Our stay here was fabulous, the property was well kept and the house was outstanding. We had plenty of room for everyone the dining room table was huge all the appliances were new and clean and the location was off the beaten path and quiet yet close to all the excitement and restaurants Thank you for having us , The Hisers
We had a great time staying at the cottage. It’s on a pretty large section of property with water views and access. 10 minute drive from gulf shores or the launch at FT Morgan. And we had our dogs and they were made so comfortable with toys and things provided at the cottage. Would recommend and definitely stay again.
Great property! Very private, terrific
If you have a dog, fenced in yard. Papery manager was great to work with. All of the amenities you’d want. We will definitely be back.
We felt so at home here and are already thinking about coming back in the Fall! My husband and his father fished from the private pier across the street while the rest of us played in the sand on the little beach which was perfect for children! My 4 year old kept telling me “this is the best day ever”! In the back yard, we grilled burgers and made s’mores in the fire pit while relaxing in the adirondack chairs. My German Shepherd hung out on the back patio and the fenced front yard and loved being able to see us through the glass sliding doors. We really appreciated all of the dog friendly amenities like the sheet that was specifically for the dog, the brush, and treats. The pooper scooper was perfect for picking up after him before we left, too! If you’re looking for a quiet retreat for your family, look no further!
This home was exactly what we needed. The location was perfect, the home was great, the yard was super cute! I couldn't ask for a home more suited for us! Would have loved to had left a note in the guest book but could not find a pen anywhere!!! (Not even in my jeep!)
