Very comfortable. We were in town for USSSA softball tournament and this was great. Given the heat and games having a washer and dryer was great!. Plenty of room for the 7 of us in great location and quiet neighborhood.

Enjoyed a beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood. Location was close to the beaches, but far enough to escape traffic & crowds. Management from reservation to check in and check out was very easy.

Wouldn’t you know we chose the once in a lifetime heavy snow at the beach week to be in Lower Alabama!!?? But, overall; we loved the warmer weather and fresh seafood. Snowbirding continues. Thanks for the great 1st month.

It’s funny how the weather can surprise you, especially when you're hoping for a warm getaway! At least the fresh seafood and warmer weather helped make up for the unexpected snow. Sounds like your first month of snowbirding was still a win overall. Do you have any favorite places you’ve been enjoying so far, or are you still exploring the area?
The place was close to things that we wanted to do. About 30 minutes from the beach and I wish that was closer but lots of grocery stores and restaurants and coffee shops within a few minutes. It was very clean and cutely decorated with all that you would need. Great neighborhood. I would stay here again!

We came down for my 11 year olds baseball tournament which happened to one minute from the home but not too far from the beach! We had the air out and a leak in master bath but the rental company was very prompt on getting it all taken care of! The home was just as beautiful as the pictures. We definitely would come back!

Hello Alyssa,
I am so glad you had a great time with us. We are glad these issues did not hinder your time with us. We look forward to your return trip.
Weather was perfect and the property was very close to what listing showed. Fenced in backyard was nice for our dog but the dog next door attacking the bottom of the fence has pushed in the boards. Be careful if you have a small dog. Needs a little repair

A little case of bad timing but there was a water leak when we arrived. We called and the Matinence team was out same day and we everything got taken care of quickly and mostly when we were out of the house
The property was great! The beds were very comfortable and the living space was awesome. Showers were a little small but I'm a little big lol.
Also there is a SatsumaTree out back which give free fruit for breakfast!!
Definitely staying here again!!

Not cleaned properly. Dirty baseboards and filthy windows not cleaned in a while. Bright white lights remained on shining in front bedroom. Refrigerator didnt work properly and needs replacement. Lack of supplies for stay. Very overpriced. Dont recommend. Should receive cleaning fees back!

We wanted to try out the area as a possible retirement location while also getting away from winter weather.
Great property, was the perfect size for us.
3rd bedroom was good for visitors (although I would only put a young child on the upper bunk)
Backyard was perfect for the dog, lots of room to run.
I work remotely and the back area was perfect for my desk setup with lots of windows and sun. Front porch was great for getting a bit of sun in between meetings.
We really enjoyed the Foley area. Cute downtown with monthly events in the park, great dog park, walking paths, and friendly people. Plus the outlet malls and lots of shopping, and OWA for addtionall restaurants and events. Its' a quick trip to Gulf Shores for beach and State Park trails.
The home is on a peaceful cul-de-sac and we had access to the attached garage for our car and storage.
Property company was helpful and easy to reach if needed.

Hello David,
We are so glad you had a 5 star stay and that you enjoyed this location. Foley has so much to offer and would be a wonderful area to retire to. We hope to have you stay with us again.
The house was clean, comfortable, and I appreciated the fenced backyard for my dog. The reason for 4 stars overall is that it was very lacking in basic staples like plastic wrap, dish soap, and a few spices. There wasn't even salt & pepper! In all of the 20+ vacation rentals I've stayed in, the hosts understood that visitors don't want to stock all of the basics when only a small amount is needed for the stay. Normally we see what is there, then shop for the few things needed, like laundry soap or a spice. What we don't use we leave behind, paying it forward for other guests. For this stay, we had to buy everything, use the tiny bit needed, then pack it up because we were told they didnt want us to leave anything for next guests. We found this very inconvenient.

Cute place, rude property manager
We booked this house for three nights for a softball tournament. I booked while in the car while my husband and I were running errands. Soon after they texted me a link to docs that needed to be signed within 24 hr. No problem. I’d do it when I got home. Then I got a second and third text about this form as well as an email and a call . Within an hour. So I texted back and told them it wasn’t even close to 24 hours to stop blowing up my phone. They then sent me a text telling me they were not going to let me cancel- which I said nothing about cancelling . I also saw an email they sent me later saying I requested a cancellation. When all I said was I’ll fill out the forms when Jm home stop blowing up my phone . Fast forward to check in. It clearly states on VRBO check in is 3 PM. I got a text that morning saying check in was 3-5. We had just driven overnight from Indiana so I wasn’t super happy about the 3-5. I texted them at 3:45 asking the status because the VRBO listing states 3PM and got a text back all in caps how sometimes it cannot be done by 3 during the busy season and early check ins are NOT permitted. I own a VRBO and a larger one and always have it cleaned by check in but if I didn’t, I’d apologize and explain . I was just entirely put off by the attitudes
The house itself was cute, clean and just as described. No problems with it but I’d never rent from anything with this management company .
