traveler reviews for this gulf shores house rental

We loved our stay here!

Chezney88 (Huntsville, Al, USA)
Review submitted: November 1, 2011   Date of arrival: October 13, 2011

We loved this house! It was much bigger than the pictures show and right across the street are great docks to fish off of! It was just a short drive to the beach from there but we loved not being stuck in all the traffic of Shrimp Festival. We will definitely be staying here again!

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, pet-friendly, romantic getaway

Owners response: I agree with Chezney! It's nice to be so close to the beach, yet have the peace and quite of our small fishing community. The river offers the best of salt and fresh water fishing.

Great place to start a river adventure

seamorelilfoot (dahlonega, ga, usa)
Review submitted: October 4, 2011   Date of arrival: September 24, 2011

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cottage, comfortable, large and open, close to the river. Everything we needed for our week of adventure was there. We kayaked the Bon Secour and Magnolia Springs rivers, with put in's only minutes from the front door, you can spend more time on the water then in the car. The back roads were also great for bicycle riding with some routes laid out with arrows. In the area the local seafood markets provided for a good selection for dinner. We also liked Lamberts for that southern cooked meal with plenty to eat. We are not beach people but if you are, the drive is only minutes away.

Thanks for having us it was a perfect place to relax.

Owners response: I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay. It is great for kayaking, fishing, sailing . . . I love that you can head up the river to view the fresh-water habitat, or go out into the bay (and Gulf from there) to experience the salt-water marine life. Did you see the dolphins from the pier? They usually pass by every day. You're right about a great selection of seafood! You can purchase it fresh from down the street to cook yourself, or visit one of the many wonderful restaurants in Gulf Shores. Bon Secour is a French term meaning "Safe Harbor." That it is! I hope you'll come back to visit again!

Home away from home

Alicia (Birmingham, Alabama)
Review submitted: June 21, 2011   Date of arrival: June 11, 2011

This cottage was a pleasant surprise and like a breath of fresh air. My family and I were very happy with the look and feel of the place. It is well furnished and equipped and has lots of space. If your looking for a home away from home this is definitely it.

Recommended for: families with young children

Owners response: I'm always happy to hear that my guests are pleased. That is my goal. I try to treat each visitor the way I would want to be treated and provide what is needed for an enjoyable stay.
