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!

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

🐾 This is a residential neighborhood, so please keep things chill between 9pm–8am. 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 and a poop scoop 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 of parking — try not to stack four cars in the driveway or block the sidewalk. Feel free to park along the road in front of our house during the day. 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.
