We loved being on the lagoon side. We had 2 families with 3 teenagers. It was a perfect fit for all of us. The rental wasn’t the cleanest, I had to do the floors before I could unpack. That was the only downfall of this property. We would rent here again.

Needs a new housekeeper

We’ve stayed at the lazy pelican two times because it is a nice little area to fish on the river. They have 2 condos so we stayed once on each side. All I can say is the place is filthy and things are in ill repair . This time it was the sliding glass door and the master bath wouldn’t get hot. They did send somebody out to fix it , the time before it was a sliding glass door, the handle was broken. They didn’t send anybody to fix that .It’s nice that it’s right there on the river. You can just walk out the door and go to the river or a little beach area, fish, whatever you wanna do but the floors were nasty with sand everywhere ( I’m sure they had not been swept from the previous guest.) I opened the oven door. There was a towel in the bottom of the oven drawer. It goes on and on. Hopefully they will get a new housekeeper. I wish I could say we’d stay again, but I doubt it with the filthiness.

This Nebraska Crew Loved our Stay!

Everything was perfect! The location, communication with the property manager, ease of check-in, lagoon access, private shared dock and quaint beach area on the lagoon side, across the street from the ocean, we loved it all! We are already planning our next trip down!

Overall our stay here was amazing! The view was great, the backyard had a ton of wildlife for the kids to catch and play with and the sand was a huge hit. The location could not have been better. The only issues we had were that it looked like the house needed some maintenance and cleaning. Some of the floor boards were taped down, the couch was broke, the bathtub knob was broke, and some stains on the comforters but that was pretty minimal to the overall stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Off Season Getaway

My family rents a house in Gulf Shores for the Month of November every year. This house fit our needs very well with easy access to the beach as well as a pier directly off the back deck for lagoon fishing. Had some technical difficulties with the cable and internet but property manager was very responsive and had issue fixed within a few hours. Good value for the location and 4 bedroom is perfect size for my family. I would recommend and rent again.

Great

Home was clean. Dishwasher needed service (water not heating). Attentive service immediately Shampoo and conditioner were great on my curly, frizzy hair, and smells wonderful! Little kids loved the calmer waters of the lagoon, which made nap times easier, as we didn’t have to drag them across the street…

I picked this unit for the location, which was great for my family. The small beach area on the lagoon was perfect for my 17 month old. Unfortunately, we where relocated after the first night of our stay due to the severity of black mold present in the house. The situation took up a whole day from our family vacation ( maintenence, mold company and AC company coming in and out to inspect). We were moved into a cheaper unit (although nicer) and not given a full refund of the difference between the two units. I will say the property management was quick to respond but disappointed in the situation and not receiving the appropriate refund.

Great home but could use some updates

We recently stayed at this property for our beach vacation. The house was nice overall. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. The kitchen needed some more cleaning. The shelves in the pantry were gross. Dishes were not clean, but then we realized it was probably because the dishwasher did NOT clean the dishes. Probably a combination of it needing serviced and we could never get hot water to the sink. Luckily we brought paper plates and plastic wear. The microwave and stove/oven needed to be cleaned. The grill downstairs worked, but is probably a fire hazard in its current condition. The upstairs patio had a shade to close for privacy from neighbors but was broke. The walls and baseboards definitely needed cleaning. We thought about calling but then our vacation would be interrupted by cleaning & maintenance crews. For as much as they charge for a cleaning fee, it should have been cleaned better and inspected by management company before arrival. The dock and beach access to the bay was amazing!! Beautiful view for sunset and sunrise. Overall, it was fine…but would probably stay somewhere different next time.
