About the host

Hosted by LORI A Barker

Host profile image

We purchased this property after spending a week as visitors. We fell in love with the relaxing atmosphere. We hope you love your stay as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We've vacationed in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach our entire lives. We knew we wanted to find a home away from home here but never found the right spot. We stayed at this property and never wanted to leave. We're thrilled to share it with seasonal renters.

What makes this property unique

We take special care of the property because we use it often as a family. We gave it a facelift in April 2022 for a fresh look for the summer season. Close enough to the action to enjoy all the amenities of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach but far enough away from the crowds to spread out and enjoy the beach.
