This house was beautiful, well-appointed, and a great location for our families. Any issues we had with the property were easily remedied by the property management company. The ease of being on the beach made for a great week!

Gulf Shores Family Vacation

Property was as marketed, down to chairs on the beach. Very clean and well maintained. Away from the busier areas of Gulf Shores but still easy access to dining, etc. Would very much like to go back in future.

Stunning!

Casa di Famiglia was just as beautiful in person as the online photos. It is a beautifully decorated and had all the kitchen equipment/tools we needed. Our family ranges from 5 months to 87 years, and we all enjoyed it!

Great family house

The house is great! The pool was a must with kids. The beach was great but the weather wasnt the best so we stayed by the pool.. We would stay again. The only complaint is the soap(hand,dish,laundry) and toilet paper we in short supply. The house was very clean and they had a kitchen full of utensils, with plenty of cups and dishes.

So Very Good, We will be returning!

The property was not ready until a little after 4 pm; however, once we were in and put out of the way all the pretty pieces that were breakable, it was fantastic! The beds were comfortable, the home was fully stocked in the kitchen, had refrigerator space for extra drinks, ice and more! Everything was great! We loved it and had a great time at this home and location, the weather didn’t completely cooperate but it’s the weather! We will be returning to this location for sure! Thank you so much, great place, great location, great fun and loads of memories!

Fun in the sun

Overall, a fantastic and beautiful home. Rental agency needs to fix a few appliance issues. Plenty of room for the 11 of us - from 88 to 2 years old. Loved having our own pool. The kids hardly ever came out of it. Would highly recommended this home.

After staying on West Beach for the past 6 years, we decided to try Casa di Famiglia largely due to the pool and walkway to the beach. We were misinformed about the elevator, unfortunately. We were told that the elevator went to the top floor of bedrooms, but it does not. The elevator stops at the primary master bedroom floor, so my 82-year-old mother to stay in the master by herself. We worked it out though and had a great time! Other than the elevator situation, we were very pleased with the house. I would recommend buying bagged ice as the only ice comes from the refrigerator and is slow. I would also recommend buying salt/pepper or other spices you might want if you are cooking. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and pans but no cleaning supplies or sponges. The beds are comfortable. I did report that the upstairs King bedroom has a slow drain in the bathroom with water backing up. Otherwise the baths were good. The pool was so clean - a pool company came twice during the week we stayed. There were no beach chairs at the house, but we left the ones we bought for future guests to use. I think you will enjoy this beautiful home!
