Studies have shown that 78% of Americans travel with their pets every year. Over half have said they would rather travel with their pet than a friend or family member!

Salt Water Vacations is happy to accommodate you AND your four-legged best friend with comfortable pet-friendly vacation rentals. You'll find several local restaurants they can also go to, two spacious dog parks, and plenty of trails to explore while you're in town.
