Private parking, pet friendly (even though we didn't take the dog after all), communication with host was good, amazing stock of items for use, no beach view but very close and easy to walk, since cleanliness issues

thank you, Natalie
We had a lovely stay at this beachside cottage. Comfortable beds and plenty of space for the family. Our dog enjoyed many beach walks and the large garden. The dog wash station was great!
Really lovely home and garden for the family and our Daschund.Very relaxing and wonderful location. Owners very responsive and helpful.Highly recommend The Salty Dog Beach House.
Lovely, well kept and clean property. Very suitable for families and pet friendly. Basic toiletries provided and fully decked out kitchen. Very comfortable beds. Would stay there again and recommend to others.
Comfortable stay for our Easter break. Great location for walks along the Esplanade. Very much a dog friendly rental with a good secure yard, doggy treats and lots of doggy decor.
Close to the beach with lovely enclosed front garden ideal for dogs. Close to all shops and cafes. Lovely long beaches to enjoy and stroll along and take time out.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as did our 2 Cavalier King Spaniels. Everything one could possibly hope for was available to us and we have no hesitation in recommending the venue.
Oh goodness, this house is loverly our pups loved it and Natalie is such a loverly person! Highly recommend.

Thank you so very much Nathan. We are so happy to have hosted you, Gabrielle and your pups. I'm sure they loved running around the big yard. Grateful for your kind words. Thank you. Welcome again anytime.
The house had everything we needed and it was so nice to have the port-a-cot and high-chair all set up and ready to go. Beds and furniture all very comfortable. Great to have the large secure yard for our dog too! Thanks again for a wonderful stay.
The salty dog beach house was a perfect base to visit the surrounding wine country. It was close to all amenities, food outlets and the BEACH.
The house had everything plus more than you needed for our holiday. We stayed a week and wish it had been longer.
