Dog Addendum

Addendum to Holden Beach Vacations Rental Lease Agreement and property identified therein-

Additional Dog Policy for Dog-Friendly Properties:

Dear Guest,

Thank you for choosing to rent one of our dog-friendly properties for your vacation. Pet-friendly properties are for dogs only. Cats, birds, lizards, etc. are not allowed in the rental properties. Thank you for your understanding. We know that you are excited about bringing your dog to Holden Beach, and we are excited that we are able to allow you this privilege. 

In order to make sure that we can continue to offer this convenience and possibly expand to allow dogs in more of our properties there are a few guidelines that we ask you to follow:

Please only allow one small dog (under 45 pounds) along with a $300 non-refundable pet fee, per pet per week.  Any additional or larger dog(s) must be approved through our office/property owner and may result in multiple pet fees. This fee is not to cover damages caused by a dog, but just covers the privilege of bringing them along on your vacation. Any cost resulting from damages, extra cleaning, fleas, odors, etc. that occur as a result from a dog being in a property will be deducted from your refundable security deposit.

• Please pick up any and all dog waste after your dog whether on or off the rental property.
• Puppies are NOT allowed. 
• Nails must be clipped to avoid scratching damage.
• The dog MUST be on a flea program, and owner must be able to provide evidence of such program  if required. 
• The dog can NOT be left unattended.
• The dog is NOT allowed on the furnishings or in/on bedding. 
• Dogs are NOT allowed on the beach from May 20 to September 10, with the exception of the hours from 5:00 PM to 9:00 AM. Daytime during the summer season, the beach is off limits to pets and fines may be given by beach patrol to anyone with a dog on the beach. Keep in mind that otherwise, island-wide your dog must be on a leash at all times!
• It is the guest’s responsibility to report any problems or damages caused by their dog. Please see #14 on your Rental Lease Agreement.

Please feel free to contact us with any of your questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing both you and your dog at Holden Beach in the near future.

Thank you,

Holden Beach Vacations
