About Tina Scarborough

We are native Alabamians. We live in Tallassee, Alabama. Joe and I enjoy actively participating in our Church, traveling with our friends, boat rides on Mobile Bay, fishing and shrimping, riding the ferry to Dauphin Island, bike rides in the Fort Morgan and Dauphin Island area, and enjoying the prettiest beach in the world- here in Ft. Morgan!

Tina Scarborough purchased this House in 2000

Why Tina Scarborough chose Homes, Bernard Court

The Fort Morgan area reminds us of how Gulf Shores was forty (40) years ago- prior to the proliferation of condos. Ft. Morgan is a quiet, peaceful place to relax and enjoy the pristine white sandy beach, salt air, and ever-present Gulf breezes; a community of single-family homes, with great neighbors and friends.

What makes this House unique

'Wastin' Away' is a short walk to the beach- the street (Bernard Court East) actually dead ends onto the beach- there is no cutting through other property owner's yards, or walking down the beach front road east or west to access the 'public' areas. The Gulf and Bay views can be enjoyed from the front deck. Since the house is located about a 1/4 mile away from the marina, and less than a mile from the Ft. Morgan historic site with public boat launch and fishing pier, there are a lot of fishing and boating activities available- we enjoy shrimping and fishing in Mobile Bay.

Tina and Joe was very helpful the whole time we stayed. They are very nice and caring. The house was perfect with new appliances and nice deck around the house. The yard was very nicely mowed when we got there and house is well maintained and very clean. Has a nice concrete pad under the house with out side shower and water hoses and charcoal grill already in place. It is just far enough out of gulf shores for privacy but not to far if needed something from the store, me and my wife were very pleased and we will be back in the future!

Great little cottage close to the beach

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wastin' Away. Just a short walk to the beach, very pet friendly area. Wastin' Away has a wonderful open floor plan. Loved the kitchen with a long island, perfect for setting out food and putting together puzzles! Lots of windows so even when we needed to get out of the sun we could see the lovely days! Ate dinner each night out on the deck. Joe and Tina are great owners and do everything possible to make sure you enjoy your visit! Look forward to returning

Relaxing, stress free, everything we needed

Our overal experience at wastin away was wonderful. The house was in order, clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed as far as basic living needs goes. Plenty of cookware and cleaning supplies. The place was just a short walk to the beech, and far enough from town that provided us with a perfect get away from life's hustle and bustle. We got what we needed on the way in and had no reasons to leave other than 2 trips to dauphin island by ferry just for fun...and oysters:)

We loved it there and even asked Tina for an extra day. She was always just a message away and responded almost immediately.

We are already planning another trip ASAP and plan on staying with Tina's rentals as long as she has somthing available!!

Property needs some TLC. Very worn out in many regards ( kirchen sink, countertops and improper functioning bathroom toilet). Upholstered furniture very dirty. Mattress in front bedroom completely broken down where you just sink into the middle. Enough hot water when you shower if you can get done in 3 minutes. Most of no stick pans need to be thrown out. POSITIVES: Proximity to beach to enjoy the many warm beautiful days and awesome sunsets in this quiet pet friendly home and neighborhood.

Owner's Response:

Dear Barbara,

I am sorry to learn that your two week stay in “Wastin’ Away” was less that enjoyable due to the things mentioned in your recently posted review of our property on VRBO.

I wish you had mentioned any/all the deficiencies during my three calls to you during your stay to make sure everything was ok...... you ALWAYS said everything was “fine”, you were “enjoying your stay”, etc. One reason I call all our guests is to try to assure all aspects of their stay are satisfactory (except the weather!!). As absentee landlords, we rely heavily on input from guests. We will certainly follow-up on the items you mentioned, but must point out that the guest that was in this house for ten days immediately prior to your stay rated this property as “5 stars”.

Again, I apologize for your less than a totally positive experience that you had at “Wastin’ Away”.

Tina Scarborough

Delightful Two Weeks

Spending time at Wastin' Away was delightful. It was very comfortable and a two minute walk to the beach (unless you have a slow dog like mine). The beach was lovely and everyone we met was friendly. Everything we needed was provided (except food of course).

Charming Christmas getaway!

My parents, dog, and I went on a Christmas getaway to the beach and came across this house. We fell in love with it the moment we arrived. The house is very close to the beach and although it wasn’t bikini weather it was 100% better than the cold snowy northern Kentucky temperatures. The house has everything we needed and more! Tina and Joe were very helpful and nice! It was very easy to get in contact with Tina which was much appreciated for any help that was needed. This was an absolutely amazing getaway and we are so thankful for Tina and Joe for their hospitality and letting us stay in their house. We will be back soon!
