Loved this property! Very clean, comfortable bed, awesome private covered back deck with private pier. Visited Fort Morgan, took ferry to Dauphin Island for the day, and close to Gulf Shores. Some of our favorite restaurants nearby were Sassy Bass and Tacky Jacks. Will definitely be back!

Great Getaway
Beautiful view and loved watching my son fish on the pier. We would definitely stay here again, but will bring some extra sleeping arrangements since mattress on couch is very thin. Overall, it was exactly what we needed and wish we could have stayed longer. Host was very helpful and responsive.

Anniversary Weekend
The house was a perfect size for just the two of us. It was cozy and equipped with everything we needed. My husband loved the long, private pier to fish off of and made friends with a herring that he fed small fish to. There were several restaurants and pizza places close by and also a very well stocked Dollar General. We will definitely be back.

Had Fun
Very restful, quiet area but close enough to go to Gulf Shores, etc. We loved the back porch and long pier. It was big enough for two people, the kitchen and bath rooms were very nice and supplied well. We will request it again

Great Little Cottage
Place was just as described. Loved fishing from the dock, and we even caught a few fish. Clean and comfortable. Loved the old wood floors. Reminded me of my great grandma and grandpa’s floor. Brought back some great memories. Just peaceful and relaxing.

Relaxation by the Bay
This is such a sweet little cabin. We have stayed twice. Breakfasts on the deck are my favorite part; however, the addition of an indoor table was definitely welcome during a round of severe weather. The empty lot next to the cabin makes it feel secluded. It is also a great spot to watch birds and dolphins.
