Perfect ocean getaway

For spring break this year my family of 6 decided we would visit Alabama for the first time. The house was perfect for our family. Everything we needed was supplied. Very clean and modern with lots of coastal touches. My 4 sons loved the dock. Spent hours crabbing & fishing. The hammock chairs were a wonderful bonus. Wish the waters were calmer for kayaking. Water pressure in the house is perfect. When we weren’t on the dock during the daylight hours we were on Dauphin Island at all 3 beaches. Jumping the waves, picking up shells, walking the shores, and climbing rocks were some favorites. Along with the island aquarium, bird sanctuary, and Fort Gaines. Great shopping and food on the island as well. Anyone who is considering this house you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful view with awesome private dock

If you're looking for quiet time, this is the perfect place. Coffee on the porch watching the sunrise is amazing. Its Feb, so was a tad cool and very windy. The private dock is great. The house could use some improvements (new trash drawer, remove "restroom & employee only" signs (makes it feel like a hotel), kitchen towels/hot pads needed, cozier living room chairs). But that wouldn't stop me from staying again. The hammock chairs are THE BEST spot for naps and reading! I ordered 1 for my home. It's a beautiful, private place to stay.

Great Waterfront Home

We throughly enjoyed the home. Super clean. Kitchen appliances are excellent. Everything you need is there to prepare any meal. The dock and fishing / crab trap equipment are excellent. We enjoyed sitting on the dock in the evenings. Highly recommend this property.

Beautiful setting and owner thought of everything

The setting on Mobile Bay is impressive. The house is laid out well and the owner thought of everything you’ll need on your stay. We really enjoyed our time on the pier early in the morning and late at night. Such a peaceful setting and the unobstructed view of the stars at night was awesome. We will definitely be back.

Dockside fun!

Beautiful and very clean property with the needs present. We got our license and fished/crabbed and waded in the unexpectedly shallow water. Fun for all. Home was clean with no bugs which is hard to do on the coast, so immaculate. Loved our stay we made great memories

Little slice of heaven

Very clean had everything you needed. The best was the dock owner did not hold back on anything on it had pole holders crab traps running water electric outlets and lights for at night. A plus in my book. Me and my wife have stayed in a lot of places this is up there on are list we will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you for a excellent place.

Wonderful getaway

We really enjoyed our stay. Enjoyed a little time on the pier and even caught a few crabs. Saw a beautiful sunrise from the porch. House was perfect for us. It was nice and had everything we needed. The Host was very responsive, and nice. The day we were supposed to leave the roads were icy and she genuinely cared about our safety. We hope to come back in the spring or summer.
