We’ve already booked it again!

Simply a perfect little house, cottage, bungalow by the beach! Donny & Kay are wonderful hosts, the house is just as pictured including the view of the water, and it’s clean and well stocked for a vacation stay. We had beautiful weather and an uncrowded beach; we’ll definitely be back! Thank you both!

Father's Day getaway

The house was clean and had everything one could need to cook/eat in for the family . Everyone were happy with their beds ( we didn't use the extra since we were 5ppl. The 100 or so steps to the beach = awesome. We hope to be able to come back some day.

Relaxed at Summer Salt

We loved Summer Salt. Great location, great experience with owners. Close to the beach. We could hear the waves from the back deck. Great view back there. The beach access is so easy. Beautiful private beach. So nice to not be overcrowded. Our only issue was the sheets for the master bedroom. They seemed too big for the bed. Not a complaint, just an observation. House is so cute!! Well equipped.

Relaxing Spring Break Getaway

This was the perfect spring break rental for our family (mom, dad, and 9 & 10 year old girls)! We enjoyed seeing dolphins while walking on the beach in the mornings. We swam, boogie boarded, and played on the beach in the afternoons. The evening beach walks were great for finding crabs. The decks provide a perfect place to relax in the sun or shade depending on the time of the day. We also enjoyed hanging out under the house at the picnic table or on the swing. Inside, the home is clean, comfortable, and well cared for. The views of the ocean are actually better than the pictures show. We even saw dolphins from the kitchen window! The area was peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores, but close enough to restaurants and things to do. We highly recommend choosing Summer Salt for your vacation!

Great location!

This home was perfect for our first family vacation as a family of 4! The proximity to the beach was perfect! There was a restaurant and ice cream shop 2 minutes away which was great! It was 30 minutes from Gulf Shores where we spent 2 days as well. We were able to take the ferry to Dauphine Island one day which was a fun rreat

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this house when we first saw it. It is just steps away from a beautiful spacious beach. The views from the west deck are incredible and Bernard Court West is a great neighborhood community and a fun place to stay. The neighborhood is great and the beaches are among the most beautiful in the world.

With Tacky Jacks, the Fort Morgan Marina, Fort Morgan, the Dauphin Island Ferry and Mobile Bay just minutes away, this is one of the great vacation get-aways you could ask for!

What makes this property unique

Wonderful views and steps to the beach. Great Neighborhood, complete renovation and refurnishing of the house in 2013. Very large and spacious great room and kitchen combo. Island Living at it's finest!
