Dog Friendly!:
Is Carmel and DragonsFyre dog friendly?
Carmel is a very dog friendly city and beach. DragonsFyre's owner has a Husky and so knows all the best coffee shops, restaurants and galleries.
Where can't I take my well behaved dog in Carmel?
Here's a short list where dogs are welcome or must remain outside:
* Restaurants that do not have an outside patio or covered rear patio (most do - please ask if unsure). PortoBella is a favorite of my Husky for its iced water and doggy chicken plate.
* Coffee Houses - by far the best where all dog owners congregate with a six table patio is at Caffé Cardinale Coffee Roasting Company. Carmel Valley Coffee Roasting and Carmel Bakery & Coffee (all on Ocean Avenue) have dog watering bowls outside for the pooches. Arawan Thai Café further down Ocean Avenue, just behind the candy store near PortoBella, has a full sized patio and great Thai iced teas to go.

DragonsFyre Hotel Price Comparison
So why stay at DragonsFyre, a vacation home rental, rather than a Carmel hotel? Suppose:
* your six to eight guests require accommodation in Carmel-by-the-Sea within walking distance of all the downtown restaurants, galleries and Carmel's white sand beach
* you would like to bring your dog with you to the beach, the bank and the best eateries
* you prefer quality furnishings and the good things in life
* you wish to relax with your friends and family in sunlit gardens with waterfalls and sculptures while relaxing in luxury under the stars in a soothing heated spa
* if friends visit may they park outside your accommodation without having a 90 minute parking limit

Let's compare a six night stay for seven guests in Carmel with a dog. My recommendation is to stay at Cypress Inn (my favorite hotel in Carmel) which is centrally located, has a great outdoor patio, bar and a fireplace lounge
