We had a great stay at Dylan's property. It was just what we were looking for. Dylan was a great host. We would defiantly stay he again in the future. Next time with the grandkids maybe.

Dylan’s house is -by far- my most favorite of the places I’ve stayed at. The area is absolutely beautiful. The local people were so friendly and kind. I didn’t want to go back home and definitely plan to book another stay at Dylan’s house soon. Thank you for your hospitality!

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 was the first Airbnb stay I’ve had where the host literally responds within seconds of every question I had. They were also Helpful in regard to renting questions we had about the area.

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.
