Loved the pool. Great option to the beach that could be crowded at times. The house was very pet friendly and loved that we could take our pet with us to Tacky Jacks right down the road. Beach supplies at rental were a huge plus as well.
Loved this beach house! It had nice views. We enjoyed the decks and the pool. As a con, you do have to go on the main road for a little to get to the beach as other reviewers mention.
This was a cute beach house that was very clean. Holly was wonderful. We had a few issues when we arrived and she was very responsive! We brought our Boston terrier and the yard was great for her just watch out for the spurs that get in their paws! We were 4 adults and two kids. The kitchen had everything you needed for cooking as far as pans but bring extra paper towels, toilet paper, salt and pepper! The pool was very nice but would definitely recommend heating in the fall. The pool room was well stocked with several different floats. The golf cart is a must! If you are on the fence on that, just go for it, you will not regret it! Itâs not a terrible walk to the beach but with stuff and kids it will be less stressful!! Tacky Jacks is extremely close and a fun place to eat, we enjoyed it! Also, I recommend doing a ferry ride to Dauphin Island and eating at Pirates Cove. The aquarium there is fun too! The ferry is a neat experience!
Overall, our stay was good. However, the pictures were somewhat misleading. It appears there is a direct path to the beach from the back of the house, but this isn't the case. You actually have to walk along the side of a busy road to the next street to reach the beach. With a one-year-old baby in tow, this information would have been very helpful beforehand. Renting the golf cart was a good decision, but it was still nerve-wracking with cars speeding by at 50+ mph.
There were also a few minor issues likely overlooked by the housekeepers: no extra trash bags, no dishwashing detergent, and not enough toilet paper to last a full day.
On a positive note, the host was fantastic. Communication was excellent, and she was always responsive and helpful. She was also more than happy to let us check in early when we informed her we arrived sooner than planned.
Despite these minor inconveniences, it was a good stay, and we would stay again.
This home was just as described in the listing. The home was very clean. We enjoyed the location. Easy walk to beach. I would recommend the golf cart though. The drive way is on the main road and although safe to walk, the golf cart would have been a nice option. It was off season, so we drove our car over to the beach.
Views to the beach and bay are obstructed but you can see the water on both sides. The pool was very clean and a peaceful place to hang out. It was too cold while we were there to enjoy swimming.
As with any beach property, you have to watch your pets paws for those spurs. However this property had a nice yard that we could walk our dogs and didnât have any issues. Itâs just something to always be aware of when at the beach.
The neighbors were spaced far enough apart that it felt much more private than other homes. Having a decent size yard for the dogs as well as being far enough back off the street also made this property a favorite.
Ps. I was so skeptical when I saw this home had all 5 stars when I booked, but was pleased that it was accurate.
The house was very nice, loved the location and the pool. Rent the golf cart, it will make your beach trips effortless. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was stocked well, everything was very clean!
Very cute house, well stocked with kitchen and beach supplies, not directly on the beach but easy/quick access with the golf cart. Very close to Sassy Bass - great food! Cell phone reception spotty but youâre on vacation :) really enjoyed ourselves.
The house was absolutely adorable, your typical beach house. Kitchen fully stocked with everything you need. We loved the bed linens!! Thank you for a fabulous home-away-from-home. I loved the solitude of coming in January and having the beach to ourselves. We definitely want to plan a return trip. My grandkids visited and loved there was a sandy area with shells under the house to play in. Thanks again for a great vacation.
Family of 3 (including teenage daughter) really enjoyed our stay at this property. The walking trail behind the house had a lot of thorns that are quite painful to step on. We walked along the road to get to the beach without any problems.
The bedrooms at the house were a good size and the beds/pillows were very comfortable.
We were looking to get away from everything and recharge our batteries. This is exactly what we needed! The pool was a fantastic option to the beach and we spent time at both every day. The property was clean, well equipped, and exactly as advertised. We would definitely rent again!
Overall we had an amazing experience. It was beautiful and peaceful. The shed had many beach and pool items (boogie boards, floats, sand toys etc). The house was beautiful and had everything you need. There's an outside shower, which is extremely convenient.
Beware of the path that is worn down behind the house that takes you straight to the beach. The owner of the house behind this one will lecture you about cost of sand replacement, and nature. We started driving over to the beach and parking at a house my sister had rented that was closer to the beach.
While it is smaller than it seemed in the pictures, there was still plenty of space for all 7 of us. Quick walk to the beach and the pool was great for the kids!
Property was great, pool was clean and well maintained. Lots of sleeping accommodations. Beds were comfortable. Property was clean and everything was functional
This property was as described. The pool was an excellent bonus!!!!! Plenty of furniture outside and inside. We were comfortable and had so much fun. We had everything we needed for our vacation. It was too far for us to walk to the beach but we were able to drive and park on side street to access beach without any issues. Would definitely recommend this place for your Gulf shores vacay!

2 couples have come together to form MNM Properties LLC. Pat and Bonnie Murphy who already own and rent two homes in the Surf Side Shores Subdivision since 2004 decided in 2017 it was time to invest in another piece of property but wanted to find investors that would love the area just as they do. They pitched this idea to Ben and Holly Millman and together they bought the "Fish Camp" in March 2018.
We all love of the sun, sand, and surf they have remodeled the camp into a unique beach cottage escape. They have tried to think of everything so you don't have to bring anything but your suites and towels while on vacation at Making New Memories
The home is cared for by local individuals in the area. There is a local Property Manager and Maintenance Manager that oversee the property for MNM. This group is here to make sure you have a wonderful experience while at Making New Memories and we are hoping you will do just that - make memories that will last a life time and will continually call you back to our little piece of heaven on earth
