Great place for my husband and I. We took our 2 dogs. Hard to find a place that allows pets. Several other guest brought their digs also. The weather didn’t cooperate so we couldn’t enjoy the pool but it looked really nice.

We enjoyed our stay in this cozy beach cottage. It was very clean! The beds are firm, but we slept well. Parking is under the unit, very easy to access. It is nice proximity to the beach, just a short walk. We brought our dog with us. We found a dog park located at the Gulf State Park about 10 minutes from the cottage. Our dog loved the dog park! There is an Walmart about 5 minutes away. If you like ice cream, visit Sweet Cone Alabama for incredible ice cream! Overall an enjoyable stay!

Comfy beds and linens, some of the best we’ve experienced on vaca! The condo is smaller- 850 sq ft-ish. Pics make it look much bigger. You need to cross a 2 lane hwy to get to beach. There is beach service for chairs and umbrellas at about 250/week. The bar around the corner plays music on Saturday nights until after midnight. It is pet-friendly, but the pet area needs to be mowed. It is non-smoking, but one of the units has a smoking home owner who sits out and smokes a lot. The beach also had smokers on it. Coffee pot was broken and a replacement was brought over 2-3 days later. Ice cream and convenient store walking distance and on same side of hwy. Unit seemed newly remodeled with nice upgrades. TV had all streaming services set up so you could log onto your account. Our family of 3 plus dog enjoyed our time at the unit, beach, and pool. We really enjoyed the sandbar and collecting shells on the beach. Favorite restaurant was The Catch. Hosts were very accessible and responsive. Parking was as described under unit.

So glad you enjoyed the unit. I apologize for the grass being mowed, our maintenance guy was still on hurricane clean up duty. Hope you come and stay again with us.
