    We chose this property mostly because it is pet friendly, and the point of this trip was to take our elderly dog to experience his first ocean. We were able to do that, and so much more. This property is newly-renovated, clean, and minutes away from several beaches. The owners generously provide beach chairs, kayaks, and life vests, all of which we used to enrich our experience. The kitchen is spacious and appointed with a full-sized refrigerator, dishwasher, and everything you need to cook a full surf n turf dinner (which we did)! The gas grill is in good working order as well. My only (very mild) gripe would be the following. As I recall, the property is advertised to sleep 6. It would comfortably fit 1 adult couple and 2-3 children, or maybe 2 adult couples. 6 would be very tight, with little room for belongings. Second, the AC went out the second night of our stay. However, the rental company had a contractor over to fix it within about 12 hours, on Mother's Day Sunday no less! SO we spent one warm evening with all the windows open and fans on, but everything was fixed right away and communication was spectacular. For its location, amenities, and excellent kitchen, I would definitely stay in this property again. I also had a good experience renting from Vacasa - they were highly responsive and fixed the AC issue immediately. I would recommend renting with Vacasa as well.

    The house was perfect for us. And the location was pretty central to all activities we wanted to do.

    We stayed on the island and visited with friends in Bayou la Batre. We spent a lot of time on the beach and riding the bicyckes provided. The house stayed nice and cool and was centrally located. 10/10 would recommend

    We had such an amazing stay! Clean, fun, lots of quote and saw dolphins in the bay. Sunsets while grilling with family was a joy and loved the back deck! Thank you! Would book again.
