no security lighting. Poor driveway access
The motion detector at front door not working. There are no security lights in parking area, making it difficult to navigate out of driveway, especially with larger vehicle. Nice area to park, just needs trees and bushes trimmed back a little.

Very nice, clean and comfortable. Just right for a couple. We fished, enjoyed the sunsets from the pier and had a great vaca. The bed was so comfortable and the shower was great. Kitchen was set up really nice. We loved the back deck.

Quiet and Relaxing
Loved this property! Very clean, comfortable bed, awesome private covered back deck with private pier. Visited Fort Morgan, took ferry to Dauphin Island for the day, and close to Gulf Shores. Some of our favorite restaurants nearby were Sassy Bass and Tacky Jacks. Will definitely be back!

Great Getaway
Beautiful view and loved watching my son fish on the pier. We would definitely stay here again, but will bring some extra sleeping arrangements since mattress on couch is very thin. Overall, it was exactly what we needed and wish we could have stayed longer. Host was very helpful and responsive.

Anniversary Weekend
The house was a perfect size for just the two of us. It was cozy and equipped with everything we needed. My husband loved the long, private pier to fish off of and made friends with a herring that he fed small fish to. There were several restaurants and pizza places close by and also a very well stocked Dollar General. We will definitely be back.

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.

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!
