My group really enjoyed every aspect of this property from the internal amenities to the external. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything we could have needed and the entire house was clean and spacious. We loved the dock for fishing, the heated pool and paddle boards and bikes. The property owner was fantastic to work with! We would love to make this our “go to” property!

Our family have been going to Gulf Shores since 2013 and this house has now been marked our all time favorite! Spacious, beautiful, comfortable home with the convenience of a private pool, little lagoon AND ocean/beach just a few steps away. We will definitely be booking this one again! Thank you for allowing my family to relax and enjoy our family vacation.

Too much to say about this beach house! Plenty of room and super clean. Perfect area for relaxing at the pool. So much available to do just at the house. Canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and a quite beach right across the street. Fabulous house and perfect hosts!

Wonderful Vacation Home

We loved our stay at this property. The host was so easy to communicate with, the kids loved the large (lighted) heated pool, there were lots of pool/beach toys available for us, and lots of space for our large family. It was so nice being on both the lagoon and just across from our private beach on the ocean. We will definitely consider staying here again!

Spring Break at the Bay

It was fabulous, plenty of space for the 9 of us. Huge island for food and prep, with plenty of bathrooms. Pretty much whatever you need they have it there for you. Pool was great for the kids especially when the weather wasn’t favorable for the beach. Close walk to the beach, great swings at the bay to take in the breeze and sunset, we would definitely return!!

When I tell you that this vacation was perfect, I absolutely mean every single word of it!! We literally did not want to leave! The house was amazing, the location was spot on and it was as if we had our own private beach. The pier was such a plus and kept my teenage grandsons off their phones. I hate to wish my life away, but we cannot wait until next year. Oh, and Becky is the best!!! So responsive to everything that we needed. You will not be disappointed booking this little piece of paradise!

Peace, laughter, and room to dance in the kitchen/great room. I relaxed on the sun porch for morning coffee. Beach time and pool time as well as a lagoon beach kept our family busy and happy. Sunsets and sunrises on the deck completed a perfect stay. Becky was so helpful answering all my questions. She feelsLike a friend!
