We wanted to do something fun with the kids. We originally planned to rent from another business…read morebut they didn't do rentals because of the lake flooding. They recommended we try Sam's Dock. The hours of the business say they close at 8 pm. No where on their site or at their location do they state the last rental was at 6 pm. We arrived at 6:02 and the woman wouldn't rent a jet ski to us. It was disappointing for the kids but we decided to return the next day. We arrived with plenty of time to rent a jet ski. There were 5 of us but it turns out we can't rent a jet ski for 3. Because of this, we didn't want to leave one child alone at the dock so we opted to rent one jet ski and my husband took the kids out to the lake one at a time. We sat at the restaurant, which was closed, in between the kids' turns. The minimum rental is 2 hours on the jet skis and you have to pay for gas on top of the rental fee. This was a surprise to us. We ended up having to pay an extra $50+ for the gas for 2 hours. Just be aware of that. This side of the lake there wasn't any parking fee so that was good. I think they provided us with a military discount, which was great. My husband mentioned the young man didn't know how to use the point of sale computers either. It took at least 30 minutes to check in and pay before getting on the jet ski so make sure to factor in that your timing.

This company is ran by a bunch of very young kids, and when renting out boats that go out onto a…read morevery busy lake it's unacceptable. We own two boats and have rented boats numerous times. We know our way around boat rental companies, lake rules and how to operate water devices. Yesterdays experience was so unprofessional it was hard not to just walk away, but because we had 6 young kids who were excited for a 'boat day' we kept moving forward. Upon arrive we noticed that we had an older boat. It looked small, had bird poop and spider webs all over it. I had to wipe everything down. The back rope tie by the ladder was cracked and we had to wrap it with a towel so our kids did not scratch themselves on it. We asked to switch to the newer boat and were lied to that the owner had the keys and were not on property. That is 100% false. They also did not have kid life jackets. How do you rent out boats and not have kids life jackets? Mind blowing to me. What they offered to us was from 1996. The other life jackets were way too large for our 7 year olds. Completely unsafe. They also didn't have any adult life jackets to offer us. We had to use the orange Titanic versions of life jackets for the adults. The captains chair was broken. So my husband had to sit on up on his feet to see over the top of the boat. How dangerous is that? The child who got us in the boat said "I will make sure and write that down so we don't charge you for that"... ummm how about let's talk about how dangerous this is? We made our way to our favorite spot on Grapevine lake and we turned the boat off so we could swim in the water. After 45 minutes we tried to turn the boat back on and the key broke in half. I called the office and I was answered with a 'hello'. They then could not figure out where we were on the lake. Mind blowing to me. My husband finally got the boat started with his pocket knife. We made our way back to the store. When we arrived the person asked if we had a good time like we were going to get off. We still had over an hour left on our rental. My husband went inside to speak to the 'manager' and he told my husband THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THE KEY WE BROKE. What on earth? Absolutely not. That's how you greet a customer after getting stranded on the lake from your rental boat. My husband said we want to move to a new boat and GUESS WHAT?? They magically had the keys to the boat we wanted in the first place. We moved our items over to the new boat (with no help from the staff) and finished the rest of our rental time. They didn't offer any discount. We were all so tired we didn't have time to speak to the 'manager' that was on site. We have lived in Grapevine since the 70s. I will NEVER recommend this place to any one. What a horrible experience and customer service.

After the gate is closed if you need to be let out, you have to call the police. But there's so much to do here! Not just the swimming area! There's a hiking trail, playground and walking trails. Beautiful views and plenty of space to social distance yourself. The trails are available for no fee as far as I could tell, but the swimming area near WhoaZone is $5. They do not take cash, only debit/credit card. The swimming area has a playground and picnic areas. I think there's a spot to cast your kayaks off over there too, but I stayed near the beach and didn't explore anything else. I saw vehicles with kayaks going over on the other side. If you have water shoes, I'd say bring them and a beach umbrella as there's no shade. The sand isn't too uncomfortable to lie in, there's just cigarette butts here and there. But I definitely recommend visiting for the day or even camping if you're into it!

Someone recommended this to me as a "sandy beach". It is a beach, and there is some sand, but the…read moreshore is probably a 50/50 mix of packed dirt and sharp pebbles. OUCH! The rock bottom extends out a couple of yards into the water, where it turns to clay. For swimmers, the rockiness is less of an issue - get past the rocks and swim/float your heart out, but the rocks along the shore make it significantly less enjoyable for babies. Running along the shore and splashing in the shallow water is painful without water shoes. For a true SANDY BEACH, check out Twin Points Park at Eagle Mountain Lake or Little Elm on Lake Lewisville instead. Twin Points is nicer, if you're deciding between the two. Pros: it's a pretty spot, with nice views. Plenty of parking - $5 per car. CREDIT/DEBIT ONLY. There is a dock for jumping off (which we didn't notice until we were leaving, sadly!). Not very crowded on a Saturday in August. Pretty clean, other than the bathrooms. Alcohol permitted (or if not permitted, certainly not regulated). Days swimming at the lake are SO MUCH FUN! Aside from the rocky shore, the only big negative was how gross the bathrooms were. We were there pretty early, so clearly they aren't cleaned daily. Also, the whoa zone is SO EXPENSIVE!!!! It looks fun but I cannot wrap my head around the fact that people pay that much to be there. It's $22 a person for ONE HOUR! Mon-Thurs they also offer a $50 all day pass. For our family of 7, I consider that cost prohibitive. Overall, it was a fun day at the lake, but Meadowmere Park is just not the best DFW has to offer.

This is highly unacceptable for an organization that claims it supports wounded warriors and disabled veterans. 10/2/2021 In response to the owner's response. I do appreciate taking ownership for missed communication, but expeditiously means "in a timely manner". My original request for a refund was 3 months ago, and as of today I have yet to see the refund. Once the refund is seen, I would be more than happy to return the knot rope, cert book, textbook, and the drawstring backpack they came in. Aside from that, I was offered for my family and I to attend a discovery sail at no cost. I declined due to time constraints now that summer break has ended. I will say this. I chose this school based on the reviews found on Google and Facebook which are really great, and at the recommendation of the ASA. I'm sure the captain is great and believe that other people may have had great experiences here, this is just mine. Take it for what it's worth. 4/22/22 We are now in to a year since I started this process, and this company has yet to make good on their "expeditious" refund. Nothing whatsoever.

Year after year, Mrs. Q and I would contemplate going, and after hearing the experience of others who have gone, we decided that the timing was right, so we finally went earlier this year on yet another sold out trip with 46 other members of our church. This all-inclusive trip included air, room, transportation, meals, and entrance to all of the holy sites in our itinerary. The only thing that we paid for on our own was food/snacks on our free time, some of the drinks at a few of our meals, souvenirs, and the robes we used for baptismal. Any follower of Christ should definitely consider this trip. I've included pictures of our itinerary, and depending on your guide, there may be additional visits to places not on the itinerary, time permitting.
