My husband and our two children, now 10 & 11yrs old, have been staying in The Rookery for many yrs. Since our children were wearing blow up arm bands in the pool. We love the neighborhood. Private pool for Rookery guests that's a comfortable size. Close to the beach, the Fort, Gulf Shores and good food, but if you're like us and the busy scene isn't for you try this out. This unit is beautifully decorated with comfortable furnishings. Everything you need in the kitchen to cook, if you choose, with nice appliances. They even have a roku, I got to watch my shows! The management company is quick to respond if you have any issues. Plenty of hot water for showers and the air conditioning works great. I love getting up in the morning, while we have it still cold in the house, and sitting outside with my coffee to warm up. Of course having a screened porch makes all the difference with that experience. I had coffee one morning with a baby gator close by, The Rookery is in a nature reserve, so there is plenty of wildlife around. You'll definitely want to come back, we do!
