Property very nice and spacious, well maintained and stocked. The views were amazing. The wooden walkway to the beach was excellent, sure made it easy to tote beach supplies and kiddo’s to the water. The only drawback would be the long gravel road down to the property was not well maintained had a lot of pot holes. But all in all was a great beach house! Will definitely book this house again. Thanks so much the whole family had a great time .

Perfect location

The house is just as advertised. Great beachfront location. Close enough to the convenience store, far enough from big resorts. There are no extras of any kind. It would be nice if there were some beach chairs at least. Our family had a lovely stay.

Functional & clean

This property was almost perfect! We loved the boarded walk to the beach, the space we all had, and the stocked kitchen. Definitely bring your own beach gear and beach towels though. Also, there is minimal to no covering on the deck, so don’t plan on watching the ocean in the shade!

Wonderful retreat!!!

This property is above and beyond what we could have imagined! Short walk straight to the ocean. Less than 100 yards. So private and such respectful neighbors. Breezy all day even in the heat of the day. Beach is very well maintained and no trash in site. The house was just like we moved straight inside our house at home... All the amenities are already inside. Just needed food and cleaning supplies. Very clean and great Internet for the kids. The large outdoor deck is a wonderful place for the morning coffee while we watched the dolphins when the sun came up. Lots of other great things to say about our new favorite vacation spot, but we'll add those the next time we stay.

This was our first family vacation and it's going to be hard to beat! This place was wonderful! Would come back in a heartbeat. Perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults 2 kids 7 and under). The house was very clean even the lint trap in the dryer was pristine. The furniture and decor was very nice. The beds were great. The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of dishes and cooking needs. It was stocked so much we didn't have a cabinet to put food in which would have been nice but there was plenty of counter space to sit stuff on so it wasn't a big deal.There were plenty of towels in each bathroom for the family. The rental company provided sample size toiletries in each bathroom and provided kitchen sample stuff as well such as dishwasher pods, dish soap, and sponge. The deck and rails looked brand new. The house is right on the beach and it is very peaceful and not crowded. There's an outdoor shower but it's not completely covered so you're just using it to rinse yourself off. There's a nice porch swing under the house and you can park underneath the house too. The only negative I can think of is that the deck isn't covered so there's no shade to sit under which was fine for us in April but I would bet during the summer it's miserable. Also if you want any beach stuff such as towels, chairs, canopy, etc. you have to bring your own.Definitely worth it!

Wonderful property!

The house was perfect! The kitchen is well equipped, the appliances are nice, loved the drink fridge. The living spaces are bigger than they look in the pictures. The beds were super comfortable. The deck to the beach has been replaced - it goes out a lot farther than in the pictures. Had the beach to ourselves most the time. There is an outdoor shower. Cons: Check-in was super frustrating. I had to stop into the office in town to show them my ID. We drove by the property a little before 4 and the cleaners were gone so I tried to get a code to get in the front door. Over an hour later someone finally called me back, asked if I had checked into the office. We had 5 kids 10 and under including twin 1 year olds we were trying to entertain. A $200 grocery pick up order sitting in my car. Almost an hour and a half later I got a code to the door. The washer and dryer are located in an enclosed porch - that door does not have a lock on it. It is bare bones as far as supplies. Nothing is included for the beach. Loved the house but probably won't stay here again.

Private beach

The location felt like we were on a private beach. Lots of room to play without fighting for a space on the water. The house was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Appreciated the outdoor shower. Plenty of room for 8 adults in the house. We had a wonderful time. The 22 inch Weber kettle grill worked out great for meals at home. Thank you for sharing this lovely piece of paradise with us.

Beautiful beach and views. House needs work.

Pros: steps away from the beautiful beach. A little closer to Beach House resort than we like but was still private. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had all the necessities and the showers had great water pressure. House was decorated nice and furniture was comfortable. Cons: the house was surface nice for pictures. It appears the house had some serious water damage during a hurricane or tropical storm that didn’t get fixed. All the floors need replaced. Some areas were spongy others were bowed up. Definitely could be a tripping hazards. Popcorn ceiling coming down in family room. Major cracks in walls. Light in the kitchen looked like it was going to fall off the ceiling. None of the exterior doors to the deck opened easily (required significant pushing to open). The family room door you could actually see outside at the top of it since it didn’t close right. The TV in family room did not work. Wasn’t a big deal since we spent most our time at the beach. The master bedroom doesn’t have its own bath even though it is listed as such. It has a door to the shared hall bath. All in all we had a great trip, but we were disappointed in the conditions of the home considering the cost we paid to rent it. I doubt we would ever rent again. Owner needs to invest some serious work into the home.

Flea Infested & Water Damaged

Home for two weeks now, we are still dealing with itchy bites from fleas. My wife is covered in bites. My scalp has too many bites to count. The rear door to the deck will not close properly, and the flooring is buckled so badly in places the raised edges cause tripping. There are many good things about the property, but these problems spoiled our vacation. The owner MUST make repairs & treat for fleas.

Great house right on the beach

We had a great time at the Cabana Beach House. Super close to the beach, incredible ocean views and a very nice, clean house. The beach in front of the house was very uncrowded and is a MUCH better experience than the other areas of Gulf Shores where the beaches are packed. We will definitely be renting this house again!

Loved the location of this beach house. It’s was perfect and private. We usually stay on foley /Gulf shores. With everything going , did t want to take a chance of our vacation being cxld. Don’t regret booking this house at all. Very well stocked with everything you need as far as dishes and cookware. Had to call fir a small issue and maintenance was out within minutes . Never could get the WiFi to work no biggie for me.

Summer Vaca

The house is in a perfect location. It had all the amenities we needed and everything worked! (We've had some where it doesn't all work!) The AC worked really well! The ice maker was a huge plus as well. Game changer for drinks! I would like to see the owners spend some time over the off season and re-paint/ make the small repairs that would really separate this property. Other than that, for our group, great place to call home for a week! For the same sized group, (8 total) we'd go back!

We stayed during a Tropical Storm - Property is ON the Beach

This was a wonderful property for a family, it is ON the beach... makes it a private vacation during this COVID mess - you are quarantined. We stayed during a tropical storm and had no internet and other issues we had to communicate to management but they dispatched the maintenance and let us know how they could help us. It had some inconveniences but it was a tropical storm. Not the property fault.

Good location, needs work

Great location, comfortable beds. The house needs work. There were several outlets that didn't work. Our balcony doors took some effort to open. Upon arrival the kitchen cooking and serving utensils were very dirty (so much so that we didn't use them). The floor was very dirty. The vacuum provided was filled with old dirt from other people. The internet was not working and when maintenance was called they came out and said "oh that is a Centry Link problem, it will have to wait until Monday". We were leaving on Monday. The fridge didn't get very cold. Over all for a quick stay, the beds are comfortable, the toilets and showers were clean but if you're staying for an extended time you may choose somewhere else for the price you pay.

Very nice and affordable beach front home

This home was very nice and well equipped. Young’s Suncoast even called a bit early to let us know we could check-in. Location is perfect with a very uncrowded beach, with restaurants and stores close by. Could use a little better lighting underneath for nighttime, but I got two cheap hang on lights at Walmart that did the trick. Good rental rate for a beachfront house during peak season. Overall, great place and highly recommended.
