55This is a terrific property for both you and your pups to explore! Excellent location and very private. The pond is pristine and as advertised!! If your pooch likes the water, it’s a clean, safe and easily accessible fresh water spot with fish and a fountain keeping the water clean and clear! We brought our 16 week old Germans Shorthaired Pointer pup for an introduction to fresh water swimming. What a great spot for a first time! Megan the host is more than accommodating and is very easy to communicate with, insuring your pooch has a great sniff spot experience! HIGHLY recommend!! Will definitely be back to this gem of a property!Daniel B.

55My goal was to introduce swimming to my Rottie (they have to be shown that they can do it. So I accompanied him into the lake until his confidence took a hold. The grounds and water were GREAT! Where I live there are no swimming areas due to alligators… so this was IDEAL!!! We will be back!! Nanette P.

FAQ About Ocean Isle Beach Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
