Steve was super responsive, and the place was perfect! Directly across the street from the beach, and walking or short driving distances from a lot of places. Would recommend!!!

Good location

We had a nice stay. Everything was very clean. The pool was nice. My only complaint is that the beds were not very comfortable. The pillows were very flat. After sleeping on them for 7 nights our necks and backs were very sore. Everything else was good.

The place is okay for somebody on a very low budget if you like. Clean floors. Dry areas. Condo had a musky smell crooked counters. The batting was awful. Wound up renting another place for the entire stay and let it sit there. Owner was not flexible on returning my money even though I didn't use the condo definitely not worth the money that I paid

Beach Bele

My mom and I stayed 6 nights. We absolutely loved the cottage! We enjoyed the proximity to the beach, restaurants and activities. I have already recommended the cottage to my brother and sister-in-law and will be telling others about it!

Exactly what we needed

Great location, easy access to beach. We took advantage of the pool which was only a few steps away. We enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants and the ice cream shops. We had everything we needed for our family of 3. The condo was clean and comfortable. Our only complaint was noisy neighbors the last night we were there. They made so much noise and had a dog that barked incessantly. Luckily we left the next morning.

Arrived early, check in was easy. The place smelled musty, dusty everywhere, it just didnt seem like it was cleaned well between stays, or like there was a very long period of time where it was vacant and then not cleaned before our stay. As a new mom with an infant i was very disappointed to begin my stay with having to clean the place. We found mold and found out the fridge was not working. We bought groceries on the way for our 4 day stay that went bad because of this. Host had a new fridge installed Monday afternoon, we left tuesday morning so kind of pointless. Communication with host was phenomenal, quick to respond and professional. *my photos are from a video i was sending family, the small bed was on the frame not in the other bedroom, this was done for my son to sleep*

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful 1st VRBO experience staying here. The property was beautiful, exactly as shown in listing. Property manager was quick to respond to questions. Just a couple minutes walk to the beach. Highly recommend!

Quiet

Our stay was last minute and we were grateful to find a clean house to stay in. Short walk to the beach across the street and through a parking structure. The pool was a bit cold - but was expected given the time of year. We Vrbo homes often for vacations- the pictures were exactly like the house. Parking a bit tight- but after a couple of days we got the hang of it. Property owner was responsive upon check in. Quiet neighborhood.

Bad

The house was dirty, floors were not sturd, holes in the wall. The owner was very rude started our stay very unpleasant. He was taking screen shots of us off of his camera was not very happy about that. .akes me think theres hidden cameras in the home. The kitchen supplies were nasty filled with greasy matter in the bowls and on the plates. Do not recommend staying at this place

Great location

A friend and I definitely enjoyed our stay at the Beach Belle. It’s a great location and hassle free to come and go. However, bring extra toilet paper and any paper products you might need. The quality of toilet paper was poor and minimal. In addition, bring your beach towels, chairs and toys. And definitely check the coffee maker, it probably wasn’t cleaned for a long time. And one of the bedroom floors had puddles of water left behind so I had to clean that as well. Lastly, there’s no inside door matt or area to leave or place dirty flip flops, wet towels or beach bags so it got pretty dirty. We had to use one of their towels. Although it was a great spot and the beach always satisfies, the property lacked some quality and attention to detail for the price and all the added costs and fees.

Perfect for a couples retreat!

Was a great little place to stay for the 4 of us but we had to purchase bed comforters due to there not being any on the beds for all 3. And we would most definitely have to stay in a 2 bath or at least 1.5 bath moving forward with the four of us. If you have one of these available for our next stay I would be interested for sure if the price is right for us. We enjoyed the location being close enough to the beach and store for convenience. Thank You!

Short family getaway

We loved the communal pool on-site and close access to the beach. Lots of restaurants and family-friendly things to do. The cottage was a bit smaller and bed mattresses were not comfy (unless you prefer very firm). Agree with other reviews that the amenities could definitely use some upgrades.

Great location

Great location with a very short walk to the beach and pool right across parking lot. Convienence store, ice cream shop and Restaurant within walking distance right around the corner. Some amenities need upgraded to make experience more enjoyable: WiFi quit working, washer/dryer, one twin bed was very hard, need more pans/basic kitchen items so making a meal is possible. I do appreciate quick response from owner about issues and attempting to resolve them. Overall an enjoyable stay for our first time to Gulf Shores!
