Beautiful Place for a Bargain

We had the most amazing stay during April! The house was new, clean, beautiful and secluded. We got to watch fireflies dance in the night sky, see deer enjoy their breakfast while we drank coffee on the patio and enjoy a musical concert from the local bird population. The location is about a 25 minutes drive to the beach, shops and restaurants. We will most DEFINITELY be staying here again!

Stay in Lillian

Overall it's a great rental. It is a little small, but very cute and has a great yard. The only downsides are that none of the yard is fenced in, so if you are bringing pets they will need to stay on a leash. Also because the rental is through a third party, I was unable to communicate with anyone until given the rental details that included contact information for the cleaner but you don't get this information until 3 days prior to your reservation date. Again though, it was overall a great stay. It's in a very quiet area, so it is very peaceful and it is right on the border of Alabama/Florida so plenty of options for food and sight seeing.

Property was very clean and well maintained. Located 25-40min from multiple beaches in Florida as well as Alabama. Check in was straight forward. Great for a max of 6 people in my opinion,which was the size of my group that stayed at this property. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place that will give them a bang for their buck.
