Port A Happenings

Dog Policy

1. We accept only good dogs. Because we are dog friendly, we often have several families staying with dogs. Consequently, we do not accept other pets such as cats, iguanas, goats and such.  

2. We charge a cleaning fee for all pets. The fee varies between $25 and $50 depending on the number of dogs. This is a one-time cleaning charge for the duration of your stay.  

3. Dogs must be on a leash when outside. At home this might not be a problem. However, if is simply not fair to other guests. Please be responsible. Use the doggie pickup bags at the office as well.  

4. It is important to all our guests that your dog be treated for fleas. Our beach climate is very friendly to fleas and you will have big problems if your dog is not prepared.  

5. Equally important is the health of your dog. Dogs need their rabies shots annually for our climate. In northern climates, owners are used to bi-annual treatment. Distemper prevention treatments are important as well.  

6. We do not require that you bring verification of treatments at this time; however, this policy may change in the future.  

7. We provide water bowls, id tags, treats, pickup bags and a designated area for exercise.  

8. While sticker burrs are everywhere at the coast, we use a special landscape treatment and have been able to mostly eliminate them on our property.  

9. Visiting a new environment can be stressful for dogs. It can be even more stressful to leave your dog alone in the room. If you leave your pet unattended, they must be in a crate or wire travel cage. They cannot be left in the cottage or bathroom areas. The risk to the cottages is too great. We have a lot of experience with this; please abide by this policy, as the charges can be high.

Dog fees are $25 for one dog, $35 for 2 or 3 and $50 for more than 3. This is a charge that covers the duration of your stay. (Sorry no cats)
