Big Blue was Awesome

Big Blue was a great place to stay during our time in Gulf Shores. The home was updated nicely, it was clean and close to everything. The mattresses weren’t the most comfortable, but they weren’t a deal breaker. We would definitely return to Big Blue and recommend it to our friends as well.

It was great!

We booked this for our family vacation of 9 adults and a baby and it was perfect for us! There is some construction going on in the area right now but it didn’t keep us from having the best time!

The property had plenty of room for our family of 4. The location was very convenient. I am unable to leave a great review as the wifi did not work at all during our stay. We reached out 3 times to resolvw the issue and each time they advised someone would be out to fix the wifi and they never did. The guests before us left broken glass in the driveway, bottle caps on the porch, used vape device on the porch, and overflowing outdoor trash cans that was our first impression.
