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!
Perfect So shiny and new , Such a quiet peaceful spot !
Honestly , I was so inspired and excited to find this hidden gem . such a beautiful , clean modern place to bring my Adult children from all over the world . The beds were so comfortable and had the softest crisp white linen sheets . We cooked meals together, shared stories if growing up while we cooked foid on the out door fire pit . I was do impressed with this property

From the owner: "Thresia thank you for this wonderful review, and the comment you left in the guest book was so heartwarming you are welcome any time."
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.

From the owner: "Thank you for the 5-star review."
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.
We enjoyed our stay here! The place was clean and peaceful, it is conveniently in the middle of Pensacola & Orange Beach to explore. I would rent here again.
