Delightful Respite

We are two golfing couples who golf at the nearby RTJ courses every fall. We usually stay in Florence at the Marriott. Our stay here was so much better. The house is great and we were interacting with our friends in a comfortable environment instead of being in a noisy bar. We will plan to return for our next visit.

Great Family Getaway!

We had a great time relaxing and getting away for a few days. The accommodations were amazing. All of us enjoyed the use of the private pool during the hot summer days. The kids even enjoyed night swimming. Jim and Susan were excellent hosts and our family enjoyed Gumbo the parakeet who had a fun time interacting with us. Will definitely come back again!

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.

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!

Team Retreat

We hosted a team bonding retreat and this was the perfect location! The views were stunning and the pool by the river was the perfect touch we needed after a long day of physical work. My only suggestion would be to add some grippies to the stairs on the pool. We had 4 separate people slip and fall because the stairs entering the pool were so slippery. Other than that it was a wonderful stay and our team has walked away closer than ever! Thank you for an amazing time!

Memorial Day 2020

The house and property are wonderful. What we did not read careful enough at the time of renting was the owners live upstairs with a parikeet, we were not ready for the additional bird noises or foot traffic you can hear. Overall we had a great time!

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.

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!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
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.
