My experience
Property didn't look like pictures at all. I can get over the appearance, the showers only had hot or scolding hot water in all but one of the showers. It was super noisy, people right next to us were so loud and yelling at 7am.

Family Getaway
The house was a little older as listed, but it was really cute. Perfect for the family with pets. The pool was refreshing after a day at the beach and the teens really enjoyed it. JB was super friendly and helpful. We did have a minor incident when we first arrived that was able to be accommodated. We would definitely stay again.

Terrible, dirty, unsafe
The pictures of house are not accurate. We were shocked pulling up to house on the way it looked. The inside was dirty. The kitchen pans were not safe to use. The electricity had to be worked on the water was turned off to the whole house while we were there. We called the water company, they said owners had not paid bill. It does have a nice pool in back yard but the yard was disgusting so I didn’t want to use it. We had some people come over and they couldn’t believe it either. I would not recommend anyone to stay here. It needs a lot of work. It’s an old house but there is lots of maintenance like a broken window a hole in the floor that has nothing to do with the age of house just poorly taken care of.

Great Time
We all thoroughly enjoyed our time at Black Dog! It’s a cute older home that’s has been renovated! The pool was perfect for our group of 6. It’s a shared pool but the other house was not occupied. Black Dog was perfect for our 3 day weekend! JB was awesome! Very quick to respond & very helpful.

Disappointed
Very cute beach decor. But house was dark, had a roach problem and some of the plugs didn’t work, especially in the kitchen. Sleeps 8 but we were crowded with 6. Outside needed mowing and trash picked up. Overall we were disappointed.

Perfect for our Family
This cute house, close to the beach and everything is the perfect location. The house is set up with separate rooms each with their own bath/shower which was perfect for us. The common space was perfect for family game nights and dinners. The pool was mostly shaded and stayed cool- great option when tired of the sand. The grill was clean and easy to use. Overall this was unanimously the best family vacation we have had in years! Will definitely be coming back to the Black Dog.
