Ocean Views from Every Room! Steps to the Beach! Beach Block home!

The house is great! Literally everything is there from kitchen items to kids games and beach toys. The house is decorated so nicely and us the best ocean breeze as it is just steps away from the beach. This is our 2nd year staying here and we hope to make it a tradition since we love this place. Tink (owner) is so hospitable and gave us some ideas on things to do when the weather wasn’t cooperating.

We LOVED our stay in this home. Too many wonderful amenities to list them all, but the front porch was amazing. Front and back porches had sturdy gates, so children and dogs that run out the door are still safely contained on the porches. The front porch is spacious and shady all day. Room for kids to play, a beautiful place to eat breakfast or play games at night. It was so hard to leave it. The tap water tastes good; no need to buy water like at some southern beaches. Just a few steps to the boardwalk. There is a bathhouse right at the beach access by the house. The ocean was wide and flat, with a tide pool, and a sand bar; wonderful places for small children to play without being in rough surf. The kitchen was well stocked, Dawn and a sponge provided, handsoap in all the bathrooms, retractable gates to contain dogs or children in or out of the kitchen/dining area. A wonderfully long dining table to seat 12 people. Chairs for 14. Large comfy living room; large coffee table big enough for games with 9 gathered around. Fenced grassy yard. Boogie boards, sand toys, umbrella, canopy, many assorted beach chairs, bikes with locks, all available for our use. Owners were very responsive, and kind. I can't say enough good things about this rental. We miss it already!

Our large extended family enjoyed our stay at Lucky Dogs. The house feels more like a well-loved family home than a sterile vacation rental, with art, interesting color choices, and even a well-stocked little library tucked away in an alcove at the top of the stairs. The home is big enough for everyone to sleep comfortably, the hosts are friendly, attentive and readily available, and the beautiful beach is only steps away. There are beach chairs, bikes, beach toys, a great outside shower and a small fenced backyard with flourishing tomatoes that the host urged us to pick and enjoy (which we did!) The house is beautifully decorated, but -- warning -- not childproofed. Our group included several babies and toddlers, so one of the first things we did was to move many breakable decorative objects to higher shelves to keep them out of the kids' reach. The kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped with all the plates, cutlery and cooking implements you could ever ask for. The downside of this is that the cabinets are already so full that there wasn't much room for a week's worth of food for a crowd. If I could recommend any changes in this beautiful home, it would be to add some kitchen shelves or cupboards for food -- and maybe some hooks near the doors for bags and jackets. But those are small things. It was an excellent place to spend time together with family.

The place is beautiful! The location is amazing. Everything you may need and then some is already available at the home. From bikes, a wagon, beach toys, etc to batteries- this place has it all. The beach views from every window and deck is so nice. The beach is so close that the kids didn’t bother to bring shoes. The rooms are all nicely decorated as well as the room for the pups. Midway of our stay, we decided to book for next year since everyone in our party loved this home. We can’t wait to go back!

This was our third stay here and we loved it just as much as last years. The house is very clean and well maintained. Met the needs of our 15 person clan perfectly. We hope to be back!

The bedrooms were spacious. There was plenty of dishware & silverware for our group of 15. So nice to have beach chairs and beach towels included. I loved the decor and the large front porch. The beach was close and we never ran out of hot water. It was a win all the way around!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful home for our family reunion, and it was an experience we'll never forget! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning views of the ocean visible from every room. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from the beach, making it incredibly convenient for everyone, from kids to grandparents, to enjoy the sun and surf at a moment's notice. The house itself is beautifully maintained and spacious, easily accommodating our large family without ever feeling crowded. Each room is tastefully decorated with a coastal theme that perfectly complements the breathtaking seaside views. The common areas were perfect for gathering and making memories, whether we were cooking in the fully equipped kitchen, dining together, or lounging in the comfortable living room. We loved spending evenings on the deck, listening to the waves and sharing stories. The proximity to the beach meant that morning walks and sunset strolls were a daily delight. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, such as beach chairs and umbrellas, which made our beach days even more enjoyable. In addition to the fantastic amenities, the hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful, ensuring that our stay was nothing short of perfect. The Salty Dog is a true gem. It provided the perfect setting for our family reunion, combining luxury, comfort, and an unbeatable location. Highly Recommended!

Great property for large groups, and very dog-friedly! The house is very well kept, just steps to the beach, and the hosts are very warm and helpful. Highly recommend!

This house is the perfect setting to spend time with your family. We had 3 generations of siblings, cousins and babies, so the 2 minute walk to the beach was a blessing. Each family had their own bedroom with a bath on each level plus two more on the ground level. We all get a night to cook for one another and the large dining room table accommodated us nicely. Besides the beach the covered porch with the constant ocean breeze became the place to gather from early morning till late in the evening. Every room had a view of the ocean. This section of NJ does not require beach tags and yet the beach was still remarkably maintained. We enjoyed the use of the bikes and the small patch of lawn in the back was the perfect place for the toddlers bouncy house! Another huge plus is that all linens and towels are provided. Also, boogie boards, skim boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, 7 adult bikes are all here saving tons of room in your car. Having ample parking for 6 cars was also a blessing. We had one small lap dog and there is a dog park right across the street. This is not the newest house you will rent but it is one of the best. One fact you should know is that there are lots of steps, it is a 3 story home. This also allows for the adults to have some time without disturbing the sleeping kids. We obviously loved this house as it is the second time we have rented here. You and your family will love this house too!

This was our second year staying at Lucky Dogs Beach House. We love the house, all the amenities and especially the location to the beach! Jim and Tink are wonderful hosts and always ensure that we are satisfied with our stay while there. We look forward to future vacations at Lucky Dogs!
