Surf N Sand Cottage at Purple Parrot Resort!
Couldn’t recommend booking at Lisa’s place more. 10/10. Lisa was so friendly and hospitable. She went above and beyond for our family to ensure we were comfortable and well informed of all the resort amenities and entertainment/ dining around the surrounding area. Lisa was very prompt with n answering my questions and she was very accommodating. Everything about our stay was wonderful and we look forward to booking with Lisa again!

The cottages at Thai Win/Serenity
An absolutely outstanding location! The cottage is wonderfully secluded, providing a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. Inside, everything was impeccably clean and well-maintained. I must note, the king-size bed in the main bedroom was incredibly comfortable and you need to experience the master bathroom shower! The hot tub was perfect! Spotless and well taken care of. You can unwind in the hot tub while enjoying the sounds birds and nature. Amber exemplifies the perfect host! She was very responsive and courteous, checking in via the AirBNB chat to make sure we had everything we needed. Our entire stay was flawless! We were sad to leave and return home, but we can't wait to book again! Thanks for having us!

Riverview / Top 1% / Golf Cart / HotTub / Fire Pit
Teresa & John have created an incredible respite that has every amenity you could imagine. The home is filled with so many beautiful touches A well stocked Kitchen was great fun! Bed linens and pillows were the most comfortable we have ever encountered. The outdoor spaces: fire pit, screened porch, hot tub and grill were incredible. We enjoyed the provided water sports equipment that could easily be carried one block up to the public pier. Words cannot adequately describe how welcomed we felt! Thank you so very much for your hospitality and generosity.

Overall this was one of the best places we’ve stayed at. So much provided you only needed food. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again.

Cute Cottage Getaway Downtown!
Host was very friendly and reached out when requested in a timely manner. Home was super clean and had everything we needed for our four day stay. Ample parking and very safe neighborhood. Would most definitely stay again.

“Simpler Times” in the Pines! Fully Stocked Home!
We had a great stay in Dauphin Island! Loved how centrally located Karin's place was to everything on the island. We brought our bikes and had easy access to both east and west ends of the island and were able to walk to several restaurants right from the house as well as the beach! The house is located on a very quiet street, was clean and spacious and provided everything we needed to work (great internet) and cook/enjoy the island for the week!

Modernized 2BR Historic Home w/ King bed
This beautiful little place was just what we needed. We were visiting a relative in assisted living nearby, yet wanted a place to retreat to at the end of the day, close to restaurants and the beaches for our down time. Our host provided everything we needed and more: comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, great bathroom, and lots of extras such as nice bathroom toiletries, snacks, Keurig pods, sunglasses and suntan lotion, restaurant suggestions, beach chairs, a hose for rinsing off the sand..... We really had everything we needed and then some! We were within easy walking distance to a number of good restaurants, and easy road access to the rest of Pensacola. Quiet neighborhood for walks, no dogs barking, etc.

Tranquility Base Cottage
We enjoyed our stay so much! the location was peaceful and quiet. The cottage was super clean with everything we needed. We felt right at home. a short drive to the beach and shopping. We can't wait for a return trip!!

The Hidden Magnolia Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cottage in Fairhope, Alabama! The location was peaceful and charming, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The cottage was spotless, well-equipped, and felt like a home away from home. One of the highlights was the spacious fenced yard — it was perfect for enjoying the outdoors in privacy and ideal if you're traveling with pets. The host was friendly, responsive, and made everything easy from check-in to checkout. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Fairhope area!

Navy Blues Cottage
Cyndi was so thoughtful with a note and snack as soon as we got there. Her place is so clean and well thought out. Everything was perfect! It was a great stay and will recommend over and over

Bay Cottage- private pier, 4 acres, sunset heaven
Quiet and very relaxing. Dolphins out frolicking everyday and sunsets were beautiful! House has everything you need. Bring insect repellents as they could be quite brutal at times at least while we were there. We will be back.

Coastal Gem! 4BD-Views, Pool, Pier, Steps 2 Beach!
Sandi cared so much! she made sure we were comfortable and everything was up to expectation. Really great communicator and quick!

Beach Haven Cottage in West Side Cottages
Beautiful condo. Teresa was very responsive and helpful. We had some confusion at check in and she was immediately available and calling to get it worked out. Very clean condo! We enjoyed the walking path and the view of the bay. The walking path is directly behind the condo and leads to the beach- it’s about a quarter mile walk to the beach. We enjoyed watching the birds from the deck! The pool was nice, always busy! Overall the condo is beautiful just as pictured and described. Would definitely stay again.

Bon Secour Relax on the River - Riverfront House
We had a blast and this location was perfect. Great waterfront location with a great restaurant on property. The house was very clean and perfect. Absolutely no issues and will be booking this house for our trip next year

Peaceful Waterfront Cottage on Bon Secour Bay
My family and I had an absolute amazing time. I don’t think we could have found a better place! The cottage is FULLY equipped- not a thought was left out. The kitchen was stocked and had a few things commonly forgotten/don’t have when traveling. Plenty of blankets, pillows, comfortable beds, beach towels, etc. Also came with 2 kayaks and all the things needed for the beach (chairs, toys, etc). Plenty of very comfortable outdoor seating including a comfy hammock. This house had it all. Watching dolphins and other wildlife while sipping coffee on the deck was the best part of it. The neighbors were very quiet. Daniel and Juli were promptly available for anything we needed. A perfect stay! Will be back!!! Thank you!!

5003 Cottage 2 Pools, home not condo
Everything was excellent!!! We loved this place and definitely we gonna come back.

Newly Renovated Cottage: Close to Downtown/Beaches
This place was amazing! They had so many amenities to make trips more enjoyable. They accommodated a last minute booking and even turned the heat on so it would be nice and toasty when we arrived.
