Pets: We understand that dogs are a part of your family, that’s why dogs are allowed with permission in most of our cabins.  Dogs are not allowed in the Villas, the Bay View Lodge or the Office.  We do not allow other pets (i.e. cats, birds etc.). We will ask you so sign a pet contract upon arrival.

Pets must be kept on a leash at all times when outdoors, even well-behaved ones, as not everyone is fond of pets. A shock collar is not considered a leash. We expect the owners to clean up after their pets inside and outside of the cabin. During your stay, there may be times when you are out and your dog wants to stay in, you will need to crate/kennel your dog during these times.  We do not allow pets to be left
free-roaming in the cabin or to be tied up outside while you are away. In the crate or with you are the only options so that no damage is done to the facilities. Absolutely no dogs are allowed on the furniture, on spare blankets or on the beds. Please bring their beds and their blankets for their comfort.  Be sure to rinse off sandy/muddy dog paws and dry off wet dogs before entering your cabin.  If you find that you need special cleaning supplies during your stay, please let us know. The Harmony Beach Resort does not assume any liability for your dog’s actions while on resort grounds.  You are financially responsible for any damage caused by your pet.

The pet fee is $25 daily/$175 weekly per pet.   There is a maximum of 2 dogs per cabin.

You will need to bring your own blankets/comforters for your cabin if you are bringing a pet.  Sheets, pillows, and pillow cases will still be provided.
