We had a great stay overall and would give this property 4/5 stars! The location was perfect for us, and the pool was definitely a highlight. The space worked really well for our family of two adults and two kids and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. There were a few things that could be improved. The AC wasn’t quite as effective as we would have liked, although we really appreciated having the plug-in fans available. The back bedroom didn’t cool as well as the rest of the house. We also wished each bedroom had a ceiling fan. When we arrived, the kitchen countertops weren’t as clean as we expected, but it wasn’t a major issue for us since we typically do a quick clean ourselves when we arrive.We also wished the windows didn’t have black paper blinds covering all of the exterior windows. The area has such a beautiful bay view, and unfortunately the coverings prevented us from really enjoying the view from inside the house. We were also a little disappointed that the second pool shade wasn’t installed or available, especially since that would have been nice to have with the kids.Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed the property and location. This was our third time visiting the area and our first stay at this particular house, so next year we may consider checking out some other options simply to experience something different. That said, we had a fun and memorable stay!

Paradise Found is an amazing property. The pictures on the site were spot on and everything was clean and mostly new. Having 2 private master suites was wonderful. We loved the pool and also being able to fish off the dock was great. Plenty of deck loungers and not the cheap ones, they were very nice and comfy. AC worked great and there were also plenty of fans too. Very private but also a short walk to the beach as well as restaurants, plus a great variety within a short drive. Wonderful stay, highly recommend if you’re in the Gulf Shores area.
