Do you have a "pet friendly" vacation destination?

While we love to vacation, we are not thrilled with the idea of leaving our two shih tzu puppies for a week or two at a time. We recently went to a lake home in SC where we were able to have our (one, at the time) puppy with us, and we loved it. I was wondering if anyone here makes it a habit of taking your babies on vacation with you, and where you go?

As crazy as it may seem I took my *three* dogs to WDW last time around (rented a villa)... We've also done Outerbanks NC... they have tons of pet friendly rentals there!

I don't mind the leaving them part as much as the cost to board them.. it's usually MUCH cheaper for me to pay the extra pet deposit fee (usually $125-$250) then the boarding fees....

Come to Vancouver! We have pet friendly hotels, stores etc. Lot's of people take their dogs every where. We even have dog spas and dog bakeries. Someone should know of the website that gives you pet friendly hotels.

All 3 hotels at Universal are pet friendly. I think all Loews hotels are.

We had a hard time finding a cabin in Pigeon Forge that accepted pets and didn't want an arm and a leg...covemountain dotcom was a good site.

We go to Fort Walton Beach in the panhandle every Thanksgiving and summer. I have a 6 year old Shih Tzu (her picture is in my signature) and I HATE leaving her when we go on vacation. We have since bought a vacation home in Ft. Walton/Seaside, but we used to just rent houses. It's cooler there than other Florida areas which is good for a furry Shih Tzu. We have also been to a few restaurants there that actually let you bring your furbabies as long as you eat in the outdoor seating area!
