Excellent location and house

The house and location were absolutely wonderful. The kids (and the adults) loved having a pool under the house - no better way to cool down after a hot day on the beach.

Great house on the beach with pool

We really enjoyed this house, plenty of room, comfortable rooms and bathrooms, very clean and the pool underneath the house is an excellent amenity. Right on the beach with plenty of room to spread out. I would definitely rent this house again.

6/10 Okay

We enjoyed the stay the house needed updated. There wasn’t enough cooking supplies in the kitchen. The walk to the beach was long and hard. A ramp would really help that walk. The pool wasn’t heated and it was too cold to swim. I would suggest heating the pool for the month of May instead of charging extra.

We enjoyed the house and was in a great location. The idea of having a private pool under the house for rainy days was awesome. But the pool was NOT heated as advertised and was almost unusable because of absolutely no sun and mid 80 days it had not heated up yet. Kids used it SOME (kids will swim in anything lol) but not as much as they would have liked. Only other thing. Not really a complaint. But the lack of blankets was alittle unconventional but we made it work. Over all nice place and we will book again.

A great house in a great location.

The house was beautiful and recently updated. You can’t beat staying right on the beach and being so close to the attractions of Gulf Shores. My only recommendation would be to have a heater installed in the pool so that it can be used during the winter months.

Great location, we loved being right on the beach. House was very clean and updated. It was nice to have a pool...a little cold without a heater but it didn’t seem to bother the kids! Management company was great and very responsive to minor issue we encountered. Overall, great place to stay!
