Exactly what we wanted!
Our family of 6 (parents and kids 15, 13, 10, and 1) had such a great time here! The home was clean and kitchen had everything we needed. The living area was so comfortable and we loved being able to see the water through the big windows. There was lots of storage space in the closets. We were close to the city if we wanted to go there but also close to the serene and tranquil beaches if we wanted to stay away from the crowds. We were so happy we brought our binoculars to be able to see the wildlife in the water and the air! It would have been helpful to have towel racks in the bathrooms for wet towels, but it didn’t affect how much we enjoyed ourselves. Definitely would recommend this location and will consider it next year if it’s available!

Family Wedding Weekend
We came down for a wedding and needed somewhere for our extended family of 7 to stay. This property was perfect! It was very clean and had cute decor. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the wildlife. The outdoor shower was great after our family went to the beach so keep sand from getting everywhere.

mini trip
We stayed for 4 days. A couple things we could have notified the manager on however we didn't want anyone coming in while we were gone. The main bedroom shower didn't drain well. Needs drano for sure. Temperature of the house was great. Loved the deck and seeing pelicans, and a dolphin. We didn't eat out much so would have been nice to have a few more dishes so we didn't have to wash so frequently. The TV in the living room - we couldn't get to work even after rebooting the router a few times. The manager said they had had a power failure the week before we got there and she could send the repair man to look at it, but we passed on that. The other TV's in the bedrooms worked fine. A couple things that would have been helpful to have are beach towels as we had to use the regular ones in the bathroom when we went to the beach. Another suggestion - lawn chairs would have been great to take out and sit on the deck. Overall experience was good and we enjoyed the area and our time there. Thank you. Alicia and family.

Wonderful stay!
We had a great stay! Our AC went out all of a sudden putting us at 85* indoor temp. They were very accommodating in relocating us until the tech could fix the issue. Communication was excellent! This is our 2nd time staying in this house and look forward to doing it again!

Perfect getaway home
This house was perfect for our vacation. We wanted a change from the condos and crowded roads of Gulf Shores to something more private and quiet and this house was it! We were still close enough to get to the beaches and activities in the Gulf Shores area, but also enjoyed what Fort Morgan had to offer. The pier, though a little small, gave us some fun fishing and lots of marine life (we saw hermit crabs, big crabs, jelly fish, dolphins and stingrays from our dock!) The house had all of the necessities for home cooked meals. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and we would definitely come back again!

Pleasantly quiet
We stayed here while in town for a baseball tournament. It was a little ways away from all the hustle and bustle of the congested part of Gulf Shores. Which was perfectly fine with us. It was nice to be able to get to a quiet spot with some water. Swimming here isn’t ideal, as it’s not a beach setting. There’s rocks by the dock, which again was fine with us. There’s was plenty of fish caught while we were there. The kids loved it. The inside of the house was very nice. Looked to be remodeled recently, or newly built. We would stay here again.

Nice, clea, cool
The house was clean and cool especially in the heat! Area is more secluded so we didnt have to deal with a lot of people/noise. We prefered that. Store, beaches, and activities locally and easy to get to Only downside was the room with the bunk beds. It seemed to us smaller then we thought. Couldn't fit a grown adult but would be perfect for younger kids. Thankfullt the pull out couch worked perfectly We enjoyed it and would rent again

Best view on the Bay
Our stay was perfect. Everything was exactly as described on VRBO. We were blown away at the view when we saw the house. It was exceptionally clean and stocked with all the basics for cooking. Our host was incredibly responsive. The location was so peaceful. We will definitely be back again. It was the best family vacation I have ever been on. I just can’t say enough about it!

Cute house on the bay
The house is beautifully decorated with an amazing view of the bay, with a dock. It has most everything you would need to cook meals in the kitchen and plenty of towels for both bathrooms. We would stay here again.

Worst experience ever
Rented a 3 bedroom home for our wedding, get there it’s a 2 bedroom had to find another place for wedding party to stay on Memorial Day weekend, called Vrbo then the code magically stops working and we have to evacuate the property the day after our wedding, I’m sure this is the honey moon my wife wanted. I have pics and videos of entire home showing it’s a 2 bedroom, when we got there the floors counters and cabinets were dirty and we had to clean , host and Vrbo very unacceptable in handling these problems ,

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. it was beautifully decorated. We felt relaxed and right at home as soona s we arrived. The home was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Everything was just as listed. The "dock of the bay" was the perfect added peice of our trip. great to fish off of. My husband and i enjoyed sipping ourcoffe on the deck in the mornings while looking out at the beautiful view. We will definitly book here again.

Just right
We booked this house for a three week stay. We are used to living in an area that is quite a drive to town, so we didn't mind the 12 mile drive to the beach in Gulf Shores. Even though we didn't have the best weather, we still got some golfing in. And the food in the area is never a disappointment. The bay was active with the pelicans and eagles flying by and fishing. Very quiet area.

The property is exactly as posted online. Perfect sized place for the 5 of us! Our only discrepancy was the trash situation. When we arrived the previous tenants failed to move their trash to the curb and it was overloaded. Luckily, there were 2 receptacles and we used the other which was also partially filled. We would definitely come back here again!
