Beachfront bay and gulf , lookout and pier , crab traps , fishin poles !!

For families with small children, having access to the shallow, calmer water of the Mississippi Sound works way better than the churning water on the Gulf.

Great place! Pictures did not do it justice. Great outside deck facing the bay side while listening to the waves from the gulf side behind you. We had so much fun fishing off the dock at night and even saw some dolphins swimming in the bay. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here!

The owner was easy to communicate with and the place was as pictured. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return next year!

The good: The view of the bay area from the house is gorgeous. We made great memories walking out to the beach area, at the beach and on the pier. The pier was good to fish from and to catch crabs at with the provided crab traps. The location of the house was great - being at the west end was nice for us. The kitchen was big enough for us to all work around one another while cooking and preparing food. The ice maker was a happy bonus! The island was welcoming.The Not so Good: The problem we had was with cleanliness, which was very disappointing. The grill and green egg were disgustingly dirty and had to be scrubbed and scoured in order for us to use them. The comforter in the master bedroom had dog hair all over it, as did the clothes washer and dryer. We were unsuccessful in getting the dog hair out of the washer - it seemed to return upon each attempt at washing our towels. There was dog hair on the table runner. There were crumbs, dirt, crayons and miscellaneous items (including more dog hair) under the beds, in dresser drawers and under counters. I did let the owners know about these things. We didn't have working internet until our 6th day and the tv in the main room had to have a replacement brought in on our 4th day. The cloth furniture smelled like animals. I think it's wonderful to be able to bring your pets, but I am not a fan of sitting in animal hair or having it on my dinner table. For the amount of money we paid for the week, I expected a clean home to stay in.
