Marks the Spot — the perfect waterfront getaway

MarkstheSpot was great so clean and refreshing; nicley decorated; front and back decks were comfortable and great to sit, watch and listen to beach sounds-birds, waves, kids having fun, people walking dogs while we just relaxed and drank coffee. Kitchen is so well stocked. Just a short walk to the beach. We, 3 generations 7-70's, enjoyed making memories. Kevin and Melissa were great hosts. We will be back.

Everything was perfect!, wished we could have stayed longer! Grandson who is 7 wanted to move there. We enjoyed the house and the beach. Took a ride on the ferry to Fort Morgan. We also enjoyed the aquarium great little getaway. Hope to come back.!

The property was very clean and nicely decorated with everything needed to enjoy our month long stay. Very relaxing and quiet part of the island with upper and lower decks for R and R.Nice to be outside with areas out of the rain.Overall, a great stay.

To say the kitchen was fully equipped would be under selling it. Anything wwe need or may have need was right there.

We have stayed here, several times and it is the highlight of our year. We look forward to next year's vacation. It suits us to a T. We can't thank our hosts enough for the wonderful memories we have made there.

Location is the best, right on the canal and 4 minute walk to the beach. The kitchen has EVERYTHING. We cooked big meals with ease. The entire property not just the rooms were very clean. There is also a nice dock to fish and crab from. Mr Marks allows the use of the crab traps. Communication was very prompt when I informed Mr Marks we arrived but with great instructions on how everything works none was required during our stay. The interior is extremely cozy and comfortable all around. In other words we felt at ease and at home. The view of Mobile Bay from the back porch, well, no words to explain the beauty. We will be spending all our vacation time at Marks the Spot. Thank you so much Mark & Mellisa Marks.

Highly Recommend!!!

We had an amazing stay! Beutisliel and clean home with easy beach access and

We loved this house. It’s in a perfect location on the bay and a straight walk to the beach. The house is equipped with all the things you need for a week of living at the beach. You will need to bring your own beach essentials (chairs/umbrella/ toys) which is what we did. The guys loved fishing off the deck and using the crab traps to catch crabs. The owners are easy to contact if you have any issues or questions.

Very clean awesome people do deal with had a wonderful time

This home was just as described. It was a great place to rest, relax and rejuvenate. Loved being able to fish on the back dock. I would absolutely stay here again !!

Overall, our stay was wonderful. It was very relaxing, and cozy. The breeze that come off the bay is perfect for an afternoon nap in the hammock. The house had everything we needed and more. Our hostswere very sweet and even checked in on us to make sure we had all we needed.

We loved staying at this house. House has everything you need. The owner is great at communicating. This was the most relaxing spring break we have ever had.

Beautiful property!! Really enjoyed our stay!

Very good location, well kept, quite. The perfect place with excellent host.

This property was very nice. Lots of patio/deck space. Right on the water/cove for the fishermen in our group. Very responsive owners. Everything was clean and comfortable.

We stayed at this house for nearly a week. Our review of this property is mixed:*Some of the photos on this listing need to be updated: there were photos depicting the view of the bay which showed a green space across from the house, however, this green space no longer exists as there are now 2 large, 2-story houses there. May want to ask for updated pics before renting this house if the view is of importance.*The 2 houses across the bay and another 2 doors down (all in very close proximity) were under construction during our stay. The owners did not notify us about the construcrtion until the day of our arrival. Next door neighbors advised us construction started a year ago.*Noise from the construction resulted in us often not being able to enjoy the outdoor space. A couple days it was so loud, we left the house. Recommend inquiring as to the current state of construction before renting.*We were advised on the day of arrival that a starter supply of paper towels/TP was provided & that we would need to buy more; a little more advance notice would have been appreciated. We don't mind bringing our own supplies, but by the time we were notified, we had left home and were on the road*Many of the windows could not be opened or had screens full of large holes*House was very clean upon our arrival*Kitchen was well stocked; huge supply of plates, glasses, coffee mugs, utensils, etc.

Our family of 5 with 3 kids ages ranging 9-15 had a great time! We brought crab cages and caught crabs which we cooked up. We caught countless Krokers, but no luck with the sheepsheads other fishermen caught just a couple houses down in the same bay. The beach is just down the street, the beach can be seen from the kitchen window.

We can’t say enough good things about this home! The hosts were very friendly and communication was quick and easy. We had no problems during our stay. We enjoyed the beautiful decorations perfectly placed throughout the home! Short walk to the Gulf and lovely views off the back deck. Thank you Mark and Melissa for sharing your slice of island paradise!

Everything was outstanding! Property was perfect! Caught redfish, specs, and finally a sheepshead! I’ve stayed at 5 different places on the Island in the past 3+ years and this is at the top! Thanks to the Marks!

This property was very clean, all amenities throughout, beautiful views & stunning sunsets, convenient parking, & comfortable furnishings! Communication with hosts, Kevin & Melissa, was excellent!

We have made a tradition, staying here. The high point of the year.

We loved the house and the location. It was extremely clean and had everything we needed. Host/Owner communicated every detail accurately! We felt at home and will definitely aim to rent this one again next year!!
