Excellent stay
We had an excellent week long stay. Home was clean, well furnished, and they even had beach towels and chairs for us to use. My kids loved the canal out back, caught a few fish. And it's less than a 5 minute walk to the beach. Each room has a bathroom attached. And ac worked well even in the middle of 90 degree weather. Couldn't have been happier.

Family Vacation at Docks and Dunes
Absolutely loved the outside space. Being on the canal created a breeze which allowed us to eat, play games and fish without being too hot. The house was clean and stocked with all essentials needed to begin our family vacation. We had 7 adults staying, plenty of room inside and out, plenty of towels and comfortable beds. Hosts were very responsive and attentive to making sure we had everything we needed. Quick and easy walk to the beach made Docks and Dunes a great choice for a family vacation.

Lovely home on the canal.
Very clean and well maintained property. We enjoyed sipping coffee and cocktails under the large covered patio overlooking the canal. Fished a little too. Short walk to the beach. We’ll be back and hopefully bring a boat next time. Excellent location!

Absolutely perfect
Our stay was fantastic. Excellent hosts and perfect location and property. We were right on the channel with a short walk and access to public beach area. We brought fishing and crabbing gear and my boys were able to spend their time doing what they love. We also brought our paddle boards and were able to explore the channels. Home was newly renovated, clean and had everything we needed.

This is the place for you….
If you like sitting on a quiet dock, watching the water, grilling some food and relaxing…. this is the place for you. The internal design is awesome and everything is freshly updated and new. 4 bedrooms and 3 baths you can’t go wrong here. 2 blocks to a quiet family beach. We will be back.
