After our pup enjoyed his day at the beach we needed somewhere to give him a quick rinse before we checked into our Airbnb. Lo and behold, we found this little gem. Parking is a bit difficult, but they have a back alley way where you can get lucky. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We had never taken our dog to a self-serve dog bath before. $20 for everything you need. You cannot beat that. Great experience! Would recommend it to anyone in the area.

Great staff, easy to use wash tubs. They also will trim your dog's nails. Easy to find but sometimes parking is an issue. Morning to mid-day is usually easier to find parking.
