Cute TINY place

The location is what you're paying for. It's super close to the beach and a little grocery store right next door. The condo has generally clean surfaces, the ducting needs to be cleaned as the walls around the ducts had dust/dirt on the walls. When they say the bathroom in small, they mean it. Two people cannot be in the bathroom at the same time. However, it is in a great location.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

The location was great. Nice beach access. The unit was cozy, which is fine. It had ample parking, and a nice front porch. Our concerns were: 1. The bed linens were old, the pillows smelled, and there were not any extra blankets, only one lightweight bedspread. 2. The bathroom floor was not clean, the shower curtain liner had mold along the bottom, the towels were stored in a wood cabinet, that left a smell to the towels, and there were random holes, and screws in the walls. Very poor finish work. 3. The TV had many channels that you had to pay for, we tried daily just to find network channel, never did. 4. No hairdryer as advertised. The air conditioning, and ceiling fans worked well. The common area was pleasant.

Cute and private

This was our 2nd time staying so obviously we enjoy it. It is quaint but clean. It takes a minute for the shower to warm up, the toilet may need flushed twice on occasion, and bedroom tv appears to be on the blink, but overall a fine place! It's great to be able to sit on the patio and watch traffic at night.

Great location close to the beach

Like a lot of the other guests have stated, property is small but gets the job done. The bathroom/shower is a bit tight. But it provides a great location of the beach and all the amenities are really close. I like having my own parking spot available. I also enjoyed the market right down from it to pick up beach/booze/food/souvenir needs you may have. I wouldn't recommend this place for a large group but works for the needs we had.

Memorable Fishing Trip

This is a very unusual rental in the beach area. It is totally in the middle of Gulf Shores. Walk to the State pier also to West Beach is convenient. I'm 76, but its easy to get to many places in the area. Its a place I will stay again. I highly recommend for two to four people. A fine place to stay with total kitchen and all comforts in a compact place. Tom Chambless

My sister and I take a yearly trip together and Gulf Shores is where we chose this year. The bungalow was perfect for us. We loved being able to walk to the beach, going to eat at the many places close by. We enjoyed the evenings setting out on the balcony. It was rainy while we were there so spent some time in the bungalow and enjoyed the many options on the television.

April 2023 Stay

We stayed two nights. Loved the location, but the place could use some help. We contracted bed bugs from staying there! We contacted the management company after the fact and let them know they needed to get a pesticide service in there. The place was rented again right after us, not sure how well it could have been inspected! We watched a rat run back and forth on the lower cement patio, going back and forth from the yard and garbage. Will not be staying there ever again.

The property was pretty good overall. But, a 4:00 checkin is pretty late. I am paying for that day but can't check in til 4? And then at the last minute they sent a text saying checkin is at 5! Also, property said it had bathtub - it did not. My wife was very disappointed by this. And just 1 thin blanket in the whole place! It was cold
