The location of the house is great and the house it was a good fit or my family, we have some challenges with cooking our neals, the kitchen needs some improvement with the stuff to actually be able to take care of the 10 guests as they claim in this site. Other thsn that the place needs some minor maintenance to be top notch. The property manager was excellent and easy to communicate. Over all we will comeback to this house again with my fsmily, we enjoyed been this close to the gulf of Mexico.

We loved the beach access. We could walk barefoot to the beach. Property was clean. You can tell its not someone's vacation property as it was really bare bones. We found it difficult to cook food as we were hoping to do. The kids loved the bunk beds, and the master suite was comfortable.The property manager was responsive. Ov

The house is falling apart! The pictures in the listing are old and not accurate. The inside still looks nice but the bunk beds sway and the steps on the ladder in both rooms are broken. There is mold in a/c registers and exterior doors. The patio furniture is rusting through. The renters before us had the outdoor table fall while they were eating on it. The locks on almost alol exterior doors are seized up and the main French door would only stay closed if you locked the deadbolt. The rental company is Poole and Associates. We went to the rental office in Gulf Shores. The lady in the office told us that it should not be available for rent. She said the house was for sale but the owners decided to keep it. She said that the owners need to renovate before it is rented again. We emailed all of our pictures and videos to the manager and now they will not respond to us!!

Needs some work

The property was very worn - hole in floor in master bedroom, closet doors in master bath unattached and propped, NO outside lighting which resulted in a fall down the stairs, several blown light bulbs inside (which was fine since there are so many lights). Wish checkin could be with a code rather than having to go to Gulf Shores.However, the location was GREAT!!!!

Great house!

We loved that it was so close to the beach access. The view from the porches was also beautiful. Great home for a family. I do wish that we didn’t have to go to the office to get the keys. It would have been nice to be able to go straight to the property. Also my husband is 6’3 and his head hit all the light fixtures! And there are a lot of light fixtures! Overall it is a beautiful property and we enjoyed our stay!

Re-set and Relax

This beach house was very nice and within steps to the beach, everything was nice, neat and clean...there are a few things that needs attention to make it even better which is the front door that's hard to lock because it's loose at the bottom, light fixtures pretty but hangs too low for someone 6ft and taller, just needs a deep cleaning also but overall it's very nice and breathtaking sitting on the side porch looking and listening to the waves.

Poole Properties Amazing!!

The locations is great! Poole Properties great as well and really helped us with our stay. The property needs some serious TLC!! Cleaning could be better but the actual up- keep is the problem. Stained couch, dirty area rug, and just overall wear and tear was definitely a downer. Also, note to owner a tail-gate grill is not adequate for a beach rental. If I had paid for any more than a 3 day stay I would have been really upset, but the house served its purpose and my grown children enjoyed the music festival.

The inside was nice, however the outside needed a LOT of repairs. The deck area and area under the house was run down and the deck lighting was knocked off the posts. The outside shower was rusted and didn’t work accurately. Lights inside also needed new light bulbs in the kitchen. It would also be nice to have cutting knives in the kitchen to use when preparing meals. There is also a hole in the floor in the master bedroom and the master bathroom closet door was ripped off the hinges.
