Nothing says summer like a trip to the beach – am I right? And Bethany Beach is one of the best resort towns on the Eastern Shore for families to travel to for some relaxation. But who wants to pop out of town without the family pup?
It can be a struggle for us travelers who are also pet lovers plagued by a lack of quality places that allow Fido (or Barkdale… or Chew Barca… or Miss Sugarpants… we’re not judging names here!) to join in the fun. However, the newly remodeled Meris Gardens in Bethany Beach solves the problem altogether, with top notch digs that are dog friendly.
Previously a little known motel under a different name and ownership, Meris Gardens is now a quaint bed and breakfast in a delightfully peaceful wooded setting with only a 15 minute walk to the beach, or to all of the shops and restaurants along the main drag.
While Meris Gardens has rebranded itself as a bed and breakfast, the main structure itself still has a motel set-up, allowing guests to easily access their own rooms through a private entry, rather than parading the pups through an entire home, like at a traditional B&B.
The grounds of the property are paved with winding pathways that are flanked by gardens and manicured grass. A cozy size, the property is perfect for children to run around and remain in sight, or to be able to give the pooch some exercise.
