Perfect getaway and even better location !!

This was by far the best stay . We have stayed at high end condos and other homes but this tops them all. Secluded and right on the water just steps away. Great neighbors also that are locals year round . Five stars !!!

Gorgeous Sunsets on the Lagoon

This was the perfect size home for the two of us! The accommodations were clean and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the nice deck overlooking the Lagoon and watching the gorgeous sunsets in the evenings. Very peaceful!

Private and cozy

Loved this little house on the lagoon. It sits right on the water with a very easy walk to a private beach area. House was clean, bed was comfortable, hot showers, and cold AC. I will definitely be back.

Lots of Birds, Peace and solitude on the little lagoon. Easy walk to West Beach, Gulf Shores, AL

Lots to f birds to watch, fish jumping and peace and solitude by the little lagoon. We saw great blue herons, an osprey, and a hawk. Along with smaller wading shorebirds. Also, lots of hermit crabs along the lagoon shores. Also a very walk to the Gulf Coast beach.

Nice, clean, & quiet

We like the location- on the lagoon & not far from the gulf. Was very clean just needs some minor maintenance done. If done, would give it 5 stars.

Small cozy house. Very close to everything. Needs some updates and a few essentials to make it a very comfortable stay. We long watching the sunsets over the lagoon from this house. We will be back if it's still standing next year.

Came in after dark. No address on house and no lights on. Light on deck where keypad was at was actually tore off the wall. We used lights on phone to be able to get in. Once in everything was clean and nice.

Location!!

First, we loved the location. The bay side is SO quiet and tranquil. The walk to the beach side was quick and easy. We had everything we needed, but the building needs some tender loving care. There was a lot of water underneath, so we couldn't use that part. When it rains, the walk to your car is gushy. Loved the privacy and view from the porch. It would be nice if part or all of the porch was covered to help keep things dry when it rains. The shower head is SO short you have to bend down to rinse off. They could use a new bed. Overall we enjoyed our stay and it's hard to beat this location!!

That view!! 😍 💫🎉

My husband and I usually stay where there’s an ocean view but mixed it up with this location and it didn’t disappoint. The sunsets were breathtaking!! We played in the lagoon, enjoyed the seagulls, cranes, owls and various birds, the boats, jet skis & kayaks going by. We listened to music on the deck and danced under the stars. 💫 Very comfy seating on the deck and underneath the home. Short walk to the public beach that’s just a few blocks away where we went to enjoy the sunrises. ☀️ The only downside is the blinds above the bed needs dusted (badly) and there needs to be more towels and wash cloths in the cottage. Nobody has time to do laundry everyday. We are definitely planning on coming back someday.

Beautiful area and perfect view!

No Frills Such a cute little place with perfect views and area to swim right on the lagoon! Would be really cramped with 4 adults. Perfect for 2 adults and maybe suitable for 2 adults with a couple of smaller children. Internet is terrible! Television continued to show “No internet connection. Check home internet connection” so, no internet/Wi-Fi the entire stay. No help from 800 # and messages to host! We had decent weather. If you love to grill outdoors there is not a nice grill. There is a tiny little (maybe 12”) charcoal grill that sits about 4” from ground. Might as well just cook instead and get meal done a lot faster. No coffee pot that uses pods, only a coffee pot that uses paper filters. So plan on taking your own keurig type coffee maker or buy ground coffee and paper filters. Other than that, the place was clean and king bed was pretty comfortable.

Cute beach shack

Lovely location, great rate. 2 big issues I wish I had known 1. Sleeping areas horrible , king mattress like a piece of sandwich bread, I slept on the floor. Sofa sleeper is about 20 years old just don’t pull it out. Had my daughter sleep on it as a couch since the mattress springs kept popping through. 2. There is NO internet company prepays for it, not through a normal company and it was not on. Both myself and my daughter had school work, my mom is stage 4 cancer, I am from Gulf shores and came down for her, this was not a pleasure trip but an emergency trip. We needed internet and although listing said they have it… they don’t. If I had known, just for that reason alone I would have booked elsewhere. Absolutely LOVE the location if it was for a pleasure trip and I didn’t need sleep or the internet I would have rated it a 10 of 10. Please replace the mattresses and make sure internet is paid prior to renting and I would totally stay again next time I needed to visit home.
