We found this cabin on VRBO and vacationed here twice, so far. Incredibly nice owners and a…read morebeautiful house. It's not right on the lake, but up on a hill above the owners' house. But that shouldn't be and hasn't been a problem. There's an included six-passenger golf cart to ride down the hill and back up (and I guess to ride anywhere else, although there's really nowhere else to go within golf cart range). The house itself is more than a cabin. It is three levels of wood-walled beauty, inside and out. The main floor has a remote-controlled gas fireplace, a smallish TV and sound system, and several recliners. There is a dinette table with seating for maybe 8 and a kitchen with an island. The main bedroom is here, with no en suite bathroom...you have to leave the master bedroom to pee. But it is a large bedroom with east- and south facing windows. The lake is to the north. Outside, towards the lake, there's a protected wooden deck with a bench and a very large patio table and chairs. A screen door leads out to the gas grill and front porch. Heading up, there is a loft with two twin-sized beds hanging from chains. I never slept in these, incredibly. There's a desk area at the top of the stairs, overlooking the main level and a small balcony that looks south. Nothing too exciting here. There's a stairwell on the main level down to the lower level that begins right outside of the door to the main level bathroom and bedroom. I was never drunk enough to accidentally tumble down it, but beware this navigational hazard. And if you are taller than maybe 6'0" (I'm 6'4" and had to duck quite a bit), you need to proceed with caution, as the 90-degree turn to the left halfway down has a low clearance. The downstairs has a large common area, with a couch, big TV, gaming console, and a kitchenette with fridge. There's also a bathroom with a cool glass block shower. A bedroom with double bunk beds has a utility room with a washer and dryer...these come in handy if you'll be here for more than a couple of days. Head outside on the bottom level and you'll find a pleasant area with a fire pit (and supplied and seasoned wood), a wooden deck with a picnic table, which is covered by the wooden deck of the main floor. A concrete walk curves around and up to the parking area and main floor porch. The main floor porch has some comfy, rustic, wooden rocking chairs that are ideal for sitting in, drinking coffee, and appreciating a quiet morning. This is also how you enter the cabin when you get here. Overall, our two stays here were great. We'll be back, at some point. If you are looking to visit the area, check it out. [I took about a hundred pictures of this place and uploaded them previously, but I deleted them afterwards and they no longer show up. Sorry!]

I stayed at The Chari Place for three nights. The property was absolutely gorgeous, spacious, quiet…read moreand very clean. The Chari Place is a three bedroom establishment in a country setting with easy access to the city of Selma. Everything was up to my expectations, very cozy and great value for your money.

I highly recommend this property as a home away from home.

With 6 of our 7 travelers being high risk( 2 sets of grandparents, a 7 month pregnant daughter and a 2 year old with health issues) we will need to cancel our trip. Of course no refund now but they'll be happy to reschedule next year. (The rate will be about $1,000 more because of new owners) I don't think the beach will be open, and will we even be able to use the pool if we went??? Restaurants closed and shelter in place order??? Next year rental isn't feasible for us .... Also when talking to the rep on the phone, was told not to email the owner because he won't respond anyway.. she was sorry about no refund policy. STAY AWAY FROM THIS AGENCY. USE VRBO instead.... I will be giving this rental agency plenty of free advertising.... PM

In anticipation of my son in laws return from a several months long deployment to the Middle East aboard a USS Naval aircraft carrier, I booked a lovely condo on 30A, through VRBO and Sanders Beach Rentals. I originally booked this celebration weekend on January 17th for Memorial Day weekend this coming May, giving Sanders Beach Rentals the amount required to reserve. The second and final payment was due on March 23. When in early March the COVID19 crisis skyrocketed to the attention to the entire world, like everyone else, our 'normal' life was put on hold. My Son in Law's deployment was extended and he his now to be on the ship until at least mid June. My husband works for Delta Air Lines, and is not working at all for an uncertain amount of time. Our March 23 date of payment for the beach condo came and went and when I was finally able to speak with Sanders Beach Rentals, I was told I was out of luck. Not only would they not cancel my reservation and refund my initial payment (for a reservation that was 54 days away I might add) they would not offer a partial refund, an alternative date or a credit with their company. I called VRBO and was told that THEIR company was trying to assist their customers at this time of crisis, and they were certain that Sanders Beach Rentals would comply when they spoke with them. I am sure that Sanders Beach Rentals has very nice properties for vacation rentals, and that they do all that they can to accommodate their renters WHEN THEY ARE MAKING MONEY and the renters are on property, but I just wanted to share with anyone considering using them for their vacation needs ... God help you if you need some understanding and kindness, because it will not be there.

Gorgeous Venue, But Major Disorganization and Stress The…read morevenue itself is absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to expectations given the high cost. The flowers were completely wrong, and the coordinator--who was new--caused several issues, including handing out corsages and boutonnieres to the wrong guests. The timeline wasn't followed, and the flow of the event felt disjointed. My photographer even had to step in to help coordinate, which is definitely not part of her job. While I understand that the coordinator was new, it was still very frustrating, especially for the amount we were paying. My advice: choose the cheapest package and pick your own vendors for a smoother experience. The venue is beautiful, but the lack of professionalism and organization made for a stressful day.

We started a list of problems but eventually stopped because it was just exhausting. I could make this review ten pages long with specific problems but it would lead to the same conclusion. This place is an expensive dump. The owners clearly don't care and are milking this chalet for every penny they can get. They are slum lords, full stop, and I wish we had carefully read the reviews of this disgusting place before we paid $6900 for a weeks stay. To be fair (and this explains the uneven reviews) there are a lot of chalets on site and some are in way better shape then others. Sadly the largest chalet (#62), and likely most expensive, is in derelict disrepair. Under no circumstances should you stay here, unless you wish a bag full of fleas, filth and black mold to take home as souvenirs of your "visit" to the Pine Mountain Resort Chalets.

We visited a…read morecountry store just outside Marianna, FL and overheard someone say that Alabama was just 15 or so miles away. We were told that there were some interesting and fun things to do in Dothan, AL, just 30 or so minutes from the Florida/Alabama border. As we made our way to Dothan, we stopped at the Alabama Welcome Center. I'm so glad that we stopped! The two women working in the reception area were both very friendly and helpful. We visited on the first Friday of June late in the morning. They gave us a few pointers on what to see in Dothan like the many murals on buildings and invited us to browse the many travel brochures available. When we asked about the peanut outside the building, the two ladies told us that there are 80+ peanut 'statues' displayed throughout Dothan. Peanuts are a big crop in the Dothan area. We had fun trying to find peanuts displayed by local businesses while as we spent the afternoon in Dothan. Our favorite was the peanut doughnut man in front of the Krispy Kreme. The restrooms were clean and properly stocked. Large maps in the foyer area made it easy to see how we could travel the roads in Alabama. I never thought I would enjoy a rest area so much but the welcome we received plus the information available made our stop productive and fun.
