Perfect fisherman’s getaway

We loved being able to see the boat. Fish cleaning station and dock area are great!. The house is fully equipped with toys for young and old, indoor and outdoor toys. Clean. And……we love the island wildlife!

Return to Paradise

We have been vacationing on LGI for almost 20 years but this was our first visit to Docktails and it was wonderful. The house is well stocked and comfortable - lots of beach gear, towels, puzzles, etc. and a short walk to the beach. But as the name implies, the real star is the dock and outside porch; it is really perfect for hanging out and enjoying the peace of LGI. Tarpon Realty was terrific to work with, too, and very communicative. We will definitely be back!
