Excellent property. Highly recommend. Beautiful views. Easy access to beach and Gulf Shores for other amenities if you want. Only downside was we had to bring many items such as all beach equipment and shower products. Otherwise, the property managers were excellent and very responsive.

Amazing stay!
The house was clean, beautiful and up to date. The pool was very clean and much bigger than expected. Beds were comfortable and ac worked great. The beach wasn't crowded, it felt very private despite it being a busy weekend. Amanda from Prickett Properties was friendly and timely with her responses. 10/10 would book again!
Fantastic Property, Great Communication, Very Clean
We had a quick spring break trip and this house checked all the boxes and more. It's perfectly suited for a group, very clean and the pool and beach can't be beat.

Loved the house! Had everything we needed. Location on the beach couldn’t have been better. We had 7 kids under the age of 5 and it was so easy for us to get kids and gear to and from the beach. I would certainly stay there again.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that the house was perfect for your large family and that you enjoyed the pool and the close proximity to the beach. It sounds like you made the most of your stay with trips to the local market and some great meals at the house. We agree—the sunrises and sunsets are truly spectacular! We’d love to welcome you back for another unforgettable stay whenever you’re ready.
Upon arrival we quickly realized we had the best accommodations on the gulf coast. House is luxurious and immaculate. I love having both beachfront and pool. The dual refrigerators, dual stovetops and automatic icemaker all came in very handy. Tons of shopping and dining nearby.
Everything was excellent. Clean, plenty of space, easy beach access, wonderful views!
