Great House, Amazing Location!

This was the vacation that almost didn’t happen due to COVID, but we decided to reschedule instead of cancelling, and it was worth the wait! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The secluded area and proximity to the beach was simply amazing. Would love to see some updates (ESPECIALLY the kitchen stove), but no real complaints! Looking forward to staying again.

Spring Break Vacation

The property was as pictured and as described. Appreciated the communication checking in on us as a decent storm rolled through. The covered porch provided an awesome opportunity to watch that ocean storm. We all had a great time and would definitely stay again. It was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of town but yet within a short drive to go into town if we wanted to. Would highly recommend staying here!

Stuck in the Sand.

We really enjoyed our stay at Stuck in the Sand. The house was perfect for us and we loved the area. The only issue we had was the tub in the hall bathroom was really slippery and one if our party almost fell. We will definitely recommend this property to our friends who might be looking for a place to stay. Thank you so much.

Directly on the Gulf with lots of Privacy

We had a great SB! The house was beautifully kept and decorated. We enjoyed the beach straight out our door with zero walking. Open your door and you're on the beach!! Enjoyed even a rain storm out on the screened porch! We'll definitely return and from pictures we posted others are wanting more info because of this close and private home. Stuck In The Sand was more than great!! 5 stars!

Great Location for Relaxing

This property was very comfortable, easy to access and was right on the beach. I enjoyed being out of the hustle and bustle of the main drag. We came to relax and that we did. Everything was as I expected it to be. The only recommendation would be to have a newer tv in the living room as it was slightly on the small side and the colors seemed to be a little washed out. I would have also liked to be able to log into Netflix and Prime.

Beautiful house and beach area

The only issue we had was unlocking the front door with the entry code sent to us, but when I called the office, they answered quickly and gave a second door code to use which worked fine! The house is roomy and very close to the beach! just a warning for others, though, there is no grill on site. We had to bring our own to use outdoor grilling.

On the water!

Couldn't be any closer to the water! Screened in porch with rockers was wonderful. Loved the ocean views out two of the bedrooms. Long beach walks every sunrise and sunset, unlimited sandbox for the kids. A little drive to town, but close to good restaurant and convenience stores. Had a Christmas tree delivered to management and they saw that it was out at the house when we arrived! Would be nice if management would allow small amount of condiments, paper and cleaning supplies to accumulate from one guest to the next...it's a wasteful annoyance and unnecessary expense to buy basic things like salt & pepper, dish soap, pot scrubbers, etc. and then dispose of it when leaving.

Nice house, amazing views.

The photos are exactly what it looks like! The listing for "Stuck in the Sand" described it very well, and the process for renting it went smoothly. We were a group of four friends, two had never seen the ocean, one had been to Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan many times, and one had been to multiple other beaches. We all said the same thing, the house was clean and cozy yet spaced out enough that we were not on top of each other. With the doors and windows open, there was a fantastic cross breeze. The furniture was comfortable and clean. The bedrooms were spacious. The deck was nice, although the steps seemed a little steep for us, 3 women in their 50's and one in her 40's. It didn't stop us from going down to the beach multiple times a day. The beach is definitely close with this house, once you are off the deck, the water is about 30 seconds away. Cons and things we would have changed: there were 4 rocking chairs on the screened in porch, which was very nice, but there were only two adirondack chairs on the deck. It would have been nice if 2 more had been available. Not a huge issue, but something we noticed. There was an issue with the dryer not working and we packed wet clothes for the trip home. We contacted the number they provided and maintenence was at the house within an hour. He did get the dryer going, it was simply a breaker issue, but we turned it off since were leaving for dinner, when we returned, it wouldn't start again. I fully believe that maintenence would have came back to the house, had we called but it was our last night there and we decided not to mess with calling them again. Our only other "complaint" is the provided one roll of toilet paper per bathroom. We found more humor in the situation than an actual complaint, but that's quite possibly the worst toilet paper any of us had ever seen. Luckily we had each brought our own roll from home, so we just laughed about it and went on with our stay. All 4 of us were incredibly happy with the house, it's location, and the communication with management.

Great Spot

Overall a great house for a beach getaway weekend. It is right on the beach with prime views and easy to get up and down throughout the day with kids. No hauling coolers, etc. The house is very clean and has most of the basics. It would be nice to have a few more supplies provided like extra trash bags and coffee filters but based on other reviews we anticipated that and brought extras. Would definitely stay there again!
