(Larry Olmstead) INN BY THE SEA: Welcoming pets for more than 30 years, this inn just a few minutes outside downtown Portland recently upped its ante with new lavish Cove Suites. In separate beachfront buildings, these two-bedroom residences have ample indoor and outdoor living space, plus a fireplace, kitchen, and furnished deck. While most properties charge pet fees, here canine accommodations are complimentary, including water bowls, beach towels, cozy blankets, and signature treats at turndown. Dog-walking and -sitting is available, and an outdoor bar deck features a gourmet pet menu. The house dog is a rescue in partnership with a local shelter—a program that has led to over 150 dogs being placed with visiting guests. Nearby are trails, pet-friendly beaches, and free-range parks.
