Advertised as a “Beautiful Place by The Sea”, Ogunquit has transformed itself from a small town of Maine to a resort town. Imagine walking along the pretty shore with your fur baby on a fine relaxing afternoon. Or roam around the vast camping areas just a few miles from town. Your pets will thank you for all the fun you bring to them! Make sure they enjoy the stay as much as their activities, though. The only way to do it is by booking only the best pet friendly hotels in Ogunquit, Maine.
Where to Stay with your Pet in Ogunquit, Maine
The town of Ogunquit is only around 15 square miles wide. And two-third of that is the coastal area itself. So, choosing an area to stay only depends on your answer to this: Do you want to stay in the heart of the resort town?
If your answer is yes, don’t stray too far from the Shore Road. It’s where you’ll find dining options and attractions – among the best hotels in Ogunquit, Maine – just a few steps away from Little Beach along the Israels Head area. The Marginal Way Dog Walk is also nearby.
However, for more secluded ambiance, choose the Ogunquit Beach area. It’s separated from the rest of the town and only connected through the Beach Street Bridge within Ogunquit. The other end of this street connects you to Berwick Road, where you’ll find the town’s dog park. That’s something your doggos will appreciate… other than treats!
Keep in mind that Ogunquit is a small town. Options for your pets’ convenience may not be abundant. That said, fret not! There are other areas just outside of Ogunquit for more options, namely Wells and Bald Head. In fact, they share the same main road with Ogunquit. It will only take you 15 minutes to get to the Ogunquit Beach from the center of both Wells and Bald Head. That’s how close they are!
Besides, being not so close to the center of the resort town, you guarantee yourself a more peaceful experience, away from the tourism hustles. That is something to consider especially if you or your dog is a light sleeper.
On an unrelated note, there are also plenty of great gay friendly hotels in Ogunquit!
Twenty Shore

How does staying in a full-serviced apartment where your pups can tag along for free sounds like? You heard that right! Pets are allowed in Twenty Shore, free of charge. The building hosts apartment units for up to four guests, even the one-bedroom ones. Each of the large double bed and a sofa bed in the living room can sleep for two. Unless your big pup takes up the whole bed for themselves!
Each unit has a nice living room area with a fully-equipped kitchen and dining table right by the window. This alone makes it stands out among other pet friendly hotels in Ogunquit, Maine. Instead of a small, conventional hotel room, Twenty Shore offers more space and a homey ambiance. Currently, there are two units listed to book online: Suite 6 and Suite 7. Both offer similar amenities, just a different color scheme.
We personally love its location, right on Shore Road. And it’s just around 300 yards away from the Ogunquit Beach! Walking your dogs has never been so fun. Take them to the Marginal Way Walk, which is less than a mile away. Chances are you’ll meet other dogs there!

The Island House
10
Owned by avid travelers, The Island House embodies the “home away from home” theme really well. It’s a villa consisting of 7 (seven) bedrooms and a large living room with a big TV. Five of them include a double bed, while one has a sofa bed and the other with 3 single beds. Every member of your family can join the fun. Not forgetting the furry ones! Just let the host knows during the booking and they will gladly assist you with any information you need regarding your pet’s stay.
The kitchen and dining area is just like what you’ll find back home, if not better. There’s a private balcony for you to delve into the surrounding beauty from afar. Located in a small, gated community, your safety and privacy are guaranteed in this 1850s house. To quote the host himself, “You will sleep with the sound of the waves crashing and the birds talking!”
Gather round by the modern gas-fired fireplace to share stories. Or grab a drink and enjoy the relaxing hot tub. Though it may be difficult to leave with all the inviting comfort, do explore nearby areas. The Marginal Way Walk is just a stone throw away! If this is not one of the best dog friendly hotels in Ogunquit, Maine, we don’t know what is.

Coast Village Inn and Cottages

Back to the beach area, this time a little north of Ogunquit Beach, not far from the pet friendly hotels in Ogunquit, Maine.

Every dog in the world would love that spot to run around!
Indoors, you’ll find a comfy bedroom for two. Some units offer one large bed (queen or king), while the rest offer two separated beds.

Sea Mist Resort Motel

As you can see, most pet friendly hotels in Ogunquit, Maine have one thing in common: cottage-like accommodation surrounded by greeneries. Reconnecting with nature sometimes requires a small sacrifice of convenience. We thought this is what Ogunquit is all about until we stumbled upon the following two accommodations. Instead of sacrificing modern comfort for the sake of a quaint touch, these two combine the two worlds beautifully.
In Sea Mist Resort Motel, for instance, each room is equipped with a climate control system. The kitchenette is complete with a small fridge, microwave, plus a coffee pot with free coffee. Wi-Fi is available anywhere within the motel area, free of charge!
Outdoors, you’ll find a picnic area with BBQ facilities. Sounds like a good recipe for a nice evening gathering with family and friends! Children will love the motel’s playground, where books, games, and DVDs are available.

Don’t forget to bring the vaccination record as it’s required during check-in. Since pets are not allowed to sleep on the motel’s bed and furniture, also include your pet’s bed and towel in your packing list. But if you don’t mind, you can also rent these from the motel. You’ll be charged 20 USD extra per night for each pet and another 25 USD for cleaning. Besides, a refundable 100-USD security deposit is required at check-in.
