I have looked at the BringFido sites and the such......but also looking for RSForum recommendations, if you have personally rented a beach-side cottage (or even small inn/hotel) where a 40 lb. (would be 7 years old by then) mini-goldendoodle dog would be allowed. (Many places seem to limit to 25lb).
Caveat is that we would like to be able to walk our dog along the beach (on a leash during early mornings/evenings) and NOT at a dog park mixing with off-leash dogs. Many beaches do not allow dogs (for the obvious reasons, as not all dog owners are courteous/responsible.
Two adults/one dog who has completed the canine good citizenship course (but is NOT a certified service dog). Location/at-door parking/cleanliness/excellent reviews will be decision makers. Thinking two weeks for a winter escape. Would also like a community that has patio dining options where said dog would be welcome.
If a "maiden voyage" works out, it MIGHT become an annual winter escape...maybe....trying to figure all that out. I also notice many places require a month-long stay (understandable) during winter months. That "might" be possible for us, but would like to do a shorter trial run initially.
Any personal experience with such a place that you loved??
