PET POLICY
Dogs are allowed under certain conditions and ALL animals, including service animals, must be disclosed and approved prior to arrival.
A minimum of $200 is required on all pet-friendly properties depending on the size/number of pets.
NO Animal is allowed in the Pool or Spa at any home!
NO Animal is allowed on any of the Furniture, including beds!
You also must pick up bodily waste after your pet at all times (both on rental premises and on public property).
If a pet causes any damage to anything in the house (i.e., furniture, walls, doors), that item will be replaced and the guest responsible will be charged in full for that item without exception. In the event that the renter brings a pet without obtaining authorization, a 25% surcharge on the total cost of the reservation will be charged and Gulf Bay Vacations also reserves the right to terminate the rental agreement immediately without refund. Please understand that not all homes allow pets; some of our properties do not allow pets under any circumstances. Claiming a pet as a service animal, when it is not, is a criminal offense.
If you require an exception to this pet policy for your service animal, please provide Gulf Bay Vacations with your specific request and details, and we will provide you with reasonable accommodations for your stay.
NO Dangerous Breeds, aggressive, or intimidating animals are allowed. The owner (s) of the animals are responsible for any damage, property damage, medical expenses, and/or excess cleaning that occurs due to the pet. We can require that any animal not in compliance with this be removed from the home without a refund. In addition to this, any animal that urinates or defecates in the home, or is not well trained and is wild, and/or out of control, may also be required to leave the premises without a refund.
NON-PET FRIENDLY RENTALS: Non-pet-friendly properties indicate that the Owner does not allow animals in their home. Many times, this is due to severe allergies, asthma, or other medical conditions that could be affected by their presence, even after the fact. For those guests with service animals, we ask that you please assist us in this manner and choose one of the many pet-friendly rentals within our inventory so that we can comply with the Owner’s request.
