Holiday rentals with lake access in Alabama

IT WAS EVERYTHING. I truly can't think of anything more we could have wanted. Scott is friendly, accommodating and responsive. Upon arrival, Eagles Nest was warm, inviting, and welcoming. And that was just the foyer. Walking into the main area was amazing. The view is extraordinary. Sitting on the couch and looking out, you can easily imagine you're sitting at the front of a huge boat. And with the double doors open...just WOW! The beds were heavenly, the place was super clean and the kitchen was VERY well-stocked. Scott and Shanelle are so generous; they include firewood, kayaks, giant Jenga and Connect 4, cornhole and boardgames galore. Even a s'mores kit! Some highlights for us were sitting on the beautiful deck as a family one night to take in the sound of the rain against the deck's tin roof and kayaking to Goat Island. The day after returning home, we all just wanted to go back! Scott, we can't thank you enough. You set a VERY high bar! BEST. FAMILY. VACATION. EVER.

It was 5 stars all around! The accommodations (comfy beds and well stocked) including views of the lake and great porch furniture to help enjoy it. Excellent communication. Exactly as it is listed - spectacular in all aspects. Full disclosure- I booked and came down ill but the group who has definite standards loved everything! I also face timed them and got to share the views which were stunning! Hope to book again one day!

Such a beautiful place to relax and have a great time! We stayed here for our son’s wedding and it was perfect! Thanks for hosting us and the helpful communication. We will definitely be back when we need a get-a-way!

We absolutely loved this place! The kids especially enjoyed the pool — it was a major highlight and made the trip even more fun. The home is secluded, which gave us peace and privacy, and the thoughtful touches throughout made it feel extra special. The bathroom was stunning, and the sauna was such a great bonus. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and just beautiful. Although we had to travel an hour to Huntsville for our activities, we didn’t mind the drive at all because we knew we were coming back to such a wonderful home. The host was incredibly accommodating and even allowed us to check in early, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend this place — we’d definitely stay again!

What a great place for a relaxing weekend! We enjoyed sitting on the back porch with a beautiful view. Our boys loved fishing off the dock and using the kayaks. The owners were very responsive and helpful with the incoming storm. Hope to return soon!

We had a wonderful stay at the Lakeslide Retreat! The house was beautiful and had everything we needed with all that was included in the amenities. We enjoyed the pool, and it was perfect for all ages. We rented a pontoon boat and had a great going around Lake Martin. It was so convenient to have the dock for our boat since we rented it for two days. Mary was a great, helpful host and always punctual in her replies. We absolutely recommend this place and would love to stay here again!

The home was super clean & nice! Jane was very responsive. We felt right at home. The pond was an extra plus. The kids enjoyed fishing. Will be back again soon!

#1 on our list of most comfortable and cozy homes we’ve stayed in. Beautiful surroundings, quiet and serene. Neighbors but with enough trees to ensure privacy. Host was very proactive and helpful. *caveat, there is no “close” grocery store, etc. so stop on your way in to get what you want. Easy access to water, fire pit was a hit with the s’mores crowd. We would definitely book again when called back to the area.

Everything was absolutely wonderful!! The location, views of the marina, a short walk to the beach 🏖️ my favorite 😎 a shorter walk to the pool, kids favorite 😍 great food, stores, putt putt golf, arcade and rides for the little and big kids too, just a short car ride away. My first time vacationing in AL, but it won’t be the last 😁 It was a great experience with perfect weather. Thanks again for having us .

This was a work related stay as I was working on the nearby Logan Martin Dam. This was a great location, very close to the dam. The porch and exterior areas near the lake were beautiful. Space was ample, I'd say the only downside is no thermostat for the lower level where the apartment is located.. All said, I am going back again in a few weeks and I am looking forward to the stay.

We had the best weekend at Jan’s lake condo. We rented a boat at the marina that’s just a few minutes from the condo. Our teenagers enjoyed the boat for two full days, giving us lots of time together that is rare with busy summer schedules. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking meals, and there are several great restaurants close by. We went to Chucks and The Landing at Harbor Point with a quick boat ride from the condo. Jan has done a great job of updating the condo with top notch appliances and furnishings! The two balconies were nice for watching the boats as well as geese flying in on the water. We had an incredible weekend and will definitely return!

This is a great place to stay. Everything was as described. Perfect distance to the beach. The pool was so nice and the sunsets over the bay was priceless. Looking forward to staying again.

Absolutely adorable place to stay in gulf shores! Extremely clean, tidy and cozy. Close to the beach to go enjoy your days by the water and in a safe gated community. Would love to stay here again in the future! Highly recommend staying here.

My family and I loved the place. All the essentials are within walking distance. Several places the eat, dollar store and ice cream parlor. While being this close to everything, the place is still so quiet and peaceful. The home was comfy and beautiful and we have literally zero complaints.

We LOVED this rental so much we extended our rental for the rest of our spring break. We were supposed to stay 2 nights and head to Florida but stayed 6 days at Stephanie and Chuck’s. It is a beautiful property. My kids fished and swam every day off of their fabulous dock. We rented a boat and had the best time on Lake Martin. Stephanie recommended a wonderful marina 5 minutes away. There is so much to do and see on the water. Our dog loved being able to run around, met the neighbor dogs and lay in the sun by the water. The accommodations were perfect. The kitchen is awesome. It’s fully stocked with everything you need. They really thought of everything. The laundry, extra bedding, corn hole, grilling, the fire pit, even a swim mat for the kids. The beds were so comfortable! We all felt right at home. Stephanie and Chuck are so kind, very responsive and had great recommendations. We will definitely be back.

My boyfriend and dogs stayed at Green Tea and it was perfect. The lakes trail was a great morning and night routine for us to get the dogs some exercise. Margaret was very attentive and friendly. I will definitely stay again if in the area!

This was a dream location and trip. Being so close to the beach. Yet on a quiet end was perfect for a family. The pool and dock created so many memories for our family.

Such a great spot on the lake and the house really takes advantage with great views from the living, dining, and kitchen areas.

We had a great time. The cottage is really neat.

Juju’s came highly recommended to me by two couples I am close friends with, and it did NOT disappoint! I had the most peaceful, relaxing time enjoying the beauty of the land, and all of the amazing seating the house had to offer while I was reading the books I brought. It was such a relaxing time, and I never wanted to leave. The house has such a sweet history and I appreciate that Matt + family are willing to share it with everyone. I’ll definitely be back!

Ron & Bekah's Cabin was a 100% hit as far as Airbnbs go. The place was peaceful and quiet, comfy and cozy. Very much a small cabin feel, but with enough room for everyone to have their own space. Our intent was to get some rest from very busy work schedules and this place satisfied that need to the tee. There was fishing and boat ramp access a few minutes walk away. If you drove, it's right around the corner. Although you're in the country, fast food, dining and Wal-mart are less than 5 miles away. The best of both worlds. Cabin was clean with plenty of items that people often forget available for use. There were some very friendly neighborhood dogs that greeted me and that kept watch while I was there alone. Tell your neighbors "Thank You" for the extra security. LOL

We had a wonderful stay. The location was convenient to where we needed to be. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was excellent!! The screened in porch was lovely and the entire stay was very peaceful.

Lee was great to work with and accommodating. Look forward to the chance to come and stay at Lees place again. Our grandchildren loved catching fish off the dock!

We adored this lake house. It was beautiful, the river was so much fun to kayak on and the large porch/patio was perfect for relaxing in the evening. We enjoyed s'mores at the fire pit and watching the sunrise from the dock. The kids enjoyed the giant Jenga set and playing Cornhole. The house easily accommodated my family for an Easter get together. 10/10 would recommend and stay again. Thank you, Kim, for such a delightful weekend getaway!
