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.

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!

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.

Love this great house right on the lagoon

Our family had a wonderful time staying at the Doc for New Years! The entire house was super spacious and had everything we needed. I particularly loved sitting on the deck looking out at the lagoon. So much natural light and views of the lagoon from the kitchen, dining room, and living room! The Kitchen had a very large walk in pantry and a lot of cabinet space for storage. We will be back!

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

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

Clean and Comfy!

We cannot say enough good things about our experience at The Doc! This property is BEAUTIFUL, and truly captures the best of both worlds—the peaceful waters of the Little Lagoon in the back yard, and the beachfront Gulf only 1 block in the opposite direction! The owner has paid careful attention to every detail—a well-stocked kitchen, very comfortable mattresses, games and puzzles for the family, outdoor beach chairs, TV's in every room, and more. We will definitely be coming back!

Well deserved 5 stars!

We have stayed at a lot of houses over the years in Gulf Shores and this is one of the best! Beautiful home right on Little Lagoon with a pier and dock to enjoy peaceful times and beautiful sunsets! And, when you want your beach time, it's an easy couple of blocks walk to the beach access! The house is beautiful, well maintained and well stocked...especially, the kitchen. We found it cute and clean upon arrival. The location also is great! Not only Little Lagoon and Beach access, it is near restaurants, grocery stores, etc. We highly recommend this home and will be booking it again!

Perfect get-a-way

I had the privilege of spending 4 wonderful days at The Doc. After a year of hits in life, this place was just what I needed to reconnect with myself & those I was with. The fresh air was so good for my soul. Early morning beach walks, coffee on the dock, playing games with friends, exploring the cute town, sleeping in a comfy bed, snuggling on the cozy sectional watching a show, making yummy dinners and drinks in the huge kitchen, all made for the perfect vacation! I highly recommend this house anyone looking to feel right at home while on vacation.

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!
