Rural Alabama get away

This VRBO was wonderful! It was so clean, and i am super picky. It was one of the most, if not the most serene/peacful places i have ever stayed. It's a little out of the wat, but that's the point. I would recommend this place to anyone, especially one who is looking for a restful, peaceful escape. The only suggestion I would give, and this isnt to the Host, just grab whatever groceries you think you are going to want/need on the way. It's a bit of a drive to a grocery store if you check in first if you have had a long drive.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Blakely

My wife (Anita) and I recently retired and have started offering our water properties for vacation rentals. This provides us with some additional requirement income and also the opportunity to meet some wonderful people. We started with a house on Sugar Creek that we had owned for several years and rented it when our family was not using the property. Then we purchased a small fishing cabin from some friends just down the street and remodeled it for vacation rental. We purchased this property in 2018, that sits next door to our original house.

Why they chose this property

This house is a very comfortable house on a quiet street and a quiet stretch of water.

In addition to the swimming, kayaking and fishing, there are various birds, including Egrets, Herrings, Bald Eagles and various kinds of ducks.
