MAN, THIS IS A WONDERFUL PLACE!

My fiance and our our 2 girls visited this lovely getaway the day after Thankgiving from Tennessee. We were planning on staying here while we waited until my family reunion the following day. Additionally, his daughter's birthday was 2 days after our arrival. We visited Bay Towne Warf on one night of our stay. They had a Santa Parade put on by the locals on their golf carts, played "A Christmas Carol" on the lawn, had a live Santa, an Ice Skating Rink, face painting and the list goes on and on (a must visit while here). We got lost on our way to Mobile AL and missed the reunion. But we did not care. Although it was a bit chilly, we all enjoyed the BEAUTIFUL beach as emrald as it can be and the warm hot tub for all of us to swim in with a pool side bar and resturant with all the food and adult beverages we may want (we packed a picnic for the day). The girls loved sharing the 2 twin bedroom with their own DVD player to watch the movies we packed. We love OUR hideaway with large windows almost floor to ceiling, wall to wall with a door going out onto the balcony. With 2 bathrooms, their was no reason to worry about room and each was as well appointed as the bedrooms. We felt like we were in luxury without the price. It was nice going to the grocery store, grabbing some food and stay in with all of us and have a FULL amenity kitchen while listening to the ocean as we left the sliding glass door open. It was also a wonderful luxury to have a washer and dryer for all the sand, wet clothes and "minor" accidents we may have with a newly potty trainer. We enjoyed having a full oven for cinnamon rolls early in the AM accompanied by coffee with the doors open as well. Wear the kids out, put them to bed and you would almost not know they were there. The location of the rooms were wonderful. I must say, go have some waffles and a Bloody Mary at "Another Broken Egg" in Bay Towne Warf and enjoy life size checkers and the lovely atmosphere. We have rented thus far from 3 people total from VRBO and I have to say, the photos are on point (most are misleading), the resort was more than accomadating (would love to see it in the on season though I loved the quietness), friendly neighbors, easy location, great resturants and man the rest goes on and on. We planned on 3 nights, but called & asked for 1 more night. I have had 1 friend stay here since and have 2 more looking into it as I finally decide to type this review. Hope this helps and know, MAN, THIS IS A WONDERFUL PLACE!
