The majority of timeshare properties are not very open to having four legged friends, but there are a few pet friendly timeshare resorts we’ve uncovered that might suit your needs when in search of the perfect vacation “spot” for you and Spot. Today’s traveler would prefer the flexibility of bringing a beloved pet on vacation as opposed to using the services of pet sitters, family or friends. Timeshares can be a great option, offering more interior living and sleeping space than the typical hotel room, in addition to providing the ample walking trails and green spaces required for domesticated pets.
Here are a few pet-friendly timeshare resorts offering comfortable accommodations and memorable vacations for owners and their pets throughout the State of Florida:
- Merriweather Resort in Fort Lauderdale
- Newport Beach Hotel & Resort in Miami Beach
- Banyan Resort in Key West
- Hilton Grand Vacation Club in Orlando
- Grand Seas Resort in Daytona Beach
- Caribe Beach Resort in Sanibel Island
- Bluegreen Resort’s Landmark Holiday Beach Resort in Panama City Beach
- Wyndham Vacation Resorts in Panama City Beach
- Celebration World Resort in Kissimmee
- Festiva Orlando Resort in Kissimmee
- Westgate Town Center in Kissimmee
- Westgate Vacation Villas in Kissimmee
- Westgate River Ranch in River Ranch
There may be breed and weight restrictions, as well as other fees and conditions that apply to each stay. Do your homework and get in touch with the resort you have in mind to get all the details and discuss your particular situation. Consider your pet’s temperament, needs and comfort. Well socialized animals fare better in a new environment and different social situations. Your canine or feline companion may be less stressed at home in the care of a loving family member or competent sitter than a road trip. Whatever you decide, it’s comforting to know there are pet-friendly options at many vacation properties.
