We loved the house! It was very well stocked with everything we needed and it was nice and spacious. The pool was a huge hit and the fact it was heated was a major plus. It was a very short walk to the beach and the little lagoon was a great view. The carpet in the bedrooms needed some attention. It was bunched up in some areas and the tack strip was exposed in one spot. But otherwise we loved our stay and would definitely come back!

Great place to enjoy family and friends

The house is spacious and comfortable for a large group. Location is great, the only negatives were the tv would not connect to the internet. We were not there for tv so that is ok with us. We did have an issue with a toulet that kept running but they had someone some out several times to fix.

Awesome Location!

We loved this house! Perfect location to the bay and the beach. Very short walk to the beach across the street. And that side of the beach wasn't crowded at all, which was perfect for the kids playing and me relaxing! House was beautiful and the beds were comfortable. House was lacking in kitchen supplies, but we made due. We enjoyed ourselves and will return!

High school soccer trip

Great location, I love being on Little Lagoon. It was great being able to sit on the deck and look out at the water. The little beach on Little Lagoon is very convenient or it’s just a short walk across the street or under the bridge to the beach on the Gulf side. We had a team meal at the house and there was plenty of room for everyone to eat then hit the beach. The tv was the only issue. We called the property manager and they sent someone over quickly. The TV service just isn’t very user friendly.

Perfect Location - accessible by bay or ocean

Perfect property for 3 generation families. Large bedroom with bathroom on the 1st floor. Gorgeous decorating. Excellent walking paths right outside the door and easy walk to the beach. Was concerned about "community" pool, but it was perfect and the tenants in the other properties were thoughtful and enjoyable. Had a few plumbing problems upon arrival that were not addressed by prior tenants and clearly something they did, but property management addressed quickly enough. It was our first time in AL and it did not disappoint!

Great location, Bad Property Management

Upon our arrival, the house clearly reeked of smoke. We contacted the Property Management group and they attempted to set air purifiers but it didn’t work and left a gift card to Tacky Jacks. After we continued to complain into day 2, the Manager Kelly gave me a call and after she accused me of lying after she supposedly went to the property and felt that it didn’t smell of smoke. Needless to say, we will never use Harris Property Management to book our home.

DeBeach ReviewIm writing this review with information that I would like to know before booking:Enter the ground floor and immediately go upstairs. 2nd floor is the main floor with a bedroom with a king bed and an attached full bath. Living room, which is a very nice size has a large comfortable sectional and two comfy swivel chairs. The balcony overlooks the lagoon which is beautiful all day! Our kids caught a ton of hermit crabs in the lagoon. To the right is the pier and is a very close walking distance. The boys fished off of it several times. They even caught two blue crabs! To the left is where you walk to the beach. Not a long walk but long enough to where you’d want to bring a wagon. However, it would be a very nice feature for the rental to provide a beach wagon. Perhaps build a small storage area downstairs with a beach wagon, chairs and some beach toys. That was a huge benefit to us at one of the other beach houses we rented a few years ago….if you’re able. Back to the balcony….absolutely love the big bar chairs and table, as well as the large eating table out there. So nice for those cooler summer evenings which we had two of those during our stay. The kitchen is plenty big! All of the necessary cookware and kitchenware is provided. The bar seats 3 people and they have an extra long table that seats 10. Perfect for our party of 11. The 3rd floor has the other three bedrooms. All with full baths! A room with a king sized bed and en-suite bathroom and th
