Finding the property was a challenge, especially in the dark and the listing does not provide any help in locating and typing the address in Google leads down the wrong road, otherwise house was clean and nice.

Reunion weekend
For the third year, we were so happy to be able to rent this property for a daughter who has elderly dogs who cannot be left behind but whom we cannot let miss our annual family reunion. This cottage is convenient to The Grand, where the reunion takes place, cute, comfortable, and just the perfect size. (And some of us enjoy using it to take a quiet little break from all the reunion fun!)

Point Clear stay clearly gets full points
This was our second stay at Porch Lane Cottage F in less than 12 months and we have already booked our stay for next spring. If you’re looking for a private and quiet vacation spot that is a short trip to many fine dining and shopping locations as well as beaches, fishing charters and other entertainment venues….this could be a great choice, just for the two of you. Located at the end of a lane in wooded seclusion off Scenic Highway 98, there is no noisy neighbors and loud partying late at night. We spent time shopping and dining in Fairhope, took two trips to the beaches at Gulf Shores, enjoyed two fishing charters with Reel Gypsy Fishing from Fort Morgan, took a day trip to Dauphin Island to shop, dine and swim at the beaches there. The cottage was rustic, but well maintained and clean with comfortable furnishings. We had great communication with the property managers throughout the entire process from beginning to end. The dollar value for that area was excellent. Thank you, Gulf 2 Beach and VRBO, for helping to make our stay a memorable one.

Rustic cabin in the woods
Neat place in the woods just across the street for Mobile Bay. Secluded, but in a nice neighborhood. A short drive to Foley, Mobile and the gulf. Reasonably priced. It’s rustic and meant to be that way. Not a 5 star suite, but we aren’t looking for that either. Had all the amenities of home. My kid loved the fire pit and outdoor shower! Would definitely stay there again.

Nice small cottage, good location, in need of maintenance
We were babysitting 6 month old grandchild and needed a little more space than a hotel room for nap times. Cute cottage, nice layout, needs general maintenance. Cold faucet didn’t work in bathroom, shower handle broken, peeling Sheetrock/paint in bathroom, couch supports lose or broken. Cottage had clean linens and was clean overall, Nice quiet safe location close to The Grand Hotel and a short ride to Fairhope. Enjoyed the front porch rocking chairs and appreciate provision of all basic appliances and needs.
