The Shed is a slice of paradise. Clean, quiet, nestled in the forest of south Alabama on the Fowl River. Good people, good place, good times. I would recommend to anyone.

Cute, Quiet, and Close to the Beach!

Such a quaint little cabin that felt remote yet close to the beaches. It was only about a 15 minute drive to Dauphin Island Beach. The country setting was so tranquil. We really enjoyed our stay!

Our Favorite Getaway

The Shed is a charming hidden gem located on Fowl River. It is a short drive to Dauphin Island. Patricia was warm and welcoming as always. Don't forget to buy some fresh seafood from the Zirlott's before you leave.

Excellent 2 day stay!

Close to Daulphin Island, Bayou La Batre, and other destinations along the Alabama & Miss coastal areas. And excellent seafood locations and eating places. Quiet, peaceful and a beautiful place away from the congested places. Really enjoyed and highly recommend it! Will probably plan a trip back and bring my boat.

We loved our stay!

This was our first beach vacation to Dauphin Island. We were about 10 minutes and an easy drive to the beach! The shed is super adorable and spacious! Beds were comfy and everything was there that we needed for the whole week! The river runs behind it and there’s a seafood store - we are obsessed with the fresh shrimp & crab quiche! It was the perfect trip! We will be back next year for sure!!

It was a great place to stay very cozy and quiet. Excellent if you want to get away from all the hustle and bustle. It was only 15 minutes from the beach (side note if you go to Dauphin Island beaches make sure you have very good cellphone service to use the ParkMobile app. They will boot your car) Also the people at Catalina Restaurant are the best if you have a toddler. The restaurants along the beach had very rude staff so we ate at Catalina the majority of our trip. The Aquarium was also great we enjoyed it. Definitely was a nice get away

Mother’s day getaway

This trip was last minute, just me and my boys. Miss Patricia was the BEST! The house was spotless, homey and very well located to Dauphin Island. I thoroughly enjoyed my Sunday morning chat with Miss Patrica. She was a Blessing!

Hidden Gem

This property is in a nice and quiet secluded area. We were minutes away from Dauphin Island and loved the small island feel. Everyone is so kind and friendly. We got in very late at night, and the Shed was warm and cozy with beds waiting for us. It was absolutely what we needed to escape the hustle of life.

Perfectly Peaceful

This accommodation is much roomier than expected and closer to Dauphin Island than I imagined. The shed is delightful. My three adult children and I stayed very comfortably for the weekend. The beautiful oaks and pines, the luscious St. Augustine, view of the river and the kindness of our hosts made the stay so relaxing. This is an excellent rental for anyone seeking quiet and beauty.

Beautiful Coden Getaway

My husband, son, and I spent 3 nights at this peaceful property. Secluded yet close to many things. Dauphin Island was only around 15 minutes away. We spent a little of each evening there. Beautiful sunsets!! Mobile not far away as well. Would definitely stay here again! Beautiful property, nice inside, wonderful hosts! Was also a nice bonus to buy up some shrimp to bring home from the owners of the property(Zirlott's Gulf Products) before we left out. Thank you Patricia and Kate for sharing your property! We had a wonderful visit!

Peaceful Getaway

I really enjoyed my stay at "The Shed". It is a cozy little place that feels just right. I was in need of some time to myself and this little place fit the bill. The shed has everything you need right down to complimentary coffee. It was very clean and once you get there you feel miles away from everything and everyone, but you can get to the beach in an easy 15 minute drive. I also really enjoyed watching the Masked Fox Squirrels play right in the yard and walking down to the dock on the property to watch the sunset. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing!

Victor and Patricia were amazing. The Shed was great! Super clean and had everything we needed. Our kids fished on the dock and we went to the beach on Dauphin Island, which was only 10-15 minutes away. We hope to come back sometime soon! The Shed was great, but the hosts made the experience amazing. They were never intrusive or anything like that, but we knew they were always around if we need anything at all. It felt like we were visiting family that we had always known.
