Everything was good - the place was very clean. Had most everything you would need to stay there, but a quick trip to Kroger and we had everything that was needed for our stay. By the way, outstanding places to eat while you are there : The Restaurant at the marina has excellent food and McNeal's is absolutely delicious.

Perfect for a small family or anyone wanting to safely travel with their pups. Fantastic location; easily drive or very easily walk right to the ocean. Such a kind, welcoming neighborhood. We really felt like we were leaving home when we left!

Definitely a great place to stay!

We loved our stay at the Salty Dog. It was a great place to stay for two couples and two dogs. The dogs were able to run around in the large yard. The location was also fabulous! It was just down the street from the public beach so we were able to easily walk back and forth. The neighbors were all so friendly and the place was so charming and the price was reasonable!

Want a quiet location and a block to beach? Nicely updated place with all you need. Indoors is spacious. Our dogs loved the yard and watching the world from the deck.

Quick weekend getaway

We loved the house, proximity to the beach was great, and it has a really nice fenced-in yard. Perfect for us since we brought our pups. Unfortunately, it's located about 100 feet from a bar, so between that and the houses surrounding us blasting music it was little too much for us. I would certainly stay here again, maybe during the week and not a holiday

Absolutely Perfect!

Stayed the week and this house was everything we wanted and more. House has everything you need to cook full meals or was close enough to Seawall if you want to go into town and eat at a restaurant. Walking distance to the beach was great! The fenced in yard was the perfect thing for our dog. Plenty of room to roam and run! We have already made plans to come back for hopefully 2 weeks next Summer.

My only complaint is, says it has a beach set up. The wagon was not even useful for hauling the chairs and cooler to the beach.

Family vacation

Great property. The kids and our dog loved the big yard. Our middle son loved the loft area to sleep. Easy access to the beach. Loved having the outdoor shower to rinse off from the beach. If you have kids and are looking for something free to do,look up the sea turtle sculpture tour. There were 4 in the neighborhood alone,and out kids loved looking for them.

Quick Getaway

My wife and I really liked this property. Property was precisely as advertised - huge fenced yard for our dog, short walk to the beach and close enough to walk to the West End restaurant. Property was very clean. Only tip is for the outdoor shower - the hot and cold are reversed which is pretty common for outdoor showers at the beach so this is just an FYI.
