Man’s best friend can also be man’s best travel companion, and restaurants, bars, and shops along Florida’s Scenic Highway 30A tend to be on the dog-friendly side of life. But what about those hard-to-find vacation home rentals? To help you and your furry friends, we sniffed out a few of the best 30A vacation rentals that will welcome you and your dog with open arms – and paws.

1. Lagerheads

Paradise Properties Vacation Rentals & Sales

Lagerheads is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home located in Inlet Beach, just down the bike path from Rosemary Beach.

This home is perfect for a large group of family and friends, accommodating up to 14 guests and three dogs.

The home has a beach view and is less than a five-minute stroll to the sugar-white sand. The home’s large, fenced backyard is perfect for letting the dogs play when you’re not checking out the pet-friendly restaurants and shops at nearby 30Avenue or grabbing dinner outdoors at Shades Bar & Grill.

2. R and R

Ocean Reef Vacation Rentals & Real Estate

R and R is a four-bedroom, four-bathroom home in Grayton Beach. The home, located in the Gulf Trace neighborhood, can accommodate up to 10 guests and two four-legged friends.

While you and your crew take a dip in the home’s private pool, there’s plenty of green space in the home’s private, fenced area for your dogs to run around.

The Gulf Trace community also borders the dog-friendly Grayton Beach State Park, perfect for a scenic trail walk. Finish your day at nearby Grayton Beer Brewpub with a beer and dinner on their dog-friendly outdoor patio. 

3. Watercolor Whimsea

Southern Vacation Rentals

Watercolor Whimsea is a three-bedroom, four-bathroom home located in the WaterColor community. Just minutes from the beach, this high-end, coastal home can accommodate seven guests and a dog.

After a day of fun in the sun on the beach and sometimes cooling down in one of WaterColor’s six lagoon-style pools, head out with your pup to nearby Seaside for dinner on Airstream Row or at Great Southern Café.

If you prefer to stay in the WaterColor community for the evening, take a stroll to The Wine Bar – Watercolor and enjoy casual fine dining outdoors with your furry friend.
