We had a great stay at The Salty Dog. The space was very clean and well-kept, which made it easy to settle in and feel comfortable right away. Communication with the host was excellent—quick, clear, and helpful throughout our stay.One of the highlights was the location. It’s back in a quiet wooded area and just a short, easy walk to the beach, which made our trip even more relaxing and convenient.It had all the amenities anyone could ask for. Even for our K9. Overall, a wonderful place to stay. We’d definitely come back again.
