Fireside Inn Ocean's Edge

159 Searsport Avenue Belfast, ME, 04915 Phone: 207-338-2090

Pets are more than welcome at this very friendly seaside inn

When people ask the folks at Fireside Inn & Suites Ocean’s Edge if pets are welcome, they answer this way: They’ve never had a pet that smoked in bed, stole towels or played the TV too loud, so, it’s more a question of whether your pet can vouch for you. The inn prides itself on providing comfortable accommodations for people and their furry friends. A small nightly fee, a promise to not leave Fido alone in the room and to keep whatever your pet (goldfish excepted) is on a leash when not in the room are all that’s required. Pet-friendly rooms have patio doors that exit to acres of back lawn. Like you, they will love the space, and the sea breezes.
