It is getting that time of year when the sun is out, the weather is warm and being outside is where…read morewe all want to be! If you have fur kids, as I do, the place you must try is Rummy's Beach Club! Two years ago, we welcomed two amazing Aussiedoodles, Tanner and Paisley, into our hearts and home and quickly found that they needed something more. I went to the internet looking for local places to bring them for swimming, but I wanted a place we could swim with them. That is where I met Lisa, the owner of Rummy's. Lisa talked with me, explained the amenities she had to offer, and we knew we had to give it a try.
Lisa offers a flexible pricing option where you can either purchase sessions on an individual basis or different packages that allow for savings when purchasing packages of different amounts. The experience includes your own private session with her or a trained member of her team. You have private access to 1 acre of land which includes a digging dirt hill, toys, lots of running room and of course a beach entrance pool where there is a dock for jumping and more toys (to dive, to catch and to squeak)! There is even a very nice private area to allow you to change before and / or after your swim so you can have nice dry clothes for the drive home. In addition to the physical amenities, Rummy's offers a safe place for pets of all backgrounds. Rummy's supports all types from young, old, reactive, fearful, handicapped, healthy...you name it, they are welcome! When you first arrive, the facility is fully gated with high fences. When it is your turn to enter, the gates open and you drive your vehicle in and the gates close. At this time, you are in a safe place where you and your pets can exit the vehicle leash free. You tour the facility to give the pets time to run and do their potty business, then enter another gated area with the pool. Here if your pet needs, she fits them for an appropriately sized life vest and then enter the pool area. Halfway through your hour visit, or more frequently if your pet decides, you take a bathroom break before returning for another swim or two around the pool.
Lisa and her amazing team have helped my two doodles in more ways than one. She has helped Paisley pursue her love of the water, jumping, fetching, and swimming. Paisley was nervous and timid, but now her and the team members run non-stop the entire time she's there. Lisa has given our boy, Tanner, a safe place to be himself. Tanner is highly sensitive and can appear reactive in many situations. He was unsure of the water, noises, people, basically anything. Her and her dedicated team were patient with him, nurturing and caring. They have taught him to have fun! He looks forward to the pool and has even jumped off the side! He loves to run through the big open field.
I cannot give Rummy's enough stars. Not only do you receive a fun, safe, clean, and stress-free experience when you swim at Rummy's; you build a relationship with an amazing staff and owner that can last a lifetime. We are Rummy's for life!
