Pet Friendly Travel, Lodging on Oregon Coast

(Oregon Coast) - It may be the largest growing segment of the travel industry: putting around with your pet while on vacation. It’s happening nearly everywhere. Lodgings around the Oregon coast are keen on grabbing that part of the traveler demographic, with an ever-growing number of hotel rooms and vacation rentals opening up their doors to the pooch.

Not all, of course, are on the pet friendly bandwagon. There are plenty of lodgings that don’t accept pets. In fact, Seaside has only a tiny handful of pet friendly places to stay. Still, those that do really go out of their way to treat Fido as well as mom or dad pet owner. And vacation rental companies usually have several homes in their roster that accept animals.

Here is just a sampling. See more Oregon Coast Lodgings, Vacation Rentals here
