Quiet location with close proximity to shops and beaches. The house has everything you need. Alicia provided many helpful tips and conveniences to make our stay enjoyable. The large deck provided a safe outdoor area for the dog and us to enjoy the views across the water. A perfect and safe place to take your smaller dog - particularly if they usually live indoors with you. Our dog really enjoyed her stay and we did too! Alicia also has dogs. They are friendly and quite hilarious to interact with. Access note - the residence is upstairs, so may not suit dogs or people with mobility issues.

We arrived just in time to sit in the big green arm chairs and watch the sun go down by the warmth of the log fire. Was such a cosy, comfy getaway that exceeded our expectations. Beds were super comfy and Alicia was very responsive and helpful.

Alicia’s place was the best I have stayed in so far! If you own a dog, and they are like a member of your family, then you HAVE to stay here. 3 girls and their dogs headed to San Remo and had a fantastic time. Our dogs were catered for beautifully. Fully enclosed yard, beds, toys, blankets- Alicia had thought of everything. We were warmed by a lovely wood heater with magnificent views. It is really close to a fantastic dog beach, and so many dog friendly eateries. Alicia had already done the research for us, and we were able to take our dogs with us everywhere. San Remo and Phillip Island were very dog friendly. Great tip- take your dog to the Phillip Island Winery, and the Wild Food Cafe, both were delicious! Alicia was so kind to us, she gave us a later checkout, and the amenities she provided were beautiful. We are now sourcing where we can get the soap, shampoo and conditioner, they were divine. Will hopefully be back very soon to stay- thanks Alicia!

My dog and I had a thoroughly relaxing, quiet and pleasant four night stay at Salty Paws. Exactly what I'd been looking for. The host Alicia was very welcoming, kind and attentive, while being respectful of privacy. Her property is very cosy, well appointed, super clean and has every amenity you might need and more besides. It is well situated, with balcony views of the sea where you can enjoy outstanding sunsets from inside or outside. Alicia is able to provide excellent suggestions on walks for your dog and other invaluable local information, in addition to what's provided in the excellent info booklet she has produced for visitors. It's absolutely perfect for people travelling with a dog, with a very secure private garden area and even warm water, shampoo and towels to clean off your salty, sandy pooch before coming inside. I'm already looking forward to a future visit next year and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Salty Paws to family, friends or anyone! Thank you Alicia 🙂

We loved this little pet-friendly 2 bedroom cottage in San Remo. My favourite spot was in either armchair, looking out the corner window towards the water. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could image. There were even groceries in the pantry that you could help yourself to. Alicia has thought of everything. She was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this stay even if you don't have pets.

I can't say enough about this beautiful place. I honestly don't want to leave. Both San Remo and the accommodation were everything I was hoping for and more. We loved it so much that we extended our stay. Everything was clean and tidy, the beds and couches were so comfortable and the ambience was just so peaceful and relaxing. Also, the view was incredible. The host, Alicia, was so friendly and welcoming, full of local knowledge and nothing was too much trouble. It really is a home away from home. Another bonus was that my dog absolutely had the best time! Without a doubt, we will definitely be back. Thankyou so much Alicia for one of the best holidays ever ❤️ 😊

We really enjoyed staying at Salty Paws as did our dog . Coming from inner city Melbourne having morning coffee with a sea view was a treat in itself. Best dog beach we’ve been to only a 15-20 min drive away. The property was absolutely spotless and everything we could have wished for. Do yourself a favour and stay at Salty Paws

Alicia has provided a clean, comfortable and modern home. The accommodation is set in a quiet suburb close to San Remo shops and beaches. It is also a truely “dog friendly” accommodation because your dog is allowed inside the house. We loved the “calming rock” gift and Dindi beauty products. Will be back.

I really enjoyed staying at this little 2 bedroom place. Stayed in the top section of the property, owner living downstairs. So many homely details, loved all the plants and the deck is fantastic. Beds super comfortable and so clean. It actually felt like staying at a friends nice beach house due to all the things there. Only thing lovely big bath but the plug does not hold the water. Everything else excellent. Attention to detail for this gorgeous place. Can't wait to stay there again. The host is also a very lovely and accommodating person. 10/10

We couldn't be happier with our stay at Salty Paws. Alicia was so friendly and obliging, the cottage was beautifully appointed, it had everything we could possibly want or need, and the water views were amazing. Easy access to shops & restaurants, and the fact that we could take our little dog along was icing on the cake. We will definitely be back.

Alicia’s place was the best I have stayed in so far! If you own a dog, and they are like a member of your family, then you HAVE to stay here. 3 girls and their dogs headed to San Remo and had a fantastic time. Our dogs were catered for beautifully. Fully enclosed yard, beds, toys, blankets- Alicia had thought of everything. We were warmed by a lovely wood heater with magnificent views. It is really close to a fantastic dog beach, and so many dog friendly eateries. Alicia had already done the research for us, and we were able to take our dogs with us everywhere. San Remo and Phillip Island were very dog friendly. Great tip- take your dog to the Phillip Island Winery, and the Wild Food Cafe, both were delicious! Alicia was so kind to us, she gave us a later checkout, and the amenities she provided were beautiful. We are now sourcing where we can get the soap, shampoo and conditioner, they were divine. Will hopefully be back very soon to stay- thanks Alicia!

The host Alicia was very welcoming, kind and attentive, while being respectful of privacy. Her property is very cosy, well appointed, super clean and has every amenity you might need and more besides. It is well situated, with balcony views of the sea where you can enjoy outstanding sunsets from inside or outside. Alicia is able to provide excellent suggestions on walks for your dog and other invaluable local information, in addition to what's provided in the excellent info booklet she has produced for visitors. It's absolutely perfect for people travelling with a dog, with a very secure private garden area and even warm water, shampoo and towels to clean off your salty, sandy pooch before coming inside. I'm already looking forward to a future visit next year and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Salty Paws to family, friends or anyone! Thank you Alicia 🙂

We loved our stay at salty paws cottage. The location is close to main street and every day we walked our two dogs on the beach. Alicia was a great host, providing comfortable and lovely accommodation with lots of little extras like hand soap, body wash and coffee pods. We also love out stone present as a memory

The location was perfect for relaxation, being a quiet neighbourhood and the sea views were divine. Everything we needed was there , from the great coffee machine to the dishwasher (quiet also). The host has decorating flair that makes the pad so inviting. Would love to book in again!

We really enjoyed staying at Salty Paws as did our dog . Coming from inner city Melbourne having morning coffee with a sea view was a treat in itself. Best dog beach we’ve been to only a 15-20 min drive away. The property was absolutely spotless and everything we could have wished for. Do yourself a favour and stay at Salty Paws

Very spacious living area and deck with view of the ocean in a quiet location, well equipped kitchen and even a fenced garden. Walking distance to shops and restaurants and the dog beach. Perfect place for a getaway with your fur babies. We will definitely come back!

We had such an amazing time at Salty Paws cottage. The place was so bright, clean and spacious and Alicia provided so many little extras that made the trip so much more enjoyable. Location is great, just a 15 minute stroll into town and the views from the deck are absolutely breathtaking. Our puppies had the best time also and Alicia thoughtfully provided so many little extras for them also. We would definately recommend and would absolutely stay here again :)

We couldn't be happier with our stay at Salty Paws. Alicia was so friendly and obliging, the cottage was beautifully appointed, it had everything we could possibly want or need, and the water views were amazing. Easy access to shops & restaurants, and the fact that we could take our little dog along was icing on the cake. We will definitely be back.

Alicia’s place was the best I have stayed in so far! If you own a dog, and they are like a member of your family, then you HAVE to stay here. 3 girls and their dogs headed to San Remo and had a fantastic time. Our dogs were catered for beautifully. Fully enclosed yard, beds, toys, blankets- Alicia had thought of everything. We were warmed by a lovely wood heater with magnificent views. It is really close to a fantastic dog beach, and so many dog friendly eateries. Alicia had already done the research for us, and we were able to take our dogs with us everywhere. San Remo and Phillip Island were very dog friendly. Great tip- take your dog to the Phillip Island Winery, and the Wild Food Cafe, both were delicious! Alicia was so kind to us, she gave us a later checkout, and the amenities she provided were beautiful. We are now sourcing where we can get the soap, shampoo and conditioner, they were divine. Will hopefully be back very soon to stay- thanks Alicia!

We loved this little pet-friendly 2 bedroom cottage in San Remo. My favourite spot was in either armchair, looking out the corner window towards the water. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could image. There were even groceries in the pantry that you could help yourself to. Alicia has thought of everything. She was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this stay even if you don't have pets.

The view was beautiful and the location was ideal - a nice walk into San Remo or easy to head over the bridge onto the island to explore. Lots of thoughtful touches and a well appointed kitchen. Communication with the host was great. Would stay again (and bring the dogs next time).
