Morning sunrises and evening sunsets were beautiful daily. Easy access to the beach with littles is very convenient and much more comforting to know not as many people around and traffic. The house is clean as always and typically very good and quick communication from host.

Absolutely stunning location. You are right on the beach. Sunsets are amazing. Close to lots of places to eat and things to do but it’s in a quiet area of homes. Beach is very private and we mostly had it to ourselves. House is very comfortable and kitchen is well equipped. I loved the multiple covered decks overlooking the Gulf.

Kitchen well stocked with dishware, utensils, cookware, etc. Gave 4 star due to kitchen floor mat very dirty and needing replacement. Living room stained carpet and side chairs needing easy stain removal & cleaning. Excellant place to stay and we had great time!

Great views of the beach from porch, and balcony off master bedroom. There's a wall separating the other side of the porch & balcony, so you're separated from other visitors which we liked.Everything was clean and seemed well kept. Showers had good water pressure. The host gave us simple instructions for check-in & check-out.Right next to town, but still quiet and peaceful. Only about 25min to orange beach so we easily visited both areas. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Great Family Vacay Bargain

The property could certainly use a little updating, but it was clean and everything worked properly (except some outdoor lighting). Great location right on the beach. Ample parking was a huge plus for us since we were all driving in from various locations to meet up. Our family enjoyed this vacay very much and we would stay here here again.

We had an amazing week at Gulf Shores!! It was a first time visit to this area and also to Alabama! Loved the location of this place-it is so nice to be right on the beach.This rental had everything that we needed and it was so clean and welcoming to us! We would love to return someday for another visit!!We enjoyed lots of walks on the beach and checking on the sea turtle nests. My husband and son did a lot of fishing!! We loved the shops which kept us busy during the rainy times! The Foam coffee shop, Happy Pappys, Parlor Doughnuts, Tacky Jack's, Lulu's, and Picnic Beach Restaurant were all SO delicious and I would highly recommend them to anyone! THANK YOU for a wonderful beach vacation!!

Perfect for a little family get away

The property was perfect for our intended vacation of being on the beach, the back deck was large and even had space we could put a small splash pool for the kiddos! The walk to the beach is perfect and the views are beautiful! The beach was quiet not being near any big condo buildings. Communication was great we were able to navigate a few minor maintenance details, while there with quick response everytime! The house is sufficiently stocked for the basics! We would return here again in the future.

Great stay

We had a great stay! We accidentally booked during the hangout festival, and were worried the beach would be super crowded however, this location felt like we had a private beach area even with the festival going on only about 2 miles away. We will definitely stay here again.
