Being pet-friendly was so appreciated. You can see the ocean waves rolling in and the dunes from the front window or by sitting on the large deck! The kitchen was well stocked with a nice coffee maker. Mike was quick to respond to any problems. The one downside was that the queen guest bed was really uncomfortable. It was soft and sagged in the middle. ##### Diane H. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel L.

The beds were too soft and we would have preferred a smaller sofa with a couple of upholstered chairs so we had options for sitting and watching TV. We also would have liked some directions for using the TV/Roku. We enjoyed the hot tub, the shower was good, the owner was quick to respond to our concerns. Overall, a good experience. ##### Kris K.

Being next to John's was a plus! The hot tub was great, we enjoyed it nightly. The neighborhood felt safe and welcoming. The location was central and easy to navigate to shops, restaurants and grocery stores. The host was prompt with responses. We enjoyed the deck, where you were able to hear and see the ocean.

Had an awesome beach week at the Salty Dog. The location is perfect. Tons of beach chairs, boogie boards and even spike ball are in the outdoor closet. Access to John’s next store for lunch and ice cream shakes was yummy and convenient. Wish they did breakfast!! The house could def use a bit of a refresh as some of the areas and pots and pans are a bit worn out but it didn’t affect our good times! Would stay again! And it’s pet friendly!!!! ##### S J.

May 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Small bungalow perfect for couple or small family Enjoyed the stay on a quick trip down to OBX. House was as advertised and overall a good value. Owner/manager was very good communicator. A few things of note. Kitchen is very small, only one cook please! Below the house, there is very little privacy at all from the neighbors hot tub and the restaurant next door. If you like your privacy, taking a shower downstairs will have you watching the neighbors in their hot tub. This could be easily solved by adding another two feet to the shower walls and frankly some privacy screening on the outside of the driveways. I will say the only thing that was disappointing was finding broken glass in the back yard sand area. I let the owner know and they said they would address it. Be very careful if you don't wear shoes back there or if you have pets. ##### Dave P. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bobbi Y. Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great little house! Having John's right next door was a concern before we got there but it was no problem at all. They have a good dolphin boat meal and the hushpuppies are really good! The house is a little small but was perfect for our family of 5 (would work for 10 people with double bunks in one room). It was very clean, and the bed linens provided were so cute and beachy themed! There are lots of beach toys, kites, corn hole, chairs and umbrellas, however, we opted to use our own umbrellas because we couldn't adjust the height of the two provided. There were 4-5 beach chairs that were useable but were starting to get a little rusty and missing the can holders. There's a new lounger and lawn chair available. The beach cart was difficult to get over the large dune, it kept wanting to tip because of the one small wheel on the front so I wouldn't count on that. This house is conveniently located close to The Wright Brothers Memorial, 3 of the 5 OBX lighthouses, and several great restaurants. We would highly recommend Tale of a Whale (early bird special 20% off is a great deal) and Miller's Waterfront restaurant if you are looking for a nice dinner. You can't go wrong with Duck Donuts and Surfin' Spoon either! OBX is definitely a beautiful vacation spot. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend this property to others! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/52749732-91dd-4921-8264-40b8a6432a9e-1750687825550.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/82885ca3-7c35-443c-ac3b-e9c20972809c-1750687806145.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c2cd5991-eef7-45f7-9c46-1de5d283e3b4-1750688113121.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4a3a4500-e82f-4588-9991-3e2ea994bad7-1750688059213.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bobbi Y.

Apr 15, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### great location. overall nice property overall we had a lovely trip. the cleaners did not clean prior to our. arrival. they showed up to clean 2 hours after our check in so the place was a little messy. lots of sand on the floors and bathrooms not clean but nothing egregious. the cleaners then showed up 1/2 hr before check out creating unneccessary pressure to our already busy morning as they were parked right next to us watching us try to pack up and load the car. it was uncomfortable. the place also just a bit run down. like the safety rails on the bunk bed are held on by zip ties which seems unsafe. also half the property lists to one side almost 3 inches lower on one side of the house. while its likely safe enough it does give off the concern that the house is going to fall down. at least half of it. the location is nice and despite a few hiccups overall a nice enough stay. ##### Christianne C.

We had a wonderful time at this property. I thought it would be hard for my elderly dog going up and down the stairs every time she had to go out but with her harness I was able to get her up and down no problem. The harness helped too for across the street to get her up the hill to the beach for an evening run. My kids had a blast but I think my dog even enjoyed it more. The place was just as advertised and in a great location. We left very early on our last day and my aunt inadvertently forgot one of her bags. When we unpacked we realized it was her bag but Mike had already contacted my shortly after we left to let us know we had left it behind. She will be receiving it today and we are so grateful. We cooked most of our meals and were able to find any kitchen appliance or utensil we needed. We loved how close the Target was, gas stations, and John’s next door had live music some nights. We ventured out to Duck for one of our meals to Coastal Cravings which was so delicious. I think anyone would love staying here! Any question or problem was easily resolved by reaching out to Mike. We look forward to another trip and would love to stay in this house again. ##### Heather M. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kris m.

We have a dog, and appreciated the gated deck so that the dog could hang with us on the porch. When we went down to see what was available for the beach I found a great light weight tent, corn hole Fridays, boogie boards chairs…Sven a Charcoal grill, with charcoals, lighter and starter. We don’t crate the dog because he is really chill but they even had a crate folded up under the bed. The location was perfect. Just over the hill to the beach. And the breeze off the water was amazing. The rest of VA was in a heat wave but we would have never known. The Hot tub was the best in the evenings. We aren’t really a streaming family so the tv was kinda lame. (For the kids, but mom loved not having to compete with the television. And they figured out how to stream their favorite YouTube channels.) we never really got the tv to work in the master bedroom. I think the internet just wouldn’t reach. Seriously we had a really great time and loved every bit of the house. (Word of caution: walking the dog on the beach is a pain for my dog. He is a hound mutt and chases waves. So I rather walk him on the road. That beach road has no sidewalk. And the shoulder is very narrow. I did find a few “hiking” paths. But they were VERY buggy.) ##### kris m.

Sep 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great stay! The beach is right across the road, the price was fair, and Mike was quick to answer any questions.Be sure to bring basics like trash bags, toilet paper, soap, and dishwasher soap. The house is pet-friendly, so there was a slight dog smell at first, but we adjusted quickly.A quick refresh of the throw rug and maybe replacing or removing the dark carpet in the master could help eliminate pet smells and make the space feel even fresher.We’d happily stay again! ##### Renee m.
