Traveling with your furry companion is a wonderful experience, and finding the perfect pet-friendly accommodation makes it even more enjoyable. If you’re planning to stay at one of our pet-friendly condos in Destin or Miramar Beach, we’ve put together some essential tips and guidelines to ensure your vacation goes smoothly for both you and your pet.
From condo rules to pet-friendly spots, we’ve got you covered!
Tips for a Stress-Free Stay with Your Pet
- Ensure Your Pet is Well-Groomed and Trained Before bringing your pet to one of our condos, it’s essential that they are well-groomed and well-behaved. Your pet should be accustomed to traveling and able to stay calm in new environments. Ensure they are current on vaccinations and flea preventative treatments to avoid any issues during your stay.
- Familiarize Yourself with the Condo Rules Each pet-friendly condo comes with its set of rules to make sure everyone has a pleasant stay. Here are a few of the important ones:
- Limit on Pets: Most condos allow up to two pets, but please check the specific unit for any exceptions.
- Weight Limits & Breed Restrictions: Some condos have weight limits or restrictions on certain breeds, including aggressive breeds. It’s essential to check these guidelines when booking.
- Leash Rules: Dogs must remain on a leash when outside the condo, and no exceptions will be made. Be sure to bring a leash when walking your dog.
- Proper Disposal of Waste: Always have a bag ready for your pet’s waste. Feces must be bagged and disposed of in the designated dumpsters. Failure to do so can result in a fine of $100.
- No Pets on Furniture or Beds: Pets should be kept off furniture and beds. If you need, bring covers to protect the furnishings.
- Noise Control: Excessive barking or nuisance behaviors will not be tolerated. Please ensure your dog is respectful of the peace and quiet of other guests.
- Pet Areas: Be sure to walk your dog in the designated pet areas. Please avoid areas like the pool or beach where pets are prohibited.
- Respect the Condo Environment Make sure to keep your pet on their best behavior during your stay. Avoid leaving your dog unattended on the condo balcony, and always keep them leashed when outside. Additionally, be mindful of your pet’s behavior inside the condo—vacuums are provided to help clean up any pet hair, but we ask that you bring covers for the furniture to prevent any damage.
- Be Prepared with Documentation We may ask you to provide the most recent vet check-up documents in case of emergencies, so it’s a good idea to keep a copy with you during your stay.
