We had an absolutely amazing stay. The cottage was spotless when we checked in. It was equipped with everything we needed for our stay, and the host Nicki was extremely communicative when I had a few questions. The location was beautiful— gorgeous sunsets that we loved watching from the dock, surrounded by birds. We brought our kayak and it was so easy to launch right from the edge of the property. We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful small house which underwent a FULL remodel not long ago. Well stocked kitchen ready to cook in, amazing view of the bay, comfortable beds and furniture. Really convenient to beaches, the inter-island ferry and a couple of great places to eat. Far enough outside of Gulf Shores proper to avoid the crowds, close enough to go into town for what you need.

I had a great stay at this Vrbo. After a recent car accident on I65 (along with some family/business issues), I needed a little hiatus from the day-to-day grind of everyday life. If you're looking to get away from the overcrowded areas further east ("cough 30a cough"), I'd highly recommend this place as an option to achieve such goals. I've seen few people, many dolphins/fish/birds, and not a single person I didn't like. This is a hidden gem...come see for yourself!
