Ocean City, FL 140 Pet Friendly Apartments for Rent

Ocean City, located in the skinny bit of Florida, butts up against the ocean through the Chocktawhatchee Bay. Unfortunately, this little known gem often gets confused with Maryland's Ocean City. This piece of coastal suburbia, overshadowed by big brother, Ft. Walton Beach, is distinctly different than the surrounding area with its location defined by the bay and adjoining bayous. It seems almost like a mini peninsula. Florida's Ocean City hosts a population of 5,594 according to the 2000 U.S. Census. A member of Okaloosa County, Ocean City is a census-designated place, which means that it does not have its own municipal government but the residents and nearby neighbors recognize the place by the name of Ocean City. The pseudo-city is intersected by Florida's highway 85 and 188. View Ocean City Guide

Renting pet-friendly apartments in Ocean City should offer peace of mind and convenience for our furry friends. It’s crucial to find an apartment that’ll work for both you and your pet. Before signing a pet-friendly apartment, take your time to study the layout and ask plenty of questions.

Some pet-friendly apartments in Ocean City may request a pet deposit or only accept certain dog breeds. You should also consider if the floors are hardwood or carpeted. Hardwood may be easier to clean-up fur and a mess but could mean your neighbors below hear the tapping of your dog running past. An outdoor balcony can also be ideal for a pet who needs some fresh air.

Consider the neighborhood of any pet-friendly apartments in Ocean City. Are they near a dog park or a vet? You should also research the rates of dog walkers in your area. It may be less expensive to move to a nearby neighborhood with a lower pet deposit, a better layout for your pet, and cheaper services.
