About this property

Ruff Life - Classic Island Cottage with 4 Bedrooms and View of the Ocean. Dog

If this is the “Ruff Life” then who needs the Good Life? When you take your family, including your four-legged friend, on a much needed vacation to the beach, you'll find everything you need in this joyful 4 bedroom gem with a great sunroom. This home features an open floor plan, two queen bedrooms and two twin beds as pass throughs for additional guests.

Enjoy dinner, drinks and the beautiful blue Atlantic view seated at the high-top table in the front enclosed sunroom, or relax with the cook around the butcher block kitchen island. The open floor plan makes socializing a breeze in this 1 story bright, retro styled classic beach cottage whimsically decorated with lively paintings of furry and feathered friends and pops of color.

Your beach access is located directly across the street! Since this house is located on a corner lot, not only will you have loads of parking, you’ll have extra space for Fido to play fetch. When you have had enough sun and sand, come on back and enjoy a hot outdoor shower and hose off your pooch and all those toys.

Sweet Dreams - Linens included for all reservations 7 nights or longer

Two queen size rooms are located at the back of the home for peaceful slumber. Each room includes an additional pass thru space with a twin bed tucked inside for additional guests - what an innovative use of space! The shared bathroom may just be one of the cutest ones you will see on the island - with rolling barn doors and sea glass colored tile.

Ruff Life
We thought that the yard was enclosed for our pet, but was not. The street was very busy. We did appreciate the gated porch. The overall house was a nice stay. Did have a problem with the toliet making a high pitch squeal every 2 hours- but we lived with it. View of the ocean was nice.

Easter weekend stay at Ruff Life
Property is in a great location and has easy access to the beach. Even though it is not directly on the beach it has a great view of the ocean from the deck. Very dog friendly and our furry friend gives it five stars. Definitely will look to stay here again.

Very comfortable stay. Located across the road from a beach access which made things a lot nicer. Communication with Ward reality was excellent. They provided timely check in information as well as other informative texts. Would definitely recommend this to someone with pets. Very pet friendly.
