Perfect dog-friendly rental

We enjoyed our long weekend at Salty Paws and look forward to visiting again in the future! Our dogs loved the big backyard, and the host even provided bowls for them to use during our stay. Despite being so dog friendly, the house was spotless when we arrived, and the entry instructions were easy and provided well in advance. The house is in a great location, and we loved being able to walk to the beach, the grocery store, and lots of restaurants.

A perfect beach getaway

The beach house was great. We loved the location, the fenced in backyard for Panda, the Rosemary bushes and the enclosed porch room. We took walks on the beach in Nags Head and on Pea Island and at Nags Head Woods and Kitty Hawk Woods. The items we had at Mama Kwan’s, The Orange Blossom Cafe, Lucky 12 Tavern and Red Drum Tavern were delicious. Thanks Gia.

Recommend!!

Had a great stay at this very pet friendly, perfectly located, comfortable home. The fenced, shaded yard was perfect for the dog to be as relaxed as me. The walk to the beach was just a couple of blocks. The house was perfectly centered for activities both north and south of Nags Head. Lots of communication took the guess work out of check in and check out.

Pet-friendly property provided relaxing vacation...

We had a wonderful stay at this pet-friendly home in Nags Head! The house was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. It was such a bonus to be able to bring our dogs along—they loved it just as much as we did! There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and unwind. It was just a short walk to the beach, which was great. The owners were AMAZING and provided constant communication and great suggestions for the area. Next time we're in OBX, my family and I would stay at this property again! Highly recommend!!
