Christmas getaway
We loved this house, it was so cozy and we had some fires at night outside at the cute fire pit area. The boat launch was basically next to the house which made it so convenient. Communication with them was awesome, they even had the house decorated for Christmas which was perfect because we brought all of our gifts! We definitely will return. Thanks for the memories!!

Five stars!
This is probably the best kept place I’ve ever stayed. It was exceptionally clean and well stocked. Quiet neighborhood made for a peaceful visit. The driveway and neighborhood boat launch can be challenging if you’re bringing a larger bass boat, but with a number of other boat launches (including Waterfront) within minutes of the house that wasn’t a problem at all. There was even a place within walking distance to get firewood for the firepit. We would definitely stay again!

Fish and frolic
We found many activities to include all the family memebers within the state of Alabama. But i would say we were able to stay and intertain just as much at the VRBO at Scottsboro/Holiday Shores alabama. The home was so clean and neat, tidy and decorated so wonderfully to match its theme. Very spacious, and well stocked with every convenience available. The upstairs housed most of our group, we had my 70 year old mom in the downsatirs bedroom/bathroom, and our 80 year aunt in the upstairs bed/bath. The kids (all 4) found plenty of space and toys/games in the loft with hall bath, that me and my husband used since were in the back bedroom. The beds were all amazing, and we could find plenty of pillows and blankets through out the home. The Showers were amazing, so comfortable i felt like i was at home. And then the yard was spacious with a deck we could all sit on, a fire pit we used for a bonfire that had plenty of seating for all. The bbq grill was super and cooked a good birthday meal for my husband. The boat house was super handy as we had some in our group that fished day and night while there. And we thr ough in our floats, and the properties kayak right off of the edge of the dock. It was only 15-20 minutes in either direction to food, grocery, and activities; and had a little store just about .03 miles from the end of holiday shores road.
