Our family enjoyed our stay. We did not bring our dogs but the dog area was roomy. We did a lot of fishing off the pier. The pool was bigger than we expected. We did not know there was an extra fee for the pool to be heated. Harris Vacations sent a guy to turn the heater on but it did not turn on. Harris Vacations sent a third party vendor to fix the issue but they took a while to come and the issue was never fixed. That isn’t Harris Vacations’ fault. They refunded the heated pool fee. This house is updated and very clean! A/C works great!!

Cozy lagoon house

Enjoyed the house and view of the lagoon. The kitchen was nicely stocked. It was a very comfortable home. Liked the location as it was a bit farther from the touristy things. It had a nice fenced area for our dogs but first we had to clean up lots of poop from previous guests.

Family Vacation to our favorite beach

Comfortable and well equipped minus outdoor seating for porches and pool. The walk to the beach is easy and feels private. And the view of the sunset is amazing. We’ve stayed here twice and would highly recommend.

This property met all our expectations!! It was perfect! Having the fishing dock was a huge hit.

The views of the lagoon was spectacular & everyone had so much fun fishing on the dock. It also has a little beach area that the kids could wade into the water & discover the ocean life. I would recommend this property for any family.

Cozy and Quiet

Everything was as advertised. The house was clean and the pool was a nice feature. You do have to pay extra to have it heated but is well worth it if the weather is cooler. The home sits on a great lot with little traffic. We enjoyed our stay. Our only complaint is the washer and dryer are downstairs in an outdoor closet.

We visited with our dog Pelham for a vacation in Gulf Shores. Clean and comfortable house with its own pier and private pool, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Overall great place to stay and location was excellent

This property was perfect for us as a family. The kids enjoyed fishing off the dock in the back of the house and the heated pool was a nice addition as well. It's just far enough away from all the commercial stuff to be nice and quiet and without a ton of traffic, but still close enough to have a short drive to almost anything you could ask for. A short walk to the beach was great as well. Would definitely stay here again.
