Great Location House

This house is an absolutely beautiful home right on the beach! It was perfect for our family vacation. Multiple families fit nicely with plenty of space, kitchen is well stocked, and plenty of parking. The beach chairs and toys were a great plus! I would highly recommend this home and we will be back again!

It doesn’t get better than this

This home exceeds all the comfort of home! From the well-stocked kitchen to comfortable beds and an amazing beach, we never wanted to leave. We enjoyed all the sea shells and dolphin watching. The owner sent helpful information and was quick to reply to any questions. This rental will be impossible to beat! We hope we have the opportunity to return!

We were able to spend a relaxing month with our mom. We enjoyed walking the beach, searching for shells, observing colorful sunrises and sunsets, and sampling many delicious restaurants. It was so wonderful to be in Gulf Shores, avoiding cold wintry blasts at home!

Windy but beautiful week

Great property with responsive manager. Sand dredging going on at the beach with a squeaky bulldozer at times, but only for about 2 days. Not really an issue! Loved having a big kitchen and elevator.

85th Birthday Celebration

We had 13 adults, 1 baby and 2 dogs and the accommodations could not of been better. Finding a house with so many kings size beds and bathrooms was not an easy task. The kitchen was especially well equipped and the grills were a bonus. The beach itself was beautiful and not too crowded. Stephanie, the host was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. She was kind enough to get a high chair and port a crib when we inquired if there was one on the property. My 85 and 84 year old parents appreciated the elevator ( as did my sister in law with her abundance of heavy luggage ) Would definitely rent here again!

Nice place!

The elevator was a huge help. The location and access to beach great. House and number of bedrooms perfect. Kitchen is great. Still, Carpet on second floor is OLD and dated. Back porch is carpeted and old and fraying. Proch stairs need a coat of paint. Back porch under house could be great entertaining but old, dirty. Cracked toys, old toys, old beach chairs. Needs some sprucing. Bedrooms nice size. Beds comfortable. Need need bedspreads. Overall, great place. Just needs some sprucing up. Pictures on line do not look as dated as the place is.

Highly Recommend! Beautiful location. Loved sitting on the deck every morning enjoying the ocean and dolphins. Has several chairs you could take to beach. Beach was clean and very close to property. The home was clean. Has enough room for everyone. Included anything you would need in the kitchen. Including a grill outside.

Nice Property

The property is very clean and the pictures accurately represent the condition of the home. We had two elderly parents with mobility issues, so the elevator was a blessing. The kitchen utensils are the best we have seen at any rental. My only caveat is that there was a significant amount of heavy equipment (bulldozers, etc..) on the beach related to the dredging of Little Lagoon Inlet and a beach restoration project. I believe these are extremely rare, but I would suggest any potential renter to check with local authorities for any planned activity prior to booking as it did limit our access to the beach for several days. Otherwise, I would totally book the property on my next visit to Gulf Shores.

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie

Host profile image
We purchased this home as a second home to enjoy with family and friends when not being enjoyed by those seeking the ultimate beach experience. We now live in Atlanta but grew up on the Gulf Coast and always dreamed of finding a perfect place on the water. We found it!

Why they chose this property

Gulf Shores, Alabama beaches are the most beautiful beaches on the panhandle because they not only offer wide white sandy beaches and clear water but also because they are not completely overrun and over-developed. Also, the charter fishing out of both Gulf Shores and Orange Beach is world class and you can expect to go out on a charter once and have enough fish for your entire family for the whole week of your visit.

What makes this property unique

This property is located on the beach yet Little Lagoon is just a short walk away and is a great place to enjoy water sports or just relax on a kayak. If the tide is right, smaller boats can launch in the lagoon and in a matter of minutes be in the gulf.
