We were at this wonderful home December 25th-31st. We had a great time. Everything was perfect including the weather. Very comfortable and being able to step onto the beach from the deck was a big plus. Great place to celebrate Christmas with family, friends, and dogs!

We stayed at Wave Watch for 6 nights. We were so happy to find such a beautiful home and beach where we could take our dog. The deck and view were awesome and the living room, kitchen and dining area was open to accomodate several people. The furniture and deocrations were very nice. Our son and wife and our daughter visited us and they loved the seclusion of the beach. Our son was catching fish right in front of the house and we saw dolphins swimming by a couple of times. The sunrises and sunsets were very beautiful. This was our first time on Ft. Morgan Road and we were impressed. We usually stay in Gulf Shores but they do not allow pets on the beach in Gulf Shores. I would recommend this home to anyone wanting piece and quiet and to anyone who had a pet. The owner was extremely easy to work with. Thank you!

LOVE this house! It was the perfect size and layout for our extended family - 7 adults, 3 children and a dog. Loved being right on the beach - no need to carry a lot to the beach as the house was so close. We did rent the shade and that was great also. If I ever have this large of a party going again I will definitely try to reserve Wave Watch. You just can't go wrong here - the house is clean and well furnished. I just can't say enough good things about it!

What a lovely home to spend our vacation!

The house was perfect for our family and the easy access to the beach was such an added bonus. The home has everything a large family needs and made for a great vacation for us. We appreciated the kennel underneath the home so that our family dog could join us for vacation. We also appreciated all of Ruby's advice and helpfulness. We did take her advice and rented a sun shade on the beach, so that we could enjoy the entire day on the beach. We would definitely say this home is in a great location and was clean, cozy and welcoming. Absolutely lovely!!! Thanks Ruby for sharing your home with our family!

Beauty on the Beach

Our family vacation at Wave Watch June 4- 11 was an unqualified success for everyone. There are areas away from the water for small children to play with minimum supervision, the living space is large and seating (including napping spaces) was more than adaquate for our party of 10 plus some dropper-ins. The beds were great, the second refrigerator was put to good use, the deck is huge, and most important the house is ON the beach not near the beach. You will love this location if you enjoy being away from the condo crowds.

Beautiful Home In Perfect Location Away From The Crowds

This is a lovely home with a lot of room and comfortable furniture. It is steps from the beach, and you can leave your unbrellas and chairs there your entire stay without worry. We never saw more that ten people on the beach at any one time during our stay - which we loved! It was nice to find such a clean, nicely decorated home that was pet friendly. The only problem we had was that our Navy son only got to spend two days with us, and we could not book another week because it was already rented!!! We are considering trying for two weeks in the winter. Loved it!!!

We stayed at this home for the week of Thanksgiving. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this home is. Let me try. It is on an excellent location of beach, far enough away from the hustle of Gulf Shores to enjoy the beach without the crowds yet close enough you can drive into town to eat out or have a few drinks. The home is nicely furnished with all the amenities one would expect from home. Wonderful TV for watching the games if you happen to be there during football season. The beds are comfy and there are plenty of dishes for a large family if you decide to cook yourself. We will definately be back next year. Thanks Ruby.

To put into words our wonderful time her would be a novel! My parents and I, and my husband and five young boys ages 9-10 months just got back from Wave Watch, and we had a blast. We loved the home. It was very comfy, had almost everything we wanted to cook with, and plenty of room for us all. The beds were so comfortable, we didn't want to get up, except that the beautiful view from the master bedroom kept calling me out to the private balcony as the sun rose in the morning. The house was right on the beach, and had a nice little area for the boys to play safely away from the water. Everything was just as it was pictured! The house was very clean, too. Ms. Ruby was very helpful with any questions I had, also. The house was definatley a place to come back to. I recommend crabbing, kite flying, and, and sitting on the deck at night with some coffee or hot chocolate. We ate at DeSotos Seafood Kitchen, and it was wonderful. The shrimp platter was worth the money. The kids meals were reasonable. Plan to stay a week, because once you walk into this house, you'll be at home, and you definatley won't want to leave. WE didn't! Already planning for next year!

My family and I stayed in this wonderful home last week and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The house is very spacious and I love that 3 of the bedrooms have full bathrooms attached. The view from the house to the beach is outstanding as there are full windows all along that end of the house. The deck is also a great place to relax. It is huge and very easy to enjoy the beach and ocean from there. I also love the hammock under the house. We were so comfortable there and really able to relax and enjoy the beach and ocean. We were a little concerned about how the oil spill would effect us and we chose not to swim in the ocean. But the beach is very clean and crews came through and clean it every night. We sat down in the sand some and we spent time up on the deck. We were all very satisfied and that incudes our kids ages 3 to 7. I highly recommend this house this summer. It was well worth the trip!!

Owner response:We appreciate guests like you and are pleased that the oil has not ruined our beach.

Our family and another family rented this house for spring break 2010. 4 adults and 5 kids aged 6-11. We had never rented a house in Gulf Shores area before and had no expectations. We were looking for a comfortable house and quiet beach. This house lived up to both. The house was clean and the pictures accurately show the layout. Ruby was a big help in planning our trip and the list she provides helped plan what to bring and what to leave home. We will be back!!
