Back to school trip

This location was even better than we had expected. We planned one last trip before school starts to let kids play in the ocean and do a little fishing. Could never imagined we were literally feet away from one of the best times they would ever have. Kids fished from sunup till late in the night. While we were able relax in the shade We were a 5 minutes walk from shore fishing and riding the waves in the gulf

Best choice!

The property was exactly as portrayed in the description and pictures. But, the many extras are hard to include. The host provided so many thoughtful extras - laundry detergent, shampoo(in case you forgot yours), a few coffee pods with cream and sugar.We arrived earlier than expected and the cottage was ready and waiting for us! The cottage was so nicely decorated and looked new. Comfy beds and cloud soft pillows welcomed us after a fun day of fishing, bicycling, and exploring.Perched on the edge of Mobile Bay, we were often visited by dolphin venturing into the canal and a solitary alligator cruising the bank!Sitting on the sofa, you are able to watch the sunrise and sunset.This was a rare treat!Thank you, Nicki!

Sweet little cottage

We loved Pelican's Perch. Our usual house in that same neighborhood was booked for the week we wanted so we chose this little cottage. It has fantastic views, even from the inside you can see everything. Furniture was comfortable, clean and the cottage itself was clean. Very cozy! The king bed was not that great, in our opinion. The beach area and dock are great. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the chairs provided. We also brought our own chairs and sat under the house in the afternoons enjoying the cool breeze. The cottage was a lot smaller than what we've rented in the past. There was not a lot of space in the bathrooms to "unpack your stuff". Also, in the kitchen, there isn't really anyplace to put all the groceries, etc. except the countertops. There is not a dishwasher. OH wait, that's me! :) They provided hand soap, dish soap, a roll of paper towels and toilet paper, If you are only staying a week it was plenty. The neighborhood is quiet. We watched dolphins out in the bay everyday. And there was an neighborhood alligator that was fun to watch from afar. Nicki, our host, was very responsive even answering questions before our stay. That is always appreciated! It was a great stay! We would definitely consider renting this cottage again.
