3 Stories of Unforgettable Wrap Around Views!

GannellRating, 5 stars4 days ago
The house was beautiful just as it looked in the pictures. The views are beautiful. Good location. Community pool across the street from the house and just a short walk to the beach. The house also provides lots of beach supplies, 2 bikes, and 2 scooters. These amenities made it easier for us to enjoy family activities. This is a great house for a family vacation.

My wife and 2 kids absolutely loved our stay and we are already trying to plan our next stay here. Easy beach access and great location. Convenience store and restaurants right across the street! Theresa was kind and quick to respond. I’d give 6 stars if I could. Well worth the money!

BEACHFRONT PARADISE!! Priceless Gulf Views!!

CarliRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Tim & Patti’s place was top notch and well worth the money! Theirs by far was the best we’ve stayed in and would absolutely book with them again. It was everything we hoped for to make our weekend getaway perfect. It was home away from home. Even better that it was on the beach especially with kids. Breathtaking view off the balcony and loved that I could hear the waves coming in.

TRENDY & BEACHY 1BR w/ BUNKS ..Steps 2 SAND

AshleyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a perfect weekend getaway at Cheryl’s place. The place is perfect for two or a small family. Everything was exactly how it was listed. Cheryl communicated with us throughout the stay and responded quickly if we had any questions. The condo was exceptionally clean had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable as well. The beach is only a short walk from the condo. You can rent chairs/tent on the beach. There are indoor and outdoor pools onsite as well. The place is about a 20 minute ride from the city, but I enjoyed being away from busyness of everything. We really had no need to leave except in the evenings when we went out to dinner. We look forward to visiting again in the future!

Walk to beach, pet-friendly

MartieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The perfect getaway vacation place for you and your fur babies. The house was perfect for our needs. The only thing that was lacking was kitchen amenities. Then again, she didn’t list that it was a fully stocked kitchen either. You will have the dishes and cookware but amenities such as cooking oil and spices aren’t available. Looks like what other guests had purchased and left. Not a deal breaker for me because she had coffee filters!!! There’s also a Keurig there that isn’t listed in the post so if you like to use pods you’re in luck. All in all a great place in an ideal location!! We would definitely stay there again!!!! Thanks Ashley!!

2BR Beach Condo with Fabulous Views!

LindsayRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This is the second time we stayed at Christie’s place. Again, it was phenomenal. We absolutely love the view of the golf, having meals out on the balcony is amazing. It is so easy to walk to the water, like amazingly easy, four minutes at most. The kitchen has every utensil and dish you would need, we cook often here. Getting in and out is great, the indoor heated pool is nice for cooler or windy days. Our kids love this place and we are looking forward to our 3rd stay!

Lakefront Charm - Fun and Romance!

MariaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We enjoyed our stay at Debbie’s place. The backyard was my favorite. The water and the view were so peaceful. The weather was perfect which made being outside even better. The master bed was comfortable and it had a big bathroom that was super clean (the shower was a bit slippery probably due to water softener?). We didn’t cook, but the kitchen was well stocked. The couches are a bit old and a little saggy which wasn’t good for my husband as he has a bad back, but using some throw pillows helped. Overall, it was very enjoyable. Would love to stay again.

GabrielleRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Karin's place was the perfect place for my family and I. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us. I had a question about something and the response was in a timely manner. This place was definitely fully stocked as in the description. I didn't need to bring anything. The location was great as well, as it is near pretty much anything and only a short ride to the beach. I definitely recommend and hope this place is available our next visit!

Your guide to Alabama

All About Alabama

Known for its beautiful state parks, green rolling hills, and pristine coastline along the Gulf of Mexico, Alabama is a popular southern destination thanks to its diverse geographic features, historically and culturally-rich cities, and warm climate.

Outdoor adventure can be found on Lookout Mountain in the northeast with its adventure parks and zipline courses, in the sprawling Talladega National Forest’s rivers and hiking trails throughout the center of the state, and all around the placid waters of Lake Martin where you’ll find plenty of opportunities to get out on a boat.

These rural pockets of Alabama are iconic and beloved, and the state’s metropolitan centers have plenty to offer too. In many of Alabama’s cities you’ll find thriving blues and rock scenes, and a diverse array of restaurants both redefining Southern cuisine and carrying on with tradition. The capital city of Montgomery has the Civil Rights Memorial Center honoring the birthplace of the civil rights movement. The college towns of Auburn and Tuscaloosa display a strong devotion to football. Music lovers will want to check out the famous recording studios in Muscle Shoals, and the historic port city of Mobile displays French influences.

This largely agricultural state is also an excellent destination for food lovers, offering plenty of barbecue joints, Cajun cafes, farm stalls, boiled peanut stands, and opportunities to settle down at a meat ‘n’ three.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Alabama

The climate in Alabama ranges from temperate in the northern parts of the state to a bit more subtropical in the southern counties closer to the Gulf. You’re likely to encounter warm temperatures from fall to spring and hot days throughout the summer, with sky-high humidity levels. Tornadoes are fairly common throughout the state during the spring, and the severe storm season stretches from March through May, so be sure to heed any tornado warnings or sirens. The summer months are scorching, leading most locals to take refuge in the nearest body of water, and hurricanes can occur between August and November. Winters are mild with a couple of seasonal freezes. Along the Gulf, Mobile’s Mardi Gras celebrations throughout February are filled with parades, live music, and costume balls.


Top things to do in Alabama

Birmingham

Many mid-sized cities in the south have been garnering much-deserved recognition for their passionate locals and welcoming vibes, and the Magic City is no exception. Downtown, you’ll find the impressive Birmingham Museum of Art with more than 27,000 works, the Civil Rights Institute, and upscale clothing boutiques. The city’s thriving food scene is definitely worth exploring: There’s plenty of hearty southern favorites like fried chicken and biscuits being served up, but there are also James Beard award-winning French bistros or Latin American small plates cooked over live fire if you’re partial to fine dining. In the trendy Avondale neighborhood, you’ll find vintage shops, younger crowds sipping craft beers, and plentiful live music.

Gulf Shores

The sugar sand beaches along Alabama’s Gulf Coast and the neighboring city of Orange Beach are a quieter alternative to the lively destinations in the Florida panhandle. Here you’ll find plenty of seafood restaurants serving up Gulf shrimp and oysters, as well as gift shops, boat rentals, beachside bars, and entertainment options like the annual music festival that happens here in May. A few minutes from the center of town, you’ll find two miles of protected beaches at Gulf State Park along with hiking trails, a huge fishing pier, and picnic areas where you can soak in the scenery.

Lake Martin

Man-made lakes are plentiful in southern states, and Alabama’s Lake Martin is one of the largest in the world. More than 150 feet deep in some areas, visitors come for water skiing, swimming, boating, and fishing; to hike the nearby nature trails; or to simply relax in the lakefront cabins. There are almost 900 miles of shoreline here, and you can choose to stay near Alexander City for easy access to shops and restaurants, or head further afield for a secluded natural retreat.
