Spring Break Family Trip

The Reel Retreat Cottage was the perfect get away for our family of 6. Our kids fished from the dock, swam and played on the beach and had the best time. The cottage was awesome and we only wished we had been able to stay longer. We would certainly stay here again in the future.

Relaxing stay

The condo is beautiful and has pretty much anything you need. The views from the deck are amazing and my husband and I enjoyed spending each morning out there. The walk to the beach is short and easy. Great location.

Our little family had the best time at Reel Retreat! The place is so spacious yet so cozy! The unit location was perfect for us! A quick walk to the pool, the beach or the dock where we loved watching the sunset! We would love to stay here again!

Checks all boxes !

Stayed in this area/row of houses multiple times but overall this house is our favorite. Back deck over looking the bay/lagoon is absolutely amazing! Less than 100 yards to the beach, private dock and all the amenities a person needs. Can’t wait to go back!

Beach ball

We loved our stay! The condo was amazing and the location was perfect! The beach access is right across the street which was super convenient. Staying in the end unit allowed for the perfect views of the sunset and sunrise. The only down part was having the bunk beds right next to the stairs and not having a gate for our smaller kids.

Beach Ball Reel Retreat

It is absolutely beautiful and location is perfect. Our boys loved the Bay fishing and we could watch from the balcony. We will be back next year. The only thing that could change is more kitchen cookware(maybe nonstick-pans).

Great Stay!

This house is in the perfect area and less busy! The lagoon was amazing for the kids especially when the ocean was too rough to swim. Downside to pool is that it's cold and covered by sun most of day because of the high rises on both sides. Beach access is directly across the street. The house was the perfect setup and kids all loved the bunk beds. Our downs would be that we got locked out coming back late one night and they said our code expired. We also got hassled by a real estate agent that approached our young children and tried to pay us to have people walk through the unit since it's for sale. Besides that we would love to come back!

This property met all our needs on our recent Gulf Shores vacation. Super clean, great location, easy access to the Beach(2-3 min walk) and we really enjoyed the evenings on the balcony and the dock in the lagoon. We had no problems with communication from Beachball properties on entering the property or the rules for check in or out. We appreciated there was just a short list of rules(basic things that make sense) we have stayed other places with way to many things asked of the people staying for vacation). As an fyi for other people considering renting there is a storage area under the property that does have some basic beach things like chairs, sand toys ect but you will need other things like umbrella(s) for example. There were 2 boogey boards there but they were broken but we had purchased one beforehand and did not have room to take it home so we left that in the storage for other renters(hopefully someone else can use it!) We would book the property again in a heartbeat as it met our needs and was exactly as described. A for this property and experience

Absolutely amazing beach spot!

We will be back! We had an absolutely amazing stay! The location is perfect! Great access to the beach, the bay, shopping and dining. The pool was great. The Ac worked well. There is a shower outside to clean off after the beach. I really give this stay 5 stars! I could recommended that the owner add a small high chair or booster seat for use while vacationing. We had to go buy one. We also bought a rug to clean feet when entering the stairs inside to clean sand off feet. The grill was missing and there was only a lid. We tried to text the number left on the card on the counter but never got a response. I would recommend adding a grill as we expected to grill food and weren’t able to. It would also be nice to have a couple beach items available for use so we didn’t have to pack so many chairs and things but would still visit again without those items. Cleanliness was acceptable but not great. Sand on floors on arrival and I was able to clean some spots from the dining rug that were there on our arrival. Wi-Fi worked a little more than half the time but it was storming off and on so idk if that was part of it. We weren’t too bothered by it because we had plenty to do without internet and Tv. Would 100% recommend and my comments are only food for thought. We would love to come back and will remember little lagoon reel retreat in the future! Thanks for a great stay! :)
