We can't say enough about our stay. Paul was the best host I have ever worked with on VRBO. He hustled to get us in early knowing we were driving down from Wisconsin without it even being requested. He took care of any issues that came up quickly, a few times before we even noticed. Paul was responsive and just a pleasure to work with.The house itself was amazing, it was so quiet and the view is amazing. The outside seating provided was comfortable and allowed everyone to spread out. The pool table and pool were big hits for our family. Spring break with a heated pool was a must and the kids never left the pool unless they were forced to. The small beach in front of the house was great, it allowed the kids to get in the water and change things up a bit.If you are looking for a quiet location away from the business of Gulf Shores this one is for you.

The pool was really nice and having the kayaks and paddle board was a plus. We played lots of cornhole as well. House was so well updated and clean we enjoyed our stay and would certainly come back. It was also nice having the beach just a short drive down the road. A beach that was not busy or packed with people. Our teenage boys loved the pool table. Kitchen was well stocked with spices, plates and cups. Plenty of pool towels. Great hosts that were in constant communication with us.
