There was room for our large dog to run and play in the fenced yard. It was very clean and nicely decorated. Far enough from the road that traffic sounds were muted by the trees and with view of the water from the back. The small secluded “beach” at the back of the property made this a good choice for a winter getaway ##### Warren F.

The fenced yard was perfect for our dog, and I loved the screen porch. It’s a short drive to dog friendly Fort Morgan Beach. The bed was super comfortable, the house was very clean, and is the most well equipped rental I have ever stayed in. It had everything we could have possibly needed! We played golf several times (very close), biked the state park, and took the ferry to Dauphin Island. It’s a bit of a drive to town, but not bad and we really enjoyed the quiet and privacy of the location. Martha is a great host! ##### Pat B.

We stayed for a month at this lovely cottage. The location, 7 miles from Gulf Shores' main drag, was perfect, close enough for convenient outings, far enough from the hubbub. The cottage had comfortable beds, decorated nicely, kitchen had everything we needed. Best of all, we were able to bring our dog, with a fenced yard, and ample room for him to stretch his legs. Our host was accessible with great communication. Highly recommended! ##### Val C.

The house cozy clean and well stocked. We would have loved not having to go into fenced yard to enter. The key didnt work in the front door. we didnt want to leave a light on due to mosquitos. we bought a couple flash lights and that helped. The master bedroom was very comfortable. everything was clean, loved the screened in porch, shady and cool in the mornings easy to let our 2 dogs out of the bedroom to the porch and yard. I think they loved it as much as we did. It was nice to be away from traffic and still be a few minutes away. Lots of beaches to choose from ##### Linda P.

There were no problems booking this stay as were evacuating from the Big Bend area of Florida for Hurricane Helene. The owner was incredibly kind is accepting not only our Doggo, but an unusual check-in time due to the evacuation. The house was perfect for us. A great screened porch allowed us to sit outside without mosquitoes dining on us and the fenced yard allowed our dog to investigate, wander, and do her business. It may not be the fanciest house, nor the biggest but for what we needed, when we needed it, with the issues we presented (xl dog + evacuation constraints) it was perfect. A+ ##### Mike B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel S. 10 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay We stayed here for a week in late June. It was my husband and our 12 year old son. It was close enough to major attractions in Gulf Shores, but was very quite in the evenings. We didn't grill, but they have a nice grill and patio table in the yard. They have a screened in back porch which was perfect for reading in the evenings ( with a lamp!). The home was clean and had all the items we needed. I might recommend that the knives be sharpened ( all the ones I tried were dull). They beds were very nice and we had nice sleep. We would recommend it for someone with perhaps one child or maybe even two children. The outside yard was fenced in so I could also see it being nice for younger kids. ##### Rachel S.
