Quiet Thanksgiving weekend

What a wonderful out of the way place to be. We enjoyed our stay at Bon Bay House. We love this area of “Gulf Shores”. It’s away from all the traffic and noise but a 10 minute drive can have you at a restaurant or store. The house was perfect for us. It was neat and clean. Not cluttered with decor. Plenty of storage in the kitchen for food items..which is not always the case at some rentals. The kitchen had all the utensils, pots, pans and serving pieces we needed to cook a Thanksgiving meal! The furniture and beds were comfortable. The view was relaxing and pretty. We will definitely stay here again.

Calm and Beautiful!

Our family had a great week on Oyster Island. We fished, biked and used the kayaks plus enjoyed the fire pit. Great location to get to all our favorite restaurants like Tin Top and Doc's. We saw dolphins every day! The house was great and stocked with all the essentials. Great place for a relaxing vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Tracey McAlister

My husband and I have been coming to Gulf Shores for the last 35 years. WE love the area of Plash Island on the Bon Secour River and Bay. When this duplex became available on the water, we jumped at the chance to purchase it. Our desire is to share the love of this area with others.

Why they chose this property

This property is a hidden gem. Close to everything without being in the crowds and traffic. Being located on the water, it provides the opportunity to do all types of water sports and fish. It such an added delight to be able to watch the dolphins off the porch. You can see the most beautiful sunrises. The duplex offers plenty of space for a family or couples.
