This was a getaway with my family. The house and location were perfect. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. My grandchildren (actually young adults) loved being able to fish from the backyard. The host was super friendly and solicitous. She even called to make sure we didn’t need anything else. We would definitely stay there again!

Peaceful location

The house was perfect for our stay. It has amazing views off the back porch to watch the wildlife and was spacious inside. The pool table in the game room kept our kids busy while we visited in the living room. The house was also just a quick drive from the beach…maybe 15 minutes or so.

Our stay for Gulf Shores Nationals tournament

Such a beautiful cozy home next to the river. We came here for softball and our whole experience has been wonderful!! We enjoyed every evening out on the deck and some fishing. Not far from the ball parks was a plus!! Thank you for providing a safe and clean home!

Great accommodations!

We traveled with six adults and two kids. It was enough space for everyone! The house was convenient to all of the local shopping and eateries. It was a very short commute to the beach! The owners were very accommodating! We will definitely rent the house again! Excellent View of the Bon Secour River! Bring your fishing rod!

It was the perfect spot for those with small children that like to fish. The host was very punctual with responses. Very spaces and quiet. Honestly would have been a 5 star review; however the beds were extremely uncomfortable, so if you have back or hip issues this may not be the spot for you, but overall we were very satisfied and had a great time!!!

Relaxing

Perfect place to relax after a day at the ballpark. Away from the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores beach but still close enough to spend the day. House is as described although the kitchen has been updated and is stocked with everything you will need. Enjoyed having access to the river to fish and watch the wildlife and a very quiet neighborhood. If you want to stay away from the crowds, Fort Morgan beach is where to be and we highly recommend the Tin Top for a laid back lunch or dinner on the river. If you have time, book a chapter with Off The Hook charters, Captin Cliff was awesome and made it his goal to make sure the kids had fun!

Family Beach Trip

We had a great time at this property. Plenty of room for all 9 of us! My husband and son went fishing in the river and caught a few fish. We all enjoyed playing pool and going to the beach. Mary Anne met us at the property and to let us in and answer any questions we might had. She was very sweet and accommodating, and went out of her way to help us find some things we misplaced. The house was very comfortable, GREAT price, great air conditioning ! We’ll be back!

This is an older home but very comfy. We had a lot of fun here and in this area. Electricity went out for an unknown reason, we called the manager and she reported it to the electric company and it was back on quickly. Loved our stay here.
