Sunset Sanctuary- Bay Dock/Hot Tub/.5mi to Beach

4.8 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviews2 weeks ago

Great location! We saw dolphins every single day. The house was well taken care of and we had a lovely stay. The lights on the dock were not working and Sean took care of that quickly. He had an electrician come out and they were fixed that night. We loved it and would recommend staying here.

5 out of 5 average rating, 19 reviews4 months ago

We absolutely loved Bre’s place. It was quiet and private, but also very close to public beaches, Hang Out, and restaurants/ grocery stores. It was absolutely perfect and comfortably fit my family of 4 plus my dad and stepmom. We also cooked most nights and the kitchen was well equipped with all amenities we needed to make some tasty meals. We felt right at home and highly recommend Bre’s place!

Waterfront Property-Dock-Free Kayaks-10min 2 Beach

5 out of 5 average rating, 24 reviews8 months ago

Awesome place and awesome host! It was lovely having a trial run at camper life with all the amenities I could hope for in a camper/air bnb in general. All the amenities/appliances were as listed and anything I needed, Yasmin and Larry were more than happy and very quick to help and accommodate. Neighborhood was friendly and safe. Also having unfettered water access and kayaks (5-10 min kayak out of the bayou into the bay/to private beaches) was awesome. Couldn’t have been better hosts; so communicative and always willing to help. Highly recommend.

What a magical stay for me and my family. This place was so adorable. Decorated lovely with such a cool beach vibe! It was so close to the beach. There was so much to do. The pool was amazing overall we would stay here again 100 times. The place was extremely clean and had all amenities you would want the bunkbeds for my kids were so comfortable and the main bedroom mattress was absolutely comfortable. The TVs are oversized and perfect. There was books to read things to do. You're close to everything GULF Shores was amazing and if we ever go back, I'll stay here again.

Coastal Retreat - Blackwater Bay

5 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviews2 weeks ago

Great stay for a groups of 13 adults and 4 kids. Lots to do. We really enjoyed our time! The location was quiet and beautiful! Only note is that the access to smallest queen bedroom is only through the main suite's room and bathroom or the bedroom with the twin bed. This was not ideal as we expected individual entrances to each bedroom. I may have missed that in the listing but I was very surprised by it when we arrived. We made it work and enjoyed our stay immensely!

Place was clean and beautiful. We walked to the pier and just enjoyed a peaceful evening stroll gazing the bay. The villa was quiet and everyone we encountered was very friendly. Location was perfect and almost everything was within a reasonable distance. This was our first trip out here and Ben and his staff made us feel welcomed and was very helpful and communicative during our stay.
