clean getaway

Our group enjoyed the quick weekend getaway here! The pictures made it look like there was a lot more area to fish from land, but besides that no complaints! The house was clean and stocked well. I appreciated the pamphlets with things to do and where to eat especially with a toddler around.

Wonderful Stay

My mom wanted to go to Bellingrath Gardens for a joint family birthday trip, and we found this cute home that was able to accommodate all of us. Overall the experience was very good, house was clean, instructions were clear, and we loved how it felt like our own little oasis. It was so good we are considering going back again next year!

Family Vacation

This was the perfect house and location for our first family vacation. Traveling with kids are never easy, let alone finding things to keep everyone happy. This house gave them the opportunity to play in the yard, fish, sit by the fire, or just hang out inside. We spent most of our day at the beaches on Dauphin Island, which is only a 20 min drive. The property is just beautiful!

Awesome Place!

This place is very relaxing and excellent if you plan on fishing or boating. You can keep your boat in the water and have direct access to the Mississippi Sound and Gulf of Mexico. The house is beautifully decorated and has all you need. The hosts are very nice people as well! I would definitely stay here again.

House was stocked with everything we needed for our stay. It was super clean and spacious for family of five. Boat launch across bayou was easily accessible, with a very scenic boat ride to the gulf spanning about 15 minutes. we actually caught speckled trout right off the dock the day we arrived before some rain set in on day 2. Grocery store and restaurant a minute or two away, bugs were no issue this time of year. Rain was no issue with the area under the house with picnic table and chairs, we were able to boil shrimp with the gear provided as well. We will definitely re visit!

Amazing

Perfect location for fishing. The boat landing is across the creek and we were able to use it at high tide. The house is on several acre wooded lot. Very quiet and secluded. We enjoyed our wedding anniversary here.

Bayou and Belingrath

This precious place was the perfect setting for our gathering of four forever friends. It had all the necessities and comforts of home. We loved the decor -with nautical, fishing, and wildlife theming. We enjoyed the bayou view (pelicans and herons included), the large raised deck and hammocks. The location was great for our visits Dauphin Island and Belingrath Gardens.

Beautifully decorated

Pros: Interior decorating is gorgeous. Layout of interior is great and place is well-stocked. There are many outdoor places to sit - covered deck, deck, fire pit, and hammocks. Cons: Small tv in LR, none in bedrooms. Uncomfortably firm beds (some ppl may like that), very small master shower, low water pressure. Seafood suggestion: Bayou Seafood Company - fried shrimp is best I have ever eaten.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Jul, 2023
Barbara, Thanks for your feedback on your stay. We appreciate your kind comments about the decor, we think it's gorgeous as well. It's nice that you liked the layout, and it was well-stocked. Also mentioning having plenty of places to sit outdoors, we're sorry we were not able to get that 5-stars. - We do only have one TV in the living room and none in the bedrooms. We think the size fits the room and as for the bedrooms, we have not had any complaints. - While we try to accommodate all guests' comfort, we're sorry the mattress didn't meet your preferences. We think they are great! - We have not noticed any issues with the water pressure, thank you for bringing it to our attention. We truly go above and beyond for our guests, and are confident that future guests will have excellent stays! We will continue to deliver the 5-star experiences we are known for.

The peacefully side

The property was beautiful. The house was decorated perfect and was supplied with anything you would want. Plenty of space inside and out for that family get together. If you want peace and quiet with birds singing during the day and a Whippoorwill at night, this is the place. All mom and pop restaurants with the best seafood and you have to love that small town feel. Even if you like the hustle and bustle of the city, stay here and drive. It will be good for your soul.

Clean and comfy

Great house! This is our third year to rent this house and we will keep coming each year. We have a mission trip to Bayou La Batre’ that comes and our youth stay at the Hemley Rd church of Christ. They have a food and clothing distribution each week for the community. Such a wonderful program for those in need. This house is minutes from the church, a grocery store and ice cream shop! The porch overlooks the Snake Bayou with a peaceful view of it and the surrounding pine trees. The kitchen is easy to maneuver and properly stoked. Dauphin Island, a popular beach destination is less than an easy 30 minute drive. We will be back next year!

8/10 Good

Peaceful

This bungalow is very clean and well stocked with all you need for a fish fry, crab boil, and anything you need inside the kitchen. Everything!Mudbugs Fish Camp is the name of the joint, however, you need a boat to fish in this area. Hightide is in the mornings when you sleep in or out with your family at the beach, exploring nearby Dauphin Island. Evening and Night fishing from the dock is sparse. When the tide goes out, the water is so low and still it is impossible to enjoy casting a line. That being said, the boat slip is right across the water from the house and only one driveway down. The area is quiet for the most part. The neighbors kept to themselves. The gentlemen with the Shrimping Boat that is dock across the way was friendly. We enjoyed her our stay and had a great vacation.
