Where you should go on vacation with your pet

When traveling with your pet, it can be difficult to find quality accommodation for your vacation. One of the best options is to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Vacation rentals give you space, privacy, and convenience that just can’t be found in hotels, and they’re found throughout North America in some of the best places to travel with your pet. If you’re looking for vacation destinations that are pet-friendly, the following list can provide places where you and your pet can have a great time while taking in the local scenery and enjoying what the area has to offer.

1. Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

This southern island is one of the most dog friendly areas in the United States. Accommodations are plentiful and there are many rent by owner options that allow vacationers to save money over hotel options while also offering plenty of space and pet friendly areas for your dog to play. On the island, there are many restaurants that offer dog friendly decks and spaces where you can have a meal with your furry friend. There are also areas of the beach that offer access for pets and many parks and walking areas for exercise.

2. California’s North Coast

The state of California’s beautiful northern coast offers a lot for those seeking a pet friendly vacation rental, many of which are rent by owner, along with lots of things to do with your pet. There are many pet friendly beaches where dogs can be either on or off leash. Walking trails and beautiful parks offer ample opportunity to take your pet for a walk and take in the gorgeous California coast line. Choosing a coastal vacation rental in the area will allow you unlimited access to beach walks with your pet.

3. Acadia National Park in Maine

Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park are two of the most pet friendly vacation destinations in the Northeast United States. If you’re seeking a pet friendly accommodation, there are many rentals in Bar Harbor, Ellsworth and other coastal areas to accommodate you and your pet that offer more space and freedom than hotel lodging. The area is home to endless walking trails, beautiful coastal views and many other friendly travelers with their pets. The ferries that take visitors from Mount Desert Island to the secluded and beautiful Cranberry Isles allow dogs and offer some great walking opportunities.

4. Tofino, British Columbia

This beautiful surf town on Vancouver Island is a dog-owner’s (and a dog’s!) paradise. Ocean-front properties are a plenty, with lots of space for our furry friends. It’s a common destination for pet owners in BC, so many restaurants are happy to have pets on the patio – or you can choose to get takeout from their famous food truck – Tacofino (which has now opened multiple locations in Vancouver) and enjoy it on the beach.
