Everything about our stay was perfect! Rental was clean and perfect for my husband and I. Loved that there was a washer/dryer to wash clothes. Area was quiet and downtown Daphne was just a short walk. We just wish we could have stayed longer!

Just what we needed!

The cottage is in a perfect location to explore coastal Alabama. We walked to breakfast each morning then hopped in the car to get to other areas. The cottage was spotless and very comfortable for my husband and I. Parking is a breeze as there are spots right out front. We plan to rent it again next time we visit the area.

Perfect Cottage and Neighborhood

We spent 8 days in what we came to call "our" cottage, exploring the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay. Our favorite part of our visit was being able to walk just a block or two to 5 wonderful restaurants, all independently owned! Part of our adventures was to enjoy the delicious food options and relaxing atmospheres for lunch and dinner. We had a lovely holiday, definitely will return to "our" cottage. We thank our wonderful hosts!

Excellent Host

We had wonderful stay! The cottage was perfectly clean when we checked in and bed was very comfy. There is a fantastic park and great restaurants just around the corner that were wonderful to walk our little one to. Rachel was very accommodating and easy to communicate with! She even went out of her way to arrange someone to meet us back at the cottage after we realized we left something behind after checking out. We will definitely look to stay here on our next visit.

Daphne Visit

Cottage is cute, but there were three of us and it is very small. No where for three people to sit in the living area with any comfort! Bedrooms and closets too small, no where to put your suitcases etc! Rooms just too small and not really comfortable furniture!

Mark is a great host and even called me on the night of my check in to insure that all went well. The house is amazing for the size. There is plenty to do within walking distance if you don't want to drive. I will definitely try to book this the next time I'm in Daphne.
