5 Star Stay

This was our second time to stay at the Kat's Meow and we absolutely love it there. The location is amazing and the resort has everything you need. The new outdoor shower is a great addition. Mike was a fantastic host and responded quickly to my questions. We can't wait to go back for another week!

Great Family Time

I liked this house from the first time I saw it. We were going to have mostly adults and the sleeping worked out fine. Also, everyone was coming from different directions meaning several cars. I thought 5 but it turned out to be 6. I sent Mike a request on parking the number of cars expected. He was fast to respond that yes it could handle 5 and that the resort had extra parking if needed. As it turned out, it handled 6. The people at the guard house were very friendly and also informed us of the extra parking if needed. All driving, check-in and check-out directions were given in a timely manner and accurate. Everything went without a hitch. Each time I contacted Mike I got a very timely response.The house was great!! Beautiful view of the beach with easy access. The master bedroom is something else. On first seeing, my wife thought it was a second living room. Huge. We loved the location. Far enough out towards Fort Morgan to be a quieter area but still convenient to the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area.The closest thing to a negative that I have is that it truly has only the basics supplied. This isn't a complaint. It is as advertised as all VRBO houses advertise this. There are plenty of cooking utensils/pots and pans. One set of silverware. If you don't want to have to wash silverware each meal take some plastic ware and paper plates. No seasonings, laundry or dish detergent. As advertised. We usually wait to get this stuff on arrival as some houses do have some items.

Nice place to stay!

Overall it was a nice place to stay. It could have been cleaned a bit better (dirty towel still hanging from the door, hair in the shower). Good communication with Mike. Quickly got a repair done while we were there (broken railing). Nice complex, with other places available for those that don't fit/want to stay in the same house.

Great Location

Located on the beach and close to outdoor amenities. Plenty of room for the family. Communication with owner is very timely. Not all of the tvs were set up to work. We were there the coldest week in February and did not have access to indoor amenities so had to rent a studio to get the indoor amenities.

Best trip ever

Sixteen of us stayed at Cat’s Meow for five nights (four days) over Thanksgiving. Adults were outnumbered 10 to 6, with children ages ranging from 6-16. The best thing about this house is that it is indeed ON THE BEACH as listed. Nothing but sand between the house and the water. The main living area provided views of the Gulf, and gorgeous sunrise and sunset views. We ate all meals at the house, using an extremely well stocked kitchen. There are plenty of plans, bowls, utensils and even two crock pots, which are not mentioned in the listing. The open kitchen/dining/living room area suited our group wonderfully. The lower storage area under the deck is very well stocked with beach toys and chairs (which are in perfect condition). The outdoor shower is amazing for rinsing off covered-with-sand kiddos. The washer and dryer was a blessing! The set up of the rooms wasn’t perfect for our group, but there is no way it can be for every individual group. We made it work. Our group used the indoor pool on a rainy day, but we had problems with the key card and were not able to use it a second time. Our host is looking into that issue, and I’m sure it is corrected already. We had no issues during our stay that required communication with our host. Everything was as stated. We thought this trip might be a once in a lifetime event, but everyone has agreed that it needs to happen again. Highly recommend this home and host.

Best house in Ft Morgan

Great house, plenty of room for our party of 7 adults and 3 little kiddos (under 2). Loved having the second fridge for beverages, plus a wine fridge! Right on the beach, next to the boardwalk and very close to a community pool. Would definitely rent here in the future.

Easy access to a non crowded beach. Host is quickly responsive to any questions. My only recommendations would be to organize the closet with the beach gear. The gear ( chairs, umbrellas, canopies) are all broken or of poor quality. I would definitely stay again.

Liked: Check-in

It was ok

At first glance, we loved it. As we started to settle, we started noticing things were not very clean. None of the rugs were vacuumed, the oven was dirty and smelled of old grease and there were dead bugs under the tables in the living room. Also, we had issues with the refrigerators not keeping our food cold enough. We had to throw milk away because it spoiled due to this issue. I did message the host but he made it seem like it was our fault, as if we don’t know how to properly operate a refrigerator. I think the problem is that it’s old and needs to be upgraded. I will say the location to the pool and beach was great, super convenient; but, if you like to shop or go out to eat, it’s quite a little drive. For this reason, we probably wouldn’t stay out that way again.

Our family of 13 had the best time at Kat's Meow! The location and house were perfect!! We loved everything about this place! The pool and boardwalk to the beach were so close and the house had everything you need for enjoying the beach! The views from the two balconies were amazing! I can't say enough good things about our stay. No one in our group had one complaint and it is definitely our favorite place we have ever stayed. We hope to have the opportunity to stay again!!

About the host

Hosted by Mike

Host profile image
Mike and Kathryn (Kat) welcome you to our beach home.

Why they chose this property

We found the people and beaches of Gulf Shores to be hidden gems. The location offers solitude or fun and games at your whim.

What makes this property unique

The views from the balconies are outstanding. There is abundant wildlife and even nesting sea turtles in season. Look for our pal, the big Blue Heron. He likes to perch on the balconies. The dolphins can be seen most days playing in the surf. There is nothing better than sitting on the deck with a cool drink watching the sun slip into the ocean.
