Amazing place to stay

We loved every minute of being there, they have almost everything you need already there. The veiws were amazing and seeing the dolphins right from the back deck was spectacular. Very quiet and relaxing. Would definitely go back again and would highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet place close to orange beach and golf shores, with something to do for the whole family.

Cozy, semi-secluded house on a beach where time stands still. We never enjoyed being lazy so much as we have in this beach house. This was our 2nd stay at this house. It is wonderful.

Perfect and peaceful

My husband, children and I had the most relaxing Spring break here at this beautiful property with its own private beach! It was just close enough to all the activities Gulf Shores has to offer and then the most relaxing retreat after! Plenty to do, fish, catch crabs, kayak and watch the dolphins play were among our favorites!!

Great location in a classic bay home.

If you have a boat, this is a great location on the water. About a 2 minute boat ride to Pirates Cove and directly across from Bear Point Marina and Oso. Nicely stocked kitchen too. We had a great time.

Excellent Family Vacation

This property met all of our expectations! We were looking for a bay area where the kids could play in the shallow water and this was perfect! The house is charming and they had all the toys, kayaks, and things we needed for fishing. The hosts and neighbors are wonderful!!

Perfect spot to explore surrounding areas in FL and AL. Peaceful beautiful place. Enjoyed kayaking and walking through treed lane. Saw 8 deer one night and fireflies another night. Grilled a couple nights on charcoal grill. A gas grill would be a nice upgrade. Kitchen well stocked. Nothing in refrigerator and we left nothing due to check out rules . Which meant throwing away salad dressing barbecue sauce, ketchup, mustard etc. since we were flying with limited space. Screened in back porch was great hang out area especially at night once bugs started biting. Need to bring your own beach towels. We purchased a few colored towels and left them there for others. If we return to this area we definitely will stay again. Appreciated the bottle of Prosecco and Blueberry bread. Delicious and nice surprise. Leislie communicated well.

Great, quiet location on the water! We brought our pontoon and enjoyed it every day. The property is charming and has a flavor of grandparents cabin from the past :) I would add couple TVs in bedrooms, but by the end of each day we were so tired, wouldn’t watch it anyway … overall - fantastic!
