This is absolutely the best property to stay with the beach basically at your front door. I love not having to go up and down stairs to the private pool this place also offers. There are several eateries within a 5 mile radius. It’s a beautifully quiet end of the beach. This house has everything you could possibly need for a great vacation.

Family Friendly Beach House!

We had a wonderful stay at this house! The owner was incredibly friendly and quick to respond when we had a minor issue — it was resolved right away, which we really appreciated. The house itself was spotless and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is fantastic — just a short walk to the beach — and the views from the front porch were absolutely beautiful. Enjoying our morning coffee while looking out over the scenery was a highlight of the trip. Highly recommend!

The house was perfect front covered deck or back pool deck the ocean was in full view, just beautiful. Had great communication with the host Mick he was absolutely wonderful. House was clean well organized, with all the necessities in the kitchen, just perfect. Away from the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores with a short drive if you want to look things over. Close to the ferry we took that across and went and explored Fort Gaines on Dauphin Island. The whole vacation was 10/10. We will be back.

Thank you Mick and Kim for an awesome stay. Everything from start to finish was easy. your house is very comfortable, homey, clean and we could not have found a better location. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch having morning coffee, watching the sun come up, and meeting all the great neighbors walking by with a friendly good morning. The pool was amazing. Very clean, and warm. We would highly recommend staying here. Thank you again for a great vacation.
