Before you book with a dog
Dog rules vary more than you’d think. Weight limits run from 35 to 40 pounds at the two resorts above, fees are charged per night, and Sonesta keeps dogs on the first floor. Service animals are treated differently from pets everywhere.
Hilton Head’s beach rules for dogs change by season. See the dog-friendly beaches guide before you head out with yours.
If you want more room for a dog, look at dog-friendly vacation rentals, where the owner sets the policy.
