Very nice home for travelers with pets as the attached dog run makes life easy. The pool is also very nice and well maintained. I have to give extra kudos to the management team as they were very helpful and responsive to a few minor issues we had with the Internet service. Overall a great place to stay for a vacation, the only thing i would recommend is updating the furniture. It is a bit old and worn out.

Family fall break

We had a wonderful stay here! Location was great - easy walk to the beach. Loved having the pool; we’d swim in the morning before going to the beach and then in the evenings (although a bit chilly since it wasn’t heated; refreshing). Dogs loved it; didn’t have to be on a leash to be outside.

Thankful for the pool

The ocean was closed most of our stay. The high winds kept us away from the sand also. Nothing that the rental company could control, I was very thankful for the pool which is where we spent most of our time.

Alabama Getaway

The beach house is cute as a button. Nicely furnished. The kitchen and deck were highlights for us. The appliances worked well and the island was nice when we had company. Also, the kitchen had anything you could think of as far as tools go. The pool was too cold to use but it’s very pretty and relaxing to lay around. Being a block from the beach was wonderful. The heating and air conditioning worked well.

Boat trip

Great location, nice pool. Bed was super comfortable and good pillows. Although for as much as we paid for a week stay,you would think you would get more than 1 roll of toilet paper and a box of Kleenex! And have more garbage bags.Maybe even a couple more dish towels.Also, more auto dish washing soap.It stated that there was two TVs but, in the master bedroom Tv did not work.Also, in the picture it shows there is an umbrella for out by the pool. There was no umbrella, no shade.!!

Our first beach vacation

We loved our stay!! The house is adorable and was the perfect size. We loved the outdoor space the most... covered porch area was great for playing games, relaxing and spending time together. The pool was bigger than expected and was just wonderful. The only suggestion I would make is to add umbrellas to the outdoor tables and pool bc there's absolutely no shade and an umbrella would have made the area that much more enjoyable. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of towels in the bathrooms. We were only given one trash bag in the kitchen and that was used up by end of 2nd day so we had to order some from grocery. We also ended up running out of toilet paper but I had packed a roll. The TVs worked perfectly until our last day when the master one wouldn't work with the two remotes (it seems that a universal remote is being used but doesn't quite sync up). The location is great, we had a 7 minute walk to the beach. And our dog loved the fenced in area...so perfect!Overall we loved it and will definitely be back!!
