There's nothing not to LOVE about this property and its location. There was ample space for our group of 13 and the location is a 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach. The kitchen is stocked above and beyond, SO many beach toys, outdoor shower, very nice pool, and great area to explore. We hope to return!

Family of 14, with 3 under 3, had a great time!

Everything was excellent, the space, the cleanliness, the LOCATION, the comfort. Two, very minor things to note - a few of the beach materials in the closet were in near-unusable shape - particularly the umbrellas and wagons. Also, the pictures show rugs in each room, but they are not there any longer.

Perfect location for the beach

The house is directly across the road from the beach access and we never had trouble finding our own area to spread out in. ( We had 10 people) The pool was perfect to wind down in after a day at the beach. The house had plenty of room for all of us and we never felt cramped. Our only concern was there is no door in the “bunk room”. All in all it was the perfect house for us

We stayed in Unit 6 in this quiet neighborhood. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the unit very clean and well kept. Highly Recommend. Host was prompt with questions we had and responded almost immediately. We were here in start of November 2023. Would have liked to had a heated pool. It was a little bit nippy. 😂 Thank you

Need to update the beach supplies. Chairs were moldy, and broke along with the beach umbrella and pop-up tent. We did not bring extra beach gear because it was stated that it was provided. Doors do not shut completely and we were short on sheets for the bunk beds. We did enjoy our time at the property and the location was fantastic.

Beach?

We enjoyed ourselves BUT I was under the impression we would be able to see the beach so that was disappointing...sure if you stand on the balcony and tilt your head to the right to look between 2 buildings you could kinda see the beach Not good for people that have a hard time with stairs ... lesson now learned

Space and Location Good

Condo good size for large group. We had three couples and easily could have held 4 kids. Floors could have been better swept and towels and sheets older with stains, but overall fine for our needs. As older couples, we like to sit on patio with our coffee in mornings, patio furniture inadequate for that purpose. Location to beach very close and made it in and out to shrimp festival with ease. Storage while we did not use, had toys, chairs, wagons and great parking under condo. All other renter were very friendly. Pool ok but weather to cold for use. Would recommend for younger couples with kids for easy access to beach. Just need updates to sheets, towels and outdoor furniture.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this lovely house in Gulf Shores. We had 4 families coming from 4 states to get together. Each family got a room for home base and some of the cousins shared the bunk bed room for sleeping. The house was clean and well-kept. The walk to the beach literally took 2 minutes and there was a cross walk. The pool was warm like a bathtub so not super refreshing in the Alabama heat, but that is to be expected in the summer. The kitchen had so many things available to use. The only thing we needed that wasn't there was a lighter for the grill, but we borrowed one from the neighbors the first night and purchased one that we left there. Check-in was easy and there was not a ton of unreasonable expectations for check-out. The temperature in the house was great with only one room feeling like they got a little hot at night (the room with 2 queen beds). Some of us were a little anxious parking underneath the house with the beams, but after a few times in and out we got used to it. Lots of beach stuff available, although some of it had been pretty well used over the season. It really was a nice place to stay. I wish the decks had some additional seating, but we moved some beach chairs onto the decks without chairs and all was good. The house is also close to lots of the activities, but not necessarily an easy walk to them.
