With a private boat lift, fish cleaning station, and sweeping deck views, this three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is built for those who want to live the coastal life to the fullest.

Enjoyed our stay
Thoroughly enjoyed our off-season stay. Didn't quite plan for 6-8” of snow, but certainly stayed very comfortable. Home is well-equipped. Great views. Easy access to the beach and boardwalk along the lagoon.
Property was very nice and clean. Very relaxing and peaceful.

Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you enjoyed the gorgeous bayfront home, relaxing sunsets on the dock, and the short walk to the beach. It’s wonderful to hear everything was perfect—hope to host you again soon!
House was conviently located, yet quiet. Fishing at the dock was good. Short walk to the beach.

Loved it!
This was our 1st time staying at the Doc- but won't be our last- our 4 legged babies loved it as well- we enjoyed the view-the yard-the convenient location- all of it- thanks again for a great vacation!

This place is nicely updated. It has a large yard and feels more private than a lot of other rentals in the area.
Great place for staying with your dog to have to have room to roam. Very clean

House was nicer than we expected. Pictures don’t do it justice. Perfect spot close to beach access and nice private pier. Would definitely stay here again.
