We seen dolphins in Little bay every morning and a few times in the evening. The house was everything it says it is and more. There were no life jackets for the kayaks. A quick trip to Walmart however remedied that. We fished a lot and caught a wide variety of fish. All in all it was a wonderful home, beautiful and comfortable.

The house is located perfectly at the end of a canal overlooking the ski basin. You have everything needed for a great trip.

The house was beautiful the location aswell .Of course the had life jackets that were missing so I couldn't go canoeing. Some of the items in the house need fixing .But for the most part it was amazing. The house was very cold and comfy..

This property is exactly the way it was described. The house is very clean, every bed is comfortable, and it is well stocked with supplies. We ate almost every meal at the house. Cindy communicated promptly for checking in and offered her availability if needed. The pool was nice and clean and the view of Little Bay was awesome. We were very happy with this house and look forward to coming back.

Fun by the Sea
My family has been going to Shepard’s by the Sea for the last 3 years and we always have a great time. There is so much room. We love being in the pool and sitting outside on the patio watching the boats go down the canals.

Wonderful on the water home
The house was so beautiful and had plenty of stuff such as paper towels, cookware, towels, washcloths, beach towels, air conditioner was amazing, one of our favorite things was fishing off the back dock. Able to catch lots of fish. The pool was nice each night to relax and unwind, the kayaks were fun also. Everything was just a short drive such as walmart, HEB, restaurants. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely come back.

Owners do Not maintain the property.

Excellent vacation home!
The house was very well maintained and clean. The location is a must see. On the bay and right by a channel. Being on Key Allegro was great since it was secluded and quiet. The home owners were great with communicating with me and the check in was super easy. I would highly recommend.

Exceeded expectations!
This trip was a multi-generational family getaway. With ages ranging from 2 to 66 this house was perfect for us! Room (we called it the basement bunkhouse) for the little ones to have a special place just for them and all three adult coupes had there own rooms with plenty of privacy. A dining area with room for all. The porch overlooking the water was a favorite gathering spot. Enjoyed watching hummingbirds in the abundant flowering foliage and dolphins offshore. All ages had a blast fishing on the dock below the house. A variety of small fish and not so small crabs were caught and released. Tip: crabs love hot dogs. The pool was an added plus that we all enjoyed. We would be happy to book this house again!

Awesome Location
We enjoyed our short weekend stay. The location is fantastic with amazing views. There were some slight issues with tidyness when we arrived but owner quickly addressed. Love their were games available to play in the home. Also enjoyed fishing right into the canal. We will definitely stay again.

Nice home with a good location
It was a very nice home, we enjoyed the pool and the view. Only drawback was we went to go kayaking on the bay only to find out one of the kayak pedals was broken. I notified the property owner and was told she forgot to tell me about that. So, only one kayak was operational, and no one wants to go kayaking alone. Wanted to fish at night and the pier lights weren’t working so that was kind of a bummer as well. The house was very clean, and did have everything we needed to cook, eat and sleep. All in all it was some good family time.
