Almost perfect

The house was nice. The covered deck overlooking the bay was perfect. Such a peaceful area for a couple that wants to reconnect. I told my wife that I I would rate this as a 10 out of 10 except for one thing. That bed! It is way too soft. Upgrade it please!

Cozy get away

Stayed at the property with just myself and partner. Host was amazing and prompt with responses. The property was clean and the views were beautiful. We will return to this property when we need a quiet place to unwind and be away from crowds and the hustle of work.

Beautiful Bay View

Very clean and beautiful views from the home. The pier is nice to walkout on at sunrise and sunset. The only complaint is the arrangements. The bed and the sofa sleeper are not comfortable at all. We bought new pillows to try to help, but still did not help. Would recommend bringing an air mattress for a queen size and use it in the bed. The shower is great and a big plus to have all the hot water you would need. Jessie’s on the bay is just up the road and would highly recommend checking it out.

no security lighting. Poor driveway access

The motion detector at front door not working. There are no security lights in parking area, making it difficult to navigate out of driveway, especially with larger vehicle. Nice area to park, just needs trees and bushes trimmed back a little.

Very nice, clean and comfortable. Just right for a couple. We fished, enjoyed the sunsets from the pier and had a great vaca. The bed was so comfortable and the shower was great. Kitchen was set up really nice. We loved the back deck.

Loved this property! Very clean, comfortable bed, awesome private covered back deck with private pier. Visited Fort Morgan, took ferry to Dauphin Island for the day, and close to Gulf Shores. Some of our favorite restaurants nearby were Sassy Bass and Tacky Jacks. Will definitely be back!
