    How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in Kitty Hawk?

    To ensure you've booked a pet-friendly room on Expedia, use the filters in your search and select "Pet friendly" under the “Amenities” section. This will narrow your options to properties that allow pets. Once you find a hotel you're interested in, click on it and review the “Policies” section for specific details about their pet policy. This often includes information about pet types, size restrictions, fees, and whether pets are allowed in all rooms or only certain ones. When selecting your room type, read the room description to check that its pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets.

During the peak season, dogs are welcome on a leash no longer than 6 feet before 9 AM and after 6 PM. This makes the expansive oceanfront superb for morning or evening strolls, allowing your dog to run and play in the sand and surf.

The trails are well-maintained and offer a peaceful setting away from the beach crowds, superb for a leisurely stroll with your leashed companion. You might spot local wildlife like various bird species or even deer.
