Family vacation

This is the third time we have stayed at this house. We love the location, dock, area to clean fish and the big screen porch. That’s where we enjoyed sunrises and ate all our meals! We really loved having a second refrigerator! Thank you Nichole for sharing your home!!

Family vacation

We had a wonderful week!! Beautiful sunrises every morning. The beach was a manageable walk, most every evening there were spectacular sunsets, excerpt for a few rainy days. The kitchen was well stocked and our family had plenty of room to relax.

Awesome place on the bay

There are many good features about this house. Parking is a big one if you have multiple vehicles and/or a boat and trailer. Also has a big kitchen, ample room and all on one level us a great feature for older travelers. The long dock gives great access to the bay.

Family Time

The home is very roomy with a great location! We enjoyed having a dock for our boat. Our favorite room was the large screened porch to watch sunrises, drink coffee and enjoy each other! Of course the weather was perfect and not to hot so we ate all of our meals outside!

Peaceful and relaxing

Very Large nicely furnished home with beautiful view of the bay. The home was cleaned well with the exception of the bathrooms and they could have used more attention. Our stay at the Dock of the Bay was very peaceful and relaxing.

Peaceful, Beautiful Vacation

This is our 4th time to stay at the property. We love it because the guys love to catch and release from the bay in our backyard. They bay is calm and you can paddleboard or kayak and see the sharks, sea turtles, fish, crabs and stingrays all day long. It is quiet, we can boat to the tip of the penisula or go across the street to the gulf side and swim.

Safety and cleanliness

I would have liked to have our cleaning fee refunded. 1) the floors were sandy and had obviously not been mopped 2) we had to buy bleach cleaner and clean the mildew from the showers 3)the kitchen pantry and drawers had debris 4) we had to wash the pot holders before we could use them (they were caked with old food residue) The house has such a nice layout, plenty of room, good location, and the AC worked great. But it really needs some TLC. We did not feel the back porch was a safe place for small children, with only the screening that was loose in places and no railing. And the 16 month old grandson could open the front door by himself. We had to barricade it as best we could.

Started out rough!

The house had not been cleaned and the water was turned off when we arrived. After contacting the owners....they apaulogised and refunded our cleaning fee appropriately. But that was all we got....we still had to clean the house ourselves after a long drive to get there before we could go to bed. The next day a cleaning staff showed up and cleaned while we were there. Think we should have been refunded some of our rental price.....the cleaning fee paid to us at the very least since we cleaned the house ourselves. You go on vacation to keep the house clean while you are there...not clean up after the people before you. Other than that rough start....we made it work and enjoyed ourselves. There is a kayak at the house that has a crack in the bottom . Should be removed from the property. We put it in only to have it start to sink . Had to drain and take back...long walk down the dock.

Needs a new housekeeper

The house itself was absolutely wonderful. Accommodated all of our guests comfortably. Upon arrival we noticed a couple things, nothing major. Dead flies in the window in the kitchen, some sand/crumbs on the counter...nothing big. Our group drove all day to get there so we loaded up to catch the sunset on the beach. The very next morning while drinking coffee we started to notice other things. The big tub was completely dirty, trail of ant's in that bedroom, dust bunnies under the bed and dressers, every single window that led to the covered back deck (which is also amazing) were so dirty you could barely see out of them. We (my sister and I) got to work cleaning this house so we could legit feel comfortable. Being curious at the amount of dust bunnies, I opened the return where the air filter goes and it looked as if it has not been changed in months! I personally called the number left to get in touch with the property manager....I'm guessing that was for a fax machine. I personally emailed the property manager with no response. Overall the views from the house were magnificent. The house is wonderful and cozy...when it's clean. My personal opinion, they need new housekeepers! And maybe be a tad bit more available for your guests.

Great Location, Poorly Maintained, NOT Kid Safe!

I will start off with the pros of this rental: - Great location on the bay - Pretty, spacious house - wonderful bay views Now for the cons: - If you have children, know the front door does not lock from the inside. We had to put a door stop and a baby gate at the door because our toddlers, age 18 months and 15 months, kept opening the front door, trying to run outside. It is an electronic keypad, but no deadbolt to keep locked from inside. - The screened porch is not safe for small children. It is torn in several areas and is ripping at the "seams" where it connects to the posts. If a child leaned up against the screen, they could easily fall 10+ feet to the ground. There is also an exposed stairwell with no door/gate/safety mechanism. -water went out twice the week we stayed; I contacted the property owner at her emergency contacts, left several voicemails, and never got a returned phone call, or message. The water did come back on by itself, but the property owner never checked to see if things were ok. - 3 of the 4 toilets clogged at the same time....insinuating a plumbing issue. There was no plunger in the house for us to try and fix the issue. - the real kicker for us however....upon taking the sheets off of our beds to place in the laundry room as directed per check out rules, my mother-in-law found a pair of womens underwear at the bottom of the sheets of her and her husbands bed that belonged to no one in our group! Overall, the house is beautiful, but poorly maintained. The property owner is extremely hard to reach, even at her emergency contacts. Luckily for us, this was not our first stay on the Cape, we knew the area well and were able to enjoy the outdoors. Our stay was nice, because we made it nice, the house definitely didn't make it easy for us. We would not recommend this vacation rental, and definitely will not be staying in this particular home again.

Unacceptable house

We were very dismayed as we drove on the property. It was not at all as it was described in the listing. Screens were torn, a shutter hanging, water standing all around the property, and trash and debris from workman all around the yard. The inside of the house is dated. Something gross was all over a refrigerator . We use VRBO a lot and have always been pleased. Not this time! The property manager contacted VRBO to refund our money. I’d like a call from someone to adddres this bad situation.

Super deck & dock!

We really enjoyed this house for Christmas! Love the open kitchen/den/dining floor plan, plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, ample comfortable seating on the massive deck. I spent most of my time on the deck. The kitchen was mostly well-stocked, love the layout and so much counter space. Great covered parking under the house. The view from the back deck is magnificent, and has a great view of the sunrise. The sunset was easily viewed from the front deck. The yard is massive, big enough for a pile of kids to run around. The solar lights on the dock are excellent! The very shallow water along the bay shore looked so inviting but it was too cold when we were there to get in. It would be a superb area to paddleboard or kayak. The control on the master shower is one with no adjustment for volume, with full blast being the only option, so the hot water didn't last very long. But the shower head was great. A few minor things could use some attention, the front porch furniture was rusty and flaky, the windows were dirty, the bottom of the dishwasher was falling off though it seemed to wash the dishes well. I would recommend this house and stay here again.

Doc of the bay stay.

This is lovely home, however, a lot of little irritating things could've been better. Outlets not working. Torn screens, shower head issues. One bedroom not really a bed room. No closet or dresser. For the amount of money these issues should be addressed. I read some of these same complaints in other reviews months ago.

Neglected Property

FIX THE BACK PORCH BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES! The stairs coming from the screened in back porch to the dock are barely connected at the joists and shakes significantly (fyi I’m an engineer). We were not able to check in until 4 e.s.t., when it was supposed to be 3 p.m. Contractors/painters parked in our front yard the entire stay and would not move. We had young children and that did not make us feel comfortable. Construction was going on next door with the contractors family living in a mobile home on property line. The yard was full of trash and the house was barely clean. Many aspects of the house is nice but for the most part this property is very neglected. Faucets didn’t work, nasty showers, I could go on and on. This property has a ton of potential but I would not stay here again.
