Had Fun
Very restful, quiet area but close enough to go to Gulf Shores, etc. We loved the back porch and long pier. It was big enough for two people, the kitchen and bath rooms were very nice and supplied well. We will request it again

Enjoyable Stay
Pros: Size nice for two, semi-private location, fishing from dock, all kitchen appliances, outside grill, easy to find. Cons: Bedding cleanliness (lack of), uneven floor can pinch toes if not careful (yes, we read the reviews and understand why the floors are uneven and knew that before we rented, but a warning to future renters (watch your toes)), sand beach & bulkhead needs TLC, no lighting on dock, no way to get on dock if you fall off (no ladder/steps), sliding glass back door very difficult to open/close. Overall it was a nice stay and we enjoyed. Just a few things (mentioned above) that really need some attention. Would probably take a good weekend or two of fixing/adjusting things, cleaning up the outside, etc. That would make for a world of difference. And I would definitely discuss bedding with the housekeeper, it needs to be much cleaner. Also, low tide it is almost impossible to climb back on the dock without assistance if someone falls over. Can't really swim ashore on the property because of the bulkhead covered with barnacles... safety hazard. Need to swim two lots down to area with no bulkhead. Overall outside/beach cleanup would make a big difference and would be much more inviting.

Great Little Cottage
Place was just as described. Loved fishing from the dock, and we even caught a few fish. Clean and comfortable. Loved the old wood floors. Reminded me of my great grandma and grandpa’s floor. Brought back some great memories. Just peaceful and relaxing.
