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. Cast a line at sunrise, rinse off under the outdoor shower, or let the kids and pets run free in the large yard — at The Doc, every day starts and ends on the water.

Inside, the open-concept kitchen and dining area is anchored by updated appliances, a large pantry, and ample counter space — everything a group of ten needs to cook, gather, and linger.

With updated bathrooms throughout, professional management, and a warm welcome for up to two four-legged family members, this is more than a vacation rental — it's the kind of place you'll be talking about long after you leave.

    The house was spotless and just as described… beautiful and updated with plenty of space. Absolutely wonderful location with fishing just outside back door and beach just a short walk away. Definitely would recommend.

    The ac did not work and the property manager said it would be two days to get the ac fixed didnt offer any box fans I had to request them at 10:30 at night! It was in the 80's in this house! The floors were dirty .. my crawling baby had black sticky dirt all over his knees and feet and all our feet had black dirt on them from the floorsThere was dog funny balls and hair in the corners in the bedroom and pet stains all over the furniture and blankets.We went to cook and there was left over grease on the pans and plates were dirty as well as the crockpot was not clean!

    The reason for the 4 stars is that the house needs some updating, and I think the check in time could be earlier because 4pm is very late (just my opinion), since check out time is very early also (10am, although we left around 7:30am). Picture from lifting rug up to see what was going on. The kitchen floor in front of the stove had a rug over loose flooring that needed repair/replacing, and moved slightly when walking across that area (a heads up and warning would have been nice). The outside hose sprayer was broken , the boat lift is very rusted and the lights through out the house flickered (may need new bulbs in different areas). The location was great, and it was nice and clean. We were not pleased with two of the bedrooms because they were extremely small, but adequate (pictured appeared larger). The biggest disappointment, and the reason we rented the house was for the boathouse, so we could launch and go into the Gulf to fish, but unfortunately, not being from the area, we did not know there is no access to the Gulf from the Little Lagoon. You can’t take a boat through the small pass. Do note it only has showers, if you have small children (we knew this before going). They could also supply full rolls of toilet tissue. Overall, not bad, just needs a little uprating. Last note, very strict on arrival and departure not a minute sooner than 4pm or a minute late for anyone who may struggle with this lol!

    We got to spend time at The Doc in February and it was amazing! There was warm and cool weather, but it didn't really matter because there was so much to do in proximity to the house. You can enjoy the dock on the lagoon or it's a short walk to the beach and to the many trails that my dog and I enjoyed in the neighborhood. The house is open, light and spacious and beautifully decorated. The view of the lagoon from the large living area or the covered deck was beautiful and relaxing...magnificient sunsets! The kitchen was well stocked and the house very clean and well maintained. The Doc sits at the end of a cul de sac in a very quiet neighborhood and is a peaceful setting, while still being only minutes away from the beach, restaurants and things to do! We will definitely be back!

    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.
