Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property was clean and a great location away from the crazy, but still close to everything. Having the option to go to the lagoon side during the tropical storm salvaged our vacation!

We had an amazing visit. The room was clean and nice. Beach was super close, just across the street. This room has the perfect placement because you have a direct view of the beach with no building across the street to block your view!

Just as others have also said - this property is ideally located between the beach and the lagoon and has a pool too. Everything was fresh and clean. And the beds were very comfortable! We could even hear the waves at night! Wonderful stay! The only issue was there are many stairs to navigate, but no deal breaker.

Our family stayed here for spring break and had a great experience. Location is great with quick access to both the ocean and the lagoon and multiple decks with some restricted views of the ocean. Also a bonus to be on the quieter end of Gulf Shores. The rooms were clean and it had a lot of useful kitchen amenities for cooking meals. Besides the steep staircase to get to the front door, this place surpassed our expectations.

Wonderful relaxing stay. Enjoyed our time. Peaceful place. Had everything we needed - only suggestion is having a pulley system like some neighbors do; since the stairs to unit are steep for carrying items. Loved the view from all the decks !!
