We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The home was perfect both inside and out! The home had everything necessary for a delightful stay. The home is decorated flawlessly! We enjoyed our time outside fishing from both the dock and our boat. The cove was easy to navigate by boat. The dock was well lit making it ideal for nighttime fishing. The outdoor seating and hammocks are a perfect added touch! We can’t wait to return!
It was wonderfull vacation. We enjoyed the puzzles as our son was playing video games. We fished from the dock and boys enjoyed jumping off dock into bayou. Not sure who had the best cannon ball.
We went to Dauphin Island one day and enjoyed the beach.
My husband and I enjoyed our coffee from deck watching sunrise. Just was so peaceful and relaxing.
