No Weight LimitKimpton Shorebreak Resort Dog Friendly Review
Kimpton Shorebreak Resort holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for dog friendly travel. Dogs are given full access to the property, including the guest rooms, lobby, courtyard, and the outer door seating area and patio of the restaurant, The Pacific Hideaway. There is no weight or size limit, so dogs of any size are welcome, and cats and other pets may stay too. The location also helps, with Huntington Dog Beach about a mile away, Lake Park nearby, and the dog friendly downtown Main area close at hand.
Day to day, the hotel keeps things simple and generous. Dogs stay free of charge, with no pet fee and no damage deposit required. At check in, staff offer a treat, a toy, and extra waste bags if needed, and you are able to leave your dog alone in the room, with the hotel saying it would contact you should anything come up. For walking or sitting needs, the hotel partners with Wag for dog walking services and can arrange dog sitting through the same provider. Your dog may join you throughout the property, from the lobby and courtyard to the restaurant's outer seating and patio.
There are some gaps worth knowing before you book. The hotel does not provide a dog bed, real food or water bowls, or dog food for sale, and there is no dog wash or shower area or garden for your dog to use. Dogs are not allowed in the bar or the lounge, and the hotel does not arrange grooming, keep an emergency vet number, or share its pet policy before booking. This stay suits an owner with a well behaved dog who is happy to rely on nearby beaches and parks for exercise and bring along their own bed and bowls, drawn by the free stay and relaxed access throughout the hotel. Owners wanting on-site grooming, a dedicated dog wash area, or bar and lounge access for their dog should look elsewhere.
