My dog and I had a wonderful weekend escape at Ocean Shores and Al was very accommodating with my last minute booking. Very hospitable host and a private fully self-contained apartment with a private entrance, car space, kitchenette and fabulously comfortable futon bed. And the beach was just a few minutes away and was dog friendly! Community was very friendly with a local shop a few streets away and a great café a few minutes drive next to a creek for more doggie swimming fun.
