Enjoy beautiful Gulf views and spectacular sunrises and sunsets while watching for Dolphins, Herons and other wildlife from three levels of decking furnished with director’s and lounge chairs and tables. The ground level offers covered parking and tasteful low-level landscape lighting for comfort and security at night. Hot and cold water in the fully-enclosed lighted shower and outdoor sink make it easy to leave the 'beach' behind. The picnic table is shaded from the sun.

Granite countertops and tables throughout the fully equipped Kitchen (with walk-in pantry), Dining room and Great room make this living space both comfortable and easy to maintain. 'We have tried to provide everything so you don’t have to'. The screened porch with lighted ceiling fan off the Queen bedroom allows for an additional relaxing and eating space.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is just perfect in every way. My family and my best friends family stayed in the house and there was plenty of space for all of us. The views are to die for and the location is perfect. I have stayed in other houses in AL and I just keep coming back to this one. This is by far my favorite place to stay while on vacation. We are already looking at dates to stay next year.

Little bit o' heaven
Excellent property. Third time staying here. Always clean, well stocked kitchen, nice improvements on the decks. Only minor issue was ice maker in freezer. Made ice but would not dispense. No biggie. Highly recommend this property for a great vacation!

Perfect Spot
We always love staying at Hibearnation! We love the house and the quiet beach. It’s about a 20 minute drive into town but we love being out of the busyness of the tourist area yet still close enough to go in and enjoy some nice meals in the evenings if we want to. No complaints here😊

Not good
The road to the property was a washed out sand road full of massive holes. The forst thing the keys were in the house not in the lock box. The main door was inop . They sent someone right out. So from the t I me we got there till we left very underwlming property.The house itself was fine very dirty. Where there were vents they were full of dust. Every one of them . The bathroom fans were outdated and yellow. The door handle collars on three doors were hanging off. The dishwasher hose was not connected so that made a mess flooded the kitchen. Not a good place. The guest batroom had the handle broken off in the shower to turn water on. The ceiling fan in the huest room was broken. Barely spins. The utensils still had food on them that were in the drawer. We had an ant infestation on the last day. The property manager was belpful but when she told me it was the end of the season and the wear and tear can be expected i lost interest in speaking to them. I spent 6000 plus with taxes for a house that the manager even says was not up to par. I am probably going to call the credit card company and report this as unhappy with product and then pay them what i think its worth to stay here . Its not worth 6000 needing all this repair. Its ridiculous to have to pay premium for a sub par renatal.

Very nice getaway
The property was very nice. The door was a bit hard to lock, but the manager got someone on that right away. We had all the cooking supplies/utensils, we could need. The beach access was wonderful. Had no problems with neighbors being loud. It was a really nice way to celebrate our friends and our daughters high school graduation. Would highly recommend this property.

Our favorite place to stay
We love all aspects of this property from the layout of the home and all the amenities. The top deck offers privacy and sunbathing opportunities, the middle deck offers protection from the sun. The screened in porch provides a great place to eat and watch the dolphins. Underneath the house offers a place to cook on the grill. Love the location too! We appreciated being able to stay at this wonderful home! Thank you!

Beautiful Location!
7 adults stayed for a week in this property. The location was perfect and the scenery beautiful. Our only complaint is that the living room furniture was just wicker outdoor furniture and there were not enough places for everyone to sit out together. For this reason, we will probably not stay at this location again, but we will definitely stay in the same area.

Second time staying here and will be back!
This is the second time staying in this house and it once again exceeded my expectations. The house is absolutely gorgeous and we love the private beach. Jackie responded immediately to my questions (no issues, just normal everyday questions). This year we brought my niece with us and shes already telling her mom about how beautiful the house is and how amazing our vacation was. We will definitely be back next year.
