Here are some past guests experiences: 5 Stars Kerry A This house is a great find! Closest house to the Gulf! Nice in every aspect! Comfy furniture, comfy beds, very well stocked kitchen for all your cooking needs. Out door sitting areas are fabulous with enough furniture for everyone. Even an outdoor TV. Definitely would stay again! Close to the end of Ft Morgan....So if you want to stay away from the condos and business of Gulf Shores and just want to enjoy the beach, this is the place to stay.
5 Stars Laura T. This is an absolutely incredible vacation home directly on the beach! The views are stunning from every room, and each bedroom has it's own balcony, perfect for watching pods of dolphins all throughout the day. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and easy with no problems and the house was spotless when we arrived. We felt like we almost had the beach to ourselves at this time of the year (Nov) and being able to have our dogs with us was a huge plus!! I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Wonderful Experience
House was as described - updated, clean, well appointed and directly on the beach. Perfect for my family of 5, a set of grandparents and two dogs. And we had plenty of room to spare. We will definitely be returning in the future.
