We loved this little getaway! It was close enough to everything we wanted to do yet far enough away to get some peace and quiet. The fenced in yard was amazing for my little dogs. It was very clean and included everything we needed for our stay. The hosts were great communicators! We would for sure stay here again!!

This adorable little home is just off the beaten where you can be at the beach in 10 minutes but feel like your arent surrounded by tourists. It is a quiet location where you can rejuvenate after a busy day. The home was very clean and comfortable. Lots of small creature comforts provided by the hosts. Best thing is that I can bring my furry friend and he has a yard to go out in to. Robin was bery responsive and very easy to work with. We look forward to our next stay in the tiny, pink house.

The house was clean and there were plenty of cookware to comfortably make what we needed to. The cookware was really good quality too. It's not too far from the beach so you get a nice quiet home while still being close enough to the beach and all of the good eateries. It was pet friendly and the host was great about working with us regarding the pets and anything else we needed. Would definitely recommend for a couple to have a nice retreat.

We loved the fact that the home was dog friendly and had a fenced yard for them to go outside and enjoy themselves without us having to stay with them on a leash. Also, the house was very well appointed and had quality appliances, cooking utensils, etc.

Robins was a wonderful host. They made sure we felt welcome before we even arrived. The Castaway was in a quiet and convenient location. We were not far from anything we wanted to do. The fenced in yard was perfect for our pups. It was well maintained with enough space for them to run. Robin has thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. The Castaway was the cutest tiny home ever! Big enough for my husband our two pups and myself to move comfortably about without tripping over each other. It was clean, tidy and homely. We hope to be able to stay again soon.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Castaway Tiny Home in Bon Secour. The flowers and welcome basket were a nice surprise when we arrived. The house is decorated in a beach theme and was fun! Our dog enjoyed the fenced in back yard. We would definitely recommend this house to anyone visiting the area.

We booked here for a volleyball tournament at the event center. It was perfect, about 15 minutes away. I like being able to have a washer/dryer and park and be in my room within seconds. So much better than a hotel and plenty of room for our family of 4. The foldaway bed is actually a full bed. The host Robin was wonderful. I wish we had had more time to explore the area, we would stay here again for sure!

Wonderful little cottage!

We came into town for a weekend soccer tournament, and we wanted some place that we could bring our two dogs. This place was perfect! Robin was very communicative, and the check in process was super easy. We loved the personal welcome note, basket of snacks, and fresh flowers!! Such a quaint little home. The fenced back yard was perfect! If we come back into town this will certainly be the place we stay!

Amazing Property!

We loved our stay here! The house was super clean and quiet. The host, Robin, is amazing. We had an issue getting into the house initially (our door code didn't work), and before I could contact her, she had already remotely unlocked the door to let us in, and called me so we could resolve the problem! There were lots of little touches that made this a great place to stay: fresh flowers on the table, dog treats for our dog, snacks for us, and even extra toiletries in case we forgot something. This house is about 15-20 minutes away from the beach - close to everything, but far enough away where it was super quiet and relaxing. I would definitely stay here again!!

Unforgettable experience!!

Highly recommend this amazing little home!! It was spotless, had everything we could possibly need! Eric & Robin were very easy to reach for anything we had questions about and so very nice!!! It was easy to check in and out. There was plenty to do close to the home but you are out of the noisy places. They even personalized our stay with a welcome sign for us and our pups along with treats for them. I will definitely be recommending to friends and we will most definitely be going back. Such a beautiful part of the world. I also forgot my makeup bag and my straightener and they are sending it to me Monday. Such great people to rent from. Check them out!!
