Family vacation first time in Gulf Shores

Wonderful, spacious, comfortable, amenities were great. We had 8 adults ranging from 17-53. So it was nice that we all had our space when we wanted it. Spent many days and nights enamored by the ocean.

Best Gulf Shores Rental

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Marine life was abundant! Dolphins, manatees and so many more! House was immaculate! We couldn't ask for a more enjoyable stay! Beach house was close enough to Gulf Shores to be convenient but not close enough to be over run with other people. The house was well stocked and had everything from chairs to household items. We will definitely be back!

Comfortable house and great private beach.

Our group enjoyed this well stocked house. The kids loved having the upstairs living room to watch movies. The guys spent much time sorting fishing gear on the ground level with a great breeze. The whole house has fabulous views of the beach, ocean, and surroundings. The beach is not crowded and just steps away. A wonderful time was had by all.

Great Family Getaway

Our family, including our 6 children and 4 grandchildren had a wonderful week. We relaxed on the beach, enjoying the sun and surf. We enjoyed walks on the beach looking for shells, crabs and dolphins. We were out of the main traffic, but close enough to get to stores, attractions and restaurants. We would love to come back again.

We Found Our Paradise

One of our grandsons summed it up by saying out of all the vacations we have taken this one rated a 10 and was the best. The house is a little dated but that added to its charm. Walking in the front door you feel at home. Then when you see your view you feel you have found your paradise. The private beach was beautiful. The owner provided an abundance of beach chairs and toys. We added to the collection. The grandchildren enjoyed the crab traps. With their grandpas help they caught enough to add to our shrimp boil. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed to cook for a large family. The house was large enough for our family of 14. It was perfect with the two living areas. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. All of the beds were very comfortable. Plenty of bedding. I have saved the best for last. Each morning we sat out on the deck and watched the dolphins perform!!!!! One morning we counted 8. There were two with babies. This was a great experience for our grandchildren. While swimming in the beach we would also see them. On one occasion they were very close to us. The beach is beautiful. We had professional family pictures done right in back of the house. We sat out and watched the fireworks being shot off the pier on the 4th of July. Our family made memories we will never forget. The owner Kate was very nice to work with. Everyone is in agreement we will hopefully be renting this house again next summer. I rate this house and our vacation a 10! So glad we had this opportunity! Thank you Kate for sharing your home with us!!!!

Loved it!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay! It was just steps from the beach and the house had everything we could’ve needed! There was plenty of beds and room for the teenagers. It was also nice not having to take our own chairs or rent a kayak because the house had both!! We will definitely plan to return!!

Family Vacation 2019

The house was lovely and was equipped with every thing you could possibly need including tons of beach chairs & toys and the location was perfect. Away from all the condos on the east end. Took us awhile to locate the washer/dryer until we opened the closet outside in the parking area. This was a tad inconvenient as it rained the last three days we were there. Lol. Despite the rain we had a great time playing games and spending quality time with each other.

Very Impressive

All there is really to say is very impressive... from the view, to the interior, very beautiful. Very nice and comfortable, very spacious inside and out with large parking spaces, and porches, front and rear. With a secluded feel, yet close to everything, thanks so much again. Kate. For a great Vacation.

Fabulous

Such a beautiful place. Everything you need is at the house. Kayak, surf boards, towels, plenty of beach toys. Kitchen is fully stocked. All you really need to bring is food & toiltries. Perfect location. Close enough from the town so beach is very private but just a short drive to town. House is perfect. We had 3 families with 6 adults & 6 kids. We had room for more ppl if needed. Never overcrowded. Only complaints were wish there were more patio chairs-maybe some loungers world be great. And arrival & departure on Sat is a nightmare. Traffic is awful during those times. Took us 1.5 hours from the highway to the house on arrival. Come in early in the am & explore the town. Took us 2 hours to get to I10 on departure. Leave early in the am to avoid traffic. Maybe catch the ferry out of fort morgan if you book a slot in advance. Defiantly go to florabama if you like bands/entertainment. It was way fun. Best beach week ever for us.

Could not have asked for more!!!!!!

This was an awesome vacation for me and my extended family. The owner Kate was so helpful and you can tell the family loves the home. It is a little dated but what it has to offer makes up for it and then some. The home is furnished with everything one could ever want. It has more then ample cooking supplies (including spices). The family made available so many toys, chairs, fishing equipment, kayak, surf boards, sand toys, etc. I will not hesitate to book here again next year. We had a family of 6 adults and 6 children and everyone was very happy and more then enough space. This home is truly a gem.

Wonderful beach home

I have spent time at the Gulf my whole life but this house is definitively the nicest place we have ever stayed. It was so roomy for our families. The kids took over the upstairs living room and the adults could hang out in the downstairs living room. The bedrooms were comfortable and it was great to have 4 bathrooms, too. The kitchen was the most well stocked kitchen of any rental we have had. They also had all the beach toys, chairs, etc. available. In short, you will not be disappointed. Importantly, it was not near all the condos and heavily populated beach areas but close to "town". We would stay there again in a heartbeat. The ability to walk out the door to the private beach is amazing! Finally, the porches and views of the Gulf and the lagoon were stunning. Thank you for the wonderful home!

You have to stay here!

We spent our family vacation in this home and found it to be excellent. It is an older home but the space was perfect for everyone to have a private bedroom and bath. On the beach is correct,just a few steps to paradise. Very well equipped with beach toys and chairs. The kitchen had just about anything you could possibly need and all the spices and condiments were a plus. We left a few also. Easy to get to and great restaurants close by. Saw so many dolphins, a few shark(but not close),had sting rays a couple of days and some jellyfish early in the week, but expect that at a beach. One day we actually saw a sea turtle while we were swimming. The house was very clean and had plenty of towels, games, books, magazines, etc. If you forgot something you could easily find something there to serve the purpose. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Carter House is the Best

The first thing my husband said when we arrived at the Carter House was it's even better in person than in pictures. This house was very well stocked, spices, beach chairs, toys, beach towels, grill, smoker and so much more. We even used the crab traps and took them to the lagoon across the street and caught crabs that we cooked which was a new experience for some of our family members. We saw dolphins from the balcony every day. There was not a negative thing to say about this spacious and cozy home.

Great time with the family!!

We had such a wonderful time at this very spacious home. Perfect for large families. We celebrated our parent's 50 Anniversary here. The teenagers hung out in the living space upstairs. Plenty of shade on the decks and great views of the Gulf and Lagoon!! Owners very helpful in answering questions. Pictures don't do the place justice!! Lots of amenities you don't find in other rentals. Beach toys, chairs, Kayak. We enjoyed them all!!
