Family friendly, quiet and peaceful. Heavily wooded area directly on the bay with amenities within easy reach. Sugar sand beaches of Pensacola and Gulf Shores a short drive away. All-around view of the bay from spacious living room floor-to-ceiling windows. Air conditioned, electric heat, working fireplace, Dish TV, WiFi, laundry facilities, ample parking. Pirates' Cove with its dolphin cruises, old fashioned hamburgers and live music weekends is around the corner on Intracoastal Waterway. Fishing reef farther out in the bay (constructed of fragments of a Gulf Shores pier destroyed by a hurricane.) by which there is always a boat of someone fishing. Sugar sand beaches of Gulf Shores and Pensacola a short drive away. Fresh fruits and vegetable stands, farmstead cheese factory close by near Elberta. The 24 inch redfish in the photo was caught just offshorre. My son observed that just after a rain the water would be more fresh than usual and sure enough, he caught the fsh just about ten feet offshore.
Sit in the shade of ancient live oaks next to the sea wall. Moon rise is spectacular. (So is the sunrise if you're up that soon.) Still possible to encounter deer on a walk through the woods. Swimming good for children -- my gramdfather picked out the lot because of the shallow water and clean, sandy bottom.

It was our 2nd time staying at the property and kt was perfect!
Loved the view most of all!
Probably one of our best vacations! Hands down the location of this home was fantastic! We live in rural Missouri so this was perfect! Saw dolphins swim by night 1 ! Sunrises were phenomenal ! We did many things like visit Florida, Gulf shores, dauphin island and enjoyed being able to cook in the full kitchen! Cheryl is amazing and the owners respond to message extremely quick! Best experience ever.... definitely looking forward to another trip in the future.... hopefully this home....it's perfect!
overall a good rental
Loved the peaceful quiet neighborhood. Walked my dog on quiet street every morning. Watched dolphins, loons, and osprey fishing right out the back door.
We greatly enjoyed our visit. The house was large. Simply furnished. The view of the bay was amazing. If you are looking for a quiet get-away, this is it!
Vacation to relax and this was the perfect place. We had out dogs with us To enjoy the water and beach. House is nice and big on the water. It is older and outdated, needs a good cleaning. Painting and updating of exposed wires and vents. Would be better with more essential items stocked since it is a 20 minute drive to a Dollar general or gas station. Add more kitchen linens, blankets, small little touches with the updates would really make an improvement. We will book here again.
The home wasn’t as clean as I would have preferred. The housekeeper did say the water was shut off for a while though. We bought a few things to cook with. We did enjoy our stay. We could see the dolphins swimming each morning & my oldest son fished. We also liked being able to bring our dog.
Cheryl was super easy to get in touch with. Checking in was a breeze, even tho we were later than we wanted to be. It's a beautiful property and we were thrilled with our stay. The water out front is great, our not quite 2 yr old definitely loved it more than the actual beach. It's, I would say, an older home, but the kitchen is WAY updated, bathrooms were great and it was the absolute best home away from home for us!! The most gorgeous sunrises, Every. Single. Morning. Thank y'all so much for letting us stay, we will be back!
The house was great- location, new higher end appliances, fully equipped kitchen all with a great view out the huge back window wall. Water access via stairs was right there also. I was referred to a great local bar and grill marina that was minutes from the house. We will definitely book again and again. We liked the area so much we may look at a home there. Management was very responsive to questions and pleasant to deal with.
Fabulous property for beautiful sunrises! Sits directly on the bay and we were able to rent a pontoon boat from Orange Beach and drive to the house during our outing! If you want a peaceful place away from the hustle and bustle this is it!
Very relaxing!!
