Beautiful House

The house is well maintained and exactly as described. We loved the decor and comfort of the furniture. The view from the great room and back deck is amazing. We could see dolphins jumping in the Gulf when we were sitting at the dining room table! We were pleasantly surprised that the parking is under the house so that our vehicles were protected in case of storms. The location was perfect for meeting up with my siblings and the spouses for a vacation, as we came from 3 different states. Since there were three couples, it was perfect that each couple could have their own bedroom with an adult sized bed and a bathroom, and there was sufficient parking for all of our vehicles. I needed to contact the property management to let them know about a couple minor of maintenance issues. I used the company’s app to text them, and they responded within minutes. The only potential issue for some guests might be with accessibility, as the only way into the house from the parking area is by way of a very steep set of steps up to the front door. Beach access is fenced off from the street, which is a good security measure, but the stairs up to the back deck and rear entrance to the house could also be an accessibility challenge. Overall the La Gloria house met all of our expectations. We could not have been happier with our experience staying there and would not hesitate to rent the house again.

Home was beautiful

The home was beautiful and in a great location. The only thing was we ran out of paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher pods, trashbags, and laundry soap. The kitchen had all of the utensils and pots and pans to cook, but no spices. Not even salt or pepper. Also the deck had a ton of railings hanging and falling off. We had 2 small kids so we had to watch them closely so they didnt fall off. Overall we had a great stay though!

Pleasant Surprise

We have had bad luck in past with cleanliness and overall upkeep of beach front rentals specifically. This far surpassed my expectations. My husband and I agreed we have not been to another VRBO rental that was this clean. My only negative is there were zero throw blankets in the home, so that would be a nice addition. The house is spacious and has beautiful gulf views. My toddler loved the bunk room and having his own space. We would love to stay here again, as it was the perfect size and location and very reasonable price.

Beautiful stay

Was a good location and a nice home. Appears to have been recently remodeled. There were no beach chairs nor beach towels provided. There are several nearby shops where these can be purchased. Not an issue for us but there is not a grill provided. Just fyi. Enjoyed our stay!

Lovely layout and location…with some areas for improvement

We really loved staying in this home! The layout was perfect for our little family and the location can’t be beat. Everything was clean on arrival and the check in/out process was very smooth. It’s worth noting some areas that could be improved upon, though, especially for families with young children as there are a number of safety issues on the property that would affect them in particular: - On our arrival we found two windows with corroded latches. The windows were two of the floor to ceiling windows so Littles who could get the windows open could easily just tumble out to the ground about 14 feet below. I called Vacasa 4 separate times about this and they did eventually send someone out who affixed a wooden block to prevent the windows from being able to be lifted, but it was a temporary solution and one that needs to be fixed in order to make this place (permanently) safe. - the other major safety issue we encountered was around the railings and balusters on the porch and stairs at the beachside. Several of them are rotted out. Ask my toddler, he found every single one that he could possibly fall through because it was broken and/or the screws were pulled out. There were probably about five areas that needed repair. Honestly, the deck is in really poor condition, as other reviewers also noted, and they should probably just rebuild it all together. But at the very least, it should be reinforced and made safer. - Speaking of which, the balusters on the deck are very wide. My 11 month old baby could crawl through them and fall to the ground if we hadn’t had a super close eye on him. my kids really know how to find safety hazards, don’t they? ;) - Home could really use some extras, such as beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, buckets etc. I understand that Vacasa is minimalist in what they offer in short term rentals, I am a STR host myself and I get it, but it is extraordinarily wasteful for those who fly in from out of town to have to go buy these things just for one week. - no string lights on porch as advertised (as also mentioned in other reviews from months ago.) some nice warm ambient lights, even solar lanterns, would go a long way at nighttime on the porch. Other than this, it really was an absolutely wonderful stay and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. We are so grateful to the owners were opening up their lovely home to renters!

Make a Memory!

A vacation should help you make memories, right? This house does just that. We loved the open floor plan, the deck overlooking the beach (the covered deck was especially appreciated on rainy days), the well-equipped kitchen and the two family rooms. The bedrooms are clean and nicely decorated. The house smelled good, was clean, and felt like "home" from the moment we arrived. Sure, there are a couple minor suggestions (which we've shared with Vacasa), but none of them detracted from a house that made it easy to enjoy a family getaway at the Gulf Coast. The location is excellent, the beach is literally just steps away, and the Vacasa team were helpful and responsive when we had questions. Go make a memory!

We love La GLoria

This is our 2nd year to stay @ La Gloria. We plan to come back next year. It's a great house for a bunch of longtime friends. We love that there are no stairs once we get inside. We also love that it has covered and open decks. If it's raining or if we've had too much sun the covered deck is great, it's also a great place for a drink or snack. On the days that the wind is blowing sand everywhere, we enjoy sunning on the open deck. It's just the perfect house to us. Very convenient location to everything in Gulf Shores. Very easy to access the beach also.

Great property! Well stocked kitchen. Plenty of room and seating for a group of 5-8 very comfortably. Deck and beach access is amazing. Loved sitting on the deck and watching the wildlife while listening to the gulf waves! Easy access with car into the busier downtown or neighboring towns for any activities. Highly recommend!

Best Beach Rental Ever!

After having a few bad experiences with beach rentals, La Gloria did not disappoint! It was very clean, well organized, large living spaces and comfortable bedroom and bathroom spaces. There was a well stocked kitchen, and our family is still raving about the cleanliness of the property. It was a short, easy walk onto the beach. We hope to rent this property again in the future and make it our "go to" for future family beach vacations!

Immaculate with a view!

This was the absolute perfect beach house! It is so spacious, was incredibly clean, and mere steps to the beach. I would absolutely return here over and over! The only thing that could have made it better was bigger coffee mugs (I like big cups and I cannot lie). Yep, literally only the coffee mugs. Can’t wait to come back soon!

Great Place to Stay

This was a perfect place to stay for a short trip. This house is directly on the beach with maybe 100ft to the water. Lots of parking and community space with two living rooms and a large kitchen and eating area. Easy parking and overall a great place to stay.
