Great Location

Changing Latitudes is a beautiful home. We enjoyed our stay. When we arrived the floors had not been cleaned or swept. I called and they sent someone right away to clean the floors. I had to send pictures to verify the dirty floors. Beachball properties were very quick to respond when needed. The owners put the house up for sale while we were there. They wanted to do a showing one Sunday, Beachball called to see if it was ok and we declined. They were respectful of us. We would recommend Beachball properties and would love to stay at Changing Latitudes again next year if it is available.

Great house, near beach and restaurants

We were a group of 11 and the house worked out great. It was beautifully decorated, was spacious with its rooms and living area, had plenty of kitchen amenities, the pool was great after time spent at the beach, and sitting outside at the lower and upper decks was perfect. We had two access points to the beach across the street that were about 5-6 minutes walk (going left or right out of the house). You have to buy charcoal and liter fluid for the grill as it is not propane. Although the house is not beach front, the street traffic was not crazy nor very noisy at all. We are already talking about returning to Gulf Shores (since it was our first time) and definitely renting this house and through beachballproperties. They were great to rent through, provided very good communications and made the check in/out process easy. We had difficulty with our check in access code and when we called them, someone helped us out right away. We highly recommend them.

Very nice home

The home was very nice. We were told via direct message from the property owner that the beach access was only 0.03 miles away and “right across the street”, however it was actually 0.3 miles away and about a 6 minute walk to the public beach access. Overall, we were pleased with the home and would recommend for someone not needing direct beach access.

Late August get-a-way

Everything was as described. Plenty of room with all the amenities. Pool was very nice, but it would have been great if there was a little shade over it in the heat of the day. Property is close to beach access. Master bedroom is on the top floor, so if you have difficulty with stair it may not be the place for you. Very nice place, I would recommend for others.

Nice for family

Great property for generation family gathering. Husband and wife with grown daughter and her husband and right at 2 year old daughter and a close friend of the daughter. An issue with pool when arrived but it was taken care of that evening. Except should have be maintained afterwards so they didn't have to come back and shock the next day. But it worked out. Great location as long as you are not a beach person. We are not, so the pool worked well.

Christmas 2022 rough start

We had a great time enjoying each other and spending Christmas together. The house was updated and had enough room for the family of 6 adults, 1 child and a dog. There was a pool but due to the cold weather we did not use it. The house is conveniently located to many activities and the downstairs porch was nice. We got the access code to the house a little after the 4pm check in time which gave me a little scare, as we were driving from a distance. We arrived during one of the coldest nights and the heat did not work downstairs and we had no water in 2 of the bathrooms. We called the company and left a message with the answering service. We decided to get a hotel for my elderly parents as it was too cold and we were told it wouldn't be fixed that evening. We had to camp out upstairs the first night, as it was the only floor with heat. The next morning a nice service tech arrived and fixed the essential heat and water, it took a few hours to fully heat the house (as it was 42 degrees downstairs) but we were able to bring my parents into the home. We did not find that the home was sufficiently cleaned so I spent the first day cleaning and washing towels. By the 3rd night things were much better! We did have some unannounced people arrive from time to time to fix the pool we never used, I was concerned as I had not been given any notification. Overall, it was decent, as I think the place is nice but my experience was not the best. I do think the property manager should have reached out and followed up on our complaints and I think we should have known about the pool service techs, as they arrived in personal cars and we were so confused.

AMAZING STAY AND LOCATION

This house was definitely a step up from other properties near by that are "just getting by". It turns out our other friends booked a house that had all nice pictures but when they arrived was far from the truth. Thank God I had this house and it was everything we needed and more! The owner were a pleasure to work with and took care of accommodating all of our needs! Thank you BeachBall Properties!

Nice place

the house has clearly been recently renovated with no complaints from us about the cleanliness or repair of the home. Unfortunately the pool was not in operation, which was fully disclosed by the property manager at the time of booking. The house will be a bigger draw with the pool back in operation. Check in and Check out were very simple. WiFi was supplied and very easy to access and covered the entire property. The property manager utilized an app for communication/leasing information/document access which is lacking. Communication was hampered by the app-emailing or phone calls would have been much simpler. Access to the beach was approximately 20-25 houses away to the north and south (public beach access is at the intersection of 12th and 13th Street at Beach Blvd on either side of the block this home is on. Be prepared to walk a bit to get to the beach. Once to the beach, it is lovely.

Beautiful Home

This property is beautiful, it’s updated and perfect for a family. The rental agency was great to deal with. My only negative was that is was a bit of a hike to the beach accesses with all your beach stuff. We made friends with the people renting across the street and they allowed us to cut through.
