For those that desire to 'shop 'til you drop', the Rivera Centre contains in excess of 100 factory outlet stores and is located in nearby Foley (approximately 10 miles north of Gulf Shores).

    The world's most beautiful beach is located approximately 100 yards from your front door. The home has a wagon for your use in carrying necessary beach supplies, chairs, etc.- most of which are available at the home for your use.

    Indecisive owner
    The property was fine, although there was sand in one of the beds and a towel full of someone's hair, but overall okay. However the owner (who consented to us bringing 5 dogs, which I paid an extra fee for) tried to cancel my trip less than 24 hours prior to our arrival for a Christmas vacation. I assured her that they were well behaved. Apparently she expected a SPOTLESS place when we left. I got none of my deposit back. If you're bringing pets just a warning - make sure they don't shed!!!!

    Great time at Busy Doin Nothing
    The house was very comfortable, spacious, and had everything we needed for a quiet vacation for my husband and I and our adult children. We will definitely look to stay here again.

    A Standing Ovation!
    We loved our month stay at Busy Doin’ Nothin’!!! It was perfect for us and our dogs. The house was well stocked, clean and nicely furnished. The back yard was great for our dogs. The location was awesome—just a couple hundred steps to the beach. We really enjoyed meeting and talking with our neighbors and several others who come every October. We had a little hiccup with our WiFi. The owner was immediately on top of it. We were sad to leave today, but we will definitely be back.

    Most Amazing Beach House!
    Our family had an incredible vacation/ baseball tournament! This home was spacious, clean with amazing quiet beach access just about a football field from front door to sand! Comfy beds, nice size kitchen open to the dining area and living room. Lots of fun beach things, enjoyed some and added to the collection! Loved the covered parking, in the ground grill, outdoor shower and hose to keep the sand down in the house. The 3 full baths made it easy to clean up after the beach, tile floors throughout were easy to sweep up, laundry area was nice and bright and the berber carpet was a bonus touch in the bedrooms. Overall, very nice for a very away vacation! Thanks Tina and Joe!

    Mostly Good
    First, the good- -the A/C is a workhorse. The A/C kept us cool the whole stay! -Location is perfect! Close to the beach. -comfortable beds -wagon, beach things, nets, and crab traps provided!!! -Tina is great and very responsive. Side note- the starter supplies were more than expected due to previous reviews and enough to get us started on our stay. Issue- -there was visible dog hair on the floors and sheets of one bed. Tina took steps to resolve the issue and I am satisfied with the solution. Overall the good outweighs the one issue and I would return again!
