Great beach cottage

Gulf 4 Shore is a great cottage and was perfect for our stay. Everything we needed was provided including a beach wagon, chairs and a beach umbrella. We loved the convenient location - everything we wanted to do was in walking distance. And our dog loved the fenced in yard! We hope to return again soon.

Great Gulf Shores Beach Location!

The house was perfect and just as advertised and perfect for a family or 1-2 couples to enjoy their time at the beach. The beach is just across the street so no need to fight (or pay!) for hard to find parking. The beach cart made it easy to roll everything down to the water for a relaxing time at the beach. Several restaurants are within a few minutes walk or hop in the car and anything you care to eat is less than 5-10 minutes away. We hope to be back!

I have a suggestion that might help other families. Our door didn't have a deadbolt at all or a safety latch on the door. Anyone with a credit card could enter this condo easily. Also, since there were no deadbolt on the door my kids could open the door and leave at any time, this was an issue for my family, we used the baby gate on the outside because we were scared they would escape while we were asleep. At my house, we have a code lock as well but it is a deadbolt style so I would recommend that just for over all safety for future stays along with the security for families. Overall it was an amazing stay and my family enjoyed it very much!

Yard grown up, house swayed when someone walked across the floor, roaches in bathroom, rug in living room dirty from animals, furniture dirty, mattress in front bedroom make you feel like falling out of bed because lumpy would not recommend this house

Very clean and great location

We loved the property and having the fenced in yard for our dog. The house could benefit from a dishwasher and put the microwave on the counter, it was in a bad location. Also, could have benefited from dishcloths n dish detergent since there was no dishwasher. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Definitely will stay again!

The house is super cute and very conveniently located to everything, with options for pet friendly places this was overall the best we’ve stayed at. Our only complaint was they should invest in new rugs or get rid of them all together they reeked of dog pee and had what looked like fresh pee on it. we had to roll them up and set the aside. Besides that 10/10 would stay again our kids and dog loved it with the fenced in yard!

Cute house; Great location

The house is super cute and in a great location. Beautifully decorated and comfy. Only issue is the yard was overgrown and full of stickers. Therefore, we couldn’t use the yard area and the grass was taller than our dog, so he had a little trouble. There is no dishwasher or disposal in the kitchen.
