A rainy day might delay your play, but trust us when we say that you and your dog will love curling up and watching the storm roll in from your bay-view, nautical-nodding room – all blue-and-white pinstripes and bird-motif cushions.

Get to know Morro Bay beyond the beach at Harbor House. This dog-friendly hotel is right alongside Main Street’s best cafés and boutique shops. You could brew up coffee in your room, but micro-brewed coffee is also warming up for you nicely at Top Dog Coffee Bar one block away. Grab yourself a Texas-style Lone Star burrito with brisket and pinto beans, then head over to Central Coast Raw Dog Food to get Fido their own fresh breakfast.

A pet-friendly motel one block from the ocean? Sounds pleasant, doesn’t it? You and Fluffy will settle into a cozy guest room with a kitchenette and get curled up on a pillow-top bed. Take a cat nap to the calm sounds of the waves and gentle purring. Whenever you wake, head down to the old fishing village and pick up some fresh fish for Fluffy. Kitty’s Kitchen is right around the corner if you need a seafood omelet for yourself.

Does Spunky prefer the park or the beach? No matter, both are within a five-minute drive from La Serena Inn. Even closer is Morro Rock which you can gaze at from the comfort of your suite or on the outdoor terrace. Embrace the Slo Cal lifestyle and stroll together through downtown, popping into Carla’s Kitchen, Tognazzini’s Dockside and the other Morro Bay restaurants that’ll happily put out a water bowl for your pup.

Bayfront Inn at the Waterfront lets you bring not one, not two, but three of your pets along for vacation. Yes, that means that you can roll up with the whole crew: Bark Wahlberg, Droolius Caesar and Cat Benatar. There’s plenty of room for your human crew at this dog-friendly Morro Bay hotel, too, and more than enough Crills salt water taffy to share in your room. As for the homemade cinnamon buns every morning in the lobby? You can keep those all to yourself.

Beach Bungalow Inn and Suites is right down the street from Morro Bay’s thrifty shops, if you need to scoop up some pet food or a vintage sun hat. Cruise on back to the Inn and heat up the gas fireplace if the temperature starts to drop. Trying to beat the heat? The cool waves of driftwood-strewn Morro Rock Beach are 1mi (1.6km) away. There are also free bikes available if you want to cruise around town and really wear them out.

A blanket and some biscuits on the beach, kindly provided at the dog-friendly 456 Embarcadero Inn & Suites in Morro Bay, sets the scene for a puppy photoshoot.

Slobber over your phone as you swipe through the shots on your fully furnished balcony, or take a walk down to the pet-friendly Dutchman’s Seafood House to split a basket of fish and chips.

No matter if Buster is a service dog, therapy dog or just plays one on TV, they’re welcome to stay with you at Inn at Rose’s Landing. They haven’t forgotten about your friendly feline either; Garfield can snuggle up in your room as well. Every species in your room will enjoy curling up by the fireplace and gazing out at the bay over the patio. Only one of you, though, will be able to drink in the views with a dark and stormy at Rose’s Bar and Grill.

Morro Bay Sandpiper Inn keeps its pet-friendly rooms on the ground floor, so no one’s sore joints need to summit a staircase. The refrigerator, coffeemaker and microwave will save you a few steps when preparing a quick meal for you and old Blue.
