Pet-friendly Ocean City hotel steps from the beach with no streets to cross
Amenities
The hotel is the only property in Ocean City with a fully pet-friendly policy that has no size restrictions on dogs. Guests have access to a seasonal outdoor swimming pool surrounded by a fence for safety and privacy. The front lobby provides daily pet treats for furry guests, and vending machines with drinks and snacks are available on-site.
Rooms
All rooms include a semi-private balcony that offers pool or bay views, with some efficiency rooms providing a full kitchenette with pots, pans, utensils, and a two-burner stovetop. Rooms have hardwood flooring to accommodate pets and simplify cleanup of sand or spills. In-room entertainment includes a flat-screen cable TV with a DVD player.

Ocean City Convention Center is a 7-minute walk from the hotel, and Assateague Island National Seashore is 10 miles away. Dining options such as Coconuts Beach Bar and Grill and Barn 34 are within a 5-minute walk.
Pet-Friendly
The hotel accepts pets of any size with a daily fee of $15 per dog, which is lower than many other pet-friendly properties in the area. Designated pet relief areas and a nearby alley provide safe, off-street spaces for walking dogs. Staff provide a curated list of pet-friendly restaurants and offer dog toys for purchase at the front desk.
Dining
A daily breakfast buffet is included for all guests at the sister property, Castle in the Sand, located one block away. Coconuts Beach Bar and Grill, a popular beachfront spot serving seafood and drinks, is within a 5-minute walk.

“I think this is a smart choice for travelers with pets, made even better by the surprisingly good food and drink options nearby. I especially like that it provides a daily breakfast buffet, and the location a block from the beach is ideal. It seems like a genuinely family-friendly spot, made more appealing by the ease of having your dog along.”
