Fun quick beach vacation
Property was close to everthing in town and Beach and very cozy. Had everything we needed. The only negative was one of the bedroom comforters had food stains and was obviously not washed. Instead of making a huge deal we just took it off and put it in the closet. Other than that we had a great time.

Perfect Little House!
This house was in the PERFECT location! Just the right amount of privacy but also conveniently located. Short drive to Walmart, ice cream shops, and restaurants! Drive to the beach was easy and not far at all. 10/10 experience! Perfect little house for a week getaway!

The property is walking distance to Lulu's and Tacky Jacks. Walmart and a car wash for vacuuming sand were nearby. It was an easy drive to/ from the beach. The property was spot on for listing. It was the perfect getaway for our family, close to everything but private feel.

Cozy and Cute
We enjoyed our stay. House was cute, clean, and cozy. It’s right by a main road so traffic was noisy. We were only left one roll of toilet paper for the weekend so that would have been nice to have at least one spare. Loved that it had a full kitchen. Great location!

Concert at the Wharf
Charming, clean, and walkable location to family friendly restaurants! My one hesitation about this property was possible noise from traffic or the surrounding restaurants but that was definitely NOT a problem. We rented this place because it was a straight shot to the Wharf Amphitheater, which worked out great! Grocery, cafes, anything you could possibly need is within a couple of minutes. The back sitting area had great mood lighting and speakers for music-gave us a spot for many laughs.

Beach Getaway
I found this house when looking for a last minute beach getaway. I was traveling with my mother and kids. We were was able to book this gem a week before our stay. My twins had never seen the beach before and were eager to get there. We arrived earlier than check in and thought it a long shot, but reached out to the hostess. She was quick to respond and gave us an earlier check in time. Check in was seamless. Free wifi and bluetooth speakers set up inside and outside. Love the feel of this house, it’s very close to the beach and close to stores for supplies. Its clean, beds were comfortable , and it has a great beach feel to it. My only complaint is that i didn't get to stay long enough. My children were reluctant at first because it wasn't on the beach. By the end of our trip, they asked if we could stay here when we come next year. I definitely will book the Getaway again! Thank you again for your hospitality Angie!

Great House in a Great Location
This was the cleanest and cutest vacation house. The decoration and comfort of this house was awesome! The beds were so comfortable. This house was in a great location getting around Gulf Shores. The house is only a couple of miles from the beach so we spent the entire day on the beach, and then it was so nice to get back to a spacious house where we did not have to take elevators to haul our things or to get to and from our vehicle. We were able to get out and explore and not be in the beach traffic. Highly recommend!

It was a nice little property located next to some good restaurants. It is close to the beach and other attractions. The backyard area is nice for the evenings. There is only one bathroom so be prepared for that experience. Overall I would stay there again
