Beach time

After the softball tournament the week before, we spent the week in Gulf Shores. This house was perfect for 3 generations to stay and the grandkids loved fishing off the dock.

The Peaceful Lagoon

The house was exactly like t was described. Peaceful, relaxing and comfortable. Besides there being 2 really huge roaches in the downstairs bedroom. The refrigerator never got cold and I was over communicating it to the property manager. We kept milk and eggs in a cooler. Freezer worked fine. Lagoon was a hit for a nice cup of coffee early in the morning. Or a glass of wine in the evening as you watch the fish jump. Nice place, could use some updating.

Hire a new cleaning crew!!

Perfect location! Could be a beautiful property, but... Sand in the "freshly made beds", stray hairs everywhere... on the bathroom floor, in the shower, on the kitchen table. The floors where dirty when we arrived, washer full of wet towels and sheets, chairs on top of the kitchen table, so there was an attempt to clean the floors. We had no trash bags or spare TP. I did contact the manager and she sent someone over when a few of the items. I rarely give bad reviews, I understand things happen and this is a rental beach property that is likely abused by tenants, so this property needs to hire a new cleaning crew!

Read before staying at this property

The house on VRBO is extremely misleading to what it actually looks like. The house was not clean at all, a lot of dust, the sheets has stains in them, the couches had stains as well. The walls look horrible they had stains all over them. The bunk beds had broken pieces. Their was hairs on the bathroom walls. The refrigerator was not working on the first night. The balcony also had broken furniture. One of the tvs did not have an extension cord. We contacted the owner and maintenance did come out to fix the tv. The owner did ask to to send house keeping back but why would we even give house keeping another chance if everything was dirty and in plain view. I really wish I was able to post pictures on here because the house needs a lot of work on it. I have stayed at many places and this is the one place that I do not recommend staying until everything is actually fixed. The stairs leading up to the house are rotten as well.

Peaceful area, easy walk to beach

House was wonderful, had what we needed and the kids really enjoyed the sand and water in the back yard - caught fish and crabs in the evenings! Such a quiet little area with a very convenient store (Pier 33) at the corner! Easy walk to public beach access, and there is beach service close by for chair and umbrella rental. Very short drive to the Hangout and all the fun places in that area. Highly recommend!

Very nice, good sized waterfront cottage

Very nice, good sized waterfront cottage. Ample space to hangout with family and enough bathrooms so everyone could get ready and out the door at the same time. Full sized washer and dryer was very handy after being at the beach all day. We had a little issue when we arrived with a couple things not being as clean as they should have been, but the company immediately sent someone out and took care of it. Customer service and responsiveness was amazing. They were not only willing to make things right, they were kind and courteous as well. I look forward to staying in one of their properties again. The backyard was sand with a wooden walkway out to the water; very relaxing and peaceful. We were able to see fish and blue herons, which was very nice. The neighborhood was nice with good places to take a walk. They proudly had 2 american flags displayed, which just topped off the feeling of the cottage. The balconies were probably our favorite places to sit, visit and drink coffee. ahhhhhhhh such a relaxing space to spend time with family. Even our dogs had a wonderful time.

Perfect location

We enjoyed our stay. Very convenient to everything. Pier 33 was walking distance with a coffee shop upstairs. Beach access was easy to get to. The rooms were comfortable and had access to Netflix and other streaming services which the kids loved watching their shows. It has a lagoon in the back where you can fish. Perfect location to all the action in Gulf Shores.
