  Thanks Judy for the use of your beautiful home for our vacation stay. The pictures just didn't show the comfort we felt in your house, you were so helpful in making our stay pleasant. The Island was so nice, the clubhouse, pools and beach were all close by, just a short walk to the pools. Shopping was close and the Outlet Mall was just a short drive, the ladies enjoyed that. Golf courses were great, the guys loved that. We all enjoyed the porch and yard, the house was so comfortable, we didn't want to leave. We have recommended your home to some friends for their vacation. We really enjoyed Lambert's and Franco's, great food and close by, Hazel's was also a fave. We are already planning a return visit to your wonderful home. Thanks for everything.

  Owner response: Thank you very much for visiting and for the review... your personal recommendation is very much appreciated. We really enjoy our vacation home and the area, as well. Sitting on the front porch in the morning or after supper is quite pleasant, and having everything so close makes it great spot, but what is very pleasing to us, is when our guests feel comfortable and have a great time. Looking forward to when you can return, as you would be warmly welcomed.

  The house was as advertised absolutely beautiful. I was having a wedding on the beach down there and his family also has a place on the island. It suited my parents, two children, and fiance and I wonderfully. It was right next to everything I needed! It was just a short drive to Pensacola, grocery store right down the way so we could cook in the fully equip kitchen and grill out on the back patio, public beach parking just a short jog from the entrance, and only 20 minutes from a huge shopping outlet. It had all the comforts of home including comfy chairs in the tv room, a nice area to sit outside on the patio and eat, and rocking chairs on the front porch to rock on if you happen to have a rainy day or just want some alone time to read. My parents have rented houses before however I never have. Judy made the experience very easy! She helped me step by step in the process and was very easy to get a hold with any questions I had that needed answered. She was even sweet enough to leave a wedding card for us. I would definitely stay here again!

  Owner response: Thank you...It is always nice to hear a genuine, positive review. Each year we try to improve the house and personalize it, to make it comfortable for each renter. This year we worked extensively outdoors on landscaping and the back patio. We hope that you have the opportunity to return and enjoy some time away again. Our cleaning staff indicated that you left the house in excellent condition, and you are most definitely welcome back anytime. Judy and Tom

  Judy and Tom present a product as advertised. The house and surroundings could not be better. If you just wanted to sit in or out and read a book, it was there. If you wanted swim, jog, tennis, golf, fish, sight see, etc, walk out the front door and you were there. Our stay was for one week and every minute was enjoyable. Even the short rain squalls were a pleasure: a nice walk in a summer rain. The only regret was to leave so soon. Hopefully we can return next year. Thank you, Judy and Tom, for providing this opportunity.

You were wonderful guests, looking after the house, and you were the first guest to call us to let us know when you were leaving. Your thoughtfulness was very much appreciated. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back next year. Judy and Tom

  My wife and I, three daughters, two sons in law and 3 grand children spent a fantastic full month in this wonderful home. Everything is in best order in this house, you can immediately feel home. If we needed help, Judy was right there to advise (per mail or phone, because Tom and her live in Canada). The pool is just 5 walking minutes away, like next door, beautiful and well taken care of, spacious and most time (in May) just for us. The beach is a 5 minutes drive, lots of space on the beach, in the morning you see fish jump. It is a place we sure want to return to.

  Owner response: Thankyou very much for your review. We strive to make everybody's visit enjoyable, and it's nice to know we succeded this time. Thankyou also for the extra care you to took to treat our home like your own. We would definitely love to have you and your family return. Judy and Tom

  My family recently stayed at this beautiful house this past July. The house is very spaces, secluded, relax, peaceful, and the rental price is very reasonable. Yet, it is just minutes to the public beach. Even the backyard has white sand; my nephew and niece love it. Oh yes, my brothers and daddy love fishing, so the ice maker machine was a plus. We hope to come back again! Judy, thanks for sharing your home with my family.

Thankyou for your stay and for taking such great care of our vacation home. Judy and Tom

  This home was the perfect place for us to stay. We had two small families and with the living, dining and kitchen area in the center and the bedrooms down each side (each with their own heat/cool system) each family had a private area for themselves. The furnishings are very adequate and the layout is perfect for one large family, two small families or 4 couples with each having their own private areas. We enjoyed our stay immensely and the owners were very responsive to any needs or questions we had. We would certainly recommend this home to anyone looking for a home away from home.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

  Owner response: It is a pleasure to know others enjoy our vacation home as much as we do. It is our intention to offer accomodations that will make your stay relaxing and comfortable. In the future, we will continue to strive to make your Ono vacation special. Thankyou both for your comments.

  This place is terrific! Our stay here was everything we expected. There was 'lots' to do. Everyday was a new adventure. There is plenty of room for two families to share the accommodation because of the split floor plan. The neighbourhood is quiet and spacious as seen from the picture above.. Loved to sit in the back yard. It's like sitting in your own little natural setting and very private. The community club house is very large and great for the fitness enthuseist which is just down the street. We enjoyed our walks along the white sands of the Gulf of Mexico just off the bridge and across the road. The photos of the property are just as you see them. There are no surprises. The property is well maintained. Everything that a kitchen needs is there. Even the weather co-operated with us while we were there. We definately recommend this place and look forward to coming back.

  Owner response: Thankyou for your review. We are so very glad when guests are happy with their accomodations. We hope that you will be able to return, when you are looking for a great place to stay on Alabama's Gulf Coast. Thanks again Judy and Tom

  My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at this location for one week at the end of February. The accommodations were terrific. The house was newly renovated and everything was very clean and comfortable. The house is very spacious and laid out in a split format where two bedroom are on one side of the house and the other two on the other side - this affords privacy if two families are renting. The bed mattresses were new and we had no trouble getting our 40 winks each night. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed for cooking. The house is in a quiet residential gated community on Ono Island which gave us a sense of safety and security. The area is great for walking or biking and a short walk away brings you to a fully equipped gym and pool area. The house is very close to white sandy beaches and we enjoyed many long strolls along the white sands. Shopping and amenities are close by and easily accessible by car. We highly recommend this rental for families or couples. We hope to return again next year.

  Owner response: Thankyou very much for your response. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay, and we hope that you have an opportuntiy to return. Please keep us in mind for your next Southern get-away. Thanks again Tom and Judy

  MY wife & I soundly enjoyed the comfort & spacious of this 4 bedroom, mint condition home. This very private location gave us certainly a comfort of security, first being on a gated island with total security as you enter from the mainland across the bridge. It is a very quite & elite area which featured a club house with indoor pool, tennis courts, basketball court, exercise room. We were impressed with the size, how quiet the area is, the ability to support 2 families if needed with the privacy of bedrooms being in 2 different areas of the house. The flooring was both ceramic in the kitchen to hardwood floors throughout. With low traffic we enjoyed many walks in the neighourhood and after you leave Ono lsland, you walk across the road and have miles of white beach sand to enjoy the ocean side. There are so many restuarants and shopping to enjoy. I would certainly revisit this property again. Thank you. Greg Leach.

  Owner response: Greg. Thankyou very much for those kind words. We are certianly happy you enjoyed your stay here. We loved the fact that you left the house in perfect condition, and hope that should you wish to return to this area, that you would stay here. Thanks again Tom and Judy.
