It's apparent that it's a pet friendly place. The cleaning crew isn't as thorough as i would've thought. There was also a fabric couch that held onto all the pet smells. It wasn't overwhelming but you could tell it was a dog friendly place. We stayed in the condo to the right. That part was a little confusing but not an issue. We did, however, have a maintenance issue and the owner sent someone over asap. Overall, worth it for what you pay and the prime location!! If I have to bring my pup again I'll be staying here!

Distance from the beach is farther than decribed. The host will not work with you in any way to reschedule or give a partial refund in case of an emergency. I would suggest you purchase the insurance. This was our silver Anniversary. I broke my shoulder two weeks before our trip and the host would not reschedule our trip. So I had to drive from missouri to gulf shores Alabama and back in a sling. My Wife cannot drive in high traffic area's. But we made the best of it ! The best part was my Wife and I were together
