Wonderful location for quiet real relaxing. Far from the noose and crowds in Gulf Shores but near enough to go “into town” for supplies and tourist stuff when wanted. Not “on” the beach but from the top deck we could see our kids and coolers out there when we walked back up to the house for sandwiches. The house is beatiful and everything designed and laid out well for comfort and convenience. Perfectly furnished for our group of 8 with seating and tables everywhere we wanted to hangout. Everything in the house worked well from the a/c to the shower to the keurig machine. The views of the gulf and the bay, water on both sides, and vacant lots/space on all sides made it feel fairly private even with other houses around. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking most of our meals all week. The shed had everything we needed for the beach except our tent and coolers. A cart with balloon tires like in the picture would have been nice but there was more than to be expected by far, especially toys for the kids. Our brother-in-law paid twice as much gor a larger, grander house a few blocks away, “on” the beach and it was ugly and poorly stocked and uncomfortable by comparison. Thank you for sharing your beautiful beach house with us. My wife and I, our three daughters, 9, 12, 16, and three of their friends, all had a great week there, would come back again to stay at this same house, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a family getaway or chilled adult retreat.
