Quiet getaway

We enjoyed a quiet time again at the cozy cottage. Cheryl was very attentive to our needs since it was very cold and ended up getting snow!! Not what we expected on our trip to the gulf, but it was a trip we will not soon forget!

Great place right on the bay!

Property was clean and looked exactly like the pictures. Cheryl was very friendly and made check in and out easy. She even gave us some tips about good places to eat that were close by We had everything we needed and it was located in a nice quiet neighborhood with a great view of the bay. I would definitely stay here again.

The out side doesn’t do the inside justice. Rooms stayed very cold, no issue here, everything worked properly. The view out the back door was beautiful in the mornings.

Quiet and safe

Not "on the water". You have to walk between the property that is actually on the water and an empty lot. The neighborhood was quiet and definitely felt safe. There was no washing machine and dryer as advertised.

Fantastic Getaway

We came to this little cottage to be able to stay on the beach but with fewer people and noise of the city. This place delivered and then some! The water is just steps from the back door, with beautiful sunrises and sunsets, we even saw dolphins our last day there. Perfect escape on the beach, and close enough to anything you’d like to do or see in the bigger cities. We personally only went to Gulf Shores a couple times, otherwise we spent our time near or in the water by the cottage. If you’re looking for something fancy, this is not it, but if you’re looking for a simple, quiet getaway this is perfect. The place was clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. We did not bring the kids on this trip, but if you have kids this would be a perfect, safe place for them as well. The water is shallow and the neighborhood is safe and quiet, allowing kids to just be kids and parents to relax. Lastly, Cheryl is wonderful in helping with anything you need and making sure you feel welcome when you get there. We’re already talking about coming back next year.

Escape From the Business

This is a little home with all you need, nestled in a quiet neighborhood, waiting to help you relax. The water is in your backyard with the pelicans perched on their posts and the loons dipping under the waters catching their meals. If you need a get-away this is your place!

Off the path beach cabin

This little home is everything it is presented as. Great view. Quiet neighborhood. It seemed to be undergoing an update. The master bedroom is very comfortable. It could use a small tv, but other than that, good room. Tv room/second bedroom is ok. The matress on the hideaway sucks, but i guess they all suck. I'd replace it with a new matress. The couch is fine. The bathroom is nice. Nice enough my wifes wants me to replace our shower in the master suite in our home with a head system like this one. Kitchen is large, maybe a little large for the space. The toaster is ehhh. But works. I would replace the SMALL toaster oven with a toaster/airfryer combo( that way you can fry some fish you catch off the seawall with no mess)! The rest of the appliances are good. The table is great. I would use some of the kitchen or that large main bedroom for a small washer and dryer. (Maybe a small apartments style stack?) But we loved this place and Cindy was great and communicated well and set expectations. Stay here if you're not into the crowds and you will be theilled!

Relaxing, Quiet, Simple

Beautiful area. It was a nice pleasant place to stay and to be away from the tourist environment. We recommend Johnson's Beach. Very clean beach and less people. Wolf's Bay Restaurant in Foley was wonderful. Fisherman's Corner is great as well.

Slice of paradise

The property was exactly as described and was an absolute hidden gem. Located on the water front on a dead end road in a tiny town, it is the kind of find that is once in a lifetime. The property manager Cheryl was super nice, met us at the property showed us the public beach accesses and gave us some great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. Pirates Cove is an absolute must do while staying here! The only issue we had was a crazy neighbor who thinks she owns the public beach. We reached out and just informed the property owner about what she did and what we were doing and he was very responsive and apologetic. It is clear the lady just does not like that someone else on the road is renting out their property and is trying to scare his tennants of so we made sure he knew what happened in case she tried to cause him trouble and went on about our day. The views from the house are spectacular and the waters of the bay are calm and warm. We saw lots of fish, hermit crabs, blue crabs, and clams. There are amazing clam shells to collect in the water. The water is shallow like 2 feet deep out for probably 75 feet and so as a parent you can relax just a bit more knowing your child is not one big wave or accidental few steps from big dangers. I cannot say wnough how much we loved this place besides to say that we absolutely plan to return and soon. I am hoping to go and work on my dissertation in the peaceful serenity that I found here.

Must stay!

Far enough away from the business but close enough to the shopping and beaches to make this the best place to stay. The sunrise is a must see. Cheryl is the sweetest person I think I have ever met. This is a place that I would recommend to everyone and plan on going back to.
