We greatly enjoyed our stay here! The view from the back deck is awesome! The house is in a very nice, friendly neighborhood and very close to Alexander City which has every store and fast food restaurant you could want. It is directly across the river from the North Marina and the best public boat ramp to use is the Alexander City Boat Ramp and it is only a 10 min drive away (just north of the marina and railroad bridge). The house is very nice and updated and very roomy, all of the rooms are big (not a cramped little cabin). The lot is large and has big area to park cars, trucks, boats and trailers. Here are some things to be aware of: this house is less stocked than all the other houses we have stayed at. Bring your own shampoo, laundry detergent, ziploc baggies, aluminum foil, ice, ect or make a trip to Dollar Tree or Walmart when you get there. Also, the hill down to the dock is steep and the ground is very uneven and no stairs (which is a very needed addition). The dock also does not have power, so bring a 100ft extension cord for your boat. Overall this is a great rental and Heath was very responsive and gracious when we had to make a slight change to our reservation. We definitely hope to stay here again!
