First of all, this place was more than I expected! When we arrived, my family and I were blown away, and not just because of the house either.
When I was searching for a vacation rental, I was a little disappointed that I could not get a place right on the beach, that is, until we arrived and saw how beautiful the location was. You literally, are right on the bay, which is unbelievably gorgeous. You get to hear sounds of the gulf shores, ( which is right across the street), at the front of the house, and the sound of the bay right in your back yard!
My kiddos enjoyed very much all the ammentities that were included. The shuffle board inside, the corn hole, darts, fishing on the dock, and of course.....the canoes!! I very much appreciated the beach gear that is there for you to use! Oh, yeah, and the outside elevator shaft that was located by the stairs!! Saved our backs when unloading all the families luggage.
The host had 2 water hoses outside to rinse off with before going inside, which helped a lot with the sand.
Having all your basic needs in the home made things very easy for us. The washer and dryer, all the kitchen gear, comfy furniture, nice fridge, etc. VERY CLEAN!!
As for the host.....Deb was very nice and accommodating. I made contact with her during our stay with a few questions and I had no trouble getting a response. When she sent the email with all the requirements while staying there, she also gave some good options for places to eat and visit, which was nice because this was our first time to Gulf Shores.
If I was to offer any suggestions, it would be to maybe add extra comfy blankets to have and possibly investing in a small vacuum to pick up the sand instead of just a broom. But honestly that's it!
All in all, a wonderful place to stay! I would definitely bring my family back here!!
