Pet policies vary more than most amenities – some properties cap the number or size of pets, others charge a fee, and a few (like Villa Smiljana) only accept pets on request rather than as standard policy. Always confirm directly with the owner before booking. Below is our current list of pet-friendly properties, from beachfront estates to more remote island retreats.
Traveling with a pet shouldn’t mean compromising on your dream Croatian getaway. Among Direct Private Villas’ Dalmatian coast collection, the following properties welcome four-legged guests. 
On the island of Brač, both Villa Fjera in Pučišća and Villa Smiljana in Milna (pets accepted on request) offer sea views and private pools alongside pet access. Brač is a great destination for dog owners, offering plenty of open spaces and natural areas for your furry friend to explore. Families with pets are recurring guests at these properties.
Near Split, Villa Matković in Kučine and Villa Ella Estelle in Medići combine spacious family living with pet-friendly policies, while House Copacabana on Čiovo island rounds out the Split-area options. From Split to Omiš riviera, you have several well-equipped, designated dog beaches to choose from.
For something more remote, Villa San Silvestar on Biševo Island – home to the famous Blue Cave – welcomes pets to its secluded, boat-access-only retreat. Your furry pet will basically have the whole island for himself. It’s paradise, for humans and their best friends.
House Rex in Poljica (Marina) also allows pets for a small fee, offering total privacy on a beachfront estate – on the estate itself there is a lovely dog Rex, after which the house is named after. Finally, Villa Tatjana Sol in Ražanj, Rogoznica, adds a hot tub and gym to its pet-friendly perks.
Both villa owners are pet owners themselves and have a great understanding of traveling groups with pets and their needs. You will be in good hands.
Always confirm pet policies directly with owners before booking, as rules on size, number of pets, or additional fees can vary property to property.
