Pet Friendly Beach Houses in Cape San Blas Florida & Surrounding Area
Below is a list of pet friendly properties. Pets are more than welcome, but please receive prior approval before bringing your pet. Some additional fees may apply.
Vacations are meant to be spent with the ones you love! Now you don't have to leave your furry, four-legged friends behind. Bring them with you so everyone can enjoy their stay at the beach. Pristine Properties Vacation Rentals offers several pet friendly vacation rental units along the "Forgotten Coast" of Florida, from Mexico Beach to Cape San Blas and Indian Pass.
The white-sand beaches along Cape San Blas were recently ranked the #1 Dog Friendly Beach in the country by K-9 magazine. Man's best friend is allowed on all Gulf County beaches if kept on a leash except in the St. Joseph Peninsula State Park.
Pets are allowed in a select group of homes, from townhomes to single family homes, with a non-refundable $100 pet fee. Guests must have pet approved. Tenants with unauthorized pets may be asked to vacate immediately with no refund. If fleas are present after check-out, tenants may be charged an additional extermination fee.
Please take the time to review online our Pet Friendly houses, as you will see how beautiful and comfortable vacationing with your pet will be.
Pack a pet travel kit. It should include pet food, food and water dishes, dog treats, a blanket (or dog bed), a few doggie treats and a comb or brush.
If your dog is not used to traveling in a car, take him/her out a few times before the long trip. This is necessary so the dog can learn how to behave in the car.
Folding kennels, or crates, can be especially useful for long trips.
It is very important to keep your pet on a leash during your trip. Your dog could dart into traffic or become lost. In the name of preparedness, please have your dog's name, your name and address clearly marked on a dog tag alongside of its rabies tag. Your dog should wear this at all time, especially while on vacation. It is probably a good idea to also have the address of your vacation home on a third tag.
Please supervise your dog while in the pool area. Please remember that dogs are not allowed in the pools or hot tubs. Your dogs coat will absorb all of the chlorine.
Pay special attention to the signs of heat stress. Some of the signs are rapid pulse, glazed eyes, heavy panting, staggered gait, vomiting, deep red or purple tongue. Please consult a veterinarian immediately. In the meantime, you can move your dog inside, apply cool compresses all over his body and allow him to drink small amounts of water.
Your dog can get sunburned too! Apply sunscreen to the tip of his nose and the tips of his ears.
If the sand is hot to your feet, it probably is to your dog's paws too! Be very careful! Blisters on the foot can be very painful.
