PET FRIENDLY VACATION RENTALS
IN ORANGE BEACH AL
Every pet-owner has experienced that gut-wrenching heartache that comes with having to leave one of their most cherished family members behind as the rest of the family goes on vacation without them. Fortunately, when you choose to stay in a vacation rental through Harris Vacation Rentals, you don’t have to leave your furry and four-legged friends behind! Read on to learn more about the myriad of high-quality pet-friendly vacation rentals in Orange Beach AL available for your vacation needs!
Pet-Friendly Orange Beach
Even when you don’t need to worry about paying for boarding or a sitter, having pets along on vacation can still be a hassle. They need to be exercised and they need to be fed, meaning they demand a schedule.
Thankfully, in Orange Beach you can combine your exercise and eating times with those of your pet! Bring your dog along to a nature trail so they can dig some brand new smells! Take your dog with you to a pet-friendly restaurant and consider spoiling them with table scraps (it’s their vacation too, after all)! In Gulf Shores, it’s not hard to take your pet along and still stay on vacation schedule—all you need is a leash!
Outings
Have your dog be part of the fun by taking them to some of these places where you can both enjoy yourself!
Backcountry Trails
Also called “Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail,” this passage is like its own backdoor to Gulf State Park, famous for its beautiful scenery. And that’s just one of the trails accessible within Orange Beach—there are seven trails total, all dog friendly and surprisingly different. From the marshes to the dunes to the woods, the scenic Backcountry Trails showcase just how varied the Gulf Coast can be. Enjoy the ones nearest your vacation rental over and over, or make a nature-lover’s pilgrimage to all seven!
Orange Beach Waterfront Park
Another fine spot to enjoy the great outdoors, the Waterfront Park is in the northern part of Orange Beach, abutting Wolf Bay. If you just want to enjoy the Gulf Stream sunshine, head here for a picnic or for an hour or two of fishing from the pier. The scenic area’s paved walking paths also make it great for light exercise—for you and pooch too! Just remember to bring extra towels if your dog likes to swim with you!
Dining
If you’ve worked up an appetite, just imagine how your pet must feel! Take them to a pet-friendly restaurant like one of these so you can relax:
Cosmo’s Restaurant and Bar
Located on Alabama’s Coastal Connection not even a mile west of the Waterfront Park, this is a great stop to combine with an outing there. Cosmo’s describes itself as American, and their menu runs the gamut from mixed drinks to seafood to sandwiches.
Villaggio Grille
Off of Portage Creek and Foley Beach Express, this is another dog-friendly restaurant. It’s at The Wharf, so it’s a great spot to go browse some shops while walking your dog—if a place you like doesn’t open its doors to four-leggers, you can always come back the next day!
Orange Beach Pet Friendly Vacation Rentals and Activities
Ranging in size from two to three bedrooms and accommodating as many as eight guests, these roomy and cozy waterside pet friendly vacation rentals in Orange Beach AL feature bright and airy interiors with coastal chic décor, full-sized bathrooms, and fully-stocked kitchens complete with modern appliances, utensils, and cookware.

Orange Beach is home to two parks that are ideal for playing with your pet, including Orange Beach Dog Park, Orange Beach Waterfront Park, and Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail.
