Relaxing Holiday

We were 3 couples enjoying a 4 night stay in March. The house is beautiful with fabulous views of the ocean, large open spaces and a king bed and private bath for each couple. The house is in a quiet area and easy driving distance to Gulf Shores and the Dauphin Island Ferry. Gorgeous beaches and a wildlife preserve nearby for walking and birding. We watched lots of dolphins swimming each morning while eating breakfast. Relaxing upper and lower decks face the ocean. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, clean and airy. Plenty of games, books and DVDs on site for guests to enjoy. Reasonably priced for the location. We were thrilled with our stay. Perfect for medium to large groups.

Awesome

Everyone was pleased with our stay, the short walk to the beach was fantastic. The house gave us room to gather or seek some privacy. The kitchen was well equipped, and the washer and dryer was a huge plus. The only thing lacking was a lift for getting luggage etc. up the steps, thanks to our grandkids it worked for us, but may not work for others. Overall wonderful trip and beach house.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Wilbanks 901-438-1107

We have been making beach trips together since 1988. We have been to many beaches of Florida and Alabama but after bringing our family to this area for years, we finally decided we wanted to own a little slice of heaven too. We have taken notes on what we enjoyed most about all the other rentals we stayed in and are striving to make this a well equipped house that showcases all the fun a family can have here.
This isn't just a rental, this is our second home and we spend a lot of time here so we are looking for families that will be respectful and treat it well.

Why they chose this property

We love Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan and feel comfortable here. We always dreamed of having our own place and knew there were certain amenities we wanted in a beach house to accommodate how we "beach". We fell in love with this house immediately. We looked at quite a few over the course of a full year before choosing this home. We travel with my husbands brother and his family every year so finding a house that had space for all of us was important. It didn't have to be huge, it just needed to be "family friendly" because our kids are now giving us grandkids! We wanted an entertaining space that the whole family could hang out and this open concept living/dining/kitchen was a start. But honestly it was when we stepped on the deck that is under the house that really cinched the deal. It is a large entertaining space with fantastic views, picnic tables, chairs, grill, outdoor shower and shade. We can play corn hole here, listen to music, dance and have dinner while listening to the waves. The kitchen is large enough for all of us to gather and make our special dinners that we do and seating for all of us, too!

What makes this property unique

With 5 bedrooms there is space for a good group. Each room has either a king or queen bed and there isn't a "bunk room" but there is a bunk in one of the queen rooms. We opted to not have fold out couches because really who wants to sleep on one of those?! 3.5 bathroom plus an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water means that getting ready to go out is a breeze. There is an ice maker so you never run out of ice for all those beachy beverages. We stocked the kitchen with crockpots, blenders, coffee makers, food processor, toaster, dishes and cookware for whatever you need. We have a storage room with a few beach chairs and toys that you welcome to use, just please return them. Leave something if you don't want to carry it back home so that next renter can enjoy it. There is a Weber grill, Please be careful of the coals. There are many games and puzzles in the living room cabinet. We have provided sofa covers in the bottom drawer of the TV entertainment center...if you are like some of our group, and you know you are likely to spill...feel free to use the covers!
