About this property

Waterfront Bay property with private beach and pier!

Home away from Home! Not just another rental! This wonderful family friendly property is perfect for larger groups. The bay is sandy bottomed, fairly shallow, and perfect for swimming, fishing, crabbing and kayaking. 3 kayaks plus life vests are included in rental. Just bring your fishing pole! Sleeps 14 with 4 bedrooms plus a loft. Large back deck plus 250 foot pier and huge 16x 30 covered dock. Lots of sand toys and games included. If you want to enjoy the beach without the crowds, this is the place for you. We’ve provided most things you’ll need for a wonderful vacation, just pack your clothes and food! Upon arrival you’ll notice the coffee station with keurig and regular coffee pot plus coffee, and sweetners provided. The kitchen is equipped with almost anything you need including spices, garbage bags, paper products and dish washing soap. There is a crockpot and large boiling pots, plus a blender. The laundry room is supplied with laundry detergent. The bathrooms have toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. The gulf beach is just 1.5 miles away, so you have that option too. There are 2 king sized beds, 2 queen beds, 2 full beds and 4 twin beds. There are 2 charcoal grills on the property, plus a fire pit for roasting hot dogs, or marshmallows or just sitting around the fire on a cool evening. We want you to enjoy your stay, but please treat our home with respect. Do not throw trash in our yard or beach, and certainly don’t leave trash in the house. We know you are on vacation, but don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink or dishwasher and leave the house tidy. It is a large home so the cleaning fee is reasonable and the cleaning service expects it to be tidy when they arrive😎. Most of our guests have done a beautiful job, but we recently had one that was a disaster, so please don’t book if you can’t abide by the rules.

Relaxing

The house was very roomy, inviting and plenty of places to relax and be quiet. We were a party of 11. The bay was peaceful and we spent alot of time down at the dock talking and fishing. Sunsets were awesome, Plenty of seating on the dock and the deck. The owner was very attentive and made sure we had all we needed, There were plenty of things for our entertainment provided. Beds were comfortable and the house was clean. The house is close to grocery, beach and restaurants. Would recommend to friends and family.

Beautiful place for our family vacation

Our family vacation was perfect at this rental. While we experienced bad weather and rip tides that prevented a lot of beach time, we were able to enjoy the dock for fishing, the sand for the kids when it wasn’t raining, and the arcade games indoors. The house was well stocked. The owner was attentive to any issues we experienced.

House on Bay

Fantastic week. Plenty of room for our 3 familys (6 adults and 6 kids). Loved being on the bay where it was about 3-4’ deep. Perfect for the kids. Had fun with the paddle board, kayak, and beach toys. Had to drive to the ocean side for the beach, but not a problem- took 10-20 minutes depending on which beach you went to. Area is more secluded and a lot less busy than in the town of Gulf Shores or Orange Beach. Wish we could go every year.

Family fun under the sun!

I don’t know where to begin! The Sunrise or Sunset…the comfy beds…the kids loft…the back deck…the pier…the dolphins…the view…the spacious home. This place is great!! It has everything you need. Lighten the load and pack less. It has kayaks, jon boat, body board, life jackets, sand toys, and chairs. We went to the beach one day and realized the house was better than the beach. And it even has its own sandy beach. I almost want to give it a bad review so no one else finds this gem! Just kidding, it is too great to ever give it anything less than 5stars! This was truly Family fun under the sun!

A fantastic home with room for the whole group!

This was one of the best properties we have stayed in around the country!! The layout and amenities were above and beyond what anyone would expect. As a chef, I rarely find a property equipped with decent knives and the equipment and tools I need, but Neptune's Nest had everything! The kids absolutely loved the kayaks and fishing pier and spent almost all their time outside instead of on devices, which is nearly impossible with 5 kids aged 9-11! When they were inside, they were playing on the Arcade game that had a multitude of options! My mom even said we may look to stay here again next year for her 75th birthday because it is such a wonderful home! The location is pretty great for accessing a pretty deserted stretch of beach right on the gulf (only about a 5 minute drive), but the only negative is the distance to any decent restaurants. Thank you so much for thinking of every possible thing a family would need for an exceptional vacation!

Second timer 💕

This was the second year in a row staying here. My teens requested to go here again. I brought 8 teens and they all loved it! The house it so spacious, and the dock and kayaks were everyone’s favorites. For some I can see how the price might be a little high, but we cook and stay at the house for 99% of the time. It is expensive to rent and do activities. Here it’s all included. And I love sitting on the swing in the morning and drinking coffee. It’s the most peaceful thing ever. If your thinking about renting, I promise you will not be disappointed. The owner checks to make sure all is ok, and the extras in the house are so nice. Like , Extra toilet paper, paper towels, and even washing pods. This will not be our last time staying here.

Spectacular sunsets!!!

My family rented this property for my parents 29th anniversary. We’re local, and wanted just a nice little staycation to relax. The house was wonderfully laid out, with room for everyone to sleep comfortably and not be on top of each other. They have done a great job making the house feel like home, and have everything you could ever think you needed! (Tons of board games, TVs in every bedroom, anything you need to make a meal in the kitchen.) The water was a little choppy during our stay, but it did calm down enough for us to use the kayaks, which was nice. The kids loved the sandy beach area, and the adults spent most of our time on the dock fishing and watching some of the most INCREDIBLE sunsets I’ve ever seen!!!! Linda was an amazing host, so sweet and very quick to respond to anything I asked about. I would definitely recommend this beautiful bay house!! Also, there is public beach access nearby, and the historical Fort Morgan just a few minutes away. We had a wonderful time relaxing and just enjoying family time. We will definitely be back!

The pictures do not do this house justice! It is so beautifully decorated. It is right down the Rd from fort Morgan, and about 20 mins from everything in town. The bay was warm and shallow, perfect for my 9 year old mermaid to spend her days in the water. We saw dolphins and did a lot of fishing. Unfortunately the whole week we were there the beach had the purple flag(dangerous Marine animals) so every time we went to the beach we got stung by jelly fish but we could swim in the bay all day and not get stung at all. The only issue we had was one of the air conditioner units for the loft wouldn't come on. But Linda sent out a repair man the next morning and had everything working perfectly for our week long stay. Our group of 11 had plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. We really enjoyed our week and are already talking about trying to plan another trip. I definitely recommend this house for any large group that wants to be on the water but away from the waves and hustle and hustle of the city!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Gaspard

Host profile image
I am a realtor in. Louisiana. We purchased this property because we have a large family, with 25 grandchildren. They love to swim and fish and kayak in the bay. This is a unique property, with 100 year old live oaks, plus the sand and water. The house has a huge open living area to accommodate our family. We have really enjoyed it, and just decided to start sharing it with others, the sunset and sunrise from the pier is incredible, and if you’re lucky, you may see dolphin.

Why they chose this property

It sits on over and acre of land with beautiful live oaks and a small orchard in front with lemon, satsuma and kumquat trees. It’s very quiet and peaceful, plus has the sand and water. It’s only a few miles from the gulf beach. The bay is 6 miles across so the water view is spectacular. The bay is sandy bottomed and shallow so the kids love to play and swim in it.

What makes this property unique

Quiet, secluded .. you’re at the beach, without all the noise and crowds.
