Unsurpassed vacation! We had the most enjoyable time at the beach in years. For me the fishing was great! BIG Spanish mackerel, redfish, black drum, flounder, pompano right from the sand bar in front of the house! Saw a lot of tarpon moving east but they stayed 400-500 yds off shore. Wife had a great time as well just listening to the ocean and watching the dolphins. We will definitely be back for another fall trip!

By far, my favorite beach stay. Ever. I’m always looking for a calm, quiet place and this was perfect. Private. Not crowded at all. And, we were able to bring our fur family members with us. The property manager was very helpful and responsive to any questions. We did not want to leave.

I loved all the deck furniture. I was able to sit out in the morning and drink my coffee and enjoy the view. We also enjoyed taking the dogs for early morning walks on the beach. We really enjoyed being so close to the beach.

This property was right on the beach and had a lovely deck to sit on and enjoy the view. We all enjoyed the beach and frolicking around with our puppy friends. The property included all of the things that we needed. The beds were comfortable, the AC worked great, the water was hot, and the space was clean and tidy. I advise anyone staying in the space to bring beach towels, soap, shampoo. However, a 20 minute ride to Gulf Shores allows you to get the things that you may have forgotten. The host was accommodating and the property manager even came to check on us to make sure all was well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beach house. The bed pillows could use an update and a few more towels would have been nice. These are the only suggestions I will make.

ON THE BEACH was an understatement. We walked down the steps and our bare feet were tickled by the sand. After the sun went down, we relaxed on the deck watching the waves caress the sand dunes. The breeze from the surf put us to sleep nightly. We have many stories and are looking at our next trip.

We stayed with our kids and one dog. The house is nice and is described in the ad and at a great price! The property manager was very friendly and available. We loved the location and the closeness to the water as we didn't have to lug all the kids thing and chairs very far. We would definitely come back.

Great time, on the beach , beautiful views! Everything we needed. The deck and outside furniture is one of the best rooms of the house! Greg, the property manager, as always, was very welcoming and available for any problems - which we had none! It is a duplex , and each time we have stayed, we have had great neighbors. We will be back!!

This was our 2nd time staying here. It's so relaxing to walk down the stairs and be on the beach. No lugging a cart down the road. It's far enough from the neighborhood access that you don't have many close neighbors. Plenty of room.

What a view! Step from the deck right onto sand! Very clean! New or practically new appliances, countertops, bathrooms etc. throughout. Nice clean section of beach. Practically deserted when we were there in late April. If you want to get away from the crowds in the Orange Beach area this is the place.
Thanks so much for staying with us Steve. It's great to hear your vacation was relaxing! It was our pleasure hosting you and we hope to welcome you back for a future stay.
