Pet Friendly Lodging near Saint Augustine, Florida

Pet-friendly hotels in St. Augustine are within access of dog-welcoming restaurants, parks and beaches. Some of these hotels charge extra for each night you stay with them; others charge nothing a all. Keep in mind that hotels have rules that pet owners must follow in exchange for their hospitality, including keeping your animal on a leash outside the room and being vigilant about cleaning up behind your dog as he takes his walk. Pets are allowed, on leash, on St. Augustine's beaches with the same rules.

Ramada Historic Downtown St. Augustine

The Ramada Historic Downtown Hotel sits in the busy part of historic St. Augustine, placing it in easy reach of attractions and restaurants. You can bring two pets to this hotel, but the management asks that you call to make sure there is a pet designated room available. The on-site restaurant, Slugger's Grill, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but does not admit pets. For pet-friendly dining consider the Raintree Restaurant and Steakhouse, where you can eat on their outdoor patio while your dog snoozes at your feet. Choose from dishes such as grilled shrimp and sausage, Raintree seafood au gratin or capellini pomodoro. The restaurant has live entertainment on weekends.

A few minutes up the road, Cafe del Hidalgo has sandwiches, specialty salads and gelato made on premises.

You dog might also enjoy visiting the park and beach at Fort Matanzas, where it will be welcome if kept on a leash.

Inn at Camachee Harbor

On the waterfront overlooking Camachee Harbor Marina, the Inn at Camachee Harbot provides a selection of dog-friendly rooms.

Take your pet to the outdoor patio at Kingfish Grill at the harbor for your dinner of seafood, burgers and steaks.

The outdoor pool has a tall spiral water slide. Beachfront Resort sits very close to the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, but your pet will not be admitted there. Instead, consider doggie daycare for an afternoon on your own, or, if your plans keep you away until late at night, Pet Paradise boards pets.
