That’s it — settle in and make yourself at home! I'm just a message away and always glad to help.

Gatsby and Beatrix specialize in moral support, sass, and virtual tail-free wiggles, while I handle the real-life stuff like questions, recommendations, and fixing things (really anything that requires thumbs).

While we are not local to the area, we have trusted local support available if something comes up that requires in-person assistance.

Whether you have questions, need recommendations, or run into any issues, just send a message — I’m always happy to help make your stay great!

📍Welcome to your home base in Foley — located right off of Highway 59 - perfectly positioned for beach days, theme-park fun, shopping sprees, and game-day adventures.

🏖️ You're just a short drive from Gulf Shores beaches, OWA, outlet shopping, dining, and local sports complexes, making this an easy hub for families, friend groups, and travel ball crews alike.

🐶 The neighborhood itself is quiet, super walkable, and very pup-approved — great for morning coffee strolls and evening walks with your four-legged besties. It’s residential, friendly, and ideal for relaxing after full days of exploring.

Close to everything, tucked away enough to unwind — best of both worlds.

🚗 Most guests find it easiest to get around by car. There’s free driveway parking available, and street parking if needed. Limited public transportation is available if needed. Visit the Baldwin County BRATS Public Transportation site for more info.

✈️ Gulf Shores Airport – Just across Hwy 59 with growing direct flight options! We are very excited about this 😏.

🐾 Our neighborhood is super walkable and pup-approved — perfect for morning and evening strolls. You’re just a short drive from Gulf Shores beaches, OWA, shopping, dining, and local sports complexes.

🌍 Need directions or recommendations? Message anytime — we love to share the hidden gems we have discovered.

Nearby highlights:
🏖️ Gulf Shores Beaches – Short drive for sandy toes + sunset walks. Our favorite parking spot is a short 7 miles away at 533 W Beach Blvd, Gulf Shores, AL 36542.
🎡 OWA – Rides, dining, shopping, and entertainment all in one spot, only 5 miles away.
🛍️ Tanger Outlet Shopping – local favorite just 3 miles away.
⚾ Sports Complexes – Easy access for travel ball weekends. ~ 8 miles north or south.
🦒 Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo – Less than 3 miles away (aka the best little zoo)

Hey besties — Gatsby here with a few friendly heads-ups:

🐾 This is a residential neighborhood, so please keep things chill between 10pm–7am. Even cool houses have neighbors.
🐾 While we have spots for up to 14 people to sleep, this is a family-friendly retreat — not a party house. Save the rave for somewhere else.
🐾 Pets are welcome (obviously), but please crate pups if left alone and keep them off furniture unless covered. Also, please perform pick-up duty in the backyard. There are poop bags ready for you!
🐾 The game room/movie theater includes extra sleeping spots (fold-out beds + air mattress). It’s perfect for kids, teens, or overflow humans.
🐾 We’re not beachfront — Gulf Shores is a short 7 mile drive away. Worth it, promise.
🐾We aren't local, but folks love us around here. We have trusted helpers nearby if something needs hands-on attention.
🐾 This is coastal living, so you might see a bug or two despite regular pest service. If something crawls where it shouldn’t, tell Mom.
🐾 Please be mindful with parking — try not to stack four cars in the driveway or block the sidewalk. Feel free to park along the road just in front of our house. Lots of neighbors (and pups!) love to walk this area, and we don’t want to be THOSE people.
🐾 Any locked closets or cabinets are for Mom's stuff. Please don’t investigate.

That’s it! Be respectful, have fun, and remember — good humans get invited back.
