Pretty close to perfect.
Beautifully decorated and well furnished. Beds were very comfortable. Everything you needed for a family stay was at the property. Best cookware ever in a rental. Short walk to the beach with beautiful sunsets.
Wonderful place to stay! Great location - quiet and peaceful. Having beach toys already there and a place to rinse off outside was ideal! Cheryle was quick to respond and helpful. It was just what we were looking for!
We stayed at this property for spring break. It's location to the beach is perfect! The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. The property owner is very professional and responsive. Would recommend this property.
It was very very close to the beach. Love the location and the vibrant color of the house. Everything was there and more. Will definitely stay at that house again. Curtis family
Nice Beach House with great space underneath. Quiet beach dog friendly 200 yards away.
Make sure to bring your groceries as the convenience store in Fort Morgan is expensive.

Seven Winters with Cheryle
We have spent seven Winters renting from Cheryle. She is a very attentive landlord and always addresses any issues promptly. Our returning every year reflects what a good landlord and person she is.
Throughly enjoyed our stay. The property was even better than the write up. Very clean and very well stocked. Even included some essentials to get you started if you forgot them. Location was great. Short walk to the beach and walkable streets to take our pups out. Would definitely return.
Great place short walk to beach. We just had to listen to construction but it has to be done. Clean and pretty, outdoor furniture not made for short people. (Lol) after construction workers left it was nice and quiet

This property is top notch. It is very modern and updated. Everything is very convenient. The walk to the beach takes less time than staying in a condo directly on the beach, waiting on an elevator and walking out to the beach. The front deck and back deck are both very peaceful and serve a different purpose depending on what your mood is. The beds are very comfortable. Everything was fully stocked, more than I could have asked for. The parking and set-up under the house are very original, and convenient. The storage shed includes just about everything needed for the beach; chairs, floaties, boogie boards, a wagon, even life jackets. There’s a shower and hose to spray off with below the house which is VERY convenient and saves so much hassle as far as cleaning up sand. There’s a swing and picnic area under the house as well that is very peaceful, shady and breezy and perfect for entertaining. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with.

Beautiful and cozy home
Second stay in this home. We were there last summer and came back. Many updates had been done to home and looks amazing. Very short walk to beach. Love that they are pet friendly because we are able to bring our furry children as well. We brought our dogs own crate and this year there was an addition of an end table/dog crate, love it! Host is always responsive and does so quickly. Home is clean and bright. Would recommend to anyone. Only suggestion is to have everything you may think you need with you. We didn't have any dishwashing soap, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent this time. There is a Dollar General just a few miles up that seems to have everything and we were able to purchase some there. I did let host know this when checking out since there was last year, so I think oversight on part of cleaning crew. Need basics for kitchen too such as Salt/Pepper, napkins, paper towels. We also bring extra TP, depending on family size and such, you may need additional then what was supplied, as we did. Mentioning these things as I like to know ahead to be prepared and have with us. They have several things available for Ocean Play also. A wonderful place to stay for an amazing family vacation!
Beautiful spacious home. Had a few minor things come up but were easy fixes. communication with the host was excellent! Definitely would recommend and stay here again.
My wife and I booked this for a week and took our computers and our fur babies. It was a working vacation. PERFECT location. Quiet. CLEAN. So close to the pet-friendly beach. Take a look at this is you don't want the crowds.
Our stay was great! Everything was clean, well stocked, everything worked and we were just steps from the beach! Cheryle was very responsive and answered any questions we had quickly. Would absolutely stay here again. If I had to choose one thing it would be for the property to have a beach cart. Some of the other places we stay provide a beach cart for guests to use. Makes things so much easier and it's the cherry on top of the cake! Still a 10/10 stay regardless!
We enjoyed our stay! Easy beach access and the home provided us with everything we needed!

About the host
Hosted by Cheryle/Owner
We have been coming to the Gulf Shores area for over three decades. Our family, which includes two boys and a granddaughter, all share a deep love for the beach and fishing. It has long been our dream to own a home in this beautiful coastal region. In 2009, we fulfilled that dream by purchasing our first vacation property. Since then, we've expanded our portfolio, now owning a total of four rental homes, with two located near our initial purchase and one situated directly on the bay. We also maintain a personal residence just a few miles from our beach houses. Given that our primary home is only about a 4-hour drive away, we're able to visit the area frequently and look forward to sharing this cherished coastal haven with others.
Why they chose this property
We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation stay in the neighborhood across the street, and decided this was the perfect location for our vacation home. In 2009, we purchased our first property here which is directly next door. Then in 2015, we designed and built a this home. In 2022, we purchased and completely remodeled a bay front home. And most recently, in 2023, we designed and built aanother home just a few houses away from this one. We look forward to one day retiring and making this area our permanent home.
What makes this property unique
This home offers three bedrooms and 2 baths, making it ideal for families. It's conveniently located, with a short walk to the beach and a short drive to golf courses and the public boat dock. The nearby OWA amusement park is just 30 minutes away. Situated on a quiet street, the home is pet-friendly, with pets allowed on the beach when leashed. The house is completely carpetless and non-smoking, providing a clean and comfortable environment. The open lots in the backyard offer great views. Additionally, the owners have three more homes available and offer discounts to repeat renters and those booking multiple properties.
