Pet friendly Flagler beach resort, Si Como No Inn!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a cool pet friendly beach resort with some friends, so I thought I’d tell you a bit about it. More and more people are traveling with their pets these days and good pet friendly resorts can be hard to come by.

This resort is called Si Como No Inn and it’s located right on the beach at Flagler beach. That is north of Daytona beach and just south of Palm Coast. Like I said it sits right on the beach, you only have to cross Oceanshore Blvd. and go down the steps to the beach!

Not only is Si Como No Inn resort very pet friendly but so is the beach right across from it. As you can see in the video I made above that stretch of beach is beautiful with not that many people around. So it’s perfect for pets, just please clean up after them. ;)
