Wonderful rental on beautiful Gulf Shores!

We had a fantastic stay at the Harbor House this week. The location was perfect - with a small grocery store across the street and walking distance to many different restaurants. This was our first visit to Gulf Shores and the area did not disappoint. This was one of the nicest beaches we have ever visited! The Harbor House was a great place to stay. We had plenty of room for our family of 4 and loved sitting on the porch overlooking the beach. If we ever get back to the area, we will definitely stay at Harbor House again!

Did a little quick getaway to destress while doing home renovations. Harbor House is my favorite place to stay while in Gulf Shores. Unit B17 was a great choice. Unit was really clean and very “homely”. Although it was a short visit, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to others. Thanks Tara & Jeff for your hospitality and for your service during the booking and stay!

Wonderful stay, excellent hosts!

This unit's location can't be beat! Right on the beach and walking distance to several shops and restaurants. The unit was VERY well stocked with everything that you might need during your stay. We had no issues at all and loved our time away. I highly recommend the ferry to Dauphin Island for a fun way to spend the day. We also had a great experience on the Sunny Lady dolphin cruise. I would absolutely stay here again!

Spring Break Getaway

This was our first family beach trip and Harbor House did not disappoint. The location was fantastic and the views were spectacular! We enjoyed the comfort of the rooms. The main bedroom was spacious and the mattress was comfortable. The condo had a great kitchen with wonderful appliances including washer and dryer. We loved being so close to the beach and felt safe too. Communicating with owners was simple with quick responses. We would be happy to recommend Harbor House to anybody.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

This place was perfect for our family of four. It was well stocked and had many extras that I didn't expect. The ease and proximity of the beach access can't be beat! Also, being right across the road from the Pier 33 store was super convenient.The furniture was comfortable and decor was beautiful. Tara, the owner, was wonderful and very responsive. I have absolutely no complaints and hope to stay again!

Heaven in the HEAT

Stay was absolutely perfect. Everything about this Condo was exactly as described. We loved the use of the beach items you had available. The whole place was clean and neatly decorated. The porch chairs were great. During our stay we were unable to communicate do to an issue with VRBO app, but that was definitely on our end, not yours. I have fixed it specifically to give this GREAT Review. We thank you for the hospitality and look forward to coming back in the future!

Excellent stay at Harbor House B17

This property has everything you need for a terrific vacation! I went with 2 of my friends and we all had comfortable accommodations. We took beach chairs but didn’t really need them as they furnish those as well. Don’t overpack because there’s a washer and dryer also. Hope everyone enjoys their stay there as much as my friends and I did! Tara will also contact you with instructions for checking in and out. She’s great! Happy vacation everyone!

About the host

Hosted by Tara & Jeff

Host profile image
My name is Tara and my husband is Jeff. We would like to thank you for visiting our listing. Jeff and I reside in New Orleans with our four children. We are beach people that love to come over to Gulf Shores every opportunity we get.

Why they chose this property

We are so happy to offer our family beach home to you and your family. We love this property because how easy the access is to the pool and beach for us and our four children. We pull into our spot beneath the condo, run up a flight of stairs to the unit, and back out the door 100 steps to the sugar sandy beaches of Gulf Shores within 5 min.

What makes this property unique

The convenience of being able to walk out your door and have your toes in the sand within 2 minutes is fantastic for us and our children. We also love being across the street from our grocery store Pier 33 and our fav coffee shop West Beach Coffee House.
