Dock, Water Views: Dog-Friendly Ocean Shores Home!

What guests think

At Dock, Water Views Dog-Friendly Ocean Shores Home!, guests praise the peaceful canal-side setting with a private dock, wildlife views, and a well-equipped, comfortable space that works well for quiet getaways and easy access to beaches and town.

Many like the clean interiors, thoughtful games, and kayaking access, with several noting smooth check-in and communication. Recurring drawbacks include no laundry, the absence of an outdoor grill, and safety concerns about missing handrails on the porches and steps; comfort feedback varies on mattresses and the sofa.

No issues with check in. Kitchen was great until we found there were no microwave or oven safe bakeware (could use a pyrex baking dish or two and a set of pyrex bowls).Railings really are needed on both front & back porches for safety.Access to laundry would be AWESOME!Loved the light and brightness, the ample room sizes!

The cottage is well placed for kayaking both the Grand canal and Duck Lake. We observed a lot of wildlife and enjoyed chatting with many friendly people along the way.

We really enjoyed our getaway at this lovely cottage. Everything clean, new, and well designed. The cottage is nicely equipped and we found everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It happened to be unusually hot weather and we were very grateful for the added bonus of air conditioning. I only wish we had brought a canoe so we could take advantage of the dock and canal access. Loved hearing the frogs peeping at night!

No issues with checking in, everything worked and the house was easy to find. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. It's a newer place and the furniture seemed newer as well. The outdoor furniture was a little worn but completely functional. It would have been nice to have an outdoor grill, just a suggestion. We really appreciated that this place was dog friendly. Overall the stay was excellent and we would return.

Easy walks to wildlife and other recreational opportunities. Short drive to central business areas and restaurants. Watch deer and assorted waterfowl from your windows. Home backs up to the extensive canal system allowing you to launch your kayak/canoe right from the private dock.

Very clean cute small home in nice location. Cozy home for no more than 4 people. Kitchen was well equipped, I would suggest that there be some tin foil or parchment paper so that baking sheets are easier to clean-up.Couch wasn't very comfortable for a long sit and dining room table chair need cushions. Summer months I could see this not being an issue as you would be outdoors, however in the rainy winter months where you spend time mostly inside playing games and watching tv, improvement in comfortable places to sit would be good. Beds are firm and pillows are tall.Easy access and tech was well placed also good parking. Both front and back stair decks could use handrails for safety.

Lovely cottage stay in an area we had yet to spend much time in despite our many visits to Ocean Shores. Located at the quiet end of the road near Damon Point and the Coastal Interpretative Center and away from the main business area which may or may not suit your fancy. Beach access just a few minutes away. Check-in and communication was well done. Everything you would need-except maybe a BBQ-to enjoy a self contained getaway. Great kitchen, tons of rainy day games for kids and adults, and an excellent backyard for private relaxation. The dock is a pretty place to spend time or launch a kayak from. Two important points. One, the mattresses, to us, were at two ends of the spectrum. One being far too soft and the main bedroom mattress being far too hard. Be prepared. And a note to the owners/management. Both shower stalls are in definite need of some type of slip resistant matting added to them. The floors are a safety hazard as is.

Dirty. Rugs and floors not clean. Couch covered in white dog hair. Extra blankets on beds were also covered in dog hair. Consider bringing your own pillows and towels. Only one towel per guest provided. Pillows are bulky and too tall for neck comfort. The dock are is great.

Property is really nice. Would recommend vacuuming under the couch, push it out of the way and vacuum underneath. The seal under the freezer door was coming loose so i did my best to reconnect it. Beds seemed to be two parts of one bed, where the main suite had the box spring and theb2nd bedroom had the top to it. Sofa is a little uncomfortable would recommend something to support leaning back on. Screen doors on both sliders stick. Other than those things it was pretty good. Well situated. Good property and very quiet. The dock in the morning is amazing. Would definitely stay at your property again.

This is a lovely cottage. Very clean. It's far enough away from town to be quiet but close enough to get there quickly. It's a very serene setting. I loved sitting on the patio looking at the canal and watching the wildlife. I do wish that I had been able to have access to a washer and dryer.
