About this property

Bon Secour - Relax on the River

Quiet getaway right on the river! Relax on the porch and watch the wildlife - ducks, pelicans, turtles, even dolphins! Bring your fishing poles and fish right off the dock! Great kayaking too on the scenic Bon Secour River (kayaks not included). This adorable cottage is spacious enough to comfortably sleep 4 adults and 2 kids on the sleeper sofa. A full sized kitchen to cook up that fresh catch! 15 min to the Gulf of Mexico, 10 min to OWA and Tanger Outlets. The perfect family vacay!.

**NOTE: There are wireless cameras in the carport area and the front porch for added security for our guests. Sound recording is not enabled and no cameras are in viewing range of indoor areas. Anyone tampering with cameras may be asked to leave with no refund issued.

We stayed here over the 4th of July weekend for a family reunion, and the location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to my relative’s home where all the festivities were held. The rental itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. The host was excellent with communication, and having a great restaurant on-site was a wonderful bonus. I would absolutely stay here again.

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was clean and well-stocked. The location was ideal. Everything inside and out was comfortable. We really enjoyed the fishing and just relaxing outside. If we weren't over 5 hours away, we would visit again very soon!! We will be back, though!

Property was clean, beautiful and a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the day. We saw fish jumping and turtles from our balcony. Very close to everything while still being tucked away. Perfect stay for our little family. Host was incredibly friendly and responsive. Highly recommend

Perfect Stay

My wife and came to Foley to cater a wedding. The house was perfect for what we paid for it. The house was really clean, Kitchen was spacious and well stocked. I love that our car could be parked on the covered parking. I worked remotely one day while my wife cooked and we had great views of the river and the animals in the river. We only used the master bedroom, and used the guest room as storage. I have stayed in a few different VRBO rentals, and this one was by far the cleanest I have ever stayed in. There is a Dollar General not to far from the house and the beach and busyness is only 20 minutes away. The hosts we very responsive when I had a question. Definitely worth stay in.

Why they chose this property

We love the peacefulness that being on the river holds. The endless views and abundant wildlife are just amazing!
