Overall we had the best time and would book again, but the place needs a little TLC from the cleaners. There was mold in the washer and the laundry room wasn’t vented properly so when you dry clothes the condensation covered the doors of the laundry room. The bathrooms looked to be half cleaned, one of the sinks still had toothpaste all around it. The fridge smelled like seafood which may or may not have been able to be gotten out but it would take your breath every time you opened the door and the ice maker barely made ice; we ended up buying ice. The house itself was just like the listing except it wasn’t directly over the pool but a very close walk and overall we enjoyed our stay I’d just recommend the rental company get a good thorough clean.

My family and I loved this place! We will definitely come back! Everything was walkable and love that Dollar General store is within walking distance! Miniature golf is also walkable. Easy walk to the beach. The host was easy to contact. Loved that every room has their own balcony!

Family Time in Gulf Shores

Our families met in Gulf Shores to celebrate Thanksgiving. The property was perfect for our group. We had ample space, and were located within walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops. We loved the backyard sand volleyball court and gas fire pit.

Beach life 3A

Our vacation rental was fantastic! The pool in the backyard was a major highlight, and we also loved having a sand volleyball court right there. The place was spotless and well-equipped with all the essentials we needed to get started. The location was also perfect for exploring the area. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the key return process. Most places now use key codes, which are much more convenient.
