Soundside Dog Friendly Cottage w/ Hot Tub and Nearby Beach Access

SOUNDSIDE Avon – Get a jump on creating unforgettable family memories when you settle into SALTY FROG, a beautifully-appointed four-bedroom/three-bath home that places you close to both the ocean and sound shorelines along with quaint and convenient shopping and dining in Avon. From anglers to watersport enthusiasts to sun worshippers, this charming home easily fulfills your family’s wish list, including your canine companions, who are welcome, too.

Arrive at this newly updated cottage and discover a place that’s perfect for a single family who relish moments together as well as room to spread out. All of the home’s bedrooms are located on the second level: a king that shares a jack-and-jill bathroom with another king bedroom; as well as a queen room and a room featuring a pyramid bunk and a single trundle that share a full hallway bath. All of the bedrooms are equipped with iHome alarm clocks, a Smart TV and Blu-ray.

Upstairs, the bright and roomy upper-level great room features a vaulted ceiling, new laminate flooring and walls of windows that flood the room with natural light and 180-degree views. Tune into an episode of your favorite show on the 49-inch Smart TV or choose a DVD from a generous collection. The kitchen, featuring a double oven, separate icemaker and eat-at counter, has everything needed to prep a meal and serve it at the eight-seat dining table, the perfect place to capture the day’s stories and adventures. You can also capture Hatteras Island’s renowned sunsets as you relax in the soothing waters of the brand new seven-person hot tub, located on the furnished upper-level deck.

Frogs make lots of appearances in fairy tales, often as symbols of good fortune. Turn your fairy tale of a dream vacation into reality by booking SALTY FROG today.

Every single box checked for my family

My family and I have been New Jersey beach people since my youth in the 1970's. My wife and I enjoyed taking our children there until these past couple of years when it became unaffordable, and quite frankly, elitist. We sought what I always enjoyed at the NJ shore which is a quiet and relaxing place, but one with options for some low key activities. We found that here in Avon, and specifically at the Salty Frog. The solitude of it all, the shops, the beach, and the restaurant options were all exactly what I want from a beach vacation. There was nothing to do here but completely chill out.Now, the Salty Frog and my check in experience certainly set the stage for my excellent experience. My family traveled 11 hours to arrive, and of course, going through my mind was "what if it's not what it appears to be?", "what if something goes wrong?". Well, this was alleviated during our drive when Mandy from Surf or Sound began her communication with me which was reassuring since she was going to ensure our happiness. Finally, our arrival at the Salty Frog was an experience that I have rarely had. The house was true to the pictures online, completely stocked (beyond our cooking, movie watching, and game playing capabilities), and the amenities were ample. In summary:Fantastic and quiet location - easy beach access.Fantastic house.Excellence provided by Surf or Sound.We will be back...
