Salty Dog

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Salty Dog is a clean, cozy, unpretentious, and dog-friendly beach house located just a block from the beach. Take a nice long walk and comb the sand for shells, or curl up with a good book in front of the fireplace after a day of ocean fun! Salty Dog offers generous space and easy access to the sand, shops, and all the fun that comes with being in the heart of town! There's cable TV service and free WiFi for stormy days indoors, as well as a spacious kitchen, newly renovated bathrooms, and two bedrooms with a queen bed apiece to provide a restful night's sleep.

You're only a five-minute walk from Pacific Beach State Park - the perfect spot for picnicking, camping, fishing, swimming, clam digging, and beachcombing. Two blocks west, you'll find stellar coffee at Surf House Café, while Paddie's Perch restaurant is just a few blocks north.

This place is a joke. Nothing like the pictures. Half of the house is sinking. You can feel the slope when you walk into the house.

Great location

This is a cute funky little house close to the ocean. It was not crowded & was quiet at night. It was easy to walk the couple of blocks to the shore. It was centrally located for trips to HOH, Aberdeen & both, north or south shores. It felt roomy inside with a nice kitchen & laundry room. 2 bathrooms were also very convenient.

Will Not Return or rent with VRBO & Vacasa again

The electrical outlet the tv and router are plugged into sizzles, bad electrical. If the router isn’t plugged in exactly right (it’s loose) there is no wifi or cable. The wifi is spotty to none and an unsecure connection. TV has no instructions, no internet for streaming, very frustrating Plugs don’t accommodate laptop three prong plugs. Many light switches and lights don’t work There is NO thermostat, it’s always either either hot or cold Sheets on one bed seemed dirty. The house doesn’t feel clean overall, drawers smell It’s an older house but there are some really gross things in corners, back entryway, mildew smells. Main bedroom curtain is see through, that and shades do not block any light Blinds in living room go up but don’t come down The first night I called Vacasa for internet problems. They said they filed a ticket but we never got any response. The rep on the phone should’ve told us about the local contact. It was dark and smallish print so I didn’t read the letter on the door with her number. The pictures are deceptive Trying to communicate while making reservation was hard, I got a "late payment" email after I paid for an extra night and the messaging cut off the body of the reply. Too much work, too much hassle I won’t book a VRBO with Vacasa again, this was the worst VRBO experience I’ve ever had.

Comfortable cottage steps away from the beach

The cottage was comfortable and well equipped for our vacation. The beach was wonderful with lots of sand dollars, shells and crabs along the large tidal flat. And it was really just down the block from the cottage. The town of Pacific Beach is low key, relaxed and rustic. I would love to come back again.

Great family getaway

This home was comfy and cozy. Huge TV Which was great for the rainy day. This home is older, but it was very clean. It had a lot of kitchen items for our use. The refrigerator was great washer and dryer worked well. There’s even a little sitting area outside in the back that is private. If you want to grill. I was surprised this was open perfect for family on a budget. This home is in the middle of town about two blocks from the beach half a block from a little grocery gas store right down the street from the RV park. there is a coffee bar a block away. Very convenient location. We were very happy that it was open for memorial day we will be coming back again. The local manager reached out to check on us, which was a nice touch. Made this stay more personal. There were even some nice homemade soaps in the bathroom. Couldn’t be happier.

Salty Dog visit

The house was comfortable and very conveniently located close to the beach. The bathrooms were clean and modern. The only complaint was the lack of a non stick tub liner.The tub was very slick and could have used a grab bar as well. The kitchen had new looking appliances; the fridge was large and the the stove had double ovens. The bedrooms were comfortable, and lacked only screens on the windows. All in all we were pleased with the rental and would return.

Good value

Salty Dog was nice and clean once again. Good place to stay in "iffy weather"! You get what you pay for here, a clean, dry place after any weather the coastal beach can deliver. The local radio station, broadcast just a block away - (from the "Wacky Warehouse") sounds just is just like being at and experiencing the environment of Pacific Beach, WA! Thanks !

Salty Dog

Salty Dog is really a salty dog. Kitchen sink stinks, ceiling tiles are water stained and some are hanging like their ready to fall, dead bolt lock does not "dead bolt" it's totally useless, living room blinds are missing, furniture is ripped/shredded, kitchen floor is duct taped, kitchen chairs are folding chairs' kitchen table is filthy, no cover on the stove vent fan, outside back door does not close, yard is not totally fenced, and the floors are so uneven you can feel like you're going to fall. I think I need to be compensated for for being dumb enough to stay there. As it is I came home a day early. PLEASE do not believe the pictures they show. PLEASE do not stay in this house.

Nice location, not nice house.

Please don’t stay here. The location was good but the house was not. Over a hour and a half late to check in because of late cleaning staff. Originally 4pm, then they said 5:30pm, which became almost 6pm. Did receive a partial refund for that time tho. The sheets had hair in them, there was spiderwebs and dust everywhere, belongings from previous guests left in the closet. The blinds in living room were missing a significant amount of panels leading to zero privacy. The big bedroom was missing a curtain panel which had little privacy as well. The floors were all uneven through the house. The inner front door dead bolt was broken, only the bottom would lock. There was a leak in the window in by the washer and black mold was growing on the window. Will say that the floors and hard surfaces were super clean. The cleaning lady was nice. Had to contact support multiple times throughout the stay and was helped promptly each time by helpful associates. I’d rate customer service a 5/5 for the guy I spoke too. I was told I would receive a partial refund for the time I didn’t spend there because I left early due to house conditions and I am still waiting on it. The beach was so good. My favorite place to go too. I love it so much and it is a great location.
