Very clean, roomy, adorable cottages.
The cottages were adorable, clean, and roomy. Golf cart was very useful. Beach was gorgeous, and pools were nice.
Everything was great except the alarm system kept going off during the night as if we were suppose to arm it.

Our family enjoyed our time here and the golf cart was an added bonus.
Great place, beach is not far, the a/c should be set at 70 degrees before prior arrival, but other than that everything else was great

It was really great. We have never been to this area before and we were so happy!!!
We traveled with our two small kids. They loved the bunk bed room. Our beds were comfy as well. We figured out the TV and internet quickly. We loved the lanai area. It created such a pleasant second space for my husband and I or the kids. A short drive from beach and downtown. We had a wonderful time here!

We had a great time at this rental. The place was spotless. So close to the beach!
This place was perfect for our family. It met all of our needs. Access to the beach was great. Would recommend foam mattress toppers (mattresses are very firm). Would also recommend new batteries for the golf cart. It would not hold charge all day. Overall this is an excellent place to stay. We would definitely stay here again.

We had 8 people in our group and plenty of space for everyone. It was a cute little neighborhood of beach houses and wasn't very crowded. It's a short drive or walk to the beach as well. We loved everything about it except for the beds. Would recommend new mattresses. We definitely recommend this place if you are wanting a laid back vacation!

Perfect Beach House for a Family Vacation
This house exceeded our expectations. The house was new, clean, and immaculate. The house was perfectly equipped and decorated to enhance our family beach vacation. The golf cart was a huge plus and convenience. The neighborhood pools were spectacular. The location was perfect. Close to all the amenities but far enough from the commercialized hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores. Truly a relaxing beach vacation. We would definitely stay here again!

Really enjoyed our stay. Pool was really close and nice. House was spotless, nice size for the 4 adults and 4 kids we had. Pretty much had to drive to the beach. It would be be quite a walk to walk to.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was a very nice and clean place. We enjoyed the screened in porch because it rained a couple of our days. I was thankful that I could communicate through texts and that I received answers back quickly. I would recommend this property to others!
