Vacation for them, peace of mind for you.

Get ready for a totally different take on "dog boarding." Our resort is tucked into the heart of South Hutchinson Island in sunny Fort Pierce Florida. With water front views and a cooling ocean breeze, your dog will be vacationing in luxury. Our boarding facility is one of the oldest beach houses on the island! Our goal is to create a home-like atmosphere for your pup. Think of it more as a bed and breakfast than a kennel! Please keep in mind, we aim to provide intimate pet care, so spaces are limited! Please call well in advance to reserve your pet's stay!
