Fun on the beach

This property was located right on the beach for easy ocean access. The rooms were very spacious and the bunk room was perfect for all the kids we had. One thing we did not like was that the door locks every time it closes. We had to put in a code every single time to get inside. There has to be a better system. Other than that, we had no complaints. There is plenty of fun to be had right iut the back door on the beach and there are tons of fun things to do within 10 miles of the house. We would definitely stay in this house again :)We had to put in the long code everyTi

Family of 6 approved

We loved the location of house. If you want to enjoy the beach and the ocean, it’s perfect. We loved the covered porch too. The house itself needs updates and definitely wasn’t fancy, but served our purposes. The bunk room is crammed, but our kids didn’t mind. The other bedrooms were fine and the 2 bathrooms were tiny but nice. Plenty of places to sit both inside and out! We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful view needs maintenance

This house was located relatively close to all the activity in town and being right on the ocean has phenomenal views. We found it to be in a safe neighborhood and was relatively clean.This property does need some maintenance. Several issues were reported to the property management company; unfortunately, many of them were not appropriate to address during our stay. As an example, the refrigerator had shelves held together with tape and its drawers were cracked and broken making them difficult to open. The cushions on the porch furniture were dingy so, we chose not to use most of them. The house gives "party house" vibes, which varied from our family's expectations. If you are looking for a well-maintained, pristine property, you may want to research other locations. If you are looking to enjoy the beach, hang out around town/sightsee, and can overlook maintenance issues, this property is a good value.

Awesome location

This home is a great fit for our family. Right on the beach. The location couldn't be better. Not a luxury home - expect a used home with imperfections.

Family is what makes a trip

The view of the beach from the house and family is what made this stay great. The house itself, not so great. The most annoying thing was punching in a 10 digit code every single time we had to get in the house. There was no way to disable it while you were in the hours. So if we were sitting on the porch you might as well leave the door wide open so you don’t get locked out. The house needs a lot of work. The roaches, ants, no toaster tray, one stove burner not working, moldy vents, clogged drains, and no drain stoppers is just to list a few things wrong. I could go on and on. Anyway, would I stay here again nope!

The Beach House

Definitely could have been cleaner. Someone should tell the staff not to do home improvements while someone is renting. Getting a broom to sweep the sand from the floor was difficult. Mold on the vents in the bathrooms.

Amazing view, needs some maintenance

View from the porch is amazing. There’s a few cosmetic things to fix. Paint peeling, chips flaky off. A couple of structural fixes. The floor by the couch is spongy and the eave out front is coming apart. It’s very clean and wifi is good. Great place if you’re outside a lot. If you’re an indoor person, this will bother you.

This house was great for our family!

The house was clean and very practical. Excellent for 2-3 families, IMO. The amenities were very good. The access to the beach was fabulous and driving to Gulf Shores central area was about three minutes. We loved it and would highly recommend this place. The Cartwrights Arkansas

Girls Trip 2023

We loved the location on the beach and a short walk down to the ocean. The house was very roomy and larger that it appears from the outside. With connecting bath and bedrooms it was convenient. Only one bedroom did not connect, the one with bunk beds. The drive-in parking area was very tight, so only one of our vehicles was narrow enough to be pulled up under the house. But there is parking enough for more vehicles in the driveway.

Family Spring Break

The location of this property is amazing! Steps from the beach. We visited Gulf Shores for a family spring break. There were 6 adults and 4 kids. The double bunk bed room was perfect for the kids. The house was clean, but could use some updating. The house was stocked with kitchen utensils, pans, etc. however didn't have some of the common items I typically find in these homes such as salt, pepper, coffee filters, etc. Overall we had an great stay!
