This was our first visit to the gulf, and we absolutely loved it! "Little place in the sun," was very comfortable and overall a great place to stay. It was nice to use the kitchen every morning to make breakfast, then head to the beach. We did several of the "things to do" on Janet's list and loved everyone. We would defintely recommend Ft. Morgan and especially making the drive over to Pensacola to tour the Naval aviation museum and lighthouse. As far as places to eat, Janet has a pretty good idea about those as we ate at several. One that we would recommend that was not on her list was the Gulf Island Grille. It was really excellent. It is going to be really hard to go back to the Atlantic after visiting the Gulf!

Great Place to Stay

We stayed 7/15 - 7/23 and absolutely loved it. It's close to the beach and all the shops. We found that we went to the public beach area due to all the people directly across from the condo, it was less crowded. Our favorite place to eat was Hazel's. It has a buffet and has great choices from fried chicken to catfish and shrimp. You could actually eat healthy if you wanted too. Get to any of the eating places early if you can, not as long of a wait. We loved it so much in Gulf Shores and the whole area, that we are looking into retiring there. The people are so friendly and they treat you like they have known you for ever!! Love...love...love it there!! Thanks again Janet for a great place to come to!

We stayed at The Little Place in the Sun from June 16-25 and enjoyed every minute of it. It was the perfect home away from home. The view was awesome! We hated leaving, but we will for sure be back to visit The Little Place in the Sun very soon!

We just returned from Little Place in the Sun. We were there June 4-9th. It was a perfect trip. This condo has everything you could possible need. It was so nice being close to the beach. We could walk over for snacks and drinks, and since I have children it was nice for bathroom breaks. My family of 4 has stayed here twice now and would not choose any other place to stay when we are in Gulf Shores. The water was great, the beaches were sugary white sands, completely perfect. The shells we found on this trip were so large we could not believe it. Many great places to eat in the area, but Sea n Suds is our favorite and we ate there almost every night. This condo is perfect for familys, nice deck with a view, complete kitchen, everything you would need to feel like home. We love Little Place in the Sun!!!!

WONDERFUL!!!!

The pictures do not do this place justice. As soon as we walked through the door we felt right at home. The condo has a wonderful beach home atmosphere, and it has everything you could possibly need. The wrap around deck is just icing on the cake. It is located very close to everything, but far away enough to enjoy more peace and quiet. Janet is wonderful to rent from, not only does she explain everythihng thoroughly, she also leaves you tips on all the local hot spots. I recommend this condo and I definitely plan on renting this place again on my next trip to Gulf Shores, AL!!!

Recently my daughter, her family & I spent almost a week at "Little Place in the Sun". It really is a joy to stay at this condo! It is tastefully decorated & very relaxing the minute you walk through the door! We had all we needed there to meet our needs plus a short walk to the beach, great places to eat & some fun entertainment of an evening if we wanted to go out. The "kids" tried out the go-cart tracks & had a blast!! The beach was clean & we took full advantage of that...laying in the sun or taking a walk. Just what we all needed!! Thanks Janet!

We spent a 3 day weekend here in late August, 2010. Was all it was advertised to be. Had a great weekend, plenty of privacy at this time of year - colleges back in session, snow birds hadn't started to arrive yet.

Great Winter

This was our first full winter away from home, but definately not our last. We were so fortunate to find this lovely "Little Place in the Sun". Everything in the listing was accurate and then some. It was very cozy and we felt right at home. Didn't have to bring anything but our clothes. All the stores and shops are close by. The restaurants are all so good, and the fresh fish shops are wonderful. If you like fishing, this is the place to go. You can fish on the lagoon or on the beach. Charter fishing is also great and very affordable. The owner is so sweet and accomadating, she tries to please you in any way she can. I could go on and on, but I'd like to keep this place a secret as it is a rare find.

Owner response:Thank you so much for spending the winter!!!
