Policy
The purpose of policies are for information and protection for both parties. We at The Coral Sands Motel wish for you and your loved ones to be fully informed. we want you and your loved ones have a memorable time at Ocean City, New Jersey.
Pet Policy
We accept well-behaved pets! 🙂 🙂 🙂 PLEASE NOTE CHANGES IN PET FEE!!!
There’s $60 fee PER NIGHT PER PET;
– with NO CAP between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend;
– cap is $150 for reservations staying before Memorial Day weekend and after Labor day weekend.
A pet must be declared before or at Check-In.
We aren’t so much concerned about the size and breed of the dogs, but mostly about their behavior. We want all guests to enjoy their stay, so please be respectful. No excessive barking. We understand dogs bark, but there’s a difference between 2 minutes and 2 hours of barking. Do not leave unattended in the room if they will be a nuisance. This is a hotel, not a kennel.
If you plan to spend the whole day at the beach, it is probably better to plan appropriate accomodation for your dog.
The Katie Rule: If your dog is aggressive, disobedient, or barks too much, SIMPLY DO NOT BRING THEM here, because you will be asked to leave. If we have too many complaints, we will discontinue allowing pets.
The Coral Sands Motel will not be held responsible for any injury caused by your pet to any guest or motel staff member and said damage or injury will be the SOLE RESPONSIBILITY of the pet owner.
City rules: No dogs on the Boardwalk. Dogs are allowed on the beach only between Oct 1st and April 30th. There are multiple parks in the area. Pooper Scooper law in effect! 🙂
