People running pet-friendly lodging do their best to accommodate pet owners, but they also rely on pet owners to be responsible for their animals. Sanibel, Florida, beaches require pets to be leashed at all times, and owners must pick up after their pets. Some beach cottage resorts have clearly outlined pet policies for guests to follow. All restrictions are designed to make an enjoyable stay for pets, pet owners and non-pet owners alike.
Beachview offers 22 cottages at a Sanibel beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Amenities include a pool, sun deck, laundry facilities and pay phones. Contact the resort prior to taking your pet there, and expect to sign their pet policy upon check-in.
Beachview welcomes pets of all kinds, but insurance liability prevents them from allowing pit bulls, chow chows, akitas, huskies, Dobermans, wolf hybrids, Presa Canarosos, rottweilers or Staffordshire terriers on the property.
