About this property

Book your Vacation now! Less than 100 yards walking distance to the beach

  • 'Busy Doin' Nothin' is located within a single family residential neighborhood- none of the crowded beaches, traffic, noise, etc. associated with some areas on the Gulf coast.

    Restaurants and convenience stores located nearby. At last count, 13 golf courses in the area, Bon Secure National Wildlife Refuge, the Mobile Bay Ferry, Fort Morgan Historic Site, Alabama Birding Trail are all close by. For those that desire to 'shop 'til you drop', the Rivera Centre contains in excess of 100 factory outlet stores and is located in nearby Foley (approximately 10 miles north of Gulf Shores).

    The world's most beautiful beach is located approximately 100 yards from your front door. The home has a wagon for your use in carrying necessary beach supplies, chairs, etc.- most of which are available at the home for your use. Because the home is located on the Fort Morgan Peninsula, Mobile Bay is directly north of the home, less than a 1/4 mile away, and offers fishing, crabbing, shrimping, etc. The home has crab traps available for your use-you will need to bring your own fishing equipment. A fishing pier is located on the Fort Morgan Historic Site and is available for your use at a nominal charge, and well as the public boat launch.

    Alcohol is allowed on our beaches. As are pets. Please Contact me for any questions Regarding my Property- TINA

Everything was exactly as described. Very close to beach. We had a great family stay. Only real issue was that the floors were dirty. Animal hair and dirt. I realize it is pet friendly but it had not been swept, mopped, or vacuumed.

A Standing Ovation!

We loved our month stay at Busy Doin’ Nothin’!!! It was perfect for us and our dogs. The house was well stocked, clean and nicely furnished. The back yard was great for our dogs. The location was awesome—just a couple hundred steps to the beach. We really enjoyed meeting and talking with our neighbors and several others who come every October. We had a little hiccup with our WiFi. The owner was immediately on top of it. We were sad to leave today, but we will definitely be back.

Indecisive owner

The property was fine, although there was sand in one of the beds and a towel full of someone's hair, but overall okay. However the owner (who consented to us bringing 5 dogs, which I paid an extra fee for) tried to cancel my trip less than 24 hours prior to our arrival for a Christmas vacation. I assured her that they were well behaved. Apparently she expected a SPOTLESS place when we left. I got none of my deposit back. If you're bringing pets just a warning - make sure they don't shed!!!!

Nice....

Communication with the Owner was easy. Location was easy to find, and it was a short nice walk to the beach. Lots of room in the Kitchen/ Dining Room and Living Room. The whole area is very dog friendly. It should be noted the fourth bedroom is not a Queen and 2 twins, it is just a Queen bed. The floor in the master bathroom was not clean, but it seemed like everything else was. The stairs were a little shaky, which can happen over time at the beach, anyone who is not sure footed may have a hard time on them. Mostly my only warning is that the master bath is aggressively orange, lol. Be warned when you turn on the lights. All that being said, I would rent it again. It would make a great week or more stay, for a group of no more than 8, it has plenty of room for everyone!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Nice and close to the beach (2 minute walk). The only thing that would keep us from renting this property again is the condition of the stairs. If they get replaced we will happily sign up for next year.

The location was perfect — very close to the beach and easy to get around. Communication with the hosts was smooth and timely.The kitchen had what we needed for basic cooking. Like most rentals, the skillet wasn’t great, but that’s pretty common. Dishes and utensils were a mix of styles, but there was enough for our stay.The bedrooms were comfortable, though the carpets are older and a bit worn in spots. If you’re bringing dogs, I recommend bringing a gate or board to block off the deck stairs.Overall, the house had plenty of room and worked out perfectly for our short visit. We’d definitely stay here again!
