Great location!

This home was perfect for our first family vacation as a family of 4! The proximity to the beach was perfect! There was a restaurant and ice cream shop 2 minutes away which was great! It was 30 minutes from Gulf Shores where we spent 2 days as well. We were able to take the ferry to Dauphine Island one day which was a fun rreat

We had a very relaxing week. My husband played a round of golf every day and I relaxed. We enjoyed walking on the beach at the end of every day. Great location and only a few steps from the beach.

We’ve already booked it again!

Simply a perfect little house, cottage, bungalow by the beach! Donny & Kay are wonderful hosts, the house is just as pictured including the view of the water, and it’s clean and well stocked for a vacation stay. We had beautiful weather and an uncrowded beach; we’ll definitely be back! Thank you both!

We loved this house! It was the perfect size for our family of 4. We cooked all of our meals during our stay and the kitchen was nice and well stocked. Very close to the beach. Was easy to walk back and forth to eat and take breaks. Would definitely stay there again.

Father's Day getaway

The house was clean and had everything one could need to cook/eat in for the family . Everyone were happy with their beds ( we didn't use the extra since we were 5ppl. The 100 or so steps to the beach = awesome. We hope to be able to come back some day.

Beach Vacation

It was perfect for me and husband. The area was quiet. I loved how close we were to the beach however the house could use some updates. The front deck needs trance before someone gets hurt.

Great Vacation

We enjoyed the house. It was close to the beach and was comfortable. The house does need a little maintenance on the stairs. One side has been updated but the other side had some loose boards, handrail, etc. Otherwise, it was nice to be able to see the water from the back deck. The couch was nice and the bed was comfortable. Looking forward to a future stay.
