General overview
I love our open layout. I love the light from the windows and the sunroom that overlooks our pool patio area. It is a great proximity to so many activities and the beach!
The space
Our home is a 3br/2.5 bath. A queen size bed is in the master with the ensuite bathroom. There is a full-size bed in the guest room and another full size (top only, bunk bed) in the other guest room. The guest rooms share a Jack and Jill style bathroom. There is a separate toilet room and a separate shower room, as well as double sinks. Both of our bathrooms have tile shower/bathtubs with shower curtains. We have a laundry room. A dining room table that seats 6 as well as 2 barstools in the kitchen. We have a living room and a sunroom with couches in both rooms. We have a kitchen with all the comforts of home. Our sunroom overlooks the pool area, and the hot tub is on the patio area. The pool has a screen in enclosure.

April’s home is large, beautiful and comfy and located in nice area close to wonderful white sandy beaches both in Gulf Shores . if you want more secluded ones you’ll find them in Fort Morgan. Lot of things to do outdoors and great restaurants too. April’s Home was very clean with lots of spaces and a great pool area to relax around. April went out of her way to make it a very nice stay for us and we are very grateful that we had the possibility to stay in April’s home. We are loopings forward welcoming April and family to Sweden
April and her family were a delight! Excellent guest experience. We would love to have April stay at our home again. 5-star, 10 out of 10!
April and family were wonderful guests and a pleasure to share my home with. Great communication from start to end. I would exchange with them again and highly recommend them!
We were so glad Sofie and family had a lovely time staying in our home. They were very respectful of our property and our home rules. Everything was left in great condition and very tidy. We loved our thoughtful goodies we arrived home to. We cannot wait to come visit Stockholms next year :)
Ellen and family were very respectful of our condo and were great guests. We had a fantastic exchange with Ellen. :)
We had such a lovely time in Ellen's cabin! We stayed during the month of December, and she even had Christmas decorations up! Everything we needed was provided and she was so great to work with. The cabin was exactly as described and more!

My husband and I have 3 children. 2 of the 3 are grown and out on their own. Our youngest is still in the home. She homeschools and that frees up our traveling availability! Most of the time we will be traveling as a family of 3. We have just recently got a little more flexibility in our schedules and are hoping to do more of it.
Our secondary/vacation condo is in Orange Beach, Alabama. We have owned our condo for a little over 5 years. We love hosting families. While we have not participated in any swaps per say, we have hosted 180 guest stays and take pride in maintaining a 4.9 star review on VRBO. We live in the town next door to Orange Beach. If our schedules line up, we would love to meet :)
Our primary residence is the home listed. We are here full time, unless we have other travel adventures going on.
Would love to travel to:
I would like to do a few swaps within driving distance of around 10 hours or less.
We are passholders at Universal Studios in Orlando and frequent that area.
South Carolina Beaches or near
Florida Beaches
Open to more!
If you are a cheap flight from me using airports MOB or PNS, I would consider flying. Tickets are so expensive right now :(
