Reviewer Comments: The Reel House was a gem! I’ve stayed various places on the gulf and this is top of the list. So clean, so nicely furnished, an ideal property on the water. The neighborhood was very quiet and the beach only two blocks away. However, we liked staying at the property with the small beach in front of the house. The dogs loved swimming, we relaxed by the water and enjoyed the view. Sunset Properties thought of everything for water recreation including kayaks, paddle boards, boogie boards, fishing poles and traps. You can’t go wrong with this cottage!! ##### marsha w.

I think in the future....the grass and sand burs need to be address because with pets and even people that is an issue. Also, the TV was awesome but football season is upon us and there needs to be a notation that the service is APP BASED so you can be prepared to have passwords and info on hand. Otherwise a beautiful property and location to TACKY JACKS and beach is very close. Sunset properties are great to deal with and very accommodating....will definitely use them again for my next getaway!!!! ##### Laurie R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather B. 8 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay!

Very easy to find, close enough to all of gulf shore’s amenities but far enough away to provide peace and quiet. House was very clean and it faces west so beautiful sunsets every night. Beach is an easy walk and was never too busy. Wildlife was great as well, saw dolphins multiple times! ##### Justin L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda A. 6 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great weekend trip We just spent a few days but enjoyed it ##### Amanda A.

The house was great and the process was easy but we had no idea that construction was occurring right next door. Starting bright and early every day there was construction noise all day long. It made time on the porch not enjoyable. It was not a relaxing get-away as we had hoped. I just wish it had been disclosed so I could have made an informed decision. ##### Julie A.

Pictures show a relaxing little cottage but little did we know they were building 2 houses right next door. Workers were there from early morning to late night, hammering, drilling and making a lot of noise. The peaceful retreat was far from it! The house being built next door is approximately 10-15 feet away, so very close. The cleanliness of the house was questionable also. Seems there were several spills and stains throughout the house. Kitchen counters had a spill of white goo??? No I would not recommend this house unless you had very low expectations! ##### Linda O.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was amazing. Looked like it was brand new. It was stocked with plenty of the necessities ie.. pots pans towels etc. Couldn't have asked for anything more. ##### Cathy F. ---
