Overall, the stay was great! The house is very nice, and the beds are comfortable. The owners left a kind note and gift! For about a day we had no internet, and there is little to no cell service there. The location is not super close to the beach, but we made it work. The parking situation is definitely the worst part. Over all we paid an extra 130 in parking that is not totally clear in the posting. It says that there are two spots available, but you only have 1 parking pass included in the price. The 2nd is 30 dollars, the 3rd parking pass is 100, and you can only park in guest parking which can be pretty far from the house. The rental company was not super friendly when messaging with them before the trip. Like I said, overall, it was very nice. However, the rules and regulations of the complex that we signed after booking made us nervous and a little uncomfortable because much of it was not in the original posting on Vrbo.
Very nice. Kids loved all the beach toys and used your beach chairs. Would love to find out where they got those cool tall Adirondack chairs on the deck. I found some real similar ones on amazon. Only thing I can think of to improve is get a new outdoor grille. Would have loved to grill some fresh fish. Thanks for having us!
Sadly, members of my family had to cancel but I went by myself and had an amazing stay. I was entirely comfortable in this home. It was clean and beautiful and just a delight to stay in. It looks great in the photos and even better in person. The HVAC was perfect, bed primary bed comfortable. I cooked to take food to a gathering elsewhere in the kitchen and found it well appointed, there were a lot of utensils in great variety. Just perfect!
Good location, was as described. we had plenty of room. the screened back porch was great the outdoor shower was so nice for everyone to just rinse off before coming in the house.
Property was ready by the 4pm check in time and everything was just as pictured. Very clean and the shower on the deck was extremely handy after long days in the sand.
We love staying at the Rookery III and canât wait to return to the FT Morgan area.
Cute place but needs deep cleaned and items replaced.
This place is very cute but upon arrival we were surprised to see there was construction going on directly across the street that woke us up at 7:30 am everyday
The place needs deep cleaned desperately we found hairs everywhere and grime all over the cabinets, dust covering every surface. Most of the kitchen utensils are either broken, on their last leg or scattered throughout the very unorganized drawers. Pots and pans need replaced. All of the games are broken, missing pieces, etc. The dish box in the second king room didnât work at all. The bunk beds were definitely a plus my boys loved them but that room stays hot! The outdoor shower was nice to have after 5 people coming back from the beach!
Parking extra car 30 miles away from property is ridiculous! I had to drive 60 extra mile to & from to get my vehicle from the office . Need additional parking places on site . I will not be back because if this.
The cottage was perfect for our two families with small kids! It had a screened in porch that backs up to the nature preserve so it felt very private. We wanted something that was not crowded because of Covid and this house was perfect! It was about 30 minutes from all the shops, hotels, beaches and crowds at the main Gulf Shores but the public beach right across the street was everything we could have asked for! We got fresh fish from the Seafood Market and watched the sunset and saw dolphins from The Pines Public boat launch right up the street. The Rookery pools were fab for when the kids had had enough of the beach too. We will definitely be back, we had a fantastic time!
Property is very nice. Just like the pictures. Really could use dish towels and oven mitts. We had to buy some. Cook ware needs updated/replaced. Overall good rental, nicely decorated and very close to beach. We love the area.
The property was in excellent condition, a very beautiful house. The king bed in master bedroom was very comfortable. The house is beautifully decorated and weâd recommend this house to our friends.
We didnât get to use the pool, every time we drive by it looked closed.
FYI-the kitchen sink is plumbed backwards.
We have had a wonderful stay, and thoroughly enjoyed Gwin's Cottage! It was beautifully decorated, very clean, and comfortable for the 4 adults in our party. We were especially delighted with the fact that the kitchen was well equipped with dishes, utensils, and accessories. The natural habitat that surrounds the cottage makes for an incredibly peaceful atmosphere. It was just what we needed for our ladies getaway!
We had so much fun as a party of 10. the house exceeded our expectations. I wasn't as happy with the pool as the pictures advertised but it was an extremely enjoyable experience for all of us.
This is an amazing place to stay! We loved the house, the great location and wildlife scenery. All of our children said they never want to stay anywhere else! Parents agree! Thank you!
