Coastal Soul is a completely renovated condo on the Bon Secour River in the gated Galley community with a private community pool located in Foley and only 6 miles from Gulf Shores Beach, you truly get the best of both worlds the Alabama Coast has to offer. Aquila Seafood Market (home of the Royal Red Shrimp) is located a few miles away in Bon Secour. Go get your fresh catch right off the boat for your shrimp boil. Whether its the events in Foley, such as the Gulf Coast Balloon Festival, Tournaments at the Foley Event Center or The Foley Sportsplex or the OWA Amusement Park you are close to all the action! You can visit the brand new Tropic Falls Waterpark next to OWA or spend the day shopping at the Tanger Outlet Mall ! If itâs a day at the beach you want, itâs a short drive to Gulf Shores Beach, Fort Morgan Beach or Orange Beach or maybe a fun visit to the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. Gulf Coast State Park Pier is a short drive Check out all of the concerts and events at The Wharf Amphitheater in Orange Beach. There are 10 + golf courses within a few miles drive or you can spend a lazy day on the river in a kayak , fishing off your deck or watching the wildlife such as dolphins, pelicans, manatee and blue heron and much more. This rental is quickly becoming a favorite for photographers to get beautiful wildlife shots. Our favorite part of the condo is relaxing on the outdoor bed swing or in front of the TV on the spacious sectional. A relaxing meal at The Galley on the River onsite restaurant is convenient and so tasty. This condo has so much to offer including flat screen smart tv's inside and out. A grill for cooking out and a fully equipped kitchen for a family. Sleeps 5 or more comfortably. There are two covered parking spaces in the carport under the condo as well as a Tesla Charger. For security purposes only, there are two Poyasilon Solar Security cameras on the property. One is located under the carport and shows a range of the driveway, carport, and side dock areas. The second camera is located at the top of the stairs and is aimed at the door but has a range of the stairs over to the pool area and persons who enter or exit the door.
We loved our stay on the river, it was so quiet and secluded and just a short drive to the beach. My son loved being able to fish from the dock! So peaceful!
We booked this house for a weekend stay and it was perfect. Location was great, it's just a short drive from the beach. The neighborhood is quiet. We enjoyed watching the ducks and turtles. The house was spotless and well-stocked. The host was responsive and helpful. We will return for a future stay.
WOW! Our daughter was getting married 5 minutes away at Our Lady of Bon Secour with the reception being held right down the street at Swift Coles Historic Home. I first just googled something close. The pictures looked great so I booked for ease and convenience. Imagine my surprise when I got exactly what the pictures showed and so much more. The house was immaculate. It was well decorated, clean and everything seemed new. We so enjoyed using the pool right out of front door. We relaxed on the front deck and were entertained by the flying fish, ducks, geese, and had a sneak peek of an alligator. We had some special requests since we were getting in town for the wedding and the management made it happen. We ate at the attached restaurant The Galley and it was magnificent. Everything was easy and relaxing. We will be back!!!!
I highly recommend! Super cute little bungalow! It is a nice quiet area. Very clean and well stocked. Beds were very comfortable. Just a short drive to all shopping, attractions and beaches! Very relaxing place to stay!
We had a great time, definitely recommend this place! Perfect location on the canal and close to the beach. My boys had a great time feeding the turtles, ducks, and fish! Would come back to this location. Everything was easy from booking to checking out!
This property checked every box that we had. Absolutely spotless and the listing was accurate. I would recommend anyone who travels to that area to stay there! Perfect for the sports family!
We had the BEST stay! The condo is exactly as described, clean and comfortable. The peaceful evenings at the pool or fishing was an added bonus! Can not wait to go back!!!!
This is a great location, close enough to Foley attractions, but just far enough to feel secluded. Very clean and quiet. We booked the location for my daughter's soccer tournament instead of staying at the team hotel and could not have asked for a better location. We will be staying here again. Great access to Mobile Bay by boat and beautiful scenery along the way.
This property is beautiful and had everything we needed to cook and relax at home. Very CLEAN! The view of the river was awesome - we saw dolphins everyday. Birds were everywhere and so beautiful to watch - and no mosquitoes!
We had a soccer tournament for our son in Foley and chose to stay here over a pricey dirty hotel. The condo has a beautiful view and was very clean. We would stay here again! It was perfect for our needs. 10/10 recommend!
Our vacation at Coastal Soul was so very peaceful. The property was equipped with top of the line appliances and kitchenware. The beds were comfy and the views were beautiful. We loved the onsite restaurant as well. Check in and out was super easy. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us!
We had an enjoyable 1-week stay. 80 YO couple. Beds were good; place was well-equipped; quiet and peaceful despite being close to stores and AL-59. Would use it again. Nice change from condos on the beach. Saw lots of birds but only saw dolphins once.
This unit has high end amenities, super, comfortable beds, wonderful shower, and the community is amazing. You can feed the ducks, turtles, and fish from the deck! â€ïž
We were in town for our daughterâs dance nationals competition and found this beautiful place. Everything was exactly the way it was listed online. The beach was a short distance away. All of the amenities were so helpful especially the outside water house and shower. We loved the fully stocked kitchen so we could cook dinners to save from eating out every night. The host was very responsive and the neighbors were kind and it was just an overall great experience. We would definitely book this house again if we ever came back this way. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
The cabin was immaculate! The downstairs patio and deck were so cozy and unique. Being on the water and seeing all the wildlife (nest of pelicans across the river was amazing, families of ducks, fish etc.) The unit was very well furnished and equipped. We definitely overpacked! It was close enough to the strip and beach that it was no problem getting around to do all of the things we wanted to do in a timely manner with the short stay we had. We will definitely book again and recommend to anyone!!! We never had to reach out to the host because everything was PERFECT! We cant sing enough praise about this little slice of heaven!!!
Pack your bags and come sit for a bit on the beautiful dock or front porch. The cottage is tastefully decorated and updated. Kitchen is fully stocked for cooking on the new appliances. The beds are very comfortable. Water pressure is awesome, and the water is hot. Quiet neighborhood with kind neighbors. The community pool was well maintained. Our kids loved checking on the water every morning and evening, and I enjoyed the porch sitting watching the birds during the day and bats at night. Great communication with owner. Couldnât ask for anything better.
Loved it. It was our first time with VRBO so maybe a few things are standard but for the property management, consider providing more than 1 roll of toilet paper for a 2 night stay, family of 3. Also some dish soap would be helpful - we had to use hand soap to clean the kitchen counters and nonstick pans because I assume they shouldn't go in the dishwasher. The ceiling fans and furniture could use a serious dusting but the property was otherwise very clean and we enjoyed our short stay! Thank you!
Scott and Michelle Markel are from Ohio. We have family members in The Galley also so we enjoy spending time with them. Going to the beach and seeing the sights.
We chose The Galley because of the serene quiet nature area. It is also centrally located to anything and everything Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Foley, Fairhope and surrounding areas have to offer. Thereâs something for everyone.
The wildlife and fishing. Being right on the Bon Secour River. The gorgeous sunsets. Our unit is attached to the community pool so itâs just down the steps and your in the pool. The unit was recently renovated and everything is brand new.
