Our stay at Lagoon Time was very enjoyable. We love the location and the house is pretty well equipped (some minor issues like very few spoons, 1 wine glass). The management left plenty of hand soap as well as shampoo, body wash, conditioner and hair dryers in each bath. That was a nice surprise. They were very responsive when I was unable to figure out the elevator when we first arrived. They walked me thru what I needed to do promptly. We travel with our two small dogs and they enjoyed having a nice yard area to explore.

We loved the quiet area and nearby beach access. The elevator was a game changer for us, to be able to include my husband on this trip. I would definitely love to come back again some day.

Pros of the stay: on the lagoon, beautiful view from the back deck beautiful view from the front deck plenty of seating on both decks hose to water yourself off with after swim in the ocean super large kitchen super large dining room table great TVs very large all work with ease Great comfy mattresses king size bed beds, amazing plenty of room for all brought two dogs with, and it was great to have the enclosed back deck so they could come out there with us and enjoy being outside at night looking at the stars the covered area over the back deck is perfect so you can still sit out there when it’s storms Beautiful to watch the lightning come in over the lagoon. Super easy walk right across the street to the beach, beautiful beautiful beaches and ocean we saw dolphins and pelicans and seagulls.. some kinds which are absolutely really, no big deal. Are it would be nice to have a shower outside to rinse the sand off better. There was a little bit of maintenance that needed to be done on the house just minor things like this front stairway, some painting, and the bathroom handle adjustment for the shower. The upstairs bedroom one of the beds legs was coming off so we had to be careful with that but easy to fix the shower in the upstairs bathroom is very small. My son was 64 and couldn’t fit in there so we had to do some adjustments because he was the one that got the upstairs bedroom and we could not get the elevator to work properly, which was really not a big issue.

It is a very spacious house and was easy to get across the street to the beach, which was nice. This property is really meant for guests driving in and bringing all of their stuff for the beach, towels, etc. Our whole group was flying in and we had to buy beach chairs at Walmart because there wasn't anything there. Also, the elevator didn't work. We reached out and someone came out to fix it, but they didn't fix anything, didn't leave a note as to what we should do, and didn't respond to my follow up about it. The house also had no dish towels and only one bath towel per person, so we had to do laundry multiple times on our trip - not ideal on vacation.

Quiet Getaway
We absolutely loved our stay. This place was perfect for our quick trip to the beach. We stayed for a few days and would have loved to stay longer. The home was a quick walk across the street to a nice boardwalk taking you right to the beach. The home was away from congestion of the main areas and at the beach you had a pick of your spot with few people around. The only issues we had were working the showers and figuring out some of the fans and lighting.

Cute but…
The outside of the house was beautiful and the floor plan was great, but the cleaning was subpar, the kitchen was dirty and the furniture definitely needs to be updated and I felt like I walked into a 1985 Ethan Allan store. Whomever owns this place needs to spend a few bucks. The amount of money charged for the house, it should’ve had better kitchenware, rugs, and furnishings. Old pots and mix matched everything. Didn’t even have wine glasses. There’s no excuse for even being sold.lthere.

The property is on a road that is not congested with traffic which makes it very quiet and peaceful. The lagoon area is great and beach is a short walk across the road. There was a coffee pot but we brought our own and also some extra kitchen essentials which were needed. I highly recommend this house for a family get away.

Very large and roomy house. It would have been nice to know that the fourth bedroom with twin beds was on the second floor. It would have also been nice to know that there was no coffee maker, only a Keurig.

Great stay!
Nice property located close to all the Gulf Shores activities. The elevator was a huge help for my elderly parents and really boosted their enjoyment of their vacation.
Furnishings were a bit dated and it could have used another round of cleaning ( which is probably typical as our trip was off-season),but the house definitely had all the amenities required for a hassle-free vacation.

Best kind of beach- quiet
We chose this property mainly because of the elevator and all the rooms (for the most part) being on the same level. The house was equipped to prepare all our planned meals even birthday cupcakes. Loved having quick access to the bay as well as the beach. The beach was so perfect as we were one of just a few families. The walk to the beach was short. The back porch was perfect for morning coffee, and the large table was great for evening meals. It was a great week and changed our opinion of Gulf Shores.

Great property
We really enjoyed our stay. The home accommodated our group very well. The beach access is close and the views from the home were great. You can hear the waves from the front porch. We did wish for a few more pots, pans, etc that were larger to accommodate a larger group. The kitchen was slightly sparsely furnished if you plan to cook a lot during your stay. However we were able to make it work with what was provided for the most part. I would absolutely stay here again for the access to the beach and gulf shores. We really loved the layout of the home.

Memory Maker!
My husband and I and my 90-year-old mother-in-law chose Lagoon Time for a very special trip to the Gulf. It was the first time in years that my mother-in-law had visited the ocean, and it had been quite a while since I and my husband had spent time on Alabama's Gulf beaches. We had a blast and loved Lagoon Time. The views of the Lagoon from the back deck and living room windows were beautiful and provided a great spot to watch the sunsets. The front porch allowed us to see the white dunes and the blue of the ocean across the street. The house was spacious and clean, and the location was perfect for either staying put and enjoying the beach there, or taking off for day trips and local attractions. We all hated to leave and hope we can return soon.
