The property was perfect as far as location. The yard was great for pets. Found everything clean. Only complaint, mattress in master bedroom needs replacing and couches in living room are worn with no support. Very uncomfortable. If these issues are addressed, we will stay here again. Of all the properties we've stayed at, this was our favorite.

Awesome family get-away, hope to return soon!

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Dock of the Bay. The location is ideal, close to everything but secluded enough for great relaxation and privacy. We all fished from the dock, relaxed on the screened porch and ate lots of delicious seafood. We hope to return to this wonderful property soon!

Perfect Getaway!

We were a little hesitant about the location but it was absolutely perfect! The house and neighborhood were so relaxing and quiet but everything was just a short drive (minutes) away - shopping, restaurants, groceries. We loved waking up and watching the fishing boats troll by and seeing dolphins as we had our coffee every morning! We would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at the dock by the bay house. We had plenty of room for all of us. The dock was where we gathered every night for some night fishing and relaxing. A bonus was watching the dolphins every morning and evening. Thank you!!!

This house was just what we were looking for: quiet and on the water with lots of birds and boats to watch. Fishing wasn’t great, but it was pretty cold. Dolphins visited right up to the pier occasionally. We loved the house and its location.

Fun times by the bay

Really enjoyed this house. Loved the location. Lots of stuff to do in the bay, a short drive to the beach, and lots of great restaurants nearby. Kids were able to fish from the dock. Saw multiple dolphins. The dolphin tour boats pass by multiple times a day. House had everything we needed for our stay.

Bayfront Oasis

Great stay at Bayfront Oasis. Close to beaches, shops, and great restaurants. Loved the dock that overlooked the beautiful bay. Had lots of trouble with the keypad to get in the house almost everyday. The house could use updated pots and pans as they are too old to use. Otherwise great stay and would visit again.
