This was a lovely home. We had everything we needed. My only wish is that Rookery III had a hot tub like I and II.
We loved staying here! The kids enjoyed the bunk room. The house was adorable and we enjoyed the pool and proximity to the beach.

We had a wonderful stay with our multi generational family. Home was very clean and well organized with fun beach decor. The only issues we had were very minor and we easily adjusted (only 5 forks for 6 people and a cracked wine glass). I would definitely recommend this place and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

We greatly enjoyed our stay. The space was ample and well-appointed with convenient access to the great vacation experiences around the Gulf Shores, which made for a memorable and relaxing time.
We LOVED this home! We’re from a very rural area, so we loved that it wasn’t right in the middle of the hustle and bustle....but still an easy drive to wherever we wanted to be. The house was clean, well equipped and adorable! The check-in process was easy, and there was lots of communication about the process and expectations. A bonus...the screened in porch was AMAZING! We’re already planning our return trip!
We really had a wonderful time And loved how we weren't too far from the beach I'm truly looking to do it again next year
