Don and Angela were the absolute best hosts, if we needed anything leading up to our trip or while we were in beautiful Gulf Shores one of them were always available and they provided the most amazing recommendations on what to do, where to eat, etc. They were so accommodating. The space is a coastal oasis, very clean, literally everything you would need, they have. The location is incredible, right across the street from the beach. The beach was very easy to access, and not crowded whatsoever. We could walk to several restaurants and bars from the VRBO. The longest walk we had to a restaurant was 15 minutes which was more than doable for our group. The market across the street was super helpful for us as well. We could pick up things that were not available from other stores. We will definitely stay here again.
