House was clean upon arrival and was a perfect space for our family vacation. Little hard to see the beach fromThe lower deck but overall a great place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
This was the most wonderful home to stay at with an exquisite view of the ocean. Very relaxing for the whole family and the corn hole was perfect for family time. We will definitely recommend the host to our family and friends.
The house was great. Added bonus to the house was all of the things they had for the beach, it was nice that we didn’t need to bring or buy anything for the beach. I would recommend this house and would stay there again.
Great House! Great host! Just one slight negative. The House is butted up next to the dunes which is a bit steep. There were lots of chairs and beach toys which made it an easier stay.
Our entire experience was great. We are a group of five old friends - the house was perfect for us, with beautiful views from bedrooms and living areas. The entire home is nicely furnished; the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room were fully equipped with everything we could’ve wanted. THE BEST THING … The area is all private homes - no high rise condos - so there were very few people on the beach in late August! The quiet, restful location was perfect for beach walks and relaxing, but close enough to restaurants, grocery stores and shops. Lisa was wonderful - communication was excellent, and she responded quickly to a small issue we had, that actually turned out to be ours, rather than a problem with the house. The only thing we’d change is the height of the dune, which inhibits somewhat the view of the beach from the lower balcony, as appears to be the case with most of the homes in that area. We knew the dune was there to help protect the house from wind and water, so we were ok with that!! We had a great time - thank you, Lisa!
The house was right on the beach with views of the ocean from every bedroom and every deck. Close to shops, restaurants, outlets and things to do, the location was great. The house was clean, comfortable and nicely equipped with all the necessities. There was even a basket of snacks and a nice welcome bottle of wine provided by the owners. All communications were answered promptly and pleasantly. I would highly recommend this property to anyone.
The home was very comfortable. We enjoyed the welcome package. The fact we were right on the beach was amazing. The host was very accommodating and easy to work with, we highly recommend this location.
Such a beautiful property, with a great view of the beach! The house was well stocked, and the property manager, Lisa was very responsive and helpful! We had a great family vacation!
We had the most wonderful stay. The host was so helpful and responded quickly when I had any questions. We had the most precious welcome gifts and the house was literally perfect! Highly recommend staying here
This house is AMAZING! My family had the best time. Would recommend! Don’t waste your time on renting a condo, THIS is the place that provides luxury, comfort, and unlimited wildlife sightings! The BEST!
I am Phyllis Campbell the owner of By The Sea. My husband and I are from North Alabama and have had a beach get away for 30 plus years. We started on the Florida Coast then inched our way to the Alabama Gulf Coast with the purchase of our first property in Alabama in the eighties.
We love the privacy and convenience of west beach and fell in love with this home which we affectionately named “By The Sea”. We used the home for many years as our family's second home, also for family reunions as well as both our daughter's weddings.
Our daughter, Lisa Ray, lives locally and manages the rentals on our beach home.
By The Sea is located right on the Gulf of Mexico with beautiful white sandy beaches. Gulf Shores is a small town with a big beach and is very family friendly. Our home is located in the west beach area conveniently located near many local restaurants and shops. Baby Equipment Rentals https://www.babyquip.com?a=537f1fb
Our home offers the ideal location for small weddings, family reunions or just a relaxing vacation. The west beach area of Gulf Shores offers a large beach with the privacy and seclusion unlike the more heavily populated areas still just minutes away from everything.
