Great place!
The property was perfect for us! Enjoyed sitting on the deck or by the pool. The neighborhood works well for walks. Plenty of restaurants nearby along with a Walgreen’s and Publix.
The owner was highly responsive to questions and was so helpful & friendly.
The two huskies with us did fine in the back yard - they didn’t threaten to jump into the bayou.
The bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, the laundry area was convenient, and the bathrooms were clean.
The beach is about 1.5 - 2 miles away. So, if you want immediate access to the beach, don’t stay here. It didn’t bother us.
I highly recommend this property.

Great Getaway
Five couples + 1 baby had a reunion in Orange Beach. The house was super comfortable, quiet location, pool was great. Dorenda is a super host. Thanks!

Great location and loved the pool!
Our friends and family were planning to go to the air show and this house was perfect for us with the 2 boat slips. Hurricane Barry messed up those plans, but we still had a wonderful time hanging out in the pool, playing ping pong, and foosball. The living room is very large and fit everyone comfortably when spending time together at night. Thank you again for sharing your lovely house!

AWESOME
This is an awesome property. The owner is incredible as well. Whatever the situation, this owner is prompt in answering and attending to her guests including the fur babies. There are pet beds, water and food bowls, "doggie bags" and even treats waiting for the pets. The owner was so very helpful to us when we met with some troubling boat situations upon arrival. She did everything possible to help us get the boat diagnosed and up and running. She goes above and beyond trying to make sure guests are comfortable and happy. The house was perfect for us. The boat docks are incredible and the pool is absolutely awesome. After having a horrible experience renting a home last year that was not at all what was pictured, we were skeptical to try again. However, this home was just as described and pictured. We are already looking at our calendars for booking again next year. The house is also located in a great neighborhood perfect for walking your fur babies as well.

Great Getaway!
The house was amazing and Mrs. Doyle was an amazing host! The house had all of the comforts of home and more. Plenty of space for my group to have a great time. She went above and beyond to make us feel at home and made our first time to Orange Beach a memorable one. We will definitely be returning.

Best rental on the canal!
Bayou Blessings is a great rental for boating access and overall location to Orange Beach! The property is very well kept and everything we needed! The pool was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely book this property again!

Senior Trip / Vacation
The house was just as pictured. My wife and our son have Jeep Wranglers so being able to park under both sides was perfect. Plenty of room in this house for everyone. Drinking coffee on the back deck was great in the mornings. The only thing that was missing was the boat:) Very close to everything. Awesome pool. My daughter and son invited a couple friends to come with us. Everyone had a great time. I have an English Bulldog and an English Mastiff. I love to take them with us on trips. They're family so I wouldn't leave them at home. I really appreciate places that are pet friendly. By the way my dogs had a great time as well. Excellent place to stay.
