Great house and stay!

We just finished a week at Grand Sands and had a great time! We had an infant, nieces, nephews, teens, parents and grandparents and everyone had a wonderful time. The house was well equipped, everyone had plenty of space, and the location and beach were excellent. The owners were extremely responsive and helpful before and during the trip. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

A Fun Spring Break!

A group of friends and myself came to gulf shores for spring break and this property was absolutely perfect! The view was amazing (sunsets were so beautiful) and all 22 of us fit comfortably in this home! The owners were so kind and communicative. I would definitely recommend this property and would love to come again!

Great home

The pictures of the house were accurate. The owners quickly responded to any questions that we had. The house was clean. The beach was not crowded. We could walk out the door and onto the beach. It was wonderful. There were 13 of us and plenty of room for all. Two refrigerators were great. We had all the dishes we needed. The pool was great for the kids. There were a lot of jellyfish the week we were there so the pool was perfect. Some things were getting a little worn but no complaints just the usually wear. We were close to so many restaurants and shopping. Great location and great house. We had an amazing time.

Perfect getaway

The house was amazing, large areas to congregate as a group plus small areas to get away from others. The upstairs is split, each having their own staircase. Fully equipped kitchen. Owner was very responsive. It was the perfect getaway for my 50th birthday with family, could not have asked for a better birthday!

We have been going on family vacations for many years. There are twenty of us, so not always easy, but this was perfect. With it being on the beach and having a pool we had the best of both worlds for all ages. We already tried to schedule for next year, but already booked.

Perfect house in an amazing location!

The house is absolutely gorgeous, was spotless, and very roomy. We had 16 people staying in the house and there was more then enough space for everyone. Monica is a perfect host and you can tell she has thought of everything when it comes to even the smallest details of the house. The location is close to everything you need.

Great Location!

The house was perfect for our family with a lot of small children. We could easily go back and forth from the beach to the house. Everything was clean including the pool. The grilling area under the house with the sand pit was ideal for little kids while prepping food. Groceries and ice cream shop was right across the street. The beach was not very crowded and we had plenty of space.

50th wedding anniversary

This VRBO experience was beyond any of our expectations. From the initial contact with the owners, the online payment schedule to the stay at Grand Sand. We had 8 adults and 7 Grandchildren who enjoyed this beautiful home on the beach at Gulf Shores. Words cannot begin to express the accommodations and all that Grand Sand offers. The bar has bet set awfully high for our first VRBO experience. Thank you to the owners who made our 50th anniversary one we will never forget.

Great BIG birthday trip

We had a group of 8 celebrating our 60th birthday at this wonderful home. It was perfect for a group. Plenty of rooms, bathrooms and 2 refrigerators! The house was clean, plenty of outdoor seating and beach chairs too. We loved having the beach and the pool! We had a bag tournament during a rainstorm (bags game, grills and picnic table under home). Great little restaurant bar and liquor store and convenience store across the street. We rented bikes and many more places to go in riding distance. Our host was very responsive. We all recommend the Grand Sands for a great vacation.

Can’t wait to come back

We take a beach vacation every 2 years as a family. This was our first time to Gulf Shores and Grand Sand surpassed our expectations. The owners were very responsive to our questions/needs. The house was clean, had everything we needed, and plenty of room for 10 adults and 7 kids. The beach was amazing!! Calm water and never crowded/fighting for a spot. The beach toys, hammock, swings, and porch swing were an added touch that the kids enjoyed! So many dolphins swimming by all day, every day and a turtle nest right in front of the house. We can’t wait for our next trip to Grand Sand!!

Amazing beach house

We had a group of 20 family members ranging from 3 years old to 57 and we all had a great time! There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and it never felt crowded. The house has private "wings" so one set of stairs leads to a few bedrooms and another set of stairs leads to more bedrooms, so if felt pretty private for the different families. The pool was perfect for everyone, it was definitely warm but thats to be expected in August! The house being right on the beach was the biggest plus. It can be a little bit of a trek to the water when the tide is out but the sand didnt get too hot and was so soft. The beach in front of the house has a sandbar when the tide is out, which worked out well for us with the little kids. There was a TON of beach toys and floaties under the house which we loved. Communication with the host was easy and quick, she was super responsive and great to work with. We had such a great time, thank you for allowing us to stay!

Disliked: Cleanliness

The advertised details of the house were not accurate and quite misleading. Cleanliness: When we arrived we found a dirty diaper laying on the outside deck and a lots of dirty cups at the pool area. The blinds in the laundry room were not able to be closed which for a house of ladies and a house of men next door, this was a problem. Even after multiple attempts the washing machine also did not work. Also, you could not open and close any of the blinds throughout the house without getting dirty. They obviously had not been cleaned in a very long time. The sheets for the loft / landing area on the left didn't appear to have been washed prior to our arrival. They had a smell and looked as if they were just tossed into the nearby closet. Bedrooms: Although, two of the advertised bedrooms were actually a loft area that overlooked the living area and did not provide any privacy and should not have described as bedrooms. We were not able to use the television in the ground level bedroom on the left. The pool was clean but the liner needs work. it was coming loose around the edges and the ladder was wobbly making several ladies feel unsafe. We make a beach trip every year and have been pleased with every place we have stayed with VRBO until now. This one is an exception in the negative. A consideration for reimbursement for the cleanliness inside and out, non working television and washing machine should be considered.

I havent nothing bad to say! We absolutely loved the property and everything about it. The 1 thing that you cant tell by the pics is the "loft area" is split. This wasnt a problem just changed how were going to sleep a little. 1 Queen bedroom and bunks/trundle are on one side and 2 additional bed rooms and fold out sofa are on the other. The space worked perfectly for our "Framily". We loved the decks, 2 fridges and location. The matresses were good and all the extras avaliable were a huge plus. Book it, you wonr regret it.

The hosts were very kind and responsive which we truly appreciated. The beach is beautiful and definitely less crowded than public areas. The house was a great size for our family of 12. It has potential to be 5 stars but needs a refresh. Walls, rugs and cabinets are very dirty and worn. We have stayed in many airbnb/vrbo properties and this property was not as nice as we expected for the price, but it definitely could be 5 stars with some upkeep. We felt the deck was unsafe with multiple areas with nails lifted. We even covered some with electrical tape to avoid injury on our little ones feet. We had to provide the following: beach towels, hand soap, bath soap, dish soap, garbage bags, paper towels and toilet paper. The most minimal amount of supplies we have ever had provided at a rental property. Also, the master closet needs to be addressed. It smelled so strongly like vomit when we arrived we were concerned we would all get sick. We cleaned it ourselves but the smell never fully went away. We know with some tlc this house can be amazing.
