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 Jake, thanks for the wonderful review of Dock of the Bay!
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 Catherine! Thanks for the awesome review of Dock of the Bay!
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!

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!

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.
