This house was great! We had 8 people and we were never on top of each other! The view of the bay was beautiful, kayaking was a blast. Easy and quick access to the beach but I do recommend a golf cart if you have an elderly person like we did. The beach was directly across the street. Our family had a wonderful time and would 100% rent again. The rooms were clean and the beds were super comfortable. The living room and kitchen/dining room was large. The hosts answered every question I had within minutes!Rent. This. House!!

This is a beautiful home that is exceptionally clean and is in like-new condition with lovely decor. The kitchen is very well-stocked and had everything we needed to cook and serve family meals for our group. The neighborhood is quiet and there are excellent views of the bay. Public beach access is about 2 blocks away, and the marina/Tacky Jack's is less than a five-minute drive. Ferry and Fort Morgan are less than 10 minutes away. We really appreciated the easy checkout instructions (wash dishes and take out trash) on our departure morning. Also, having a separate fridge in the laundry room for fish, bait, drinks, or whatever, was great! Wonderful stay!

The most incredible house!!! We all said we wanted to pick it up and transport it back home. The views of the water and the oyster farm were stunning. It was fun to watch them work out there and flip the cages over. The kitchen is so very well appointed, everything you could ever need, not to mention GORGEOUS! The host was very easy to communicate with and we hope to come back to start again!

The house is very clean, and everything was working. Easy walk to the beach although there is a busy road to cross. We never had any issues getting across with small kids though. Being on the bay was a lot of fun and kids enjoyed being able to get back in the water after being at the beach. Caught a flounder right from the edge of the water and saw lots of charters coming into the inlet to fish. Damage deposit is pretty steep - can't say I've ever had one this high. But other than that the house was great and we enjoyed the trip.
