One of the most common Doctor’s Orders is to take a quiet walk.  During your vacation to the Doctor’s Orders Beach Houses you will have a number of these please walks around the neighborhoor and on the beach.  We are located two blocks from the white sands of our private beach and you will find the walk quite enjoyable.  About half of our neighbors live there full time and frequently go for walks with their little furry buddies taking advantage of our serene neighborhood lined with majestic Live Oaks and wonderful Beach Cottages with white picket fences.
