We’re in love with this “home away from home” and have stayed at least 5 times. It’s the perfect size for our group of 5 adults. Large primary bedroom with very nice bathroom. Rooms are spacious and well appointed. Kitchen has all new appliances and has every utensil you would need.

Beautiful view, very clean and Jackie quickly responded to all my questions. The road was a little rough to drive on but if you don’t leave often that wouldn’t be much of an issue. I had two boys that don’t like to sit still very long. Very relaxing, excellent beach house!

We had an amazing stay at Hibearnation. It was very clean and well equipped. One of the few properties we’ve stayed at where it felt like someone opened their own home to you rather than just a house solely used for rentals. Panoramic ocean views and easy access to the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

Everything worked out smoothly with the renting and check in process. The kitchen was well stocked, even with a teapot and blender, which we actually brought our own thinking they wouldn’t be available. The decor was beautiful and interesting and there were plenty of towels and extra blankets for everyone. We absolutely LOVED being able to walk out the door and straight onto the private walk through the dunes to the beach. The beach was not crowded at all. The closest people laying out while we were on the beach were at least 50 ft away. I’d definitely recommend this rental to anyone wanting a beautiful, clean, well-stocked house directly on the beach!

The house was very clean upon arrival. We had several inquiries for the host they always answered promptly.The ocean front beach view was awesome. It was a easy short walk out the door to reach the beach. It was a perfect place to getaway fro. the hussle of normal life and a very short drive if you wanted to hit the city scene for a little excitement one night. It was awesome. The upper deck was perfect for private sunning or just watching beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We will definitely be back.

Great stay. Second time staying at this property. Glad to see some things had been repaired since last visit. Only thing we found that it needed was more kitchen towels.

Awesome Vacation

We loved our stay at Hibernation. The house was awesome; complete with every amenity needed. The upper deck provided an amazing view plus a great place maximize the sun. The house location is very peaceful and only a short drive to the Gulf Shores shopping and dining area. We had an amazing vacation.
