    Great Little Cottage
    Place was just as described. Loved fishing from the dock, and we even caught a few fish. Clean and comfortable. Loved the old wood floors. Reminded me of my great grandma and grandpa’s floor. Brought back some great memories. Just peaceful and relaxing.

    Peaceful and Qauint!
    Super smooth process all the way through! Communication was perfect, home was as described. Very clean and everything we needed! Views of the sunsets were amazing! Peaceful and comfy! Close to the Fort, Tacky Jacks, Fort Morgan pizza and others. Trip to town was short if needed. All appliances worked great. The only “con” would be the sliding glass door was hard to open. This is so minor but I feel needs to stated. It feels very private and is enjoyable. The pier was sturdy and the bench at the end faces West: perfect for sunsets!

    Perfect!
    This property was perfect for our weekend. The cottage was exactly as described in the ad and the pictures were exactly what the property looked like. It was clean and very comfortable. I cannot describe how relaxing it was sitting on the porch and hanging out on the dock. Our Easter morning was amazing as we sat on the end of the dock and attended Easter services via our electronic device. What made it even more awesome was that within 5 minutes of arriving, we were greeted by a passing dolphin. We can't say enough about how much we needed this weekend and this property could not have been better!! Thank you!

    Your remodel and choice of decor is excellent! The cleaning company that you are using is not taking care of your property and it made the house seem different from the pictures. No one is changing the bed sheets/comforter or cleaning the tub/shower, floors. Also cleaning that cottage should take more than 35 minutes. I used to clean hotels and work for merry maids so I can tell whats up;) Otherwise the neighbors were nice and everything was as expected! You and your adorable cottage deserve better!

    Relaxation by the Bay
    This is such a sweet little cabin. We have stayed twice. Breakfasts on the deck are my favorite part; however, the addition of an indoor table was definitely welcome during a round of severe weather. The empty lot next to the cabin makes it feel secluded. It is also a great spot to watch birds and dolphins.

    Mold Smells
    This is our yearly trip to the Gulf and we were so excited to stay in this little bay front house with private dock. Check in was a breeze, pretty clean, the wood floors were a wreck and were so uneven but the mold smell was unbearable. I don’t know where it was coming from as we were not able to stay due to my wife’s allergies and asthma. Contacted the owner to cancel our trip and she argued that there was no visible mold and didn’t understand that mold can be airborne. I think her exact words were “Well it’s not my problem your wife can’t breathe.” I know she will dispute this because I’ve read a lot of these reviews. Called VRBO And they wouldn’t do anything because we hadn’t taken any pictures. If there is mold under the floors or behind the Sheetrock you won’t see it but you can sure smell it. I’ve been in the construction industry for 30+ years and this place needs work. We rented this house on good faith from across the country and showed up to a turd, with no plan B, had to get a hotel, and scrambled to find a new rental on short notice to salvage our vacation. Someone needs to be responsible for making sure the owners are maintaining the quality of these rentals. So at the end of the day we don’t get our money back because WE didn’t take the insurance and WE didn’t take pictures of mold you can’t see and WE didn’t take photos of the wood floors that are in disrepair. No consequences for these owners or VRBO, Renter beware

    Lovely property with great access to bay via dock. House is small but perfect for the two of us. Only problem was the kitchen pans were really unusable. One had burnt on food. We did go out and buy 2 fry pans and left them for future guests

    Relaxing on the Bay
    The property was great. Just as described. Perfect for my wife and myself. Great view of the bay and a great pier even though I did not get to use it much due to the weather (30+ mph winds). But that did not keep us from enjoying our time here. Shonna was great to work with as well and even helped us out when my wife had left behind one of her favorite necklaces. Shonna put us in touch with the housekeeping crew who had found her necklace and are in the process of getting it back to us. Needless to say I am very grateful for all the help from everyone and will definitely be checking on this property the next time we are planning a trip to the Gulf Shores area
