Welcome to your new favorite vacation home, The Salty Dog ReTreat at Kure Beach, NC! This spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath, dog friendly home sleeps 8 people comfortably in a quiet cul-de-sac less than 2 blocks away from the beach with private beach parking and access. Enjoy the covered decks on 2 levels and fastest WiFi for those working from home or e-learning with kids. Relax in the fenced-in back yard with a hot tub pavilion equipped with an outdoor bar, gas grill, and outdoor shower.
r>When you arrive at the Salty Dog Retreat, you'll have plenty of parking with access to 2 garages and 2 driveways (enough space for 4 vehicles). Inside the garage, you'll find a ping pong table and beach chairs. If you don't want to walk the 2 blocks to the beach, you'll have free parking and private access to the beach and bathroom onsite.

The first level will bring you to the 3 bedrooms, each with Roku TVs, Sealy Posturepedic mattresses and fresh linens (sheets, blankets, and bath towels), available to you at no additional charge. The master bedroom has a king bed with a private bathroom and access to the deck. The second bedroom has a queen bed and access to a balcony that overlooks the backyard. The third bedroom has bunk beds (full over full) that can sleep 4 people, with access to a second balcony.

The top floor of the home boasts an open floor plan living area for fun, family gatherings. Everyone can enjoy the Roku TV, gas fire place, books to read on one of the covered decks to to take to the beach, board games and a variety of DVDs. WiFi is available to use the Smart TVs to stream popular apps. (Guests must provide their own login information. Cable television is not available.) Enjoy a chef’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz counter tops, and nearly every cooking tool you’ll need. We offer both a drip coffee pot and Kuerig coffee maker, but coffee is not provided.

Up to 2 dogs are welcome (no dog fees!). Breed restrictions apply. Between April 1st and September 30th, the Town of Kure Beach does not allow dogs on the beach; however, Carolina Beach allows leashed dogs before 9am and after 5pm. You're able to take dogs on the beach at any time to Freeman Park and Fort Fisher State Recreation area.

    The house was welcoming, clean, well furnished and comfortable. We loved the fenced yard for the dogs and the location in Kure Estates. The host was responsive when we had a question beforehand.

    Great space with a quick walk to the beach! We loved the porches, you can hear the waves, so relaxing. Clean and comfy home, thanks for having us!

    We liked the house, but the photos on VRBO must be pretty old because the place could use some TLC.Many burned out light bulbs in living area and shared closet in two smaller bedrooms; lighting in hall bathroom very poor, missing/broken towel bar in half bath, refrigerator had a red light saying the water filter needed to be replaced as did the Brita water pitcher in the fridge.

    The house was perfect for our friend vacation. Unfortunately, it rained the majority of the time but the house was great to entertain ourselves. The location was great and the host was quick to respond. Would definitely stay again!

    Great little neighborhood, and close to the beach! We brought our 2 small dogs with us and they also enjoyed the fenced in yard and walks around the neighborhood and to the beach.

    I loved the location and the fact that it was pet friendly, but the carpet in the bedrooms were dirty. We didn't have but 1 kitchen towel and no dish rags. We only had enough bath towels and wash clothes for use of 1 time then we had to wash them. In other words not enough for a family of six. I didn't bring extra because it said it would be provided. Other than that we had a great time and enjoyed the open space of the kitchen and living room and making new memories.

    We had the BEST time at the salty dog. The home was well appointed, in a great area, and perfect for relaxation. The neighborhood beach access is a huge perk. The neighbors were all kind. Just about 15 minutes down the road is fort fisher state park beach - dogs are allowed 24/7 and so we took our pups there and enjoyed the waves. We had a great time and are so thankful for the space and place.

    Very fortunate to have the opportunity to spend a week at this property with our teenager and dog. The layout is fantastic with stairs on the inside & out so dog and humans can make their way around easily. Dog can roam from the top deck to the back yard freely and protected inside gates & fences. House was very clean, well stocked with paper products and linens. Appreciated the large kitchen, cookware, nice appliances, and decent selection of knives(rare! at a VRBO!) Neighborhood is quiet and very safe. Highly recommend!

    The house was in a great location. Found it to be clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The only thing I would recommend is bigger and more bath towels. Also some more tupperware to store left overs. The owner was great to work with.

    House was roomy and very convenient to the beach. We really enjoyed hanging out on the decks in the evenings and listening to the waves. We were grateful we could bring our 2 dogs. My only suggesting is replacing the very stained bedroom carpets with LVP flooring or other non-carpeting.

    We love traveling to Kure Beach for our summer vacations and decided to splurge a bit this time to stay closer to the beach. The location was perfect, and the house had beautifully renovated bathrooms. However, the carpets were extremely dirty, with stains in every room that seemed to be from dog accidents, and they were overall in very poor condition. The air filters were clogged with dust and debris, and when we tried to vacuum to improve the cleanliness, we found the vacuum was clogged with months of dander and animal hair. It's a shame because the property itself is ideal, but we won't be staying here again.

    The location was fantastic. The porch is dreamy, with the breeze coming off the ocean, even the hottest day can be enjoyed outside on the beautiful built in bench seating. Beach access was a bonus - I didn’t realize we had a pass to the private entrance. Made toting our beach gear so much easier - although the walk is easy, just about a block and a half. The owner is incredibly responsive and check in was easy-peasy. If you do stay here - please be respectful of the owner and the next guest and pick up after your dog. Would definitely stay here again!!!

    The property is very close to the private beach entrance, which was perfect. The fenced yard was handy with our two dogs along for the trip.
