Very beautiful house and wonderful location. Everything was perfect and April was amazing at communicating and giving recommendations. Will definitely be back!

WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING
The house and guest house were beautiful. 5 minute walk to a fabulous beach. April was extremely responsive to all my questions and needs!
April was a wonderful host. Pictures do not do the home justice. Would definitely stay again.
April was a wonderful host from start to finish. Communication was clear, timely, and thoughtful, and check-in was seamless. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed to settle in and actually relax. Anchor Down By The Dunes was comfortable, well-equipped, and in a great location. It felt like a true getaway rather than just a place to sleep. You can tell April takes real pride in the property and in taking care of her guests. We would absolutely stay again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this home to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-run stay. Thank you, April!
Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay in gulf shores. April was an amazing host as well.
This was our first time staying somewhere different in 15 years and let me say….we have found our new beach house! Not only is the property beautiful, well maintained and has all the amenities and space you could ever need, the host is absolutely wonderful!! When you have a house and property that exceeds your expectations and the host goes above and beyond, there’a nothing more to do than book your next stay! We are and we can’t wait!!
We had a fabulous stay! This place is a dream, especially for larger groups that want space to spread out. We had 7 adults + 3 kiddos at the property and from day 1 we all were discussing when we’d come back! An extremely clean & well thought out property and one of the few homes in the neighborhood with a private pool + hot tub. Two master bedrooms & 6 porches, 2 being screened in offered a lot of options for everyone to enjoy. April was a fantastic host and responded quickly to anything we had questions about! She recommended Jesse’s on the Bay, and it was hands down the best restaurant we ate at all week. It’s a little bit of a drive from other restaurants & things to do, but the house was 100% worth it. We would 10/10 recommend staying here!
Our family had a wonderful stay in both the main and guest house this summer. The house is basically brand new, and very well appointed with high-end finishes throughout. Our group consisted of adults and small children, and the house was a perfect fit. Most of the rooms have en suite baths, making it very comfortable and private for each couple/group. The location allows for a very short walk to beach access. With the pool, spa, and game room, there is plenty to occupy time, even on rainy days or during cooler seasons. The beaches here are clean and peaceful, as the Kiva development is much more sparsely populated than the dense high-rise areas. Our group included well traveled golfers, and the course is as good or better than anything in the region, in terms of both design and conditions. The owner was extremely responsive and accommodating both before and during our visit. It is clear they are not just a property manager, but an owner that is fully invested in their guest's experience. We could not have been happier with everything, and this property will be our first choice the next time we plan a trip the the area!
