We had an absolutely amazing stay. The cottage was spotless when we checked in. It was equipped with everything we needed for our stay, and the host Nicki was extremely communicative when I had a few questions. The location was beautiful— gorgeous sunsets that we loved watching from the dock, surrounded by birds. We brought our kayak and it was so easy to launch right from the edge of the property. We would definitely stay there again.

We're so glad to hear your had a great stay and enjoyed the cottage and sunsets! It was a pleasure to host you!
This is a fantastic property (new and clean) in an excellent location. I would have liked to have a little more room in places (bathroom vanity, around the beds) but otherwise a GREAT place to stay.
The house was very comfortable and very clean. We had no need to contact the owner although they made themselves available. We truly enjoyed every moment of it and would love to stay here again.
We’ve been vacationing in GulfShores/Orange Beach/Florida panhandle for years.This was one of the best overall and cleanest properties that we’ve been too.Nicki is the best host by far that I’ve encountered from start to finish!We will return!

We had an amazing experience at this property. So relaxing. My husband & I enjoyed fishing off the dock each day, gorgeous sunrises & sunsets, pelicans, & dolphins too. Just what we were looking for, a perfect getaway for days of relaxation & rejuvenation. Thanks for sharing your home with us and making the process so easy,
