Beautiful home, perfect location and loved having the easy to get to private beach. We didn't get a chance to use the pool, but it looked nice too. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Orange Beach House
Perfect place for a week with the family. We normally go to 30A but decided to try something different this year, and I’m glad we did! Location was great, but would highly recommend renting the golf cart as it made our trips to the beach with gear very easy. We rented a beach chair and umbrella setup for the week which was perfect. The private beach was very nice and never crowded. Will stay here again!

Perfect Getaway
My friend and I stayed here a week and had a great time. The location was great between Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. The house was clean and very cute.The pool was excellent and the beach was a short walk . Loved the screened in porch where we spent our evenings drinking wine after returning from dinner!

Amazing Getaway!
We recently visited beach reads with some friends this spring, and had an awesome time. The house is very cute and in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Beach access was very easy, but we loved having the golf cart to haul our chairs and cooler.THE BEACH WAS BEAUTIFUL! In the morning, we explored the miles and miles of trails and walked to breakfast at one of the nicer hotels. You here for the whole night thank you. Go get your cereal. I'll do this in a second. Don't touch my phone. OK, I'm in the middle of all. Lots of great restaurants in the area. I imagine the pool is also nice in the summer, but it wasn't open yet. House was stocked with everything we needed and beds were comfortable. Highly recommend and hope we can come back again soon!

Can't wait to come back!
We stayed at Beach Reads for the week with our two kids and can't wait to go back. We enjoyed the golf cart which made it super easy to get to and from the beach in just a few minutes, the family games, the library of books to choose from and the rocking chairs on the front porch to drink coffee. The neighborhood is charming, friendly and quiet. The kids rode bikes in the neighborhood and we also checked out the Gulf State parks and trails. There was really never a dull moment. The kids cried when we left. We all can't wait to go back to Beach Reads.
