1st stay at the rookery

Review Submitted: March 23, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
We all enjoyed our stay at the Rookery. It was very well furnished and equiped for all our needs. Nice decor, It seemed very roomy and open along with the privacy each couple desired. Pool was cold, The hot tub was great though. We would most surely stay there again. Overall ,We were all well pleased with our stay at the Rookery.

Review Submitted: May 29, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
The cottage is very roomy and comfortable, The plus for us was that It was off the busy part of Gulf Shores and was a welcome get away. The pool was great. The beach was quiet and relaxing and is about 5 minutes away. The neighbors were very helpful and nice. And yes as advertised you can see local wildlife. We will defiantly be back again.

Very nice cottage, well-kept and clean. It is very quiet and secluded, so I don't think it is ideal for a bunch of teenagers, but our girls enjoyed the beach and the pool. I would highly recommend this cottage to others.
