Relaxation for both you and your dog is top priority at the Island Inn at 123 West, located on San Juan Island. Whether you drive off one of the Washington State Ferries or come in via plane—or even float plane—this Front Street accommodation welcomes Fidos with its Preferred Puppy Pass. Dogs are greeted by a welcome guide with popular spots for relief and play and amenities ranging from baked treats to bed to bowls. The inn serves as home base for your dog walks on pebbled shorelines, woodsy trails and even swims in the Salish Sea.

California Dreamin’
Styled like a hacienda, Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa combines the atmosphere of a Southern California garden and seaside village. All sizes and breeds are welcomed with in-room amenities as well as specially crafted dog menus with entrees ranging from grilled steak to steak tartare. You and your dog can even dine together at the hotel’s Mustangs & Burros restaurant, featuring Baja-inspired cuisine with seasonal locally-sourced ingredients. Along with the hotel’s gardens and walking paths into La Jolla, the property is just nine miles from the off-leash dog beach at Del Mar North Beach
