Great stay

We were 5 friends staying together - 2 couples and a single. Property worked great for us. Nice beach access. It's a bit of a drive to Gulf Shores (30 minutes) but we consider that a benefit. Nice, quiet and residential where the house is. Hosts were very communicative and responsive.

Outstanding Home!!

Our family stayed at the home in Gulf Shores AL. The home was everything we could’ve hoped for! Plenty of room, clean, and well stocked. We were steps from the beach! Highly recommend Doug and Rose to book with! He was very responsive to messages and checked on us throughout our stay to make sure everything was up to our expectations. We cannot wait to book our next trip with them!

Fall Beach Trip

It was a wonderful time of year to visit. Coffee and reading on the deck every am, sand and sun all day, cocktails and company in the evening. Perfect get-together with adult kids and friends. Place was fully stocked with essentials and lots of extras for enjoying the beach. We will be back next fall.

Family vacation

My family and I really enjoyed staying here. The house was clean and comfortable. When we weren't at the beach, we were playing the mini putt putt course or corn hole that the house offered. There is also a storage room full of beach supplies. The patio and many of the rooms had nice views of the gulf. The neighborhood was quite and the beach wasn't very busy for our trip in May, which was nice. No issues with getting in or out of the place and the owners were excellent at communication. We will definitely plan on booking again.

Just a great stay!

Location turned out to be great. Short drive to my 2 favorite restaurants, and golf/Kiva Dunes. Views of the ocean even better than expected. Walk to the beach was shorter than last 2 condos that were ‘on the beach’. And really nice small/extra touches…a full spice rack, assorted k cup coffee choices etc. just a very nice stay. Joel👍

Amazing

Everything about this home was absolutely amazing. The living room, dining room and deck look directly out over the beach and Gulf of Mexico. The beach access is about 30 yards from the front steps. This home is very clean and very well maintained. The home had plenty of room for our party of six with room for more. We all enjoyed our time here and would love to come again. The owner is quick to respond and very helpful and friendly. A+

Out the door into the ocean.

This property was located literally on the beach sand, from the time you step off the pad you are on the beach dunes and feet away from the ocean, there were new easy to use tv's in every room, updated furnishings and stylish decor, views are great towards the ocean a clear view of the waves all day long, the shower located underneath the house was awesome to clean up before going into the house and the local sources of food and entertainment were enjoyable. We were a family of four and did not even use all the bedrooms plenty of additional beds were available. Will definitely recommend this home and be back in the future.

Family Gettaway

I was looking for a place that would allow a larger dog and room for family members if they were able to join us. This beach house fit the bill and has everything you would need to enjoy yourself on the beach. They have beach chairs, boogie boards and even a wagon to carry everything. The beach house is beautiful, with three king size beds and two bunkbeds and the kitchen is stocked with anything you'll find in your own kitchen, even an instant pot. I was going to bring mine from home but didn't have room for it so I was very excited to see one there. This was the most relaxing vacation I've had in a long time. It felt like my home away from home. Checking in and out was the easiest ever. Thank you for sharing your beach house with us.

Perfect Beach Property

My husband and I decided we were tired of hauling suitcases and kids through busy parking lots and in and out of elevators on vacation so we decided to look for a house for our next beach stay. I am so happy we found this listing! The home is very clean and extremely well kept. The beds and furniture are so comfortable, which is so rare these days. The views from the deck are amazing and there is a lot of great parking and outdoor space. The owner communicated with me multiple times throughout the process to make sure we were happy. Do yourself and favor and just book this place, you won’t regret it. The house is located in the Fort Morgan area, it is a beautiful drive there is a much more relaxed vibe than the surrounding towns. I’m already looking at the calendar to find out when we can come back!

About the host

Hosted by Rose Larrabee

Host profile image
My wife and I have four kids and live in Kennebunkport, Maine. When we do have any free time (haha) we love to travel to our beach house in Gulf Shores. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do :) We started Waves & Wildnerness in 2020 and have been hosting full-time ever since.

Why they chose this property

You'll love that you can see the waves and smell the ocean, but you're not so close you have to deal with people walking in front of your house. You can walk down the stairs, take a few steps, and you're on the beach. If you need to head into town you're 10-20 minutes away from everything.

What makes this property unique

This beach house has a wrap-around deck with great views, is just steps to the beach, has an open concept living room, and strong wifi.
