The weather was perfect in mid October. The house accommodated our group nicely. The children really enjoyed the yard. They played ball and kayaked and fished. The morning sunrise was perfect and beautiful, birds dolphins and all! ##### Andre D. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brittany S. 19 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spring weekend Comfortable & quiet escape for couples and families. Beautiful sunrises over the river every morning from the huge screened-in porch. Nice to sit on and listen to the rain or watch the many herons and other birds (saw an osprey while we were there) with the river boat traffic. Kayaks and fire pit were a nice touch and both worked well. Nice to have the covered parking under the house and easy in-out drive way to turnaround in since it’s at the end of the road. We didn’t have a boat for the dock but it was nice to sit on and looked like it would work well. Open kitchen with a huge amount of counter space open to the living area was nice to be able to interact while cooking and look out onto the river. We had to switch between heat and A/C several times with the Spring conditions while there and both worked fast and well. Internet worked well enough for streaming and a few meetings for my partner and I while we were there. The main Gulf Shores beach is about 20 minutes away but can be up to 45 with traffic. Publix (main grocery store) is about 15/20 mins away. Tin Top and Jesse’s both were good restaurants nearby. No sidewalks so it can be hard to run for those who like to. Might also be good to add a little binder with info about the area. Really nice to be so close to the beaches but to feel so much more quiet and not as hectic as the main Gulf Coast beaches have become. Overall, great spot to do nothing and relax. ##### Brittany S. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet F. 21 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing experience This home is definitely a go to! We've had such a great time here. When we come back to Gulf Shores, we truly hope this home is available because we'd stay here again. Clean, comfortable, peaceful, and relaxing! I'd recommend this home to everyone! ##### Janet F.
