I think my dogs had the best day of their lives here! We rented a kayak which was super fun for my dogs to chase. There’s a little dock they loved jumping off of. The space is clean, serene, and totally gorgeous. There’s even a basket of dog toys. We will absolutely be back, thanks again!

We had such a good time playing in the water with our dog. There were many little trails to explore and a very clean beach to walk barefoot on. It was very private and we were able to let our dog off leash for a bit comfortably. We plan on returning for another swim. We booked for an hour and a half and wish we had booked longer.

This is an awesome spot to cool off on a hot day! When we arrived, Anna explained where to park and how to navigate the area which was helpful. My dog had a great time running around in the sand and retrieving toys in the lake. I love that there are some trails to explore as well. We will definitely be back!

As stated, it is not fenced, so we brought our 50 foot lead and had a great time! The water felt great and Shea had a great time chasing the fishies. There are dogs that can be heard on the property, but they are fenced in and not visible. We will be back!

This was our first time using SniffSpot and also our first time at Bamboo Gardens. It was very easy when we pulled up, owner was there to greet us. Our dog couldn’t wait to get off of her leash so she could run to the water. She had a great time on the beach and around the property. It’s well-kept and clean. Will definitely come back again

Anna’s private beach was the perfect place to take your pups swimming on a hot day. The area was very clean and well taken care of, and an easy walk from the car. Anna met us when we arrived and showed us where to go. If your dog already loves to swim or is just learning, this is where you want to come! It was not fenced in however it felt private and we didn’t see anyone else the whole time. Will definitely be coming back!

We had a great time as did our pups. The house was very easy to find, clean, and a beautiful pool that was very easy for the dogs to get in and out of. 10/10 we will definitely be booking again. Oh and almost forgot to mention the beautiful view and gorgeous sunset.

What a fabulous spot for a change of scenery for our dogs! Beautiful yard, with breathtaking views! My dogs had an absolute blast, and loved sniffing around in a new place they've never been to. Matthew is a great host and left fresh cold water and a few treats for us. The dogs left happy, and tired, which is always the goal!

My girls had an absolute blast today at Matthew’s home! The yard is absolutely stunning, clean and has a beautiful view on top of being a paradise for pups. Both girls were so happy to cool off in the pool and then roll around in the grass to dry off, on top of safely being able to do the post swim zoomies. We would love to come back when we are in the area again !

Our pup loved it here! Small tip for humans who want to hop in the water; would recommend bringing water shoes as it’s a rocky beach.
