This property was amazing and exceeded our expectations! The owners were amazing at answering any questions and making sure we were good when we checked in! This house is equipped with everything you will need. So just back your bags and go enjoy your vacation!
We loved staying here! There was plenty of room for all of us to fit comfortably in the place. We also loved that it was pet-friendly so we could bring our dog! The pool area with the bar and tv was excellent! We spent most of our time out there, it was a lovely space to hang out and relax. The location was also in a great area, we could easily walk to several restaurants within 5 minutes. The host was also a great communicator. Caitlin made sure we had all the check in information well before hand so we were prepared for our stay, and she was also quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again!

Surprisingly nice views, great location
Great location for a beach vacation. House and yard aren't exactly fresh and new, but if you want a reasonably priced place with a view and a beach just a block away, this may be for you. Four elevated decks to enjoy coffee in the mornings or evening cocktails. Plenty of parking, and even some beach chairs to borrow. We had a good time. Thanks!
We enjoyed our time at this well appointed, dog-friendly Gulf Shores duplex. Minimal sound transfer from adjacent space. Location is great! Beware of stickers in the yard! A short walk (less and 2 blocks) to food, drinks, beach, small grocery, liquor store etc. Neighborhood feels safe to walk after dark. Hosts communicate quickly and are accommodating. Would stay again!

Very nice. Had great time. Minor repair needed - one closet door off track. Also, could not control thermostat?

Hi Robin! I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay! It was truly a pleasure hosting you. Thank you so much for letting me know about the sliding door we will get that fixed immediately. As for the thermostat, I’m sorry if it was a bother, you should have the ability to control the temperature. I’ll look into that as well! Thank you again, Robin! We hope to see you again
There was one roll of toilet paper per bathroom only, one dishwasher pod. We had to go buy those things. Hardly any cleaning products. A little difficult to leave it as we found it without thise things.
