We really enjoyed our stay at Dylan’s place! It was a quiet and peaceful retreat after being out and about during the day. The large, fenced backyard was also great! Our Great Dane really enjoyed the freedom and space and meeting the neighbor’s dogs for a few friendly runs down the fence. Thanks, Dylan!

We had a great stay at Dylan's property. It was just what we were looking for. Dylan was a great host. We would defiantly stay he again in the future. Next time with the grandkids maybe.

Dylan’s house is -by far- my most favorite of the places I’ve stayed at. The area is absolutely beautiful. The local people were so friendly and kind. I didn’t want to go back home and definitely plan to book another stay at Dylan’s house soon. Thank you for your hospitality!

Location

Elberta, AL, United States

Soldier creek is a couple minutes walk east (1 street over) with a short drive to multiple local beaches (exact address is in 3rd photo), shopping centers/restaurants, and an amusement park. Yupon St. water access/boat launch is a public boat launch just over a mile a way. However, long term tenants/snow birds will have full access to a deeded private boat launch one street over.
