Perfect Getaway!

We couldn’t have asked for a better beach getaway to spend the 4th of July! The lagoon view/access with easy beach access was the perfect combination for our family and we have already rebooked for next year! We can’t wait to be back and highly recommend this wonderful home to anyone looking for a great place to stay!

Great for fisherman

Right on the Little Lagoon where we took our Hobie kayaks out fishing (caught trout and redfish) in the mornings and then a short walk across the road to the beach in the afternoons. The place had everything needed for an enjoyable stay. The location was the highlight!

This rental was exactly what we wanted. It was filled with everything we needed. It made our stay perfect. It was close to the beach, we could come in mid day and have a meal and a nap and then back to the beach for the evening. We will be back!

Fun trip to Gulf Shores

Lots of sun, fun, and sand! Beach is close. Kids had fun at the small beach at the property fishing and finding crabs and hermit crabs. Condo was clean with plenty of room for all!

Great time by the beach.

We take a friends vacation every year and this year did not disappoint. We had a great time with a the ocean a few steps away and a beautiful lagoon right in the back yard. We had a blast at the restaurant called the Hang Out with great food and fun party atmosphere for the whole family.

Perfect getaway ❤️

This is our second stay at this condo. We love the location on the bay and it's a close drive to everything you could want. This trip we enjoyed fishing off the pier and exploring the waters of the bay. The walk to the gulf beach is close and easy. Gorgeous views, peaceful setting, and just the perfect spot!

Amazing place

This place was everything we needed for our stay plus more! The location on the bay side and a quick walk to the beach made this place perfect for the kids and adults! We already looked to book it again! The owner was very responsive to our needs. The kitchen was stocked well! Lots of space.

Getting away from the snow

We loved this rental. The location was great. It had the lagoon out the back door and the Gulf a very short distance out the front. We could fish either location. There was plenty of space for four adults to spread out. We would definitely stay there again.

Perfect Place to Stay

Fun in the Sun rental was everything we hoped for. Great location, outstanding beach access, and a pier to enjoy and fish from on the little lagoon. The condo was extremely clean and was large enough for all my children and grandchildren to stay. The property manager was extremely prompt in all interactions. I would highly recommend this rental and will not hesitate to stay here again. It's definitely a 5 star location.

Great Stay!

We had a great time at the condo. Gulf Shores is still repairing damage from the Hurricane Sally and portions of the property are still in repair (pool and dock), as is most of the properties on the strip. The owners were upfront about it and were very accommodating to our needs. Our family enjoyed the Lagoon and the Beach, the condo itself was well stocked and roomy enough for 2 couples and 4 children. The kids had a blast!

Just an update on the Hurricane Sally damage. Repairs to the pool and fishing pier have been completed. We have a great group of Owners in the complex and we all pitched in and now have the only completed pier in Little Lagoon. It is ready for fishing and crabbing again. The pool and security fence is repaired and ready for swimming.

Family vacation 7

Loved the location, the surrounding people. The only thing I could complain about is all these places at the beach need ice makers of some kind and a bigger refrigerator. Besides that I was pleased with everything else.

On the water

Great location. Property is part of a duplex that sits right on the bay with a dock 10 feet away. The beach is about a 2 minute walk. Short drive to 59 where most of the restaurants and shops are in gulf shores. Each bedroom has a bathroom attached and two of three bedrooms have walk out decks. Overall very pleased with this spot.

Lagoon Life

Some people go to Gulf Shore to be on the gulf/ocean. We enjoyed being right on the lagoon. So many water fowl daily and the sound of lapping water was so peaceful. We like being on the west end as there is less traffic. Nice getting to know neighbors. Accommodations were very comfortable. Owner was very responsive. We’ve booked again for next year.
