The property was in a great place. Very relaxing quite retreat but in close proximity of everything. It is the best of both worlds. My wife and i loved it!
Lots of space to allow group to have meals, play games, or sit and talk. Beautiful location away from the crowds of the beach. Kitchen was well stocked. Home was very clean. Would definitely stay there again.
The house was perfect for our stay. It has amazing views off the back porch to watch the wildlife and was spacious inside. The pool table in the game room kept our kids busy while we visited in the living room.
The house was also just a quick drive from the beach…maybe 15 minutes or so.
Such a beautiful cozy home next to the river. We came here for softball and our whole experience has been wonderful!! We enjoyed every evening out on the deck and some fishing. Not far from the ball parks was a plus!! Thank you for providing a safe and clean home!
It was the perfect spot for those with small children that like to fish. The host was very punctual with responses. Very spaces and quiet. Honestly would have been a 5 star review; however the beds were extremely uncomfortable, so if you have back or hip issues this may not be the spot for you, but overall we were very satisfied and had a great time!!!
We traveled with six adults and two kids. It was enough space for everyone! The house was convenient to all of the local shopping and eateries. It was a very short commute to the beach! The owners were very accommodating! We will definitely rent the house again! Excellent View of the Bon Secour River! Bring your fishing rod!
Perfect place to relax after a day at the ballpark. Away from the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores beach but still close enough to spend the day. House is as described although the kitchen has been updated and is stocked with everything you will need. Enjoyed having access to the river to fish and watch the wildlife and a very quiet neighborhood. If you want to stay away from the crowds, Fort Morgan beach is where to be and we highly recommend the Tin Top for a laid back lunch or dinner on the river. If you have time, book a chapter with Off The Hook charters, Captin Cliff was awesome and made it his goal to make sure the kids had fun!
The property is great for families. There is plenty of room to spread out. Not far from the hustle of Gulf Shores, but far enough to have quiet. The host was great. Will definitely stay again!
We had a great time at this property. Plenty of room for all 9 of us! My husband and son went fishing in the river and caught a few fish. We all enjoyed playing pool and going to the beach. Mary Anne met us at the property and to let us in and answer any questions we might had. She was very sweet and accommodating, and went out of her way to help us find some things we misplaced. The house was very comfortable, GREAT price, great air conditioning ! We’ll be back!
This is an older home but very comfy. We had a lot of fun here and in this area. Electricity went out for an unknown reason, we called the manager and she reported it to the electric company and it was back on quickly. Loved our stay here.
The house was very nice and met all our needs for a great fishing trip. The host is great and very nice. Hopefully our next trip will be as good as the first. Highly recommend this location for all your fishing needs. Toney ( Fish The Planet Recon Team)
