We loved our time at Dock of the Bay. My boys loved to wake up and fish off the dock and the beach was a quick drive away. We had plenty of room for the 6 of us and the management company checked in several times. Bald Eagle sighting was an added bonus! Highly Recommend !

Hi Gina, thanks for the awesome review, we're glad to hear your daughter is doing better and the Vitamin D from the sun helped out with her recovery! Thanks for choosing Harris Vacation Rentals!
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!

Hi Ami, thanks for the awesome review!!! We are so excitied to hear you had a great time at Dock of the Bay! We hope to host you again!
We had a great time at this home! We enjoyed the space inside and out! The house was clean and true to its listing! Made some great memories with my family! We will definitely stay at this home again!!
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.

Hi Rebecca, thanks for the feedback. We will be sure to relay this information for the owner!
Had a great time with friends. The house is very easily located. Was a perfect location and very comfortable stay. The house has the room for a large family or two families to vacation together. Anything you can think of is well within a short drive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Hi Christopher, thanks for the great review of Dock of the Bay! We're glad you and your family enjoyed your stay!
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!

Hi Ronda, thanks for the great review of Dock of the Bay! We're glad you got to see the marine life!
The home and location was excellent. The bedrooms were very comfortable and relaxing. Sitting out on the dock was very nice. A great surprise was seeing deer in the yard earrings the mornings.

Hi, thanks for the wonderful review of Dock of the Bay!
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!!!

Hi, thanks for the wonderful review! We're glad you had a wonderful vacation! Thanks for choosing Harris Vacations!
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.

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.

Hi Ryan, thanks for the feedback of Dock of the Bay! We hope to host you again soon!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this home on the bay, and it suited our needs perfectly as a family of 5 adults plus 2 grandparents. It is a lovely home set back off the road in a quiet area and on the water. There were beds for all 7 adults, and the fact that it had 2 1/2 baths was very nice. We made a couple of meals in the well-equipped kitchen (Keurig and drip coffee maker, pots and pans, muffin tin, measuring cups/spoons, colanders, etc.) and stored lots of food in the refrigerator. Our guys enjoyed fishing from the long pier with non-slip decking (the only change I would make would be some sort of covering over at least part of the pier's deck.) They caught fish almost every day, we watched the beautiful sunsets each evening, and even saw a few dolphins swim by. The back screened porch with a lovely swing allowed those who wanted to be inside/outside to have a nice spot with such a great view. Part of our group even ate one of our meals on the porch at the high table and chairs. There were gracious plenty towels which was really nice. And best of all, there was plenty of comfy seating for all 7 of us to gather in the den each evening where we played games. The only real issue we had the entire time was that the internet at times was very spotty. I am sure that is more an internet provider issue than an owner issue. We just used cell data when it went out. Thanks so much for a very enjoyable home away from home!!
