

Perfect get away with the hubs and our dogs!

This is our second time staying on the Cape, our first at Bow Wow Bungalow. It was the perfect sized house for just myself, my husband and our 2 doxies. Very well maintained house and had everything we needed for a relaxing week away! Loved the lap pool! Would recommend this house to anyone looking for a cute beach house!
