Quiet getaway

We enjoyed a quiet time again at the cozy cottage. Cheryl was very attentive to our needs since it was very cold and ended up getting snow!! Not what we expected on our trip to the gulf, but it was a trip we will not soon forget!

The out side doesn’t do the inside justice. Rooms stayed very cold, no issue here, everything worked properly. The view out the back door was beautiful in the mornings.

Relaxing, Quiet, Simple

Beautiful area. It was a nice pleasant place to stay and to be away from the tourist environment. We recommend Johnson's Beach. Very clean beach and less people. Wolf's Bay Restaurant in Foley was wonderful. Fisherman's Corner is great as well.

Escape From the Business

This is a little home with all you need, nestled in a quiet neighborhood, waiting to help you relax. The water is in your backyard with the pelicans perched on their posts and the loons dipping under the waters catching their meals. If you need a get-away this is your place!

Quiet and safe

Not "on the water". You have to walk between the property that is actually on the water and an empty lot. The neighborhood was quiet and definitely felt safe. There was no washing machine and dryer as advertised.
