55This is our favorite sniff spot! It’s a fantastic safe spot for our dog Livie to chase tennis balls, roll in the grass and if we’re lucky a hello from the host, Sean! The beautiful water view is just icing on the cake. lori k.

55Had lots of fun, had the beach mainly to ourselves. Came across one individual with another off leash dog but they turned around and stayed on another area of the beach. Stairs are steep as mentioned in listing. Yard is nice as well and gave an opportunity for the dogs to dry off before getting in the car. Be mindful at low tide of dog paw pads potentially running on barnacles and such. Host was very nice too! Ally F.

55Our pups had a wonderful time, both in the yard and on the beach! We did not encounter any other people or animals on the beach, which was a blessing for our anxious dog. Thank you for sharing the space with us - we will definitely be coming back again soon! Andi T.

55We had a blast! The backyard is very spacious with plenty of room to run around off-leash without any worries. And the view is absolutely stunning. Going down to the beach was a bit steep (there was a section of narrower steps that my GSD was a little nervous about, but she did just fine). If you have an older or small dog, you may have to carry them part of the way. The beach was so nice and secluded -- we had it all to ourselves! It was a great opportunity to teach our reactive dog how to swim for the first time without any distractions. She absolutely loved it! We will definitely be back. Amanda B.

55This was my first sniffspot experience and my dog and I both had a blast! The house was easy to find, the numbers are super clear on the side of the house. The yard is well maintained and the perfect size for playing fetch or just letting your dog sniff around and do their thing. The views from the yard are absolutely stunning!
We went down to the beach when the tide was an 8.5 and the water was just barely touching the bottom of the stairs. There was still a section of beach on either side of the stairs that was about 5'x10' which was plenty of room for her to dig and shake before jumping back into the water. The waves are strong but my dog is pretty big (100+ lbs) and she didn't have an issue. It was a perfect way to spend part of the afternoon and we will definitely be booking again! Sarah H.

55Another great visit. Max knows the turn into the driveway now and gets excited for his romp and roam time. So many toys to choose from! He was worn out by the end of our time today, started falling asleep standing up, and passed out as soon as we got home. Thanks, Sean!Bev S.

55It was great to have a much needed break during our drive to our camping spot and this Sniffspot hit the mark. There was plenty of room for our greyhound to run and lots of greenery for our beagle to sniff! The site was easy to find and our hosts came by to make sure everything was okay. Thank you, Tina!Marie H.

55Make sure all 4 gates are closed before letting your dogs off leash! This spot was beautiful with many lawn daisies and plenty of room for zoomies and good sniffs. Some areas of the ground are a bit soft, but not muddy, so wear good shoes.Brianna B.

FAQ about our Port Ludlow 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Port Ludlow area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 237 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 48 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
