Beautiful & Relaxing

This is our second stay as a group but my husbands 3rd stay. Never disappoints with how beautiful the house and the view is. Even enjoyed sitting out on the deck and listening to the music from the beach club across the street. Thanks again to the owners for renting out such a beautiful place.

Excellent stay

The property is a little older but it was clean. My husband and I wanted a place off the grid a little and away from the noise of tourist spots. Plus he wanted to do a lot of fishing. It was the perfect choice with the private dock and in location. We would definitely look to book here again.

Just what was needed…

We enjoyed our vacation to the Gulf Shores. We will definitely be back. The VRBO was convenient to all necessary items, while at the same time being remote and quiet. The location allowed us to relax enjoy the water or take a short drive to catch the ferry to Dauphine Island, walk at the wildlife refuge or shop at the Wharf.

A sad time for us.

The location was great. but there were small roaches inside. On our arrival we got a phone call that my mother in law had dies. So we stayed one night and then had to travel home. but the coffee maker did not work that morning. I wish we could have gotten some money back or a voucher to use at another time. I understand the rules but a death should be an excuse to get some sort of a refund.

***ROACHES***

If I could give this 0 stars I would. The only pro of this house was the size and the peir. The driveway is rutted pretty bad in many spots . The houses on each side of the property are basically falling down. The one home literally has a chunk of tree that collapsed on it. (I know the property manager can't control others properties, but just something to think about since you have no other choice but to stare at the eye soars because the homes are right on top of each other. ) When we arrived at 4 to check in, as soon as we entered the home the floors were still visibly dirty (mainly sand, but still disappointing considering all renters are paying pretty ridiculous cleaning fees.) The 3 bedrooms were carpeted and stained in multiple spots. The fridge worked just enough to keep thing cool (but wait I'll tell you why you don't even want to use the fridge!) Water pressure for the shower was terrible. When I originally booked this Vrbo back in January 2023, the reviews were decent (any bad ones were mainly about the downstairs room smelling awful, which we didnt plan to use) After you book a place, why would you keep checking reviews? I should have, because they went down hill FAST. And all about cleanliness. So anyone reading this, the previous reviews from the 2023 year, they are true and in my opinion, people were being too nice in these bad reviews. This place is full of ROACHES. It shouldn't even be continued to be rented out. I noticed a few the first nig

Wedding

The house was a great size and plenty of space. We also had everything we could need. The house was not as clean as I’d expect (hairs on pillow, shower, misc trash on end table, etc.) and there was a roach issue. All in the kitchen and living area, crawling on the walls, floor, counters and couch. That was unsettling. Aside from that it was a nice house. Though I wouldn’t likely stay again. Thanks!!

Great time!

Our adult son stayed in the downstairs bedroom, I’m not sure if the smell was moldy or just the damp wood paneling, but he was happy there, the bathroom was very small downstairs so we didn’t use it for showers, just for bathroom breaks while fishing and cleaning fish (the fishing was great)! We enjoyed the views the whole time! And it was very peaceful and quiet. No complaints!

Last Minute Fort Morgan Getaway

I hesitated to rent due to the last couple of reviews in regard to cleanliness. Unfortunately, they were right. The place was cute but could have been cleaned better. The carpet needs to be replaced…it is stained up pretty bad. I had to unload the dishwasher from previous guest. That should have been handles prior to my arrival. We did not need the extra room downstairs, which is good due to the smell from that area. The view is beautiful as long as you look straight ahead. Houses on both sides of the property are dilapidated. That’s really a shame. I am one that reads EVERY SINGLE REVIEW and should know better. I would not rent again.

Overpriced for what it is

In terms of real estate they say it’s always about location, location, location. Anywhere within a few miles of the shore is going to be expensive. I get it. So what do I mean by overpriced? Well, the fees we pay to have it cleaned, the price for the “entire” home was sub par. We got there well after check in time and the people they outsource cleaning to just showed up 10 minutes before we did. Then, when we get settled in the upstairs A/C unit wouldn’t get below 78. It’s a very small home and it was ran by a 2 ton straight AC which should have kept up. Some of the vents were building up condensation which WILL lead to mold FYI for guests staying after July 4th 2023. There was no air filter in the filter grill, so it’s just pumping dirty air clogging up those coils. Explains the struggle that unit is having. Said something about it (included photos) to the manager and nothing was done. The downstairs bathroom is a complete joke. You guys have had several other guests complaining about the smell. It’s horrible. They said they would have a plumber come out, no one did. So I had to pay full price for only able using 1 bathroom instead of two. Just a hint, replace the toilet because that’s where the smell is coming from. Bad wax ring and it’s not sealed. Or, convert it into a storage closet because advertising that it’s anything other than a smelly dumpster fire is a lie. The fridge is old and way outdated and could barely keep our groceries cool.

It was okay.

This wasn’t our best stay. I’ll start with the positives. -this fishing was wonderful -the view was beautiful -the location was great -it was a roof over our head and a shower to shower in. The negatives: -the cleaning crew showed up at 3:30 and check in was supposed to be at 4:00. She was not done with the upstairs until 5:00. we had a 5 month old sitting in the car the whole time with an adult waiting to be able to even get him inside the house. Unacceptable for the amount of money being paid. -the house was dirty. The rugs were disgusting. The rug in front of the washer was soaked. When we picked it up there was black on the floor. The floor wasn’t mopped before we came in. It looks like she just changed the bed sheets and picked up dishes. Not even sure if the cleaning crew swept. -the downstairs bedroom is so musty it’s hard to bear, there is also ants all on the couch. -the downstairs shower was gross and smelt awful. -trash from the people before us was left on the outside(to go boxes, lids from milkshakes) due to the cleaning crew rushing. For spending the amount of money we spent, I felt like we should’ve had a clean place to stay. Thank you.

Perfect Getaway on The Bay!!

The cottage is very charming. We loved it! The pier on the bay was amazing! My son caught blue crabs for the first time and my daughter cooked them. They had a fishing contest and caught all kinds of fish! The location was perfect. The older kids went to the beach every day. The water was calm and clear!!! My daughter even loved the downstairs bonus room. We had a quick major storm one night and branches fell on my windshield and made multiple cracks. The company was very professional about it! We would love to return. We had a family of 8, and it was the perfect size!!!

Loved our stay!

The property is just as it says. Very clean and I really loved how we were right off the bay, perfect morning view while you enjoy your coffee! I did get to see some dolphins on our stay as well so it was perfect! We stayed here for our spring break family getaway and we all really loved it. It pretty much has everything you need to make your breakfast, lunch or dinners, of course bring your foods lol if you’re staying for a few days definitely bring your extra essentials as it is only a a starter pack you’ll get on arrival (which thank you for that!) I know I did see a comment about the fourth room and the smell. It’s located downstairs from the house. We personally didn’t use it , it’s not like a horrible smell its just a i guess “sea life” smell which makes sense being right off the bay. This wasn’t an issue for us though we were still all able to stay in the house comfortably. I would personally recommend this location. It was great with great views and very clean. Super comfortable and we had no issues while we stayed with any tv connection or remotes. We would definitely book this place again in the future!

Brought friends and family to stay at this house for spring break. Plenty of room, clean, and pretty view with a private dock. Gas station in walking distance but quite a hike to the beach (15 min walk). Not many food delivery options but Walmart did deliver (multiple times lol).

Great house, weather not so much

To no one’s fault but my own, the 2 main things I didn’t care for was not being close to the beach and the end of January weather. I didn’t do my research well enough. This place would be awesome in the summer time with the breeze coming off the bay. Host was great and I actually love the house and the quiet neighborhood.
