Bayfront Gulf Shores Retreat • Near Beach • Dolphin Views • Sleeps 11

Quiet community right on the bay. We fished everyday.

We saw the dolphins on day 1 and a few other times while we were there. Overall, the outside of the house needs some cosmetic repairs. The interior was great for us and our dogs. Our dogs did find every sticker bur (sp?) possible with their paws. So be wary of those and bring tweezers.Couches were good for afternoon naps! The views and dolphin sightings right by the house made this a great and relaxing Christmas vacation for us.

The location was amazing! Short walk to the beach, the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We did see dolphins from the deck, it was maybe the closest we have been to a wild dolphin! It was such a joy being able to have our dogs there and the clean up instructions were simple. I am removing one star because while the house was neat & tidy it was not clean - a lot of dust & dirt on the window sills, marks on the doors, fabric of pretty much everything had a stain on it. It felt more like a fishing camp but we absolutely loved it and had a great time.

Plenty of open space. Well stocked with kitchen/cooking utensils. Able to fish and run crab traps right outside front door. Beach access right across highway. Mature kids can get to beach easily with bicycles.

This little bay front cottage is one of my favorite VRBO stays. It bears the wounds and scars from tropical storms yet it’s so comfortable and homey. The views from the porch are unmatched. My husband and our two dogs enjoyed our time there fishing, birdwatching, and watching the dolphins that came to play just in front of the little cottage. Chuck was fast and friendly with communication. I can’t wait to come back.

We loved this house. Million dollar view and awesome location!

The house was comfortable, yet lacked some basic items like coffee cups. The property grounds are a safety hazard. The sea wall appears to be in the process of being repaired, and rebar is sticking out in multiple places. This property is not kid-friendly.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house is comfortable and well equipped. A huge perk to being able to have our beloved dog, Comet, with us. The neighborhood is quiet and felt very safe. Excellent!

We spent a wonderful week here. It was so quiet and peaceful. We saw dolphins every day, several came right up to the seawall and looked at us up on the back porch! We spent a lot of time on the back porch, watching all of the birds and fish and other wildlife. I’ve never seen so many dolphins or different varieties of water type birds in one place! It’s a very quick trip across the street and about two blocks to several public beach accesses. We did not have a lot of great weather, but that didn’t bother us at all. Hurricane Rafael was moving in so the gulf was rolling in some impressive big waves. We were able to purchase everything we needed for our stay at the Dollar General about 5 miles or so down the road. We even got a couple of decent beach chairs there. They had a very good selection of grocery items. The sea wall and the pier are still being repaired from hurricane damage but that didn’t effect our stay. We lounged up on the back porch and watched everything going on in the bay for hours at a time. I had such a relaxing time. I wanted to come back down the first week of January, but they are already booked up through February. Instead, I booked the house next-door because I know how quiet and beautiful it is in that area! If you like a quiet beach, stay with beautiful scenery and a comfortable place to stay this is it! Chuck was very responsive to any issues that we had and took very good care of us. We will definitely stay here again!!

It was amazing we came down for our anniversary Charles was a great host will be back for sure! Robin and Mitch WV

Fell in love with the magnificent views.
