About this property

Waterfront Bay property with private beach and pier!

Home away from Home! Not just another rental! This wonderful family friendly property is perfect for larger groups. The bay is sandy bottomed, fairly shallow, and perfect for swimming, fishing, crabbing and kayaking. 3 kayaks plus life vests are included in rental. Just bring your fishing pole! Sleeps 14 with 4 bedrooms plus a loft. Large back deck plus 250 foot pier and huge 16x 30 covered dock. Lots of sand toys and games included. If you want to enjoy the beach without the crowds, this is the place for you. We’ve provided most things you’ll need for a wonderful vacation, just pack your clothes and food! Upon arrival you’ll notice the coffee station with keurig and regular coffee pot plus coffee, and sweetners provided. The kitchen is equipped with almost anything you need including spices, garbage bags, paper products and dish washing soap. There is a crockpot and large boiling pots, plus a blender. The laundry room is supplied with laundry detergent. The bathrooms have toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. The gulf beach is just 1.5 miles away, so you have that option too. There are 2 king sized beds, 2 queen beds, 2 full beds and 4 twin beds. There are 2 charcoal grills on the property, plus a fire pit for roasting hot dogs, or marshmallows or just sitting around the fire on a cool evening. We want you to enjoy your stay, but please treat our home with respect. Do not throw trash in our yard or beach, and certainly don’t leave trash in the house. We know you are on vacation, but don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink or dishwasher and leave the house tidy. It is a large home so the cleaning fee is reasonable and the cleaning service expects it to be tidy when they arrive😎. Most of our guests have done a beautiful job, but we recently had one that was a disaster, so please don’t book if you can’t abide by the rules.

Rest & Relaxation
If you are looking for a home away from home kind of feel then this is your house. Neptunes Nest was so cozy and Inviting. The house was very clean and filled with every amenity you can of. The dock was one of our favorite places with its gorgeous views of the sunsets, fish jumping and seeing dolphins swim by everyday. inviting.

Family fun under the sun!
I don’t know where to begin! The Sunrise or Sunset…the comfy beds…the kids loft…the back deck…the pier…the dolphins…the view…the spacious home. This place is great!! It has everything you need. Lighten the load and pack less. It has kayaks, jon boat, body board, life jackets, sand toys, and chairs. We went to the beach one day and realized the house was better than the beach. And it even has its own sandy beach. I almost want to give it a bad review so no one else finds this gem! Just kidding, it is too great to ever give it anything less than 5stars! This was truly Family fun under the sun!

God’s country
Communication with owner was spot on. If you seek solemn rest in sunrises and sunsets, this is the place for you. Whether the view is from the sofa, the back deck, or the covered pavilion at the end of the pier, the view was magnificent. The layout of the house allows for multiple areas to gather without being on top of each other. It’s open and airy. House is equipped with pretty much anything you need. All the cabinets are labeled with the contents, which made it super easy. The owner is quite an accommodating with a very simple request; Enjoy our home and your stay just take care of things. You won’t be disappointed if you have a group and need some space that offers comfort and beauty.

Perfect as possible
While nothing is perfect this property lived up to our expectations. There are no high waves since you are in a bay--and that is great for families with kids. Sunsets are beautiful! Traffic is getting more congested, but that is everywhere. It is quiet. Unit is well stocked. We saw a variety of wildlife. There are grocery stores, clinics, shopping nearby. If you have good credit and work with the owner and property manager, which is easy, you will be satisfied. We will return when possible!

Christmas on the bay at Neptunes Nest
They have a well stocked kitchen. We were able to prepare meals with ease. We did some baking as well. There were tables for playing games, cards and doing puzzles. They have yard games and the dock was a great hangout spot. This is a great property year round. It is close to shopping and other activities. There was also fresh fruit on the tree. Will have to go back in the summer.

House on Bay
Fantastic week. Plenty of room for our 3 familys (6 adults and 6 kids). Loved being on the bay where it was about 3-4’ deep. Perfect for the kids. Had fun with the paddle board, kayak, and beach toys. Had to drive to the ocean side for the beach, but not a problem- took 10-20 minutes depending on which beach you went to. Area is more secluded and a lot less busy than in the town of Gulf Shores or Orange Beach. Wish we could go every year.

Best VRBO vacation yet!!
I can't say enough great things about this rental!!! Besides the gorgeous views from the back deck, there was a gorgeous dock to watch dolphins -- and even an alligator, in the evenings!! The house was stocked with everything you could think of -- and a bunch of things you didnt even know you needed :) We traveled with a 2 year old, and the amount of toddler things in the house was awesome!! Communication was super easy! She was very quick to respond! The house was super clean, and all the beds were very comfortable! If our travels ever take us back to Gulf Shores--and we hope it does -- we will stay here again for sure!!!

Beautiful place for our family vacation
Our family vacation was perfect at this rental. While we experienced bad weather and rip tides that prevented a lot of beach time, we were able to enjoy the dock for fishing, the sand for the kids when it wasn’t raining, and the arcade games indoors. The house was well stocked. The owner was attentive to any issues we experienced.

Private beach house
The house and property were excellent and more than what we expected from the online listing! There were lots of extras and amenities...The arcade-like video games were a big hit with everyone, the decks and docks and little private beach were excellent. The 4 kayaks and canoe were used by everyone often. The cornhole game was a big hit. The house was huge and everyone in our party of seven had plenty of private bedroom and bathroom access whenever they needed. There were also plenty of tables and chairs for whatever activity we needed. The front yard fire pit and pond were very nice. The back deck was in constant use and very enjoyable. The kitchen appliances were very nice. We had everything we needed. The house was very nicely decorated and in good repair. The location was great. Barely saw any neighbors all week. The property was huge and peaceful. Anyone could get privacy whenever they wanted. The living room and kitchen areas were huge and we had lots of family gatherings there with no crowding.

This is the 2nd time we stayed as a family at this house. We enjoyed being able to relax at the fire pit, back porch, and pier while still being close to all the attractions of the surrounding areas. Linda was great to work with while in renting the house and making sure we had everything we needed for our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Gaspard

Host profile image
I am a realtor in. Louisiana. We purchased this property because we have a large family, with 25 grandchildren. They love to swim and fish and kayak in the bay. This is a unique property, with 100 year old live oaks, plus the sand and water. The house has a huge open living area to accommodate our family. We have really enjoyed it, and just decided to start sharing it with others, the sunset and sunrise from the pier is incredible, and if you’re lucky, you may see dolphin.

Why they chose this property

It sits on over and acre of land with beautiful live oaks and a small orchard in front with lemon, satsuma and kumquat trees. It’s very quiet and peaceful, plus has the sand and water. It’s only a few miles from the gulf beach. The bay is 6 miles across so the water view is spectacular. The bay is sandy bottomed and shallow so the kids love to play and swim in it.

What makes this property unique

Quiet, secluded .. you’re at the beach, without all the noise and crowds.
