Visiting with Pets

While a few of our properties adhere to a “No Pets” policy, a select number of our homes welcome dogs and are advertised as Pet Friendly. This will be specifically noted on each property’s information page. A non-refundable pet fee of $125 will be applied to your reservation and a completed pet addendum will be required if you decide to bring your furry friends. Our vacation rental homes welcome dogs, no other pets are allowed.

 

For your own comfort and for the comfort of our homeowners and other guests, there are certain rules and restrictions that must apply to the Pet Friendly properties. Please click the link below to view our Pet Policies.

 

"Leave No Trace"

In 2015, a “Leave No Trace” ordinance was issued for Gulf County beaches.

 

The following information is a highlight of the rules implemented by the Leave No Trace ordinance

  • All unattended personal items (chairs, tents, toys, kayaks, etc.) must be removed daily from the beach no later than 1 hour after published time of sunset and can be placed back on beach after sunrise the following day.
  • All holes created must be filled in prior to leaving the beach each day.
  • Overnight camping must not be within 400 feet of any waterfront residence.
  • Glass bottles, containers, etc. are prohibited on Gulf County beaches.
  • Bonfires are permissible, but must not be within 100 feet of any structure, and all remnants must be extinguished and removed from the beach that same day. All items other than natural wood are prohibited from burning (i.e.-pallets, wood with screws or nails, pressure-treated wood, etc.).
  • All trash must be removed from the beach.
  • Soliciting and canvassing on the beach is prohibited other than County Administration and Law Enforcement officials.
  • It is unlawful to remove sand from Gulf County beaches.

Anything you bring to the beach with you should leave the beach with you. Please do not leave any belongings on the beach overnight. We are very proud of our beaches and want to keep them in pristine condition.

 

Driving on the beach is only allowed with a permit issued to Gulf County Residents or property owners only. For more details about beach driving permits  please read the full ordinance here.
