What does Luie Boone think of this rental? He woofed:
Okay, I haven’t been here yet, but I’ve been sniffing out the details. While my humans keep scrolling and scrolling over our next vacation sites, they should just paw-se and trust me, because I know that this one is the right vacation destination for us! It’s called Ocean’s Edge in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. From what I’ve overheard, it’s the ultimate place for humans and good boys like me to unwind, explore, and snooze in the sunshine. Imagine this: Real waves, salty air, and a ton of birds to bark at. I'll be sure to bark at them in honor of my kitty brother, Tobi. This coastal escape has a giant walk-out deck that leads straight to the beach. No leash drama, no car time, just dig-and-run freedom. That sounds about right to me! The house has got four bedrooms (aka four nap zones), fancy bathrooms, a massive couch for snuggling, and a fully equipped galley kitchen where "oops, I dropped some bacon" could totally happen. The living room has cathedral ceilings and a big smart TV. I’m more into squirrels than streaming, but I do support my humans choices, especially if there's snacks involved. There’s even a grill on the deck... for my future steak, obviously. So honestly, if my tail could type, I’d have booked it already, because this spot is paws-itively perfect!

Luie Boone's Pet Peeve about
Pointe Vedra Beach, Florida
There's just so much to love about this vacation destination, but there's one thing that's got Luie Boone's leash in a twist. He woofed:
We’re heading to Ponte Vedra Beach! I’m not sure where that is, but I heard “beach,” which means sand and waves. But, my humans are saying there's something else—something mysterious and slightly terrifying, which they call called crabs! I’ve never seen a crab before, but here's the word about them: They’re strange little creatures with pinchers, who live in holes and walk sideways... and they do it on purpose. Apparently, Ponte Vedra Beach is crawling with them, especially early in the morning and around the dunes. I’ve done my research, which most definitely did not cause me to drool all over my human’s laptop. I would never drool, even if photo evidence says differently. Anyways, here's what I learned: Crabs are quick, sneaky, and oddly confident. One poodle that I met with said that she barked at one for twenty minutes and that creepy, little crab didn’t even blink at her. So, I’ve got a master plan: Sniff everything, bark if it snaps, and if it charges—run like my tail’s on fire and act like I totally meant to do bolt. I don’t know what this beach vacation will bring, but I’m very ready! I'll bring my shark-print bandana for intimidation. Crabs of Ponte Vedra, consider yourselves warned: Luie Boone is coming.
