If your vacation rental allows dogs please note our pet rules: We allow up to two small to medium size (less than 50 lbs) dogs only. They must be well-behaved and house-trained. You will be charged for any damage caused by your pet. Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Freeman Park are pet friendly and for everyone's enjoyment we have just a couple of ordinances we hope you'll follow.
