Our Pet Policy
Bring Your Four-Legged Friends
Ocean Village is proud to be a pup-friendly property—you may even be greeted by our resident, friendly pack upon arrival. Please let us know whether you’ll be bringing your own canine (and their name), and we’ll have a special care package ready and waiting for them. It helps that our resort is located along the dog-friendly shores of MacKenzie Beach—where they can play fetch for miles and splash in the tide. To wash the sand from their fur (trust us, there will be sand), ask about our two convenient on-site dog washing stations.
