Spring Break 2025

A friend group of 8 stayed here for spring break! The house was clean and fit us comfortably! Great communication with property managers! Only problems were the WiFi didn’t work and the bunk beds in the bunk room were wobbly other than that we had a great stay!

Simple comfortable and convenient

The house is cute and bedrooms were clean. Plenty of room to spread out. Kitchen was great. The yard was a nice feature for us, since we were traveling with dogs. Pool was nice. And the location was quiet and close to the beach. Main complaints were dirty floors, stains on the couch and poor TV reception for the direct TV. Overall a pleasant stay.

Great location! Close to everything.

The location is perfect and close to everything. The communication with the property managers was excellent. Any question we had was addressed promptly. The listing is a bit misleading with the lower bedroom, but we did not need the space so it was fine. There are a few things that would really make this rental, an excellent stay. An upgrade to the mattresses would be great. And the chairs by the pool are cheap and cracked, so the some lounge chairs would be great to make a for a better experience at the pool. The house is decorated cute. And there is plenty of space for two people. It being dog friendly was the reason we booked this.

Updates

I really like the house. It’s our 2nd time staying there. However, it could use some TLC outside. Please invest in new outside pool chairs. They are old and busted and only 3 chairs. No internet all week but we made that work.

A few things but we had a blast!

We had the best time on our trip. We reported that the pool lights weren't working, they weren't able to get them fully working before we left ( but they did try and we were informed of a leak in the pool by the pool guy). The front porch had a dip/lean in it and under the seating area on the front porch there is nothing stopping a crawling child Or dog from falling off of the porch. The back porch has lose look on the stairs (my 2 year old grabbed onto it going downstairs and he almost fell threw the handrail part. The front door has an automatic lock which we loved but there was no deadbolt which we didn't like. There was no way to really lock the doors at night. We have a 2 year old who was very easily able to open the door and walk out. The beach was a short walk. We originally rented a golf cart and come to find out golf carts ARE NOT allowed on the roads there. Shops are really close and convent. Neighbors were super nice. PLENTY of towels were provided, water/dryer worked perfectly. Smart TV is in living room but not bedrooms which have directv (or dish). Not very many pans/pots. There was no broom (we looked everywhere) but were able to locate a vacuum that kind of picked up stuff off of floors. We made everything work and had a great time though! Easy company to contact and work with.

Would definitely go back

The property was great for the price. Overall the stay was great, it’s a super quick walk to the beach, the pool was clean and great. The house was nicely renovated upstairs and the downstairs was perfect for people okay with being a little tight. Would definitely stay here again. There were some issues like the downstairs closet being completely full so it was unusable and there being a few lights out in the home and downstairs but those were very minor things.

Fall Break

I stayed here with 4 adults and 1 kid. The location was great with a very easy walk to the beach. The pool was freezing and pretty much always in the shade. They needed to invest in a pool heater. All the railings on the stairs are falling off which is dangerous for kids. There is only 1 mirror in the main house which makes it extremely difficult to get ready. The internet didn’t work at all. Luckily we had someone in our party who was able to figure something out with the extender because we put in a work ticket but they showed up to fix a screen instead. We didn’t know anything about a screen. Also— make sure to bring toilet paper, detergent and ALL needs! Wasn’t the greatest house. I wouldn’t stay here again

Gulf shores is beautiful

This place was very nice. I only had a few minor issues, and they are minor. My door code didn’t work when I got there but I called them they had us in immediately, the tv system was a little out dated but your on vacation it’s really not your top priority. The house is beautiful, clean and the A/C was the best I’ve ever experienced in a vacation home. The pool guy was super friendly they kept up in the cleanliness of the pool. The location is right in the middle of everything. The walk to beach is a little far but I’m not complaining. I would stay here again and recommend others to do the same. Oh also they have tons of cookware for those who like to cook on vacay. Thanks beachball properties for making our vacation amazing!!

Everything was as advertised.

All amenities were as described. Actually had the AC quit for a bit and made one call and help was there within the hour. The only downside is there is a sewage lift station near by and when the wind was wrong you could smell it. And the new 3 story across the street blocked the view of the fireworks from the deck but we were able to walk down the street and watch. Overall an excellent stay for the price.

Property was clean. Had an issue on check in with the toilet when we first arrived. The property manager sent a repair man to the house and he was able to get it working. The only negative we had was that the stairs and downstairs area was not well lit at night. Overall we had a very nice stay.

Good but not clean

We enjoyed our stay besides when we arrived there was a leak in the ceiling also the house was not cleaned properly there was food on the floor, dead spiders on the counters also trash down in the bunk room, nasty q-tips in the bathroom upstairs the pool is also like bath water it's not cold at all. We contacted them on the leak and they showed up without telling me so I come home to a worker in the property without me knowing I was very frustrated with that! Other than these things it's a great location but we won't be staying there again

Disappointed

The cleanliness of the rental was unsatisfactory. There were chip crumbs in the master bed. The refrigerator had liquor and food left in it. The main toilet did not work and it took the following day to get it fixed. We had 6 members that travelled all day and desperately needed to use the restroom. We did enjoy the pool and location. Neighbors were very friendly.
