Perfect for what we needed

Lots of space to allow group to have meals, play games, or sit and talk. Beautiful location away from the crowds of the beach. Kitchen was well stocked. Home was very clean. Would definitely stay there again.

It was the perfect spot for those with small children that like to fish. The host was very punctual with responses. Very spaces and quiet. Honestly would have been a 5 star review; however the beds were extremely uncomfortable, so if you have back or hip issues this may not be the spot for you, but overall we were very satisfied and had a great time!!!

Our stay for Gulf Shores Nationals tournament

Such a beautiful cozy home next to the river. We came here for softball and our whole experience has been wonderful!! We enjoyed every evening out on the deck and some fishing. Not far from the ball parks was a plus!! Thank you for providing a safe and clean home!

Peaceful location

The house was perfect for our stay. It has amazing views off the back porch to watch the wildlife and was spacious inside. The pool table in the game room kept our kids busy while we visited in the living room. The house was also just a quick drive from the beach…maybe 15 minutes or so.

Wonderful place!

The property is great for families. There is plenty of room to spread out. Not far from the hustle of Gulf Shores, but far enough to have quiet. The host was great. Will definitely stay again!

Family Beach Trip

We had a great time at this property. Plenty of room for all 9 of us! My husband and son went fishing in the river and caught a few fish. We all enjoyed playing pool and going to the beach. Mary Anne met us at the property and to let us in and answer any questions we might had. She was very sweet and accommodating, and went out of her way to help us find some things we misplaced. The house was very comfortable, GREAT price, great air conditioning ! We’ll be back!

Comfy

This is an older home but very comfy. We had a lot of fun here and in this area. Electricity went out for an unknown reason, we called the manager and she reported it to the electric company and it was back on quickly. Loved our stay here.
