We most certainly enjoyed our stay with Dylan’s cottage! The stay felt like home away from home. Dylan was very friendly, and provided clear instructions for our stay. He was very thorough, and stayed in communication with us throughout our stay! The cottage is in a quiet area, very spacious, indoor and outdoor, great for your pups to run around. Overall, we would stay in this cottage again! Thank you Dylan!

Dylan’s rental was the perfect place to explore the local beaches. We were able to visit 3 different beaches from Dylan’s rental. We loved having coffee in the mornings on the dock at the creek.

This quaint little cabin was perfect for our family getaway. This was a great space for our 1.5 year old, especially the fenced in backyard. Dylan was very responsive, respectful, helpful, and friendly! We would absolutely stay here again and bring our pup next time.

Nice quiet location, just far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Had everything we needed for a quiet evening in. Thank you Dylan, and we will definitely look you up when we come back to town.

I took my pitty and beagle and also had some family come join before we left! Super nice place, super friendly and flexible host, and really nice place to book if traveling with pups 30 mins or less from the Alabama beaches and around 40 mins from Pensacola plenty of places to check out between I loved it 🫶🏽

Location

Elberta, AL, United States

Soldier creek is a couple minutes walk east (1 street over) with a short drive to multiple local beaches (exact address is in 3rd photo), shopping centers/restaurants, and an amusement park. Yupon St. water access/boat launch is a public boat launch just over a mile a way. However, long term tenants/snow birds will have full access to a deeded private boat launch one street over.
