Not so peaceful retreat!

Pictures show a relaxing little cottage but little did we know they were building 2 houses right next door. Workers were there from early morning to late night, hammering, drilling and making a lot of noise. The peaceful retreat was far from it! The house being built next door is approximately 10-15 feet away, so very close. The cleanliness of the house was questionable also. Seems there were several spills and stains throughout the house. Kitchen counters had a spill of white goo??? No I would not recommend this house unless you had very low expectations!

Lovely quiet and chill place in the bay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was great. You can tell it has been redone somewhat recently. Has a lovely deck and dock on the water from coffee in the morning and wine as the sunsets.

Construction noise was unexpected.

The house was great and the process was easy but we had no idea that construction was occurring right next door. Starting bright and early every day there was construction noise all day long. It made time on the porch not enjoyable. It was not a relaxing get-away as we had hoped. I just wish it had been disclosed so I could have made an informed decision.

A Great Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at the Reel House was great. The house is in a pretty good location to where you can walk to the beach or drive to some public access points. The provided kayaks were also nice. With them you could launch out and kayak over to St. Andrew’s Bay to fish or explore.

Relaxing quiet cove with a view

We enjoyed relaxing on the deck and watching the sunsets. The little private beach was a nice added attraction. Great place to get away from it all.

Gem on the Bay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Reel House was a gem! I’ve stayed various places on the gulf and this is top of the list. So clean, so nicely furnished, an ideal property on the water. The neighborhood was very quiet and the beach only two blocks away. However, we liked staying at the property with the small beach in front of the house. The dogs loved swimming, we relaxed by the water and enjoyed the view. Sunset Properties thought of everything for water recreation including kayaks, paddle boards, boogie boards, fishing poles and traps. You can’t go wrong with this cottage!!

The place was immaculate and had everything we needed. It was within walking distance of an awesome beach and close to Fort Morgan and the ferry. We enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores and the traffic and congestion. It was just what we were looking for.

BEAUTIFUL....SUNSET PROPERTIES WAS AWESOME!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I am very satisfied with my stay. It is a pet friendly property and I am very thankful!!! I think in the future....the grass and sand burs need to be address because with pets and even people that is an issue. Also, the TV was awesome but football season is upon us and there needs to be a notation that the service is APP BASED so you can be prepared to have passwords and info on hand. Otherwise a beautiful property and location to TACKY JACKS and beach is very close. Sunset properties are great to deal with and very accommodating....will definitely use them again for my next getaway!!!!
