Excellent stay

The property is a little older but it was clean. My husband and I wanted a place off the grid a little and away from the noise of tourist spots. Plus he wanted to do a lot of fishing. It was the perfect choice with the private dock and in location. We would definitely look to book here again.

Didnt care

When we arrive to this property everything looked good except for when we opened up the refrigerator to put our food in it that we brought because we decided to rent this property because I had a full kitchen and we could save a lot of money by buying food and eating and cooking at the house we open the refrigerator and it smelled a horrible strong smell of fish rotten fish even the freezer even after we turn the ice maker on and made ice in the freezer it also smelled and tastes like fish it also made the house smell horrible throughout the whole house even after being gone for hours we ended up having to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars in buying food which was not in the budget and eating out for every meal and snack the only thing we were able to keep in the refrigerator was a gallon of tea and a couple of drinks unless they were drinks that were not completely sealed but still then the containers and everything still smell like fish and if you opened it it made the smell worse in the house it actually made my husband gag quite a few times I made this known to the property manager and nothing was ever resolved we were refunded 200 but I feel like the almost 1,000 of food that we had to buy because we had to eat out every meal still does not make up for the inconvenience and the extra money we had to spend and the property manager was rude all she kept saying is since we chose not to use the refrigerator I don't think anyone would want to use the refrigerator we al

Just what was needed…

We enjoyed our vacation to the Gulf Shores. We will definitely be back. The VRBO was convenient to all necessary items, while at the same time being remote and quiet. The location allowed us to relax enjoy the water or take a short drive to catch the ferry to Dauphine Island, walk at the wildlife refuge or shop at the Wharf.

From the booking, to directions, to all the comforts of home our experience could not have been better. The property is just as described, even better. We were so pleased with our stay and are looking forward to the next time we can be down by the bay!!!

Great time!

Our adult son stayed in the downstairs bedroom, I’m not sure if the smell was moldy or just the damp wood paneling, but he was happy there, the bathroom was very small downstairs so we didn’t use it for showers, just for bathroom breaks while fishing and cleaning fish (the fishing was great)! We enjoyed the views the whole time! And it was very peaceful and quiet. No complaints!

Spring break 2023

Brought friends and family to stay at this house for spring break. Plenty of room, clean, and pretty view with a private dock. Gas station in walking distance but quite a hike to the beach (15 min walk). Not many food delivery options but Walmart did deliver (multiple times lol).

Enjoyed it

Nice location away from the busy part of town. We caught fish off the dock every night. For $48 my family was able to go across the street and enjoy a pool day at the Beach Club. Ask the host for those details. Make sure you pack extra toilet paper,dish soap, trash bags and paper towels!

Great mini vacation

Great place to enjoy bay. Upstairs was very clean easy checking in. All the commodities just bring food and clothes. Checked the downstairs bathroom and bedroom kinda smelt like mildew didn't stay down there. Over all is was fun. Very tight driveway and it floods so wouldn't recommend bringing a trailer or anything large. Nearby convenient store and dollar general

Great house, weather not so much

To no one’s fault but my own, the 2 main things I didn’t care for was not being close to the beach and the end of January weather. I didn’t do my research well enough. This place would be awesome in the summer time with the breeze coming off the bay. Host was great and I actually love the house and the quiet neighborhood.

Home away from home

The only issue we had was the king bedroom didn't have a remote for the tv but we made it work cause the living room tv remote worked with the bedroom tv. We enjoyed sitting on the deck listening to the waves at night it was so peaceful. My family and I have stayed at other rental houses in many different states but this house made us feel like we was at home while we was on vacation. I would stay there again. PROS- we felt like we was at home while on vacation. CONS- missing remote

Perfect Getaway on The Bay!!

The cottage is very charming. We loved it! The pier on the bay was amazing! My son caught blue crabs for the first time and my daughter cooked them. They had a fishing contest and caught all kinds of fish! The location was perfect. The older kids went to the beach every day. The water was calm and clear!!! My daughter even loved the downstairs bonus room. We had a quick major storm one night and branches fell on my windshield and made multiple cracks. The company was very professional about it! We would love to return. We had a family of 8, and it was the perfect size!!!
