July Fourth Family Vacation

Had a great holiday week with the family! The house was spacious and the pool for the kiddos was a huge plus! The recommendation for the golf cart was greatly appreciated, it made traveling back and forth to and from the beach a breeze since I always tend it overpack! Will definitely be back! ❤️

Amazing Place to Stay

This was our second time staying in Gulf Shores and this place far exceeded our previous experience. The house was great but having the pool in the backyard was great as we had multiple children that required naps so we were not stuck inside. We rented a golf cart so getting stuff to the beach was no issue. Elisa was more than flexible with travel arrangements. One of the best part was being secluded from the downtown craziness but a quick and easy 15 minute drive or so to get to restaurants. Should we return to gulf shores we would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay

Had a great stay. Walk to the beach was a little farther than we anticipated, however we rented a golf cart and it was great. House was great for two families of four. Internet was a bit slow but not something the owners can control. Recommend hot spotting from a phone or other device. Washer and dryer on site made things really easy. The beds were very comfortable…so much in fact we may buy that kind for our next bed. Overall we had a great experience and communication with the host was impeccable.

Amazing home!

We had an absolutely amazing time this past week staying here. The location was wonderful. Home was very clean and very well stocked of linens. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need to cook meals with. The property manager Lisa was absolutely amazing! The pool was perfect. The crows nest was beautiful at night time. This was our first trip to Alabama and definitely won't be our last thanks to the amazing time we had here. If you're looking for a family friendly, peaceful location and overall relaxing vacation i highly recommended booking this home! :)

This place is AWESOME!

My husband and I spent the month of January at Big Blue Sea; our experience was way above expectations! Location, location, location! BBS is in a quiet neighborhood just a 5-minute walk to the private, quiet beach. The porches are amazing! Our dog enjoyed the large, private yard. While at BBS we saw the Blue Angels practice, dolphins, the International Space Station (twice!) at twilight, and star-gazed every night from the large back porch. The owners were kind and responsive. The house is well appointed with everything needed for a short or long get-away. Highly recommend for a short or long stay, especially if the beautiful beaches and privacy are what you are seeking.

Great house -- You'll enjoy it

We stayed a week at spring break and thoroughly enjoyed the house. Our group was 2 grandparents, 2 parents, and 3 older kids (high school/college age). Everyone loved the house. It is very well appointed with appliances, fixtures, towels, beds, etc. The beach is a short walk away (5-10 minutes), and you get a view of the beach from the decks. This is a quiet, family-oriented area with a beautiful beach. Grocery stores, etc., are a reasonable drive away. This was our second stay in the area, and we'll definitely try to book this house again when we come back. Property management was excellent. Check-in/out instructions, communications, etc., were all timely and informative.

Wow!

I will start by saying the communication with Elisa was incredible. What a great host! The house is beautiful and spacious. The pool was just the right size and refreshing. We were very close to the ocean. You can see the ocean from the upper balcony which we spent time having coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening. My family and I plan on returning. Also, my oldest grandson enjoyed the crows nest. It was a private getaway for him. Thank you Elisa for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Nice House, Great Vacation

The house was very clean, beds and bedding were comfortable. Kitchen was nicely stocked with cookware and utensils. The location was perfect. We loved the quiet neighborhood and private beach. We all had a blast in the pool. You should definitely rent the golf cart. While it is technically within walking distance, the golf cart is very handy when hot, sweaty and tired after a day at the beach lugging all your bags. We would stay here again!

Had a wonderful time, and appreciate onsite managers, Lisa and Jays help. House and pool were great, and glad we got the golf cart. Not far to the beach, but made it so much easier. Adding to our vacation spots to return to. Only drawback were the jellyfish, but that's nature for ya!!! Thanks Elisa!!!

Twice as nice...

Second time we have stayed at this property, and it was just as nice as we remembered. Great communication with the host. The only issue we had was with the coffee maker, and it was fixed immediately. We will be back, and would highly recommend. We have a family of 5, and 2 dogs, and we had more than enough room. Thanks for another great family vacation in Fort Morgan!

Pretty House

If you’re going to be rained in by a hurricane for most of your vacation, this house is a good one to stay in. All kidding aside, the house was clean and beautiful. The pool was nice and I didn’t find the walk to the beach to be too daunting. Would stay there again.

Great Place to Stay

I apologize for the delay in providing feedback following our visit to your home. Finding the right words to accurately convay our experience has taken some time, but I am pleased to finally share my thoughts. Our stay at your home was truly exceptional, and we have been enthusiastically recommending it friends and family ever since. Every aspect of our visit exceeded our expectations. From the serene and peaceful ambiance at night to the proximity of the beach, we couldn't have asked for a better retreat. A special mention goes to Elisa and Lisa, whose recommendations for local restaurants and assistance in arranging a golf cart rental with Tim were invaluable. Their insight added immensely to our enjoyment of the area. Moreover, the cleanliness of the house was exemplary, contributing to a comfortable and welcoming environment throughout our stay. In conclusion, our time at your house was nothing short of fantastic, and we are already looking forward to returning. Thank you once again for providing such a memorable experience. Warm regards, The Wood Family
