Did you know pet-friendly vacation rentals and homes with a private heated pool are popular amenity requests this time of year? That's because our beautiful beaches make for the perfect pet-friendly vacation destination. Sunrise strolls along the Atlantic with your furry best friend are a great way to start your day! We welcome all four-legged friends to the Outer Banks, and while our beaches are pet-friendly, leash laws and doggy beach time can vary per town and time of year. Dogs are welcomed year-round on Cape Hatteras National Seashore and our Nags Head beaches on a leash no longer than 6-10 feet, depending on the beach. Meanwhile, our Duck beaches allow our four-legged friends to run freely, year-round, under their owner's watchful eye. We recommend reviewing the town you are vacationing in to learn their Pet-Friendly Tips and Regulations.
As the days become longer, brighter, and warmer, the water temps are still catching up, and some may find the cool temps too chilly to enjoy—well, say hello to heated pools!

Snag a home with a heated pool for a relaxing and soothing way to ease those achy and tired muscles. Find your perfect home with a heated pool today!
