Return to Paradise
We have been vacationing on LGI for almost 20 years but this was our first visit to Docktails and it was wonderful. The house is well stocked and comfortable - lots of beach gear, towels, puzzles, etc. and a short walk to the beach. But as the name implies, the real star is the dock and outside porch; it is really perfect for hanging out and enjoying the peace of LGI. Tarpon Realty was terrific to work with, too, and very communicative. We will definitely be back!
