Wonderful Weekend!

Our stay at Paradise in the Shoals was wonderful from start to finish. The owners are fantastic, the home is so beautiful and comfortable with the location near plenty of restaurants & shopping. You can tell Jim & Susan take pride in hosting and welcoming others. True southern hospitality. The home is well stocked with above-average kitchen items, and linens and it really gives you the comfort of home. It was very clean as well. The pool is wonderful and so relaxing on the lake. Literally steps away from your front door. The area was clean, well manicured and so peaceful. We honestly had no issues whatsoever, and plan to be back for another girl's weekend soon!

Muscle Shoals Music Studio Tours

This property is amazing and the owners are extremely responsive and hospitable. There are great views of the beautiful river throughout the home and the floor plan couldn't be better. The pool and outside sitting area were also spectacular with an even better river view. If you're travelling to the Muscle Shoals area, I'd highly recommend this property.

Great location and amenities

We really enjoyed our stay at Jim and Susan’s house. The pool was enjoyed by all, especially our 5 year old daughter. The boat dock was perfect for fishing and feeding the ducks. We had all of the amenities in the home that we could have possibly needed. Jim and Susan were great hosts.

Relaxing girls trip

My daughter, who recently graduated college, wanted a quick get away before “real adulting” began. This property definitely fit the bill! Great location and amenities. We had never spent much time in the area but it was perfect combination of relaxing quiet time and close shopping and dining options. Hosts were awesome. 10/10 recommend and we will be back!

Wonderful option for a staycation in the Shoals

This property met all of our expectations and needs. The owners live onsite and were very helpful and friendly. The rental was beautiful and most rooms had a view of the river. Most everything we needed for a pleasant trip was provided. We only had to bring our bathing suits, beach towels and sunscreen. Close enough to town to go grab something to eat but secluded enough to sit out by the pool enjoying the sounds of nature.

Great Property and Waterfront View!

We had a wonderful time at the property! Jim was a wonderful host and responded to our requests for recommendations in the area and was extremely helpful. House had everything we needed and it was wonderful being steps from the pool and beautiful outdoor space to relax and enjoy the view. Any concerns about the hosts living on the first floor are not warranted as we had complete privacy and felt like we were the only ones on the property. Great location near boat rentals, and a short drive to downtown for eating out and access to grocery stores and shops.

Our stay was good. But instructions left inside confusing.

Very beautiful, but too much foo foo on tables and dressers full of personal items not great for kids and nowhere to put our stuff not ever luggage racks to get them off the floor. The people were very nice but we had no clear instructions on how TV 's or remotes worked. No area for smokers to use it wasn't specified.

About the host

Your host

Jim and I began building this home in 2013. We put lots of blood sweat and tears into this home. We married on the deck once finished and moved into it in 2014. We finished the downstairs and installed the Pool in 2016. We love our home and feel like we are on an endless vacation here in this piece of Paradise in the Shoals. We love meeting new people and sharing our downstairs with them. If you want privacy while renting that is exactly what you will have. We respect our renters. We are laid back and easy to adapt.
We have been extremely cautious during this Pandemic. We make sanitizing and cleanliness as our first priority. We drain hot tub after each rental and the entire downstairs is thoroughly sanitized.

Why they chose this property

This property is very peaceful and relaxing with beautiful mornings watching the birds and drinking coffee by the pool. There is beautiful sunsets and lots of boaters to watch coming in and out of the Marina and fishing. It is at the center of the Shoals within 10 minutes from most anything in the area. It is 10 minutes from the RTJ Golf course .There is a marina 5 minutes from our house that you can rent a Pontoon boat and enjoy Wilson Lake or You can fish from the pier here. If you want to bring a boat the dock 10 minutes away and tie up at the pier here.
