Cheerful 2 bedroom home on Miflin Creek

Like many Alabama girls, I've always loved the water. When I found this little mobile home community on Miflin Creek, I knew I'd found something special- a peaceful place to kayak,bird watch,fish, and enjoy the beauty of the creek. Today, I'm grateful to share it with my guests. Miflin Creek flows into Wolf Bay and the Gulf, yet you're only 8 minutes from OWA, close to great restaurants, and a short drive to Alabama's beautiful Gulf Coast beaches. I hope you'll love this place as much as I do.

The beachfront property is painted in a vibrant blue, situated between two other homes. A wide stretch of sandy beach is visible, leading to the ocean, where gentle waves meet the shore. A colorful sky at sunset adds warmth to the scene.
