We had an amazing stay. Loved the location and how close the beach access is, and how close Sassy Bass is! We brought our dog and loved sitting on the porch with her and taking her to the beach! A gate at the porch would really take this pet friendly place to the next level. Overall we loved it and will be back!!

S S Minnow

The Minnow isn’t fancy, but it is cute, cozy, and very clean! The beds were comfortable and everything in the house was in working order. We spent almost as much time on the upstairs balcony as we did on the beach. The location is a great one if you enjoy peace and quiet. We will rent the S S Minnow again.

Uss minnow.

Location was good, close to the beach, although the weather wasn’t that good for us to get some sun. Much cooler and windier than last year. The home could use some maintenance, screens ripped, paint chipping off cabinet one of the sliding doors hard to lock. Tv needs to have instructions on which controls to use. There were 3 and only needed 2. Blinds were broken. With this being said we enjoyed our stay, not sure if we are coming back to gulf shore, maybe try someplace new. Thank you.

Peaceful Retreat

This little cottage is one row off the beach, but still has a good view. Air blew cold the entire week. Beds were comfy. Location was peaceful with easy access to the beach (about a block's walk). Kitchen had basic essentials with a working electric oven, dishwasher, cold fridge. Shower has good water pressure. Washer/dryer worked nicely with a convenient downstairs bathroom with utility sink. Outdoor water hose as well. Easy access to the Sassy Bass store and restaurant (just across the back yard). We would definitely stay here again. I might suggest an in-sink disposal and an upstairs deck awning/roof, but those would be our only thoughts.

An adorable little house with the perfect porch for morning coffee, walks down the beach and getting away from it all. The house is clean with plenty of cooking supplies to cook at home, a small grocery 5 min walk for forgotten ingredients. Washer and dryer are a huge bonus with a downstairs shower for super sandy days. We will be back it met all of our needs to get away and relax!
