Gulf getaway

This was a beautifully done home. The baths and kitchen were gorgeous. Management was easy to work with. View was excellent.neighborrhood was safe , quiet and nice. I will say there are no spices, salt, pepper so bring your own. Also one small rotten area on deck could injure someone. Will return for sure

Wonderful location!

We really enjoyed this clean, modern, beautifully decorated and well-equipped house. It was like a lake house and a beach house in one! We loved watching the herons, pelicans, and bluebirds from the back deck. My kids had a blast finding crabs in the lagoon. We enjoyed Ripstiking and roller blading from the house to the bike path, and we saw an alligator on our "Alligator Island Pier" walk. Our dog enjoyed the nice big yard. We ate at the Beach House Kitchen with our dog one night and walked home and really enjoyed the burgers.We would definitely come back. It was the perfect house to spread out and enjoy a restful Spring Break. It's usually hard to find such nice dog-friendly rentals!

Love this great house right on the lagoon

Our family had a wonderful time staying at the Doc for New Years! The entire house was super spacious and had everything we needed. I particularly loved sitting on the deck looking out at the lagoon. So much natural light and views of the lagoon from the kitchen, dining room, and living room! The Kitchen had a very large walk in pantry and a lot of cabinet space for storage. We will be back!

Beautiful Property

In general, this house is a solid 5. Beautiful finishes, great location, and overall clean. A couple of small issues: ants in the kitchen, quilt on stand-alone full bed in guest bedroom needs good washing for stains (or needs replacement), small nightstand and lamp in that same bedroom would be wonderful. Otherwise, we had a great time here and will likely book this property again in the future.
