Pet Policies

Considering bringing a pet?

Familiarize yourself with our guidelines, fees, and restrictions to help us maintain a comfortable environment for all guests. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Guest Requirements

Guests must pre-register their dog before arrival. Guests arriving without a pre-registered pet will not be able to stay. Reservations with pets must be booked by phone at 843-849-2300.


Pet Guidelines

  • We have designated pet-friendly Harbor View and Lagoon Cottages. 
  • Pets must be included in your reservation booking information. 
  • Contact the front desk at 843-849-2300 if you have any questions.
  • A $75.00 pet fee per three-night stay is required.
  • Advanced notice is required to keep other cottages allergen-free. No exceptions.


Terms & Conditions

  • Pet weight limit is 30 pounds or less.
  • Pets must be fully trained and appropriately restrained by guests.
  • A non-refundable deposit of $75.00 per three-night stay, not to exceed $250 per stay, is required.
  • One well-behaved family pet (canine only; some aggressive breeds excepted) per cottage.
  • Pets are not permitted on any furniture or beds.
  • Guests must sign a waiver/Pet Agreement at check-in, agreeing to uphold the guidelines of The Cottage's pet policy


Pet Policy Guidelines

  • Pets must be leashed in public areas.
  • Pets are not allowed in food & beverage outlets, clubhouse, pool, or spa areas (except guide dogs).
  • The pet owner must be present when any staff member is in the cottage.
  • When leaving the pet unattended in the cottage, it must be in a pet carrier. If a pet-sitter is required, notify the concierge in advance (fees are the guest's responsibility).
  • Guests will be provided with a pet "in-cottage" sign, which must be hung on the outside hook by the front door during the stay.
  • Any disturbances, such as barking, must be curtailed to ensure other guests are not inconvenienced. Persistent barking may result in being asked to check out.
  • Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pet on the property and in the surrounding neighborhood.
  • All fees are non-refundable.
  • Guests are responsible for all property damage, additional cleaning, or personal injuries resulting from their pet, beyond the non-refundable deposit.
  • Guests agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Cottages, its owners, and its operator from all liability and damage suffered as a result of the guest's pet.
  • The Cottages reserve the right to charge the guest's account commensurate with the cost of such damages.
  • Guests are limited to the pre-assigned pet-friendly cottage. Call before booking online to ensure the cottage is available for the requested dates of stay.
  • Groups are not permitted to have a dog on the property. This policy ensures that our K-9 guest does not access other cottages, helping to keep other cottages allergen-free for guests. We appreciate your assistance in making The Cottages a great place for all our guests.
