I was a little worried about this house being a bit of a drive outside of the main tourist area of Gulf Shores, but it was perfect! The house was beautiful, great layout, very clean, the beds were super comfy! I loved the two porches that our dog could safely enjoy with us. It’s so close to the beach that you can see the water from both the front and back porch. The beach is gorgeous and quiet. Our dog loved being able to take long walks and play in the water. Having the outdoor shower was super helpful for cleaning the dog after beach trips and they also provide doggie waste bags outside which was a nice surprise. They do have some beach items available that previous guests have left behind. I saw toys, a wagon, multiple umbrellas, a camping type chair and we did use a couple things. The only thing that would be nice is to have some beach chairs available to use. It was kind of a pain to bring our own. Tacky Jacks restaurant is close enough to walk to, which we did one night. We all thought the food was delicious and the sunset on the bay was beautiful. Fort Morgan, right down the street, is worth a visit too. I’ve stayed in several condos and houses on the gulf coast and this is probably my favorite. I felt very at home there. I would absolutely stay at the Salty Lime again, especially if I was bringing my dog. I don’t think you can beat the pet friendly location!
