Wonderful Stay

We absolutely enjoyed staying at your beautiful home. Perfect location, quiet, and peaceful. The fishing dock was a favorite for my family who loves to fish, and the easy access to the ocean was a major plus. Every about our stay was lovely. Thank you so much!

Just okay

The inside of this property is beautiful. I had absolutely no issues there. The outside, though, leaves a lot to be desired. There are broken lounge chairs everywhere, which seem to be forgotten about. There are weeds completely overtaking the sand area. The pavers are cracked and broken. The pool area is beautiful, as well as the dock. All in all; it was a nice home, but for the price and from photos, I would have expected a little more maitenance.

I forgot to establish how kind and helpful the Owners are. We had a special need they took care of

We had an outstanding vacation at this Beach House with a refreshing salt water pool. The Gulf was sparklingly clear and warm, and easily accessible to the home. The house slept 12 comfortably and had a huge open space for all 11 of us to gather in the LR and kitchen. The kitchen was very nicely furnished with plenty of room for 3 of us to prepare an occasional full meal. Our family of 11 enjoyed every aspect of the house. We are in our mid-70's, so it was great that we had a BR downstairs; the adult children and Grandblessings loved their privacy upstairs. It's important that I emphasize how kind and helpful the owners are. We had a special ne ed and they took care of it without charge. We eagerly look forward to returning! The Goforth Family

The house was amazing and great location.

The how has access to Little lagoon in the back and about 2 blocks walk to the beach in front. The owners have a book with recommended sites and restaurants. We did several outings and beach days. Very laid-back town for a relaxing vacation. I recommend if you fish to pick up poles and a license on your first day. Fishing off the peer in back was fun for all. The little general store up the road has everything you need to fish. Enjoy.

Fantastic Gulf Experience

The location of Waterside West was PERFECTLY nestled between the lagoon and the Gulf of Mexico. Only one block from the beautiful beach and just steps from the lagoon. Within walking distance to the beach, to the market, or to a nearby restaurant for a quiet relaxing stay. Jellyfish getting in the way of your beach experience? No worries!!! This property has a gorgeous saline pool. We pretty much lived in it all week. The house was spacious, well-stocked, and everything else that it said it would be. We will be back next year. Thank you!

We loved it and it was perfect for us! We didn’t realize it was a duplex until we arrived but our neighbors were very kind and polite as well. The pool was small but worked well, and the location was perfect. Any issue we had was resolved quickly. We will stay again!!

Slice of Heaven

Our group of 11, (11 years and up) enjoyed our stay on the West side of this property. It was a prime location to the beach, which I noticed not all properties in this area are privy to. House was well stocked. Pool area was clean. Dock area was beautiful! Check in and check out were super easy. Lots of memories made. Thanks!!

Perfect

I am a first time Vrbo renter and could not be more pleased with the experience. Lagoon was peaceful, pool perfect size and distance to the beach a short walk. I had my whole family on this vacation and it was beyond words! We had enough room indoors and out, loved that we could grill, loved the dining tables inside and out were large enough for us all to gather.

Family vacation 2023

We had a wonderful week in Gulf Shores! The house is very nice and 11 of us stayed very comfortable. We loved the pool and used it everyday. The weather cooperated and we left 2 snow storms and -15 temps behind. I would recommend this property for sure! Just realize that this is the west unit and there is an east unit and you do share the pool and parking and dock.

Big house in amazing location!

The house was set up wonderfully! The dock is amazing and has much wildlife or great place to hangout. The pool and outside area was great to hangout with everyone and everyone had a place to relax. Room sizes were great and spacious. Large open concept living room and kitchen area. We host our reception here for 25 people and we had plenty of space to move around!

Perfect Vacation Spot

We had an absolutely amazing time during our stay! The house was perfect for our group. There was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen has everything you need and more, the beds were comfortable, the common area has tons of seating so no-one feels left out and there were plenty of outdoor spaces for everyone to relax. The location could not have been better. With our own pool and pier and a VERY short walk to the beach, we barely left the area. The owners were very personable and made sure we had everything we needed. I don't usually write reviews, but this one deserves 5 stars. Will be re-booking this property if we decide to visit the area again!

Excellent property

Fantastic weekend stay with group of friends and family in town for the triathlon. We rented both East and East houses. Perfect location. Loved fishing and crabbing in the lagoon. Kids enjoyed the pool time. Very spacious indoors, and common areas outside on the joining decks and under the house for cooking and cocktails. My only suggestion is bring a fan for sitting outside on decks this time of year! Kitchen was very well stocked, as was the storage area for pool toys. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return next year!

Nice, spacious, conveniently located- needs a little TLC.

The property was spacious and conveniently located. A few issues we experienced were: Instead of repairing the leak under the garbage disposal before we arrived, we were told not to use the disposal upon arrival because there was a leak. No offer to repair it at all. There were loose boards(with nails sticking out) on the back deck that would spring up when you stepped, creating a safety hazard. The threshold from inside the property into the stairs to go out had a high lip that caused everyone to practically trip forward down the stairs- dangerous! My feeling is that, while this property was very nice, it could use a little TLC.

Family that loves being at the Gulf!!

Why they chose this property

Incredible property that provides seclusion and gorgeous sunsets over the lagoon but still on a direct beach access street. The best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

Very rare to find a house on the back bay, where you can fish, swim, kayak, private beach, dock and of course SUNSETS!!!!! and also have a direct walk on a quiet street to the Gulf in 90 Seconds. This property has it all.
