The property's cleanliness was above and beyond. The cottage had all of the amenities that you might need during your stay. The owners are very friendly and easy to get ahold of. Area surrounding the property was very quiet and safe. Would absolutely come back!

EXCELLENT

Incredibly peaceful vacation. My husband and I loved the quaintness and serene cottage and its location !! Sunrise and sunsets from the dock were a daily ritual. The cottage was so well supplied with everything you need when away from home. The hosts were readily available and super kind. Looking forward to going back next year. Oh... fishing was GREAT too !!

Perfect Getaway

The property was exactly as listed. It is a quiet area but close enough to the beach. We loved being able to fish and the grassy area was great for our fur babies. The hosts were great to communicate with and very accommodating. We would definitely stay again. .

Great spot!

My husband, our dog and myself enjoyed our stay a lot. This cottage was the cleanest place we have ever stayed in through VRBO. I know there have been other people that brought their dogs and usually our dog picks up on their scent but she didn't seems to smell anything while we were there so it was cleaned thoroughly before out stay! Nice spot away from the hustle and bustle of the city but not a far drive from everything we wanted to go to. We had a great time here!

Peaceful Vacation

We enjoyed being able to have parking space for our boat, a dock and close proximity to two different boat ramps. Sitting on the dock in the evening was beautiful and peaceful. We saw several dolphins. Owners communicated very well and were quick to respond to any questions.

Quaint and Quiet

The owners are very friendly and involved through getting you prepared to visit! The house has amenities such as spices, tupper ware, ziplocks, etc that you never see at a rental. We were perfectly located to everything in foley and GS and two seafood markets in walking distance were a big plus. You must also eat a Tin Top i cannot tell you have wonderful, you must try it for yourself!

Bon Secour Getaway

We loved our stay at Hytide Cabin between 6/22/24 and 6/28/24. Donna and Chris were great hosts and made sure our stay was comfortable. Their cabin was clean and had a ton of extra amenities. The set up worked great for our family. We traveled to the beach almost daily (only about 20 minutes with traffic), and it was nice to be close enough to food and activities, but in a quiet, secluded area. We also loved being close to fresh seafood and the dock was well kept with covered swings (both a short walk from the house). The locals were friendly, and the neighbors made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. We would definitely recommend Hytide for others. Thanks!

What a great place!

Everything was so clean and the decor was awesome. Much better than the pictures. We went to visit old friends and to fish. The dock across the street was great. Caught catfish and sailors choice. Husband caught a mangrove snapper! It was cool inside the house (70degrees), so I slept great! Cooked steaks on the grill...awesome. Thanks so much for a great place to stay!

This cottage was exactly as listed. There are so many good things I can say about this listening from start to finish. Donna was a pleasure to work with. She wanted to ensure that everything was perfect. The cottage was very clean and it had everything we needed. It was so comfortable and cozy that we felt at home. My husband and I needed this getaway and HyTide was the perfect choice for us. Actually, we didnt want to leave. Easy to say we will definitely be back.

Comfy Cottage Getaway

The listing pictures are very accurate. The cottage exceeded my expectations! It was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated and so very comfortable! Although the location is simple living, the appliances, countertops and furniture are more high end. The host couple is easy to reach and eager to please. Everything one would need is in the cottage. The hostess has done a fantastic job of anticipating every need. The recliners and the bed are very comfortable. It's a great sight-seeing base or a low-key, comfy place to hang out. I highly recommend the HyTide Cottage!

Leisure Time

The property is exactly as listed! Everything is extremely nice and up to date. Anyone that stays here should have everything they need for a comfortable visit. I’m sure if you were to need something extra that the hosts would try to accommodate you. The pier is set up for fishing and a cleaning station for your catch. If you are not into fishing it is also a great place to watch the boats come in and go out. It has plenty of seating and a swing all under cover. If you stay once you will want to go back.

Absolutely Wonderful

This place is everything as it is described and more . If you are looking for a place of relaxation and a home like feeling this is it . Not to far from town and shopping . The two seafood markets next door are both amazing with lots of choices to pick from of the freshest seafood . Tin Top restaurant a mile up the road is absolutely fabulous as well and try their sautéed crab claws . We loved being able to walk out across the road and drop a crab trap and catch the largest blue crabs we have ever caught from the gulf and have them for dinner . We also enjoyed teaching my son how to fish from the large and long pier . We saw dolphins each day playing around and some got pretty close to where you could really see them . The owners are amazing to work with and communicate with you and answer any questions you may have . The kitchen is fully stocked to prepare meals from bake wear to a cast iron skillet . The neighbors who live in this little community are so kind and helpful as well . We enjoyed meeting them. The fire pit located out the back door is an amazing little spot to kick back relax and enjoy a nice cup of coffee or hot chocolate on a cold evening. We definitely plan to come again and enjoy the little piece of paradise . Thanks for a wonderful stay !
