And, Seaside Vacations offers many dog-friendly Outer Banks rentals allowing your dogs to vacation with you! So pack your bags (and the dog!) and check out our seven recommendations perfect for those with a canine companion:

The wide, soft-sand beaches of the Outer Banks provide the perfect playground for your 4-legged pal to romp around. Just remember, the rules on leashes vary widely by town, so make sure that you follow all Outer Banks leash laws. After a fun-filled romp on the beach, you and your furry friend can cool off with a nice treat from John's Drive-In. Located on the Beach Road in Kitty Hawk, they offer special ice cream "puppy cups!" Leashed, well-mannered dogs are welcome at the outer picnic tables. 3716 Virginia Dare Trail (the Beach Road) For a great outdoor adventure, head on over to Jockey’s Ridge State Park.

Be sure to bring plenty of water and keep in mind that the sand can get 10-20 degrees hotter than the surface in the summer.
