The house is a fantastic location! The rental company responded to any concerns quickly. It should be noted to renters that it only comes with one roll of toilet paper, one roll of paper towels, and two dishwasher tabs. Very limited shopping on the island - so come prepared. (It could use a deep cleaning )
The pond has super fun jumping fish!
Sunset from the beach at the house.

This is a great location with a nice deck and a beautiful view of the bay. Big enough for all of us (8) and one happy dog. Comfortable house but a little run down. A little run down with multiple chipped glasses and a dining chair with an unreliable leg. One bad mattress. Also plastic mattress cover with no pad.

Spacious and relaxing family getaway

We had a combined family spring break where amazing memories were made. This house was in an ideal location, exactly as described. It was super spacious, comfortable, well-stocked, and a super close to the beach.

Nice big house!

We had a family of 9 stay. Plenty of room for all of us. Some of us went fishing with DI Reef Monsters. We all liked the sea lab aquarium. We also went up to Mobile and saw the USS Alabama memorial.
