Since we don't have a kitchen sink it will never have a stove or oven for cooking. We do have a flattop grill, gas and charcoal grill and a microwave. We also have additional utensils by request. It was a pleasure hosting you. Thanks for choosing Dockside Paradise.

We had the best time even though the weather was not cooperating. We loved sitting on the back porch watching the rain and all the wildlife in the yard. The apartment is adorable and very clean, and the bed was so comfortable! Kelly and Coach made us feel right at home and were very accommodating throughout our stay.
