Have been checking out dog friendly accomodations on VRBO in Destin and nearby but can't seem to find information regarding dogs being allowed on the beach. Any information would be appreciated.

This is off destin-ation.com:

Okaloosa County, Bay County and the City of Destin do not allow pets on the beach.

If you are considering another destination for dog friendly beaches, you can run a web search for Florida pet friendly beaches.

Thanks for your help. Looks like we will just continue to
get our pet sitter. It doesn't appear that the Florida beaches are very dog friendly.

See if your library has a copy of "A dog lover's companion to Florida". It was very useful when we started taking our dogs to Florida. We found SW Florida (with the exception of Naples) is pretty good for dogs. Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Captiva, Venice has an off leash doggie beach as does Bonita Springs (Lover's Key doggie beach.
