The house needs to be updated, recliner is uncomfortable, the fold out couch is terrible, only one TV with wifi, the wax ring on the toilet is leaking, the breaker box doesn't have a cover on it so electric wires are exposed which is very dangerous, AC couldn't keep up with the heat outside

Over all, the location is nice. Unfortunately it needs some work and renovation. When we pulled up the first thing that stood out was piles of scrap lumber leaned over the picnic table underneath the house, one was spray painted with orange paint. Just didn’t look inviting. The grill was knocked over and soffit was hanging from the eves. On entering the house, first impression was good, but noticed the couch and chairs were stained pretty badly. Just could use a little freshening up! Over all though we did have a great stay.

We were a family of 6 staying here everything was clean, some furniture was out of date and had stains but wasn’t a big deal to us we have kids so we understand. The host kept in contact with us and checked in with us which was really nice. The yard did need to be mowed but it also rained some too. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.

I ignored the reviews... big mistake! Roaches,no wifi, shower leaks allover floor, soft spots in flooring, open sewage drain in laundry room, very few dishes an very few things to cook with , says priced lower to accommodate construction but you won't see anything being done finished or even started. The door doesn't shut properly sometimes making it hard to lock. Stairs in need of repair.

Spring Break
I came on a spring break getaway with my granddaughter and her other grandma. The location was wonderful. We went to the beach, shopped, and ate out in several places. Overall, we had a great time. The house itself was not a real positive. There was a large gap under the door that could let in lots of undesirables. There were mouse droppings in the cabinets and bugs in the kitchen. The toaster was rusty, and we didn't feel safe using it. Needless to say, we bought plastic and paper or ate our meals out. I hope to come back to Gulf Shores, but wouldn't stay in the same place.

Lovely single family dwelling
The ac was extremely cold, much to my liking. The oven, stove, fridge, and plumbing all worked well. The washer, dryer, bbq pit, oak trees, and shaded area under the house were all bonuses. Plenty off street parking and we weren’t close to other houses, and we were a five minute walk from the beach. The downstairs outside shower was a huge convenience. It is on the small side but it worked well for my parents, my wife and I and our 17 and 9 year old daughters.

Good location, corner lot with no houses crowded up to this property so felt private, which is nice. House is comfortable and air conditioning works great; since we were there in July this was important. House is very sparsely provisioned though. No place to hang up wet bathing suits/towels. No shower head on outdoor shower. Only one lamp in living room. Water very rough on Gulf side/NOT good for small children/seniors. But lagoon side very calm with sandy bottom and little quiet beach.
