Excellent Snowbird Location

This was the perfect place to stay for our snowbird winter. We enjoyed it so much we booked again for next year. It is the place we had been looking for. The owners were quick to address a couple of small issues we had. The pool area is great and was close by which was great when the grandchildren came to visit. The only things I would warn about is the pool is NOT heated and the gnats can be a real pain at certain times. Highly recommend though.

Wonderful Experience!

I booked with Katie after reading the great reviews from other families and I'm so glad we did! The home was clean, organized, and even nicer than the pictures do it justice. All of the amenities we could have needed were there. The pool was clean and well kept, the subdivision was clean and quiet. Our ONLY complaint was the pool and that was no ones fault at all. It was too hot to swim in, but thats because temperatures have been in the upper 90's with "real feel" of over 100 each day. There was no way to keep it cool. So we spent all our time on the beach and in the ocean where the currents were nice and cool. We stayed for a week at the end of July with our 4 children (Ages 21, 14, 12 and 6) and my mother in law. We were a short 3 minute drive to the beach which, if you went earlier in the morning, had ample parking in the public lot. We were able to walk directly off the end of the boardwalk and have a spot for our canopy each day. It was perfect for my mother in law who has trouble walking long distances. We had Walmart deliver our groceries, so we never even had to go grocery shopping...I highly recommend. We got fresh seafood at the Seafood Market you'll pass as you leave Gulf Shores for one of our meals and it was fantastic! This stay was everything we could have hoped for. You won't regret choosing this location.

Excellent getaway spot!

We had so much fun and such a great stay at the Bama Beach Bungalow! Convenient location for public beach access, Fort Morgan Marina, and the Mobile Bay Ferry. Enjoyed having the pool so close to the house—this was great for our little guy! We would definitely return!

Great for my large family Spring Break

This house was perfect for my family of 7. Everyone had their own bed (we have 5 kids). We walked to the beach - my youngest is 5 so it was an ok walk for my kids and our preferred way to access the beach. You can drive and park as well. You can rent a golf cart but we just walked. It was very clean and Katie was very responsive! It’s a great location to the pool. Easy trip in to Gulf Shores and/or Orange Beach for activities. The Dollar General just down the road is well stocked. The no-see-ums are TERRIBLE late afternoon /early evening…so take bug spray. But…it’s a nature preserve area so not unexpected. When we walked to the beach we were able to setup in a spot where there were NO people near us. It was perfect! If you are looking for a remote, low key, no frills, quiet beach vacation this is it! We cooked in the kitchen and grilled most nights. The full size washer and dryer were awesome! There was a storage Pod set up right outside our unit and boats and construction equipment directly across - didn’t bother us but you’re not surrounded by palm trees if that’s what you’re looking for. It was a great value and comfortable clean accommodations for our vacation! We left very pleased.

Neat place to stay!

Our family enjoyed our time here. Very nice place. Close access to pool and beach. We really enjoyed our stay. It was nice being outside of gulf shores, where it's so busy, but still in the same area.

Perfect

Our family of 6 stayed at this property and loved it. We had originally booked it for two other adults to join us and they ended up not coming however, it still would have been plenty of space for all of us. The property was equipped with all the essentials we needed for our week trip and Katie the owner was amazing to work with. We were close to the ocean and also enjoyed that sitting on the porch we saw several creatures such as armadillo, frogs, lizards, and even a few snakes. Right around the corner is a small pond that we all enjoyed watching the little alligators. Thank you again for a great vacation location!
