About this property

Peaceful Scenic Pond & Home Close to Beach/Sports/Entertainment

Our fairly rural peaceful home is newly remodeled with 2100 sq ft living area aside a picturesque pond (catch & release only, bream & large mouth bass) and pecan orchard remnants. (Rental only encompasses 1 acre of what is the yard around the house.) Once was our childhood home and now a second home. Fully furnished newly remodeled kitchen, living area, sitting room & front and back porches, 2.5 baths & 3 bedrooms with nearly all new bedding, sleeping up to eleven. Spacious and open great room with two separate sitting areas each with a 65" Roku TV, one with game console (Wii) and a great multitude of games or bring your own console and games for hookup. Easy access to Gulf Shores Beaches (30 min, 17 mi.) and OWA Amusement Waterpark & Entertainment Destination (10 min., Foley, AL), Foley Sportsplex (18 mins), The Wharf Amphitheater (25 mins, Orange Beach) or even Florida Beaches (less than and hour). Relax on the front porch or back per your viewing choice of spacious front yard with flora or back patio with pecan tree backdrop, pasture and pond with soon to be added canoeing, all at your fingertips.

Family Home
We had a wonderful stay at this family home. It was perfect for our large family, there was plenty of space and games for our 5 children ages 1 to 11. It is perfectly located away from the hustle and tourist traffic. With a short drive we were at the beach or any desirable restaurant. Our hosts were so welcoming and easy to reach. We have already been discussing our next trip.

Great place in the country
This was a nice house in the country. Only 25 minutes and we were on the beach. Lots of room with the open concept. Two tvs with couches plus the diningroom table with the kitchen so everyone can visit and enjoy time together. We even built a fire in the firepit and made smores one night.

Great place to stay. Would come back!
The only knock we had is the length of the grass. Wish it was cut down. Aside from that, zero complaints.

Glorious stay
Loved the house, location and accessibility to the owner. He was so responsive and the price was phenomenal! If you want access to any part of the Orange beach/Gulf Shores/Florabama area this is the place! Beautiful outdoors and indoors! Definitely a five star stay!

A Great And Enjoyable Stay
The place was exactly what we needed. We had 17 people and we fit in just fine. There weren’t enough beds for all of us, we knew this in advance, so we just brought some extra blow up beds. It worked out just fine. The house and yard is very spacious and was clean. We had everything we needed to cook meals and plenty of stuff to keep us all entertained (two large TVs, foosball table, ping pong table, video Game Center, board games, etc.). The yard was big enough for us to have a kickball game. Overall we had a great week staying here. David and his wife were great hosts. They communicate with us often to make sure our stay was pleasant. We would stay here again if we have the opportunity to come back to Alabama.

Peaceful haven
The host, David, is very available and helpful with any questions. The house is perfectly situated and has a huge private backyard. It is very quiet and clean. Very spacious and well laid out. I would highly recommend if you prefer being a little further out from the busy beach but still within easy reach. We had a lovely time and made some unforgettable memories. Thank you

Great snowbird retreat
Everything was just as described, the house was large and well equipped. Comfy beds and plenty of kitchen utensils, hot showers and clean bathrooms. The property is very large which was a bonus feature for us, we're used to being in the country. Nearby Foley had very good restaurants, with Pensacola also a short drive. David is an excellent host, with lots of local knowledge and quick to respond to questions. Thanks for the stress free winter get away!

Very spacious & clean house. Great location to experience OWA, Gulf Shores & Orange Beach.
Will definitely return to Elberta. Sweet little town with a great local butcher in the grocery store. We were away from the hustle bustle of the beach crowds & noise. This house made us feel like we were in our home ♥️♥️
