Boutique Stays - Sea Breeze

Boutique Stays' Sea Breeze is a furnished serviced apartment at 41 Nott Street, Port Melbourne, a short walk from the waterfront and Bay Street. It is set up for longer stays and families, and it takes dogs for a nightly pet fee, which makes it one of the more practical apartment options for a beachside Melbourne stay with a dog.

Dogs at Sea Breeze

Dogs are welcome overnight with an added nightly pet fee, and the Boutique Stays house rules apply: tell the reservations team you are bringing a dog at the time of booking, keep dogs off all furniture and beds, and clean up inside and out before departure. Permissions vary between the group's properties, with some allowing dogs inside and others restricting them to outdoor areas, so confirm when booking that your specific unit permits a dog indoors rather than assuming. Other pet types need explicit approval. The apartment format helps for longer stays: a fully furnished, self-contained setup with the family in mind gives a dog far more room to settle than a single hotel room.

The location

Nott Street sits between the water and the shops, a short walk to the Bay Trail and the beach, and close to the Bay Street cafe strip. This is one of Melbourne's best inner-city suburbs for dogs: the Port Melbourne dog beach along the Bay Trail has a year-round off-leash section, and the Howe Reserve and Garden City Reserve off-leash areas give you grass options on either side of the peninsula. If you need alternatives, The Sebel in Docklands is another serviced-apartment stay that takes pets across the water.

Max: the pet fee is nightly, not per stay, so it adds up on a week-long booking. Confirm the indoor permission for your unit in writing when you book.
