Loved the pool. Great option to the beach that could be crowded at times. The house was very pet friendly and loved that we could take our pet with us to Tacky Jacks right down the road. Beach supplies at rental were a huge plus as well.
The umbrella was perfect for Trixi.

Wonderful Stay!

Loved this beach house! It had nice views. We enjoyed the decks and the pool. As a con, you do have to go on the main road for a little to get to the beach as other reviewers mention.

Had a great stay!!

This was a cute beach house that was very clean. Holly was wonderful. We had a few issues when we arrived and she was very responsive! We brought our Boston terrier and the yard was great for her just watch out for the spurs that get in their paws! We were 4 adults and two kids. The kitchen had everything you needed for cooking as far as pans but bring extra paper towels, toilet paper, salt and pepper! The pool was very nice but would definitely recommend heating in the fall. The pool room was well stocked with several different floats. The golf cart is a must! If you are on the fence on that, just go for it, you will not regret it! It’s not a terrible walk to the beach but with stuff and kids it will be less stressful!! Tacky Jacks is extremely close and a fun place to eat, we enjoyed it! Also, I recommend doing a ferry ride to Dauphin Island and eating at Pirates Cove. The aquarium there is fun too! The ferry is a neat experience!

Fantastic Host

Overall, our stay was good. However, the pictures were somewhat misleading. It appears there is a direct path to the beach from the back of the house, but this isn't the case. You actually have to walk along the side of a busy road to the next street to reach the beach. With a one-year-old baby in tow, this information would have been very helpful beforehand. Renting the golf cart was a good decision, but it was still nerve-wracking with cars speeding by at 50+ mph. There were also a few minor issues likely overlooked by the housekeepers: no extra trash bags, no dishwashing detergent, and not enough toilet paper to last a full day. On a positive note, the host was fantastic. Communication was excellent, and she was always responsive and helpful. She was also more than happy to let us check in early when we informed her we arrived sooner than planned. Despite these minor inconveniences, it was a good stay, and we would stay again.

Thank you for the feedback Tara! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and will make sure photos are updated even more! The path on the street is the fastest route to the beach and we do recommend a golf cart helping that commute be a breeze. Though not necessary. We hope to have you again in the future!

Peaceful Get-a-way

This home was just as described in the listing. The home was very clean. We enjoyed the location. Easy walk to beach. I would recommend the golf cart though. The drive way is on the main road and although safe to walk, the golf cart would have been a nice option. It was off season, so we drove our car over to the beach. Views to the beach and bay are obstructed but you can see the water on both sides. The pool was very clean and a peaceful place to hang out. It was too cold while we were there to enjoy swimming. As with any beach property, you have to watch your pets paws for those spurs. However this property had a nice yard that we could walk our dogs and didn’t have any issues. It’s just something to always be aware of when at the beach. The neighbors were spaced far enough apart that it felt much more private than other homes. Having a decent size yard for the dogs as well as being far enough back off the street also made this property a favorite. Ps. I was so skeptical when I saw this home had all 5 stars when I booked, but was pleased that it was accurate.

Thank you so much MaLinda!! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! We hope to have you back again! I agree with you completely, a golf cart helps make that commute to the beach a breeze and those sand spurs in beachy areas can be brutal! I’m glad you and your fur baby were able to enjoy the yard!

Wonderful Getaway

The house was absolutely adorable, your typical beach house. Kitchen fully stocked with everything you need. We loved the bed linens!! Thank you for a fabulous home-away-from-home. I loved the solitude of coming in January and having the beach to ourselves. We definitely want to plan a return trip. My grandkids visited and loved there was a sandy area with shells under the house to play in. Thanks again for a great vacation.

Family of 3 (including teenage daughter) really enjoyed our stay at this property. The walking trail behind the house had a lot of thorns that are quite painful to step on. We walked along the road to get to the beach without any problems. The bedrooms at the house were a good size and the beds/pillows were very comfortable.

Beautiful views, quiet area

Overall we had an amazing experience. It was beautiful and peaceful. The shed had many beach and pool items (boogie boards, floats, sand toys etc). The house was beautiful and had everything you need. There's an outside shower, which is extremely convenient. Beware of the path that is worn down behind the house that takes you straight to the beach. The owner of the house behind this one will lecture you about cost of sand replacement, and nature. We started driving over to the beach and parking at a house my sister had rented that was closer to the beach.

Very relaxing!!

This home is exactly as described. You can see some views of both the gulf and the bay from the balconies. We did rent a golf cart to transport gear and children to the beach but it was close enough to the beach to just walk for a quick visit or walk with our dog. The pool was amazing and made our trip so relaxing. The house is very comfortable and does not have other houses right next door. We greatly enjoyed our stay here!

About the host

Hosted by Holly Millman and Bonnie Murphy

Host profile image
2 couples have come together to form MNM Properties LLC. Pat and Bonnie Murphy who already own and rent two homes in the Surf Side Shores Subdivision since 2004 decided in 2017 it was time to invest in another piece of property but wanted to find investors that would love the area just as they do. They pitched this idea to Ben and Holly Millman and together they bought the "Fish Camp" in March 2018.

Why they chose this property

We all love of the sun, sand, and surf they have remodeled the camp into a unique beach cottage escape. They have tried to think of everything so you don't have to bring anything but your suites and towels while on vacation at Making New Memories

What makes this property unique

The home is cared for by local individuals in the area. There is a local Property Manager and Maintenance Manager that oversee the property for MNM. This group is here to make sure you have a wonderful experience while at Making New Memories and we are hoping you will do just that - make memories that will last a life time and will continually call you back to our little piece of heaven on earth
