Perfection
We picked this place for its proximity to both Gulf State Park and the beach, and it did not disappoint. The house was VERY clean and well-appointed. We brought our own bikes and cruised the park, and the beach was a short and convenient walk across the road. Great memories were made! The beautiful views of Gulf State park from the bedrooms, living area, and porch were the cherry on top. Thank you!
