Charming, cheerful, and bright this darling cottage at The Rookery is close to the incredible white sand beach that Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan Peninsula are known for.

...the balmy breeze. Inside, you'll find an open living space that brings together the kitchen, the six-person dining room table, and the living room with its flat screen TV'S. There is a private washer/dryer where you can leave the day's swimsuits to spin or grab a fresh one on your way over to the community's outdoor pool and hot tub.

The condo was clean. The mattress in the master bedroom needs to be changed. Other than that everything was good.
This was a great place for our family. It was a lovely location. We will definitely be coming back!
We really enjoyed our stay met a lot of great people!
My family and I, along with 2 close friends absolutely loved our stay! Perfect location for what we were wanting from our trip. I would absolutely book another trip to the Gulf and stay at this property again.
Great
We enjoyed our stay at the Rookery. The cottage is located in a small private community directly across from the pool area. The cottage was well-equipped with kitchen necessities and pool/beach toys and chairs. Parking is limited and in the afternoon, the No Seeums are pretty bad. Bring bug spray.
It is a very secluded area with a wonderful pool and hot tub and close to the beach. If they could spray for the gnats it would help a lot. The cottage is arranged nicely for a family. We had a issue that I brought to their attention and they took care of it promptly to make our stay better. Cleaning could be a lot better according to me. Very good communication with all staff if needed something. It was a little farther from Gulf Shores area but in all Very Nice get away! Mike and Wanda
The area is a good choice. Close to public beach access. Beds weren't very comfortable. The mattresses on the bunk beds were very thin, spring mattresses. My kids complained about them quite a bit. The hot water didn't last through 2 full bathing sessions. Some cookware wasn't clean when we pulled them out. We had a few roaches around the sink and dishwasher area. The vents were pretty dirty and a few cobwebs here and there. We stayed for 5 nights. When I asked if we were able to get ONE dishwasher pod, ONE trash bag, and ONE roll of toilet paper, we were denied. I didn't find it was too much to ask. The staff/manager were very nice though.
Great stay overall. Loved the location, convenience to the pool, and the coziness of the house. Our only issue was the master BR mattress seems pretty worn out our backs were hurting every morning. Otherwise we would definitely be back! Thanks for a great vacay!
The cottage was not clean. Intake vents were filthy, roaches and some pots and pans were put away dirty. Furniture was worn out as well as pots and pans. Cookie sheets were rusted. Mattress on sofa bed was not sleepable as well as terrible mattresses on bunk beds. Rules stated no smoking anywhere on property yet people were smoking on property as well as at the pool where cigarette sniffer/disposables were provided. I have used VRBO for all my vacations and have never been unhappy until now. I would not rent here again.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was nice and the pool was great for the little kids. The house was pretty clean but we like to deep clean. The toilet needed it. We pulled out furniture to sweep and mop, found stuff like food and old juice probably from previous kids. The sliding bathroom door was off the roller so you had to pick up one end but we just didn't use it much.

My husband and I and our 7 children were very comfortable in this ciottage. The kitchen was well stocked and it was very nice to be able to prepare meals and space for us to all eat together. The beach was a short walk and very nice. The kids loved that the pool was right across the parking lot. Thank you!
Adequate and as advertised but remotely located.

The house was perfect for10 family members ranging from 6 to 60. We loved being close to the pool. The walk to the beach was easy. BYOTP
10 of us stayed April 07-11. The house was nice, pool across the street and the neighborhood was quite. Beach is maybe a 5 min drive away
Very nice place. Pool and hot tub well kept. Peaceful, 20 minutes away from the main beach area and stores.
