This coastal cottage is beautiful and the location was perfect. The host of this property went above and beyond, even helping us coordinate the arrival of our party. I highly recommend this property and host for anyone looking to stay in this area.
Everything was as advertised and exceeded our expectations. Jonathan’s communication was great. The cottage had a great clean beachy smell as soon as you walked in, and the beach decor was very nice! We enjoyed the Polywood furniture on the balcony. The air conditioner was able to keep up with the 95 degree heat with no problem. My wife, son and our dog had the best time in Gulf Shores.
Place was beautiful! Very clean and everything was nice and new. Pool was pretty, a little chilly for us to go in, but lots of others were enjoying it. Close to lots of shops and restaurants and short walk to the beach. We did Pier 33 for quick food and t-shirts. Their breakfast sandwich was amazing! Texts with the owner were promptly answered, he was fantastic! Only downside was that a lot of the sidewalks were under construction and not a lot of green space for the dog. But she was fine and we are super grateful to find such a nice place that allows her to stay! WiFi was a little spotty but all in all fine. Thanks for letting us stay here and bring Dora!
Very nice home. Nicely furnished and decorated. 5 tvs ,very comfortable!!Go and enjoy.

Could not have asked for a better stay - from the host to the property it was perfect.
Jonathan is a top notch host; extremely responsive, able to flex and work around guest’s schedule and needs, and the property was pristine having all the amenities of home.

This was by far the most perfect property for our short vacation. The location could not have been better; it is a short walk to the beach, local restaurants and shopping. It sits back just enough, from the hustle and bustle. It’s quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed our time sitting out on the decks. The pool was nice, clean and not crowded. The property was beautifully decorated; simple, clean and coastal. I loved everything about this property and plan to rent again for our next trip.
Beautiful cottage and great location! We love that we can bring our large fur baby. Had some issues with the bedroom TV but finally my hubby got it working on the last day. When they tell you they only give you a “starter pack” for household items, believe them! The Target down the road was great for stocking up, but it was a little annoying to have to buy our own trash bags…. Not a deal breaker by any means, just something to take care of on your first full day. Otherwise everything was great!
