Beautiful stay on Cape May Point

We stayed a week on the point and the Salty Dog offered everything we needed. This stylish bungalow is comfortable, clean and peaceful. We really enjoyed spending lazy afternoons on the screened in porch and is an easy few minutes drive to all that Cape May has to offer. One of the best points is that you can walk a block down the road for easy access to the beach, including sunsets without the crowds of other beaches.

Amazing amazing amazing!

My husband, two-year-old kid, two-year-old dog, and I stayed at the Salty Dog for our annual trip to Cape May Point. The house was absolutely perfect- adorable, well-equipped, great location, and the most comfortable beds we've ever had In a rental! Sharon was super responsive and available to answer our questions, but also gave us the privacy we were looking for. We can't wait to go back next year!

Perfect Cape May Point Cottage

We enjoyed every minute of our stay in the Salty Dog! This cottage is completely renovated, beautifully decorated and had all the modern necessities for our family of 3. The location is perfect. We rode our bikes each to the beach which is 1 block away. We also took advantage of the quiet streets, the nearby lakes filled with natrual wildlife and the lighthouse. Sharon and her family, who we had the chance to meet, were very welcoming and friendly. If you have never been to the Point, I recommend a visit while staying at the Salty Dog!

Quiet and relaxing beach weekend

My wife and I spent the weekend with our two dogs at the Salty Dog and had a wonderful time. The neighborhood was very quiet and we loved being within a short walk to the beach. The house was a perfect size for us and had everything we needed. We especially loved all the great books that we found around the house. We also really appreciated the beautiful slate-walled bathroom with excellent water pressure in the shower. The yard had a lovely mix of flowers, berries, and trees that provided a nice wild jungle kind of feel that we personally prefer over more manicured lawns. Sharon was very friendly and responsive, and even though we had everything we needed, we felt she was available in case we needed anything else. We look forward to coming back to Cape May, and we certainly hope the Salty Dog is available when we do.

We had an amazing stay at the Salty Dog! The location was perfect and the space was more than enough for our group (three adults and one dog). Being so close to the beach was a huge advantage. Sharon was an excellent host and gave us plenty of recommendations for fun things to do in Cape May. We are looking forward to visiting again!

Absolutely Delightful!

Our stay at The Salty Dog was absolutely wonderful! It was a perfect little cottage with a gorgeous screened in front porch, wonderful bedroom sizes, a simple and well equipped kitchen, comfy living room and lovely property. We walked to the beach every night to watch the sunset, walked to the pond to see the swans, and to the lighthouse for a tour. Nearby Beach Plum Farm is a can't miss. We loved our stay and can't wait to return to this perfect spot!

Great Location some problems with stay

This was a perfect location for us; dog-friendly & walkable to beach but were very disappointed in a variety of ways. Outside looked nothing like the pix; unkempt & overgrown. Inside had broken bathroom fan (not fun with a bathroom and home of this size), broken window latches, and and inadequate security (simple door lock only and no ability to lock two windows). I personally prefer window coverings in my bedroom and bathroom; note that there are none. Inadequate bedroom lighting. Had a few sheets of TP and paper towels and 2 oz. of dish detergent for our 5 day stay. Sharon did bring some over the net day. Bring colander for cooking and extension cords if you read in bed. Expected more based on reviews and price point. Also note there were skunks eating the porch pumpkin on the steps. We saw the skunk on the second day of our stay on the steps.

Adorable and cozy

Perfect size cottage and location. Short walk to the beach, 15 minute walk to lighthouse, surrounded by tall trees and quiet. Wonderful screened porch that runs the length of the cottage for reading, eating, and socializing. Small kitchen is adequate for those of us who like to cook. Comfy beds, sofas and chairs. Take your own sheets, pillowcases, and towels, but there are plenty of pillows. Lots of windows let in natural light. Wood floors. Outdoor shower is private and convenient. Host Sharon is friendly and responds immediately if you have questions. We will definitely return to the Salty Dog!

Great weeekend getaway at Salty Dog

We had a nice weekend in Cape May Point at the Salty Dog. The cottage was cozy and clean with a well equipped kitchen for a home of this size. Both beds were comfy and the screened in porch was great. The bathroom is pretty small, but it worked fine for us. We look forward to a return visit

Cute cottage in peaceful neighborhood- walk to beach

Cottage was just what was needed for a relaxing week at the beach. Small but cozy and tastefully decorated. We had everything we needed for our trip. Kitchen was small but had the necessities: coffee maker, fridge, microwave, etc... Sharon and Peter were always there if we needed them. Loved sitting on the porch, reading and having our morning coffee. Beach is superclose walk and convenient to so many things (Bird Observatory, Lighthouse, Lake Lily, WWII tower, Beach plum farm, Sunset Beach). Great place to bike ride and enjoy the sea! We will be back!

Airy Cottage by the Beach

We loved everything about our stay! The cottage is a short walk to the beach on a quiet, wooded lot with wildflowers. The generous porch had comfortable chairs and a table which was great for rainy days. The cottage was impeccable, beds were comfortable, and there were nice design touches throughout. The neighborhood is quiet and charming with plenty of pretty gardens to admire on the walk to the beach.

Cute Place

This is a cute little cottage. The kitchen and bathroom are nicely updated. We also appreciated the Nest central air conditioning. It is located in a nice, quiet area and we enjoyed riding our bikes around the neighborhood and Lake Lily nearby. It is also a short walk to the Cape May Point beach. It is a VERY small place, and there is not a lot of storage space. For example, the 2nd bedroom doesn't have a regular closet (only shelves which were already filled with extra bedding) and no dresser. Also, the bathroom could use some shelves or something to put your toiletries on; I found it difficult to even get ready in there. Also, the kitchen has very little counter space, so if you plan on cooking anything, it will be a bit of a challenge. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated that we were able to bring our two dogs. We were very impressed at how clean the house was upon our arrival, which is not always the case with dog friendly rentals. If you are a small family and travel light, you will be comfortable here.
