This was amazing for our family for our cheer comp mini vacation. Beach access is about a block or so away at the light to cross the street the wagon and beach accessories were great for our beach days. Kids loved the pool as well and had an amazing time. The house was clean and stocked with starts of things so definitely plan on getting extra if you have a prolonged stay. The kitchen was well stocked with needed cooking utensils. We had an amazing stay and would recommend again!!

Wonderful house for our family of four and small dog. It was one of the cleanest rentals I’ve encountered which I appreciated so very much!

Great Spot By the beach

We had a awesome experience at the Blue Bungalow. My wife and I commented this was one of the better places we've stayed on a vacation. We usually stay at nice places and this was no exception. It was great to be able to bring our dog as well. Scott, the property manager or owner was the most responsive we've come across. We like to walk to restaurants/bars and there were plenty close by. We did get in the car when visiting Orange Beach restaurants. Close to golf courses as well. Beach right across the street. All in all we were very pleased with this rental.
