I highly suggest this property for anyone coming down the shore with a pup and a family. We had a great time in this house which had everything we needed for a great week down the shore with some friends and family. Property was as advertised and we had a great time! We love finding a place we can enjoy with our dogs included (and spend an entire morning at IBSP that was clean and well appointed and well decorated.

Great place

This was a great place to stay. The property was easy walking distance to the beach as well as several eateries and shops. The house is a nice size, the appliances are all good quality and worked well. The outdoor area was very large and accommodating. I could not have asked for a nicer house setup than this. It was great! Thank you to the owner for letting us stay here.

Memorial Day Weekend 2022

My family rented for the Memorial Day weekend 2022. The home was amazing and the interaction with the owner was simple and extremely helpful. The home was very spacious and outside was great for entertaining. Close to the beach and beach area attractions. Perfect everything for a family looking to vacation at the Jersey Shore.

Family time

Salty Dog was amazing. Adorable house where everything possible was provided for us. We are seniors so we had some dietary needs and cooking in that kitchen was a joy . Perfectly air conditioned and the yard was a treat. Going back for sure.

Family vacation

We had such an amazing week at the salty dog! The fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs to hang out with us outside and not having to worry about them running off the property. The location was awesome too. We ended up driving to the beach but it was walkable if you prefer that! The parking lot by the beach had plenty of space which was really helpful. All our concerns and questions were answered promptly as well. Would def stay here again!

Wonderful Ortley Beach vacation home for family, friends, and grandpup!

We were surprised that this lovely beach home was even better than the photos! Very well thought out with great attention to detail! The owner was very responsive to any questions. Great location between the beach and the bay! Walkable to several restaurants, ice cream, cute stores and delicious bakery! Impeccably clean! Great outdoor set up for grilling & dining, and relaxing in the back yard! Loved having the beach tags provided as well as beach chairs and umbrella! Recommend very highly!!

Perfect size home

We stayed at The Salty Dog in early October and it was the perfect size for two couples plus an infant. We had family with children visit us one day and the back living room/bedroom was great for the kids to hang out while the adults had their own space in the front living room/kitchen. The outdoor space is wonderful with a firepit and plenty of seating, unfortunately it rained the entire time we were there so we couldn't use it. The neighbors are friendly and the location wonderful, just two blocks from the bay (with a nice playground) and a few blocks from the ocean. The house is clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The host provided all the linens which was a great help and was easily able to be contacted. Thank you!

Clean and comfortable and dog-approved!

Thanks so much for sharing your home with us! We found the property to be very clean and exactly as listed. The fenced backyard was an absolute joy for our dog to spend time lounging outside. It was wonderful that at any time of day we could find both sun and shade in different parts of the yard. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, and utensils. The laundry machines were a blessing. We found the beds very comfortable. While we stayed, we visited Rockafellas, Wasabi, Chef Mike’s ABG, Gigis, Mias, the Acai bowl food truck behind Wasabi, and Pedals and Paddles (for kayaks and stand up paddle boarding) and would recommend all. The view of the sunset from the park on the bay was breathtaking. Wonderful home, wonderful location! Thank you!!

Great house!

We really enjoyed our stay for 2 weeks at the Salty Dog. It was very easy to connect with Victoria the owner while we were looking at rentals early on in the process and she was very friendly and responsive. The house has everything you need including all linens and towels. Enough bedrooms to sleep 2 families and Victoria even provided a blow up mattress. The 2 full bathrooms were key and the outdoor shower was the best! Location is also great, a block from the bay and only a few blocks from the beach. We biked and walked everywhere. The Salty Dog also has a great fenced in backyard where we played corn hole and nice side yard for bbq’ing and dining. We were able to bring our little dog Max to this very pet friendly home. A perfect Ortley Beach vacation, thanks to The Salty Dog!

Sweet cottage house, located near the bay & ocean. Super clean and organized. Lots of big fluffy towels & nice bedding & 4 TVs. Kids enjoyed bunk bed. Lots of seating in the pebbled yard. Doggie friendly! Owner easy to connect with. Would definitely recommend. Spent a long weekend w family members and look forward to do that again. An active senior couple from Wash DC area.
