Seaside Vacations' dog policy permits only one, "mature," house trained dog that cannot weight more than 75 pounds. (Note that some homeowners allow additional dogs that meet these specifications). A $125 fee, plus tax, is added to the rental cost. Pools, hot tubs and spas are off-limits for dogs. Since security deposits do not cover any damage caused by dogs, tenants must provide compensation. Nags Head has leash laws that pertain to its beaches. Contact Seaside Vacations at 866-884-0267 for more information.
