We had an amazing time at this property! It’s in the back so it’s a little secluded, house was clean & very well taken care. Pool was in walking distance from the house. Kitchen was completely stocked. Lisa was great with communication! We will definitely be returning & letting friends & family know about this place.

Very cute little cottage tucked away (It was hard to find at first but we loved it) just minutes from the beach and Fort Morgan. We had a great time enjoying it and the host was great at communicating to us about what we may need and the processes. Overall 10/10.
