Perfect pet friendly home

Wonderful place for family to stay if you want to be close enough to everything but away from the crowds. Plenty of room for our family of 5 and our dog. Thanks for sharing your lovely home!

Best place to stay in Gulf Shores!

This was our second year in a row at this house and we already miss it. It’s located on the most peaceful little road,r right on the river. The house is huge! Plenty of room for the whole family!

Highly recommend

We loved this property! There was plenty of room for our family of 8. Fishing off of the private pier was the highlight of the trip for our oldest. We can’t wait for our next trip to this location.

Loved it! Great place to stay, we already booked next year!

We really enjoyed our stay! We'll be back again next year! Home was spacious and very clean, lot's of towels, kitchen supplies, outdoor space. Dock and view of the Bon Secour river was lovely. Neighborhood is very quiet, even though you're only a few blocks from shopping and restaurants galore! Lot's of room to park our boat and vehicles. Thank you Sonny and Penny for being so thoughtful and accommodating!

2nd enjoyable stay

This is the most comfortable rental that we have ever stayed in. It is like staying in a relative's home. Somehow it just seems really comfortable. We stayed here two years ago and plan on staying again. There is no through traffic. It's hard to believe that such a quiet neighborhood exists so close to the rapidly expanding areas of Foley. Penny and Sonny are super hosts.

Absolutely amazing house with owners who make you feel like family!!!

I have been a VRBO user for years, but I have to say my experience with Penny and Sonny made me a feel more like family members than tenants or renters. We took our fur baby Winston and he absolutely loved the place! Their home was prestine and loaded with everything you can imagine or possibly need for a wonderful family vacation. We had our boat and they were so helpful in telling us the best places to access the water from even down to where to find fish! Such a comfortable home with gracious host. Don’t pass on this rental, you will regret it!

STAY HERE!!!

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. From the check in to cleanliness everything was 5 STAR! Owners are absolutely amazing and communication was stellar! We stayed here for a week of softball tournaments. Our family had plenty of room. The pier was the highlight! Caught catfish, trout, redfish and mullet from the pier. Saw dolphins twice. Was told they usualy come through at 6am and 6pm. We saw them at 5:45pm one evening!! We will be staying here again at some point!!

Cleanliness

For the most part everything was fine I was trying to help out the morning I was leaving taking bed sheets off beds and found live and dead bed bugs. I had to leave pillows and covers that was used on the beds that had bed bugs so it wouldn’t be transferred back to my home. I reached out to the owner and Vrbo neither one could get ahold of owner for a refund since we are going to have to replace pillows and bedding er had to leave behind. I wanted to leave this review so everyone would be aware of the bed bugs before renting this home.

Home away from home

This was a super easy rental! We have stayed in vacation rentals many times, and this was one of the better ones! The house is very homey; it feels more like a visit to grandma's house than a rental property, which was great for us. Everything was clean and comfy. The wifi worked great, and everything was easy to find. The neighborhood was really peaceful and quiet. I would definitely stay there again!

Great place away from back

If you want a nice quiet peaceful place to stay away from all the hustle and bustle you can’t beat this house. The house is spacious, clean and well stocked. The only thing you can hear at night are the frogs and crickets. The river is only a short walk away. The beach a short drive away. We had friends over and they were really impressed with the quietness and peacefullness and the neatness of the house. Owners live next door, Penny came out and introduced herself and told us to call if we needed anything. Would love to go back again

The moment we walked into the house, it felt like home. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking to stay on the coast but not directly on the beach, this is your place!

Gulf Shore Gem

The property was located along the Bon Secour River and the pictures don't do it justice. The owners live next doors are so accommodating. Excellent restaurants are near by and the dock is relaxing and offers fantastic star gazing. We strongly recommend the property as it is a true value

My stay on the Bon Secour River

This would be my and my partners fifth year spending the winter months in the Gulf Shores Alabama area. Last year are state was not even close to what we expected which was voiced in a review of that property. However this year our property far, far exceeded what we expected and the landlords Penny and Sonny who live next door were more than gracious and personable to us along with everyone else. Everything was absolutely perfect and if I could give them 100 stars I would for the location, the property itself along with the neighbors. We liked it so much that within the first two weeks we reserved it for next year the only difference being we added a month to our stay. Anyone that wishes to stay here will not be making a mistake because everything that you possibly could want or see in the Gulf Shores area is within a 20 minute drive of this location.
