The photos of this house were almost too good to be true, but they were correct. We took our children and our two grandchildren for a relaxing stay at Water's Edge. The house was well maintained. The house was very well furnished and the kitchen was well equipped. There was also a generous amount of linens. We enjoyed all the amenities on offer. It was fabulous to have a house right on the beach. One of the best features was the key pad which enabled all of us to enter the house without a key. We really enjoyed this feature as well as the elevator. Made the unpacking and packing much easier. Any questions we had were answered in a friendly, timely manner. We want to go back!!!!!!! We can recommend this house without any qualms..Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks for the review! Glad you had a great time.

Our group had a wonderful stay at Water's Edge. The home is very spacious and comfortable. Most importantly it was very clean. We have professional cleaners in our group who were impressed. Unlike most rentals, everything in the home worked and was as pictured. The weather was sometimes uncooperative which provided a good excuse to appreciate the beach view from inside.Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, age 55+, girls getaway.

Wow, this home not only met but exceeded our expectations. Our family now has such joyful memories of our Spring Break spent here in this wonderful Gulf Shores home. This beautifully-appointed stead had every amenity you would possibly desire ranging from free Wi-Fi connection, a kitchen with every appliance or cookware item you need (including an ice maker, and all nicely organized, I might add), two charcoal grills downstairs, a washer/dryer, beautiful views, direct beach access and plenty of space for the family to spread out. And being able to bring our small dog was an absolute joy - he is part of the family, after all. We particularly enjoyed the open kitchen and living space. And every room in the house was so incredibly comfortable - having the choice of 3 master bedrooms with king beds was a significant consideration in our choice of a beach home and we were so pleased to have that option here. In addition, my mother and aunt were able to use the elevator (although, sometimes I suspect, possibly just for fun :) We also enjoyed watching dolphins in the surf from the patios each day. We highly recommend this home for family gatherings and any other event were you aim to have ever-lasting memories. The owners have done a fantastic job here.Did you find this review helpful?

My husband and I stayed in this house for five nights with our three adult children, their spouses, and our 3 year old grandson. Whoever said that the pictures don't do it justice was correct. It is simply beautiful. All the beds have good mattresses with quality bedding. Everything works correctly and it was very, very clean. Clean is always a top priority for us. The kitchen is super well equipped, with even a kitchen aid stand mixer, waffle iron, etc. Our daughter, who is seven months pregnant, was thrilled with the elevator. She was able to come in from the beach, rinse off their three year old under the house, and ride the elevator to the third floor to their room. We were so excited to see so much marine life while there. We saw dolphins every day, sometimes throughout the day, but always in the mornings, swimming close to shore even. We loved walking down to the cut where the tide goes in and out of the lagoon, and watching the fishermen. Even got to watch a few sting rays there one day. We would recommend this house to anyone, and would love to stay there again. The only bad thing about our stay was having to leave!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children, girls getaway.

We brought our entire family, my mom, my mother-in-law, my uncle, our sons, their wife and girlfriend, our grandson, and our dog! What a fabulous place to stay and have enough room for everyone to be as together or as apart as they wanted to be. Everyone had a wonderful time...the house was huge, well maintained, clean, modern, and had everything that we could have wanted. Stephanie (owner) was great to deal with and responded to our every need or question. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a "care free" vacation, and it's location is close to everything, the beach is amazing!!! We will be returning, hopefully later this year or next, and will be bringing friends!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Our 8 days with 11 people were spent here over Christmas week. Our family consisted of Grandma, 2 couples and children 21, 20,18, 16, 14, and 8. It was simply wonderful. Everything in the home is well kept, clean, in working order, and beautifully decorated. Every bed is so comfortable with excellent bedding right down to the bunk beds. The upstairs master suite is a dream, and having 2 bedroom suites is perfect for more than one couple staying together. This is not something you typically find. The house is much bigger and prettier than the pictures can portray. The location was wonderful. We spent most of our time right at the house and on the beach just steps away. We watched dolphins jumping in the ocean from the porch. There are lots of great restaurants and shopping very near by. None of us wanted to leave and all we can talk about it is how much we want to go back. The owner is very pleasant and accommodating. The keyless entry is a great idea. Don't wonder if this is the place to stay- just do it. You will not be dissapointed.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Had a surprise birthday party at this gorgeous home for a great long weekend!! This home was very tastefully decorated, and not your typical beach home. The pictures that are posted do not do the home justice. We had 16 adults and all were able to sleep very comfortably and no one had to sleep on an air mattress. This home is perfect for entertaining or just relaxing by the beach. The homeowners were simply great. I would highly recommend this home and will stay here again.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We will definitely try to come back next year now that we have found such a perfect place to enjoy our vacation! Absolutely Beautiful!!!Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thanks for your comments. We are equally grateful to have such wonderful tenants. We would love to have you come back. Also, let us know if we can approve or add any necessities to the home. Take care.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2010
About the owner: We purchased this home as a second home to enjoy with family and friends when not being enjoyed by those seeking the ultimate beach experience. We now live in Atlanta but grew up on the Gulf Coast and always dreamed of finding a perfect place on the water. We found it!
Why the Owner Chose Homes, Single Family:
Gulf Shores, Alabama beaches are the most beautiful beaches on the panhandle because they not only offer wide white sandy beaches and clear water but also because they are not completely overrun and over-developed. Also, the charter fishing out of both Gulf Shores and Orange Beach is world class and you can expect to go out on a charter once and have enough fish for your entire family for the whole week of your visit.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
This property is located on the beach yet Little Lagoon is just a short walk away and is a great place to enjoy water sports or just relax on a kayak. If the tide is right, smaller boats can launch in the lagoon and in a matter of minutes be in the gulf.
