Long weekend

We had 9 adults staying at the rental. The kitchen had plenty of equipment only lacking a cheese grater.. spacious and plenty of room to accommodate our group but the bunk bed room is really meant for children- it was tight quarters for the 2 single men in our group. We enjoyed the pool area as well as the short walk to the beach.

Family vacay

All in all it is a very nice house to stay in. Beds were very comfortable. We had 14 in our group and there was room for everyone comfortably. Location is excellent. The only thing I would say is a draw for me is it’s a shared property. It worked out with the other party next door on sharing the pool but would be much nicer to have the pool and pier completely to ourselves. Also, the wagons and everything available in storage was very helpful in going to the beach. The beach was literally a 3 minute walk from the house. If needed, I would stay here again.

This place had the best of both worlds…pier in the lagoon for fishing and just a few minutes walk to the shore! Kept our family busy for sure! The bunk room was great for the grandkids! They loved having a sleepover together! Living space is fantastic! Multiple places for seating. Deck is massive and was great for entertaining our extended family who was in a different home! Lots of beach chairs and accessories to use.

Lovely

We had a great week at Gulf Shores. Access to the beach was close and easy walking distance. Kids LOVED the dock and the tons of hermit crabs they caught. The pool was lovely and the family we shared it with was very nice and easygoing. We would definitely come back for the location and great accommodations. Only thing I’d change is rails on the bunk beds. We didn’t feel comfortable having the kids sleeping up there (ages 7-10) without railing on the top bunks. Also will need to bring all spices that you require because there is no pantry. Washer & dryer worked great. Showers were great and beds comfortable.

Wedding Getaway

We really enjoyed the house. The house is exactly as pictured on the website. It was very clean. I was a little hesitant to stay at a pet friendly home because of issues that we have had in the past but the home was definitely super clean. Great job to the cleaning staff. The beds were very comfortable and the space was very accommodating for families. I loved the neighborhood with the walking/bike trail and the beach is only a block over. The scenery was beautiful. The downstairs closet with beach gear was great and the kitchen was very well stocked with anything that would be needed. I would suggest getting some softer bath towels but that is just a personal preference. It was a little tricky bringing luggage into the house from under the carport because the door opens directly at the top step. It would have been nice to have had a little ledge there. We found it easier to bring in the bigger items like suitcases from the back deck. Other than that we had no issues. Thanks for a great stay. We would definitely stay here again.

What a GREAT place!!

WaterSide East was the perfect place for our family’s annual beach trip! The location on Little Lagoon and the short walk to the beach were exactly what we were looking for - away from the Fall Break crowds but close enough to everything in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. We shared the pool and pier with a wonderful family from Kentucky. The rooms were bigger than pictured and the kitchen had plenty of dishes, cups, and pots & pans. When you get there, make sure to read the binder the owners created. It had lots of information about local restaurants and things to do. The shared locker had all the things we needed for the beach - chairs, wagons, and even a Big Tonka my grandsons loved! Craig was easy to work with and we’re all looking forward to going back to WaterSide East next year!
