Unit was super clean, like you could eat off the floors...not a speck of dirt anywhere. We were close to Fairhope, but out of the hustle and bustle. Very quiet and peaceful setting and property. The only thing I would change is a mattress. We are use to memory foam, and it was hard to sleep on the bed for us. Couch and recliner slept great though.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Mar 2026
Sorry you had to find a problem with the mattress; no one else has reported discomfort with it. In fact most guests are appreciative of the hospitality and amenities I provide. As I recall, your husband stated you were not happy with the well known 5 star restaurant you dined at either. I will continue to make my guests as comfortable as I can. Thank you for your stay, and have a wonderful Easter.
