Place was as described, nice and very close to the beach. Communication was the best part, pre trip- i recieve a link to a website for the home/area that listed everything from check in procedures to recommendations for food and activities. I referenced that guide until we left.

Perfect stay!

Our family really enjoyed our stay at the Hangout Deck! There was plenty of room, nice accommodating house, great communication with host and a location that was a quick hop to the beach! Evenings on the large deck with the nice breeze were a perfect end to the day! We hope to stay again! Thank you, Tanya!

Home Away from Home

Exceeded expectations: Check in was easy. Tanya is super responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. House was clean and spotless. they have thought of everything. It is not just a place to sleep. It is a place to really spread out and relax. A short walk away from the beach and friendly neighborhood. if you are going to Gulf Shores, The Hangout Deck is where you should go if you have a big family.

Grateful Graduates

Our stay was wonderful! The location was perfect to the beach and allowed for adequate spacing. My son and friends recently graduated and wanted a trip to the beach but with their own privacy. The Hangout Deck was just that! The first floor was all theirs with everyone having their own bed and three rooms were enough along with a living area and deck space. I think the deck space was the coolest for them. This allowed my husband and I to have the 2nd floor in peace with the kitchen, another living area, and yes…another deck! I also loved that Tanya was very responsive and checked in to ensure we were comfortable. We will definitely book again!

Perfect for families

Amazing beach home in the heart of Gulf Shores. Our kids loved the air hockey table and backyard space. It was a less than 5 min walk to the beach but on the second day our kids just hung out in the backyard because the house had its own private sand area.

About the host

Hosted by Tanya

Host profile image
Hello everyone, my name is Tanya. I'm a married mother of 4 (3 girls and 1 boy ages 17, 14, 12 and 10) . We absolutely love the Great Smoky Mountains, mother nature and tons of activities for the whole family. We love the area so much that in August of 2020 our family decided to purchase our first vacation home. We wanted a cabin large and luxurious enough for me and my family plus if we wanted to vacation with other friends and family. We hope you enjoy our brand new cabin as much as our family has. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
