We really enjoyed staying at Leap of Faith for our April spring break vacation. We had 4 adults and 5 kids ages 11 - 18. The house had plenty of room for all of us. There were enough louge chairs by the pool. The front deck and swing was a favorite place for everyone. The kitchen is well stocked with enough dishes and bakeware necessary to cook throughout our stay. Loved the easy access to the beach and being close to town. Our husbands and boys had luck both pier fishing and surf fishing. The Hangout and Lamberts (home of the throwed rolls) were fun restaurants. We had a great vacation! Thanks.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, families with young children.

Beautiful House with owners that know true Southern Hospitality

My family and I were very happy with the time we spend at Leap of Faith. The house was very clean, had a lot of extras, and the pool was enjoyed by all! I'll let the other reviews speak for how wonderful our experience was. Fortunately, the owner of this property is as kind as the house is beautiful. We had the unfortunate experience of hurricane Isaac forcing us out of town with a mandatory evacuation. Throughout the process, the owner was very interested in helping us out as much as possible. It's hard to find people that care about other's they are serving in business, but I will say with great confidence, you will be treated with good old Southern Hospitality at Leap of Faith. This one point is the biggest reason I would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a great place to stay in Gulf Shores...with the service to match!Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

Leap of Faith -- A Beautiful Beach Retreat, Perfect for Families
Leap of Faith -- A Beautiful Beach Retreat, Perfect for Families

Leap of Faith was the perfect vacation home for our family. Perfectly decorated to my taste, the rooms were light and airy, cheerful and roomy. Clean, well cared for and with plenty of seating, the pool area was just right for our grandchildren. I also appreciated the proximity of Leap of Faith to the ocean (directly across the street) and to many restaurants, good shopping and most importantly to the grandchildren, snow cone and ice cream stands! I found the owners of Leap of Faith to be gracious and attentive to every need. I would highly recommend this home to anyone seeking a vacation adventure at Gulf Shores.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

This vacation home was great. With 3 generations and 3 children under 4, it worked perfect. We had plenty of room to be together, but space to be private. With four bedrooms and 3 baths no one was in any one's way getting ready. We loved the pool and the beautiful beach which was very convenient. The house was clean and had almost everything on hand you needed. Anyone staying here will not be disappointed.Just wished we lived closer so we could come more often! Thanks again, for sharing your wonderful home with us.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children.

This year was our second visit to Leap of Faith. Our family loves this house. It is perfect for us. The house has a king sized bed in three of the bedrooms, and you don't find that very often in a beach rental. It is also decorated beautifully and very comfortable inside and out. Going across the street to the beach is easy even with two small children. To top it all off, the owners are wonderful!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We were all so comfortable in this beautiful house. From the babies, to the Great Grand Parents. Never renting a beach house before I packed items I thought I would need only to find out that I did not have to. It comes really complete! It was super clean, and just lovely. Every one that walked through the doors just said WOW! Leap of Faith is waiting for you to help you have one of the best vacations ever. It will not disappoint you.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Stayed at this property 8/14/10 with family and friends. The house was as described and generous in size. We had concerns about having to cross the 2 lane to the beach. with 5 kids and beach gear we found the walk to be closer and an easier experience than managing the elevators and boardwalks at the condos. The 2 lane was often empty and the house was close enough for us to make trips back and forth with the kids for restroom breaks or other needs. Everyone loved the central location. We had our privacy at the house but we were miniutes away from anything we needed. The kids loved the pool. would stay here again!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2004
About the owner: We took a 'Leap of Faith' and built this house for our children and grandchildren to enjoy. It has been filled with a lot of love and happiness and given us many wonderful memories. We only hope that we can be a part of helping other families create their own memories and bringing families together.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
We love having the private house and pool for our family. The location is great because you are only steps from the beach without paying the higher price, and there is a vacant lot across the street, so you have a full view of the water. Also, vacant lots on the right to set up volleyball net or play in the sand.
