About this property

Family & Pet Friendly 2500 sq ft home-Minutes from town on Wilson Lake, Alabama!

Shoal Creek Gibbons Home - Wilson Lake Florence Alabama

2025 Update: The property is now equipped with a fenced-in area for the fur babes to run free!

The Kayaks have arrived!! Four of them, actually...w/ life vests and paddles too. They are now available to all guests (with adult supervision). :)

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS:
The house will comfortably sleep 8 adults in a King bedroom, two Queen bedrooms, and one queen sleeper sofa. The other options (three double high queen air mattresses) are probably more feasible for kids/teens. If additional adult sleeping accommodations are needed, please be sure to ask about the availability of the 2 BR/2 BA guest house that is located on the property at a lower rate.

Perfectly located on Shoal Creek at the mouth of Wilson Lake, you will find no other like this. With 250' of waist deep water along the seawall that gradually deepens for swimming and fishing, and a large leveled ground with no slopes or steep steps to the water, people of all ages can enjoy themselves wading in the lake while enjoying the company of others on the bank.

We are confident that you will enjoy your time at our totally renovated and updated Shoal Creek Gibbons Home. We are located minutes from town, however you will feel as though you are in your own little world.

If you do decide to venture out on the town for a bit or to tour the beautiful places that Florence and the Shoals area has to offer, you will be pleasantly surprised to find everything and every place within minutes of the house.

We have tried our best to make our home as comfortable and homey for others as we prefer for ourselves. Most any amenity that you may need or want is available.

Having two kitchens, plenty of seating, and an open gathering area, our home is not only great for family outings, fishermen getaways, and vacations but also perfect for wedding receptions, family reunions, baby showers, business meetings, small wedding ceremonies, youth group outings, bridal showers, etc. We will also consider monthly corporate/business stays. Nightly rates/cleaning fees may be increased with larger groups.

Private pier with boat lift.

New state owned/public boat ramp is now open - directly to your right (off the highway) as you enter the street our home is located.

The Shoals is also the location documented in the 'Muscle Shoals' movie!

TWO NIGHT MINIMUM! Three to five night minimum on certain holidays!!

NOTE: Ring cameras are located at all entrances of the home. They are used/viewed only when the house is vacant, for security purposes only.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

7 men fishing the BFL regional on Pickwick Lake

The place was more then what we were exspecting. The location was great, resturants were close by. Everyone talked about returning next summer with their families. The owners went above and beyond to make the stay there great. Will be using this place if we ever come back to Pickwick or Wilson Lakes.

We are so glad to hear that you all enjoyed your time at the house while in Florence for the tournament! You and your fishing buddies, along with your families, will be welcomed back anytime.

Amazing House and Hospitality

This house was so beautiful! We rented it for my sons groomsmen and their wives and babies! We also rented the guest house for my son and his new bride for their wedding night. The owners were so amazing to deal with and so accommodating. We will definitely be renting again so we can just rest and enjoy the beautiful house and view!

Great getaway

We really enjoyed our weekend trip to this rental. We reserved the main house and the guest house. We had plenty of space for everyone. It was wonderful to see the water views from all the main areas of the house. There were plenty of amenities. We loved using the kayaks and fishing from the deck. Highly recommend!!

Gorgeous Home!

Home is gorgeous, clean and well maintained - had everything you would need for your stay and then some. Angela was very helpful and could not have been nicer. Loved watching the turtles across the inlet, the ducks, the fish and the boats going by. Its a very quiet and peaceful setting. We will definitely be back.
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 18, 2020
Thank you SO much for the thoughtful review! We take much pride in our home and do everything possible to keep it clean, stocked, and enjoyable for our guests. We agree that it most definitely is a quiet and peaceful place - so much so that you tend to forget that you are only a couple minutes from grocery stores, shops, and restaurants! We'd be tickled to have you again!

Enjoyable Time

Our family was so blessed to stay in this Lakehouse. We enjoyed the layout of the home and especially the open dining area and living room. This home has history, and it was so amazing to read the history about this home. WHAT A HERITARY!!! Our family celebrated Christmas and it felt like home. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to stay in this Lakehouse.

Awesome Experience!!

I would recommend this HOME to anyone! We had a great time and Bobby and Angela were awesome, and made us feel at home!! They supplied everything you could possibly need. Just bring your clothes and food and you are set!!! They knew we were in town for a high school fishing tournament and left the boys a treat, and they were so excited!!! Even this group of high school boys talked about how nice it was:) We will definately be going back to visit!!!
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 18, 2020
We were thrilled to have the boys for their first tournament on Pickwick/Wilson and glad to hear that it was a success...especially with the small mouth bass that aren't prevalent in your area! We couldn't have asked for a better group of guys and look forward to having them again!

Wonderful Time!

We had a wonderful time at the lake! We actually live in the area and were looking for a place to rent and not have to leave town. We were able to take our boat and have a blast using this lake house. You cannot beat the location! The house was in wonderful shape and had everything we needed. The owners were very welcoming and you could not ask for more helpful people. They made sure everything was to our liking. We had two couples each with a two year old child and the kids had a blast also. We hope to be able to rent this home again soon!
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 18, 2020
We are so happy to hear that you all enjoyed your stay, even though having to deal with the remnants of Hurricane Isaac while there! Hopefully, the covered patio allowed you to enjoy the lake and grill out as the rain showers came through. It excites us to know that the little ones had a fun time too! We want to thank you for being so understanding and easy to work with. That is appreciated very much! We can't wait to have you and your family again.

Highly Recommend!!

We stayed for the weekend and could not say enough good things about the owners and the house. The owners were extremely caring as we were trying to find our way by water from Iuka to the house. They stayed on the phone with us as long as we needed and even called back to make sure we arrived safely. The house is immaculate and stocked with everything you can imagine. We had 11 people staying in the house and were extremely comfortable. They think of every detail and genuinely care about their guests. I would rent for the entire summer if I could.
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 19, 2020
Lauren- Thank You! We were more than happy to help guide you in from Iuka! We will do anything possible to help our guests before and during there stay, as we appreciate you all. We were so glad to know that you made it in safely and look forward to your next 'boat trip' to the house!

Amazing!

We just spent three wonderful nights at this beautiful home. Bobby and Angela have done an amazing job decorating and supplying the home with quality amenities! We've stayed in many VRBOs and none compare to this property, the owners have thought of everything imaginable. Just pack your clothes and food and don't worry about anything else, it's already in the home!!! The booking process and communication with Angela was super easy. We hope to return very soon to this gem of a home!!! Janice and Marvin

Nothing to say but Awesome!

My oldest told me last year she wanted a lake weekend for her 21st birthday this June. Found this place and it was perfect for our friends and family. The pictures do not do this place justice! The main house was better stocked than our house is typically and so, so cozy. Perfect place for gatherings. The guest house was available separately and it was just as warm and cozy. Her birthday weekend was exactly what she envisioned. We brought our boats for all of the water fun. But hanging off the back deck, kayaking, swimming and just enjoying the fellowship and food was the best. This place is a definite gem of the Shoals area. Thanks to Angela and Bobby! Greatest hosts ever!!

Simply Amazing!

This is what a VRBO rental should be! Clean, stocked, great communication, modern, everything works as it should! I have rented several places near this one over the past several years, and NOTHING compares with this property. Boat pier was great for my 25 ft Tritoon Boat. There is electric down at the pier which was great to help keep my trolling batteries charged overnight without having to deal with100's of feet of extension cords like we did at the other places we rented in the past. Also, no large hills or stairs to climb to get to and from the boat, which was helpful to some of my guests. Angela and Bobby are amazing hosts! We will defiantly be back!

Belated Birthday Celebration

The property had everything x10 that one could ask for. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the location was terrific. We enjoyed hanging outside in the water with our 2 dogs laying underneath the covered patio that had 3 fans to keep them cool. We will definitely rent here again and knowing what we know now, not have to pack as much because like I said the house had everything. Thank you to Angela and Bobby for the hospitality.

About the host

Hosted by Bobby or Angela Hendrix

Host profile image
We are just a couple of the many family members that have enjoyed this special home on Shoal Creek. Keeping with the open house feel that we have all always known and loved, we made the decision to let others enjoy it too!

Why they chose this property

The land was first purchased by the family in 1964 and has been 'home' to many. Countless wonderful memories have been made with family and friends through the years.

What makes this property unique

The most unique benefit of our home is most definitely its close proximity to the water. The house is literally inches from the water on flat ground! Another specialty would be the near distance to all restaurants, shopping centers, and many attractions that Florence and The Shoals has to offer! And we must not forget the fish - OH, THE FISH! - Many bass, catfish and others...a/k/a: THE BIG ONE...have been reeled in at the house over the years!
