We had a fabulous stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and the perfect place to relax and spend quality time with family. It was close enough to easily walk to the beach, which made our trip even better. The home had everything we needed, and we truly enjoyed our time here. We would absolutely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway!

Amazing!

The property was clean and cozy for a little family trip. Loved that it was dog friendly with a small run for the dogs so they could get a break from the leash. Definitely hoping to stay again!

Perfect place to stay!

My wife and I stayed here for the Hangout music festival. Great place to stay! Cute house and everything was clean and well kept. House had everything we needed. The bikes were great for a mid morning ride, and only a 20 min walk to the festival and a 5 min walk to the beach. Will definitely stay again if we’re back in town!

An absolute oasis for us! Clean and comfortable, our dogs loved it here and so did we. Walking distance to many restaurants and the beach - for us this included the annual Gulf Shores Shrimp Festival. Our host Vickie was amazing and helpful. We won’t stay anywhere else on our next trips!

Great family vacation!

The house was in very good condition and we were very happy to have found a property that would accommodate our family and our fur babies. Communication with the hostesses was never an issue and they were very prompt answering any questions or concerns we had. Our family would be willing to stay at any property that this host has.

Great location!

We enjoyed our stay. The property was in a great location and was clean and well equipped. The management was friendly and very helpful. I really appreciate that they had liquid hand soap in the kitchen and each bathroom. The wagons/dollies were fantastic to carry the beach equipment. Highly recommend Low Key!

Wonderful House!

House is remarkably clean, neat, tidy and spacious. All the comforts of home are provided including large tvs, washer/dryer etc. Beach is a short distance away with public access close by. Small snafu on check in but was taken care of right away with no further problems. Would definitely enjoy staying again.
