The property's cleanliness was above and beyond. The cottage had all of the amenities that you might need during your stay. The owners are very friendly and easy to get ahold of. Area surrounding the property was very quiet and safe. Would absolutely come back!

Very nice, clean and quiet, a wonderful pier across the street.

It is away from all the touristy stuff , but still close to all we needed and some very good restaurants.

Last minute get away...

We absolutely adored this home and the location. It was so clean and very relaxing. We also loved the fact that we could bring our Yorkie. We will definitely rent this home in the future.

Relaxing getaway

We had a wonderful stay at hytide. It is off the beaten path witch makes it a perfect p!ace to kick back and unwind. We loved Billy's fish market that is just down the street,but I think our favorite thing is that the beach is just a short car ride away. We can't wait to come back.

Perfect Getaway

The property was exactly as listed. It is a quiet area but close enough to the beach. We loved being able to fish and the grassy area was great for our fur babies. The hosts were great to communicate with and very accommodating. We would definitely stay again. .

Vacation Getaway

My husband and I needed to get away and relax. This cottage was all that and more, great location, very clean, close enough to everything you want to do. Beautiful dock with the swinging chair to sit on and watch the sun go down. Best of all we could bring our pup and have a fun vacation! And so many great places to eat, Hytide Cottage we will come back! (And the owners are very nice!)

Peaceful Vacation

We enjoyed being able to have parking space for our boat, a dock and close proximity to two different boat ramps. Sitting on the dock in the evening was beautiful and peaceful. We saw several dolphins. Owners communicated very well and were quick to respond to any questions.

Roomy, comfortable, clean house

We had lots of space for a couple. The house was very clean and we loved the decor. Donna called us the day of to make sure we were all set for check in and was easy to get in touch with over the weekend when we needed help with the AC. The bed was comfortable.

Relaxing getaway

Thank you Chris & Donna! Hytide cottage was an amazing place to get away before the holidays. Quiet, beautiful view of river, close fresh markets, and cottage equipped to make meals. The best part we were able to bring our whole family, including furkids!! Sable, Goldie, & Shaggy were so excited & enjoyed visiting all the surrounding dog parks. We're even found a couple of dog friendly restaurants.

Bon Secour Getaway

We loved our stay at Hytide Cabin between 6/22/24 and 6/28/24. Donna and Chris were great hosts and made sure our stay was comfortable. Their cabin was clean and had a ton of extra amenities. The set up worked great for our family. We traveled to the beach almost daily (only about 20 minutes with traffic), and it was nice to be close enough to food and activities, but in a quiet, secluded area. We also loved being close to fresh seafood and the dock was well kept with covered swings (both a short walk from the house). The locals were friendly, and the neighbors made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. We would definitely recommend Hytide for others. Thanks!

Great stay

This cottage was exactly as listed. There are so many good things I can say about this listening from start to finish. Donna was a pleasure to work with. She wanted to ensure that everything was perfect. The cottage was very clean and it had everything we needed. It was so comfortable and cozy that we felt at home. My husband and I needed this getaway and HyTide was the perfect choice for us. Actually, we didnt want to leave. Easy to say we will definitely be back.

Comfy Cottage Getaway

The listing pictures are very accurate. The cottage exceeded my expectations! It was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated and so very comfortable! Although the location is simple living, the appliances, countertops and furniture are more high end. The host couple is easy to reach and eager to please. Everything one would need is in the cottage. The hostess has done a fantastic job of anticipating every need. The recliners and the bed are very comfortable. It's a great sight-seeing base or a low-key, comfy place to hang out. I highly recommend the HyTide Cottage!

Leisure Time

The property is exactly as listed! Everything is extremely nice and up to date. Anyone that stays here should have everything they need for a comfortable visit. I’m sure if you were to need something extra that the hosts would try to accommodate you. The pier is set up for fishing and a cleaning station for your catch. If you are not into fishing it is also a great place to watch the boats come in and go out. It has plenty of seating and a swing all under cover. If you stay once you will want to go back.

Perfect Place To Relax

HyTide is everything you see in the pictures! Get ready to leave the outside world behind ! You will naturally slip into the slower pace of living ! You have everything you need at your fingertips! We wanted a place away from the noise and crowds ! HyTide gets a 10 !! The dock and the river are perfect to kick back and catch the beautiful sunsets! The shrimp boats that come in and out bring in something for every seafood lover ! Chris and Donna are the BEST !! They are ready to help and answer any questions you have ! Having the furbabies on the trip made it feel like home away from home ! The week was over way to fast ! We absolutely didn't want to leave ! HyTide is a treasure can't wait to get back for the next visit !! Thank you Chris and Donna ! Lisa 7/27/21

Absolutely Wonderful

This place is everything as it is described and more . If you are looking for a place of relaxation and a home like feeling this is it . Not to far from town and shopping . The two seafood markets next door are both amazing with lots of choices to pick from of the freshest seafood . Tin Top restaurant a mile up the road is absolutely fabulous as well and try their sautéed crab claws . We loved being able to walk out across the road and drop a crab trap and catch the largest blue crabs we have ever caught from the gulf and have them for dinner . We also enjoyed teaching my son how to fish from the large and long pier . We saw dolphins each day playing around and some got pretty close to where you could really see them . The owners are amazing to work with and communicate with you and answer any questions you may have . The kitchen is fully stocked to prepare meals from bake wear to a cast iron skillet . The neighbors who live in this little community are so kind and helpful as well . We enjoyed meeting them. The fire pit located out the back door is an amazing little spot to kick back relax and enjoy a nice cup of coffee or hot chocolate on a cold evening. We definitely plan to come again and enjoy the little piece of paradise . Thanks for a wonderful stay !

Quaint and Quiet

The owners are very friendly and involved through getting you prepared to visit! The house has amenities such as spices, tupper ware, ziplocks, etc that you never see at a rental. We were perfectly located to everything in foley and GS and two seafood markets in walking distance were a big plus. You must also eat a Tin Top i cannot tell you have wonderful, you must try it for yourself!
