Not just a Summer Paradise!

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!

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.

Birthday Celebration

Our stay was wonderful, the house location was easy access to all the places we went and tucked away so it was very quiet and peaceful. The fishing off the dock was amazing and everyone was catching a verity of fish. The house overall was very nice and decor and colors were perfect. Looking forward to renting this location again. The only thing I could request would be a later check out however this rental should be in high demand. Thanks for a wonderful stay and we will be back

Great Home, Nice Improvements

This was our second stay at The Doc. It's a great house in a great location. Last time we had some ants in the kitchen. NO ants this time. Home is very clean and well decorated. Also, the new bedding is a great improvement over what was there last year. I highly recommend this property.

Gulf getaway

This was a beautifully done home. The baths and kitchen were gorgeous. Management was easy to work with. View was excellent.neighborrhood was safe , quiet and nice. I will say there are no spices, salt, pepper so bring your own. Also one small rotten area on deck could injure someone. Will return for sure

Wonderful location!

We really enjoyed this clean, modern, beautifully decorated and well-equipped house. It was like a lake house and a beach house in one! We loved watching the herons, pelicans, and bluebirds from the back deck. My kids had a blast finding crabs in the lagoon. We enjoyed Ripstiking and roller blading from the house to the bike path, and we saw an alligator on our "Alligator Island Pier" walk. Our dog enjoyed the nice big yard. We ate at the Beach House Kitchen with our dog one night and walked home and really enjoyed the burgers.We would definitely come back. It was the perfect house to spread out and enjoy a restful Spring Break. It's usually hard to find such nice dog-friendly rentals!

Relaxing Get-a-way

The DOC is the perfect relaxing get-a-way! We took our first family spring break vacation to Gulf Shores. The Doc is an amazing house that makes you feel right at home. Gorgeous views of the lagoon and a short walk to the ocean. Plenty of space for everyone in the family to be comfortable. I highly recommend this place!

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
