We've been staying in the Gulf Shores/Ft Morgan area for over 20 years. Our families are from Ft. Worth and Memphis. Viva La Kiva was by far the best house we rented in all those years. The pictures really don't do it justice. It had everything!! The teenagers had their own floor (first floor with the screened porch and pool just outside). The elevator was invaluable for bringing up groceries. The neighborhood was clean, safe, and very little traffic for our walks in the morning. The kitchen had EVERYTHING you could imagine. When we weren't eating or playing games outside on the huge table on the deck, we were inside on the huge round table with the lazy susan. Both areas were comfortable for all 11 of us. The garage was huge and full of fun equipment for the beach. There was no need to bring anything. There was a HUGE built in charcoal grill we used several times. The house was perfect for gatherings with everyone as well as many places to go and have private time. All the beds were very comfortable. We had only one issue at the beginning, and Geoff took care of it that day, and then sent a gift card to a fabulous market as an apology which was totally unnecessary but something we really enjoyed. This house was so perfect for us that we rented it for the same week next year. We've never done that before...that's how much we loved it.
