Strip any used beds and gather used towels
Take out the trash

Trash goes out in the cans by the road. Our turn over time is tight. So if you are able to wash and dry the towels that's a big help in getting the space cleaned in time for the next guest.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

My husband and I spent 10 days in Foley and had a wonderful time! Our host was great to work with. The house was clean, absolutely adorable, and it met all of our needs perfectly! We especially loved having a fence backyard for our pups, they loved it! We would definitely spend time here again!

Host was excellent at responding to our inquiries. Fenced Backyard was ideal for our German Shepard to play. Firepit was utilized several times & we were able to setup our projector/screen to watch Alabama Football & The World Series!

The home was comfortable and the yard was great for the dogs. The location is excellent, near everything. The patio needs work as it has uneven blocks which are a tripping hazard. And the broken and dirty statues in the back need attention. There wasn’t a lot of room for our stuff once you too off all the pillows and stuffed gnomes and bedspread and put it all in the one available closet. The host was very responsive.

Not fancy but served the purpose and dogs were no charge. The place was cute with the gnomes everywhere. A/C worked great! Two blocks from downtown Foley. We walked often around Heritage Park. The Holmes Hospital Museum was very interesting. The Train Musejm was interesting as well. All merchants were very friendly and welcoming!

House was so cute! Very convenient to the sports complex. We were there for the softball World Series. Ended up having to stay an extra day and they were so nice about it and it was so easy to add that day. For sure will stay again.

Adorable Cottage
This place is just as described. Whimsical gnomes everywhere. Very convenient to downtown Foley, walking distance to restaurants. We have dogs so the backyard was very important to us, our dogs loved it. Hosts were fantastic. We locked ourselves out the second day and someone came to the house to help us out. We ended up staying a day longer and they graciously let us stay longer at a good rate. The house is older but very charming, AC worked excellent. I highly recommend staying here, especially with dogs.
This was an adorable home that suited our needs perfectly. We enjoyed our stay and being near the beach.
I never received an email with instructions for check in and check out, however it seemed pretty self explanatory. We hope we didn't miss anything important.
I wish that this location had a guide to local places. We spent a lot of time trying to decide on coffee, lunch, dinner, drinks. I love when the locals let us know their faves! Otherwise no complaints. Wonderful stay!

Great place for long term and short term. Can see the stars in the backyard, even though you are in the city. Dogs loved the tall fenced in area.
