Unforgettable Vacation
This was a fun and relaxing vacation for our group! The house is great! It is very nice and has everything you need for the beach so no need to bring much from home! The pool was also very nice for the adults and kids to relax after a long day at the beach. Chris and Katie were quick to respond and kind with any questions we had! Highly recommend staying here!

It was a great property. Everything was clean and well designed. The host was great at getting in touch with us. They had all the towels ans toys and wagon for the beach which was very nice to have already there. The pool was excellent. It was the highlight for the kids. It was fully stocked with anything and everything you could have needed. I definitely recommend staying there.

Family trip
We stayed 6 nights with a family of 5. Plenty of room for us. 1.5 blocks walk to public beach access. Beds were comfortable. Pool is small but well maintained, with good seating options. Back sliding doors were a little tricky. Nothing at all that took away from our stay, just not as updated as other places we’ve stayed at in Gulf Shores.

Amazing Vacation
Amazing house – everything we needed and more!I booked this home as a new listing with no reviews, and I’m so glad I did. The house was exactly as described—super clean, spacious, and stocked with everything we could possibly need. The pool and outdoor seating area were perfect for relaxing, and we grilled out two nights using the nice grill provided.They even had everything for a stress-free beach day—chairs, an umbrella, and a wagon to haul it all. The walk to the beach was very manageable—my 65-year-old dad had no trouble at all. Our group of 7 had a fantastic time with plenty of space for everyone. Highly recommend!

We had a great time at this home. Our group of 10 was very comfortable for the week. Decor and furniture is really nice and comfortable, in great condition. It’s obvious the hosts put a lot of thought into the comfort of their guests. There are lots of extra spaces to hang out, like the covered patio and various decks. They supply plenty of beach toys/chairs and wagon was very helpful. Pool was warm and clean. Walk to the beach was 5-7 minutes. The beach access point was a great spot, not too crowded because there are no high rises around! Great communication with host. We would stay here again for sure. We loved it!

Cleanliness
Overall our stay was great. Loved the location and we spent a ton of time in the pool. It was very nice having beach toys and pool toys available as well! The only thing we noticed upon arrival was cleanliness. Some of our bed sheets were stained / appeared dirty. There were also some crumbs left by the couch and under the couch along with a binky. Night stand tables had trash from the previous people. It made us wonder if the cleaning crew did a top notch job. Besides those few things we had a great time! We are the type of people that hate to complain in anyway shape or form. Hoping this helps you for the future!Thank you!
