About Susan

We are a family with school aged children. We fell in love with the white sand beach and family-friendly atmosphere of Gulf Shores and decided to put our retirement savings into several houses here with the idea that we would rent them for 20 years and then be able to enjoy the benefits. We didn't expect that a job would bring us to live in Gulf Shores but it is definitely easier to take care of our guests from here! And we now take care of some of our neighbor's vacation rentals as well in case you need several houses together.

Susan purchased this house in 2005
Why Susan chose Gulf Shores

This is the house where we want to retire! We love having the Lagoon right in the backyard. We love to catch fish or crab for dinner, bring a boat and keep it right behind the house, float on a raft in the gentle lapping water, or walk a few hundred feet over to the gorgeous stretch of Gulf Coast beach.

It is a wonderful, quiet cul de sac with nice neighbors and wonderful views.

What makes this house unique

We love the 3 levels of porches and great fishing. You can bring a boat or jet skis, or rent a pontoon boat for a day and have it delivered. For our children and their cousins, the upstairs family room provides them with them with their own space to gather, when we finally get them in from collecting hermit crabs or fishing on the pier!

We took our three sons and their families to Gulf Shores for Spring Break. It was to celebrate our 50th anniversary. There are 8 grandkids ages 9-18. They enjoyed the fishing and crabbing in the Lagoon and the short walk to the Gulf was perfect. The house worked out great for us. We also went to Fort Morgan, and to the Blue Angel. We ate at the Steamer and at Lulus' I also did some geo-caching with the grandkids. We had a very nice time here and Susan and Geoff are great property owners. Thank you very much.

Three generations of our family gathered here and all agreed the house was a perfect choice. Southern breeze was everything we needed for our family reunion -- well kept, spacious home; lagoon location with a dock; numerous beach toys and equipment; close by beach; convenient area shopping; and diligent property owners. Both the beautiful sunsets and sunrises could be seen from the deck. The extra living room upstairs was perfect for the kids to have their space. We all took the Ft. Morgan Ferry to Daughin Island and walked to the estuarium, which was a great adventure.

Thank you Susan and Geoff

The beach was nice, the bay was nice but the overall experience was average at best. First of all, it rained the first 2 days - not the home owner's fault - however, the back deck cover leaks badly an it was impossible to sit and enjoy the rain. Second, the swing has been poorly installed and may pose a safety hazard because the attachments move indicating an inadequate install. Third, the den tv flickers and skips video and audio making it annoying to watch. Fourth, the king size sheets need replacing. Fifth, the towels need replacing - they are cheap and don't fit the rest of the very nice decor. We weren't expecting the Ritz Carlton, but we did expect everything to work.

Owner's Response: One of the good things about renting directly from an owner is that you can contact them when you have issues--AND YOU SHOULD!!! We live here in town and want to hear when our guests have problems. Most of these are easily fixed if we just know about them. We did speak with these guests during their stay and they didn't mention any of these things except their frustration about the rain-related leak on the porch. That was completely understandable. Unfortunately that one was caused by much heavier than normal rains and we needed dry weather to fix it. Our swing is safely installed, but has different hardware than most swings. The hardware is hidden by the ceiling so someone unfamiliar with it would not know the hangers are supposed to slide. The TV had a loose connection. Upon reading the review we drive to the house and tightened it--all done. Not sure why 3 month old rather expensive sheets would need replacing but given the guests the week before these guests left the house in need of a bit of additional cleaning, our housekeeper may have had to put substitutes on. The towels were definitely not our normal ones. Would have been happy to switch them all out. Bottom line, please call us if there is a problem. Chances are really good we can fix it within hours if only we know.

We really enjoyed our stay at Southern Breeze. The pier out back was great for the kids to fish and catch lots of crabs! We loved our time on the beach and all the great shops and restaurants in Gulf Shores. Lulu's was great and also the Steamer! We will miss our time here!

We love this house so much! This was our very first family vacation we have ever taken. It's been the most amazing trip! This house is in the perfect location. We love everything about this house. The sunsets are beautiful here. We even saw a sting ray. The Hangout was the funnest place. There are so many people there and a live bank. It's got a good environment. All the shops were great, too. We were at Wave's Market almost everyday--we loved that place and it was close. ... The neighbors are very nice, too. You guys have been the best. Thanks for making our first family vacation one to remember.
