Fishing from the Dock
Property is small but just right for my husband and myself. Enjoyed our 6 days - we would come back. Enjoyed fishing and sitting on deck enjoying the dolphins and birds. Did see 2 alligators in the morning along the dock. The downside there is very little closet and storage space - so don’t bring many clothes - only 1 closet to hang clothes and no chest of drawers to store clothes. Outside dining area needs a fan - can get rather hot and steamy. Enjoyed our time and enjoyed and sunrises and sunsets.

Had Fun
Very restful, quiet area but close enough to go to Gulf Shores, etc. We loved the back porch and long pier. It was big enough for two people, the kitchen and bath rooms were very nice and supplied well. We will request it again

Enjoyable Stay
Pros: Size nice for two, semi-private location, fishing from dock, all kitchen appliances, outside grill, easy to find. Cons: Bedding cleanliness (lack of), uneven floor can pinch toes if not careful (yes, we read the reviews and understand why the floors are uneven and knew that before we rented, but a warning to future renters (watch your toes)), sand beach & bulkhead needs TLC, no lighting on dock, no way to get on dock if you fall off (no ladder/steps), sliding glass back door very difficult to open/close. Overall it was a nice stay and we enjoyed. Just a few things (mentioned above) that really need some attention. Would probably take a good weekend or two of fixing/adjusting things, cleaning up the outside, etc. That would make for a world of difference. And I would definitely discuss bedding with the housekeeper, it needs to be much cleaner. Also, low tide it is almost impossible to climb back on the dock without assistance if someone falls over. Can't really swim ashore on the property because of the bulkhead covered with barnacles... safety hazard. Need to swim two lots down to area with no bulkhead. Overall outside/beach cleanup would make a big difference and would be much more inviting.

Great Little Cottage
Place was just as described. Loved fishing from the dock, and we even caught a few fish. Clean and comfortable. Loved the old wood floors. Reminded me of my great grandma and grandpa’s floor. Brought back some great memories. Just peaceful and relaxing.

Peaceful and Qauint!
Super smooth process all the way through! Communication was perfect, home was as described. Very clean and everything we needed! Views of the sunsets were amazing! Peaceful and comfy! Close to the Fort, Tacky Jacks, Fort Morgan pizza and others. Trip to town was short if needed. All appliances worked great. The only “con” would be the sliding glass door was hard to open. This is so minor but I feel needs to stated. It feels very private and is enjoyable. The pier was sturdy and the bench at the end faces West: perfect for sunsets!

Perfect!
This property was perfect for our weekend. The cottage was exactly as described in the ad and the pictures were exactly what the property looked like. It was clean and very comfortable. I cannot describe how relaxing it was sitting on the porch and hanging out on the dock. Our Easter morning was amazing as we sat on the end of the dock and attended Easter services via our electronic device. What made it even more awesome was that within 5 minutes of arriving, we were greeted by a passing dolphin. We can't say enough about how much we needed this weekend and this property could not have been better!! Thank you!

Your remodel and choice of decor is excellent! The cleaning company that you are using is not taking care of your property and it made the house seem different from the pictures. No one is changing the bed sheets/comforter or cleaning the tub/shower, floors. Also cleaning that cottage should take more than 35 minutes. I used to clean hotels and work for merry maids so I can tell whats up;) Otherwise the neighbors were nice and everything was as expected! You and your adorable cottage deserve better!
