House offered everything we were looking for. Very well maintained, clean, neat, well stocked, comfortable, great beach and ocean views. etc. And we loved the location—just a few steps to the beach. We prefer a non crowded location and this is it! We hope to come back here on our next beach vacation. BTW Gail (owner) is a really good communicator and responds quickly to any question or request. My review is a solid 10.

What an amazing property! The house sits closer to the beach than those around it so there are unobstructed views and it feels like you have your own private beach! The room with a queen bed and bunk beds was perfect for us because our young children want to sleep in the same room when we travel. The beach is quiet and the perfect spot for kids to have as much room as they want. This is a great option for families with young children (my 3 children are ages 5 and younger). The house itself has been nicely renovated and very cozy.

Wow! What a home and a view!

We loved this house! It was perfect for our family. The views from the home and deck were amazing! We loved sitting under the pergola and enjoying the ocean view. House was clean and had everything we needed. Host was fantastic to communicate with. We were even lucky enough to see sea turtles hatch from their nest and make their way into the ocean. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Wow, beautiful and incredible beach house. My husband and I loved our stay at this fantastic place. The house is really close to the beach and has unobstructed gulf views from the neighboring houses. There are large beach facing windows with plentiful sitting areas in the kitchen, living room and on the outside deck to view the beauty of the area and relax to the sounds of the surf. We especially loved the sunrises and sunsets. The beach area was flat for easy walking or playing in the sand. There’s also a separate lower area with a bean bag toss game, hanging swing, picnic table and a grill for a more lively time. The kitchen is stocked well for cooking as well as the darling beach decor place settings. The beds are comfortable, the bedding is nice and there’s plenty of bedside lighting. The entire place is nicely updated and comfortable. Remember to shop for supplies on your way to the beach if you don’t intend to drive into the business districts. Personally, we enjoyed the few drives when exploring Orange Beach, Florabama and the numerous quaint shops. It wasn’t a long drive plus there are wonderful views of the bay, lagoon, beach house and sand dunes along the way. We didn’t experience any problems during our stay. Everything is so well taken care of. The host was very, very welcoming and communicated the check in/check out process without issues. My husband and I will return only next time we hope it’s to stay much longer!
