The property was exactly as described-easy to access, private, and in a safe, quiet area. The unit was spotless and stocked with hotel-level amenities, including quality linens, toiletries, and thoughtful touches that made the stay comfortable. Check-in was simple, communication was clear, and the space worked perfectly for a relaxing, hassle-free visit. Would stay again.

Quick Weekend Getaway

This is a great place to stay! The description and pictures are spot on. We really enjoyed being on the bay and access to the pier for sunset-watching. And the sunsets are amazing across Mobile Bay.

Weekend

This is a perfect spot for a weekend getaway for one or two people. I wanted to watch the waters of Mobile Bay and relax to celebrate my birthday. I achieved my goal. The highlight of my visit was watching the playful antics of a pod of dolphins at the end of the property's pier. The room itself was clean and comfortably furnished. Check-in and check-out were simple and quick. The hosts were accommodating, mailing me an item I left by mistake. I will make an effort to stay here again.

Clean, easy access, great location with beautiful private dock. The room is small but very clean, quaint and quiet. It’s a great place to stay if you enjoy the area would be comfortable with having one bed with a shower and bathroom in the same room like an open ceiling stall or out house.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The studio was small and cheaply done. Misleading as the property description states it has a kitchen. In reality it has a small/ loud refrigerator, small microwave and even smaller toaster oven. Oh and a coffee maker. No actual pots/ pans/ dishes/ metal flatware/ etc. The area is nice and would have gotten a much better review if it weren't for the fraudulent practice of there's rules you must sign that you won't see until IT'S TOO LATE FOR A REFUND. They don't want you to have alcohol or kids on their dock while you've surrounded by several adjacent docks full of children and grownups having adult beverages.
