Peaceful accommodations for the whole family

Peace, laughter, and room to dance in the kitchen/great room. I relaxed on the sun porch for morning coffee. Beach time and pool time as well as a lagoon beach kept our family busy and happy. Sunsets and sunrises on the deck completed a perfect stay. Becky was so helpful answering all my questions. She feelsLike a friend!

Spring Break at the Bay

It was fabulous, plenty of space for the 9 of us. Huge island for food and prep, with plenty of bathrooms. Pretty much whatever you need they have it there for you. Pool was great for the kids especially when the weather wasn’t favorable for the beach. Close walk to the beach, great swings at the bay to take in the breeze and sunset, we would definitely return!!

Great trip!

To start, communication with property manager was great. From check in to check out, they were super informative and responsive. They monitored pool heat temperature closely and let us know when they saw a problem (pool low on water)…let us know what to do and even called pool technician out to inspect. Property is as described and seen on the posting. Kids (and adults) loved the bay beach…tons of little wild life for the kids to observe. Kayaking was a blast…just be wary if it gets windy out. Walk to the beach was a breeze and essentially felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves. Open house concept was awesome for general entertainment. The pool setup is a huge highlight…huge pool, great temperature control during Spring. Rreak time, no complaints. Location is a bit remote (plan for 15-30 minute commute to get to most local restaurants/entertainment)… the property is so peaceful and quiet. Highly recommend this place!

Amazing Getaway

We stayed at the most amazing home. Wonderful quiet neighborhood, beautiful views, close to everything, wonderful owner who communicated frequently, clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, best getaway ever. The only issue is that the pool heater is not heating as well as it should but the owner is aware and working to correct it.

Wonderful home!

We booked this very last minute due to being evacuated from our vacation in Cape San Blas and we were not disappointed!! The pictures depicted the house just as it is! The kitchen and living area were perfect for our 2 families. The pool is the largest we've had with a vacation rental! The owner, Ms. Becky, was very quick to respond and extremely welcoming! Highly recommend this property!

Amazing and Relaxing Vacation

Everything about this vacation home is above expectations. The home is so clean and beautifully decorated, offering plenty of space, amenities, and comfort. The kitchen is huge and has EVERYTHING you could think to need. Bedrooms are just right and the beds are very comfortable. The pool is perfect. Pictures don’t do it justice, because you don’t realize how big it is until you see it for yourself. My absolute favorite is the dock on Little Lagoon where we watched the most beautiful sunsets. There are also kayaks, paddleboards, and a canoe, to explore the lagoon. We did not use these during our stay because I was a little intimidated by the size of the lagoon. A much more experienced and confident kayaker would definitely appreciate these extras! The walk to the beach was short, but made even easier using the wagon on property. We always bring our own beach chairs, but this home has plenty of chairs, towels, and umbrellas for a beach visit. I can’t say enough about the host, Becky. She is so attentive, communicative, and pleasant. She really wants you to feel like you’re home. Becky, thank you so much for sharing this most amazing place with us! This home is definitely on my short list of places I MUST visit again.

Fabulous Vacation

Everyone enjoyed the pool, especially the kids! A short walk to the beach, which this time of year we pretty much had to ourselves. The house was beautiful with plenty of room for our family of 9. One of the best vacations in the books, highly recommend.

Family Spring Break

Spring break in Gulf Shores with the family was made even better staying in this lovely home! Being between the lagoon and the Gulf adds to the beauty! The pool was the main attraction for the kids and Becky was so responsive with any issue or question we had regarding the pool. Kitchen was large and well stocked. We loved the large open living/dining/kitchen area allowing our family to be all together. ❤️

Wonderful Vacation Home

We loved our stay at this property. The host was so easy to communicate with, the kids loved the large (lighted) heated pool, there were lots of pool/beach toys available for us, and lots of space for our large family. It was so nice being on both the lagoon and just across from our private beach on the ocean. We will definitely consider staying here again!

Great, quiet location

Love that the home is situated between two different bodies of water. The owners have a closet full of beach chairs, floats, paddle boards, kayaks, and canoes to use, and this makes it so much more fun! The kitchen and living room space is open, light and airy, and a great gathering space with limitless views of the bay. The pool is large and heated in cooler weather, which we loved and took advantage of. Beds were comfy and plenty of towels and amenities in each bathroom. Would recommend this home!

Great time to unplug, reset, refresh and recover as we head into the last quarter of 2023. Enjoyed the pool and the views. The beach was a short walk across the street. Everything was as advertised. The host thought of everything. Well stocked kitchen and beach toys for kids and adults, even had an ice machine. Bikes and wagon. Would definitely stay again. Quiet end of the beach. Felt like we were the only ones there.

Outstanding Family Stay in Gulf Shores

We visit Gulf Shores every August before the start of the school year, and this is an amazing property from a location and amenities prospective. The access to the beach and lagoon cannot be any better, and you will not find a better pool for the kids. The pictures of the property are spot on, and Becky was great with communicating the checking-time and process. If you have the opportunitiy to book a stay, don’t hesitate to do so.
