Family Thanksgiving

We gathered the whole immediate family together to celebrate how thankful we are for each other. We enjoyed early morning walks on the beach and the kids playing in the sand. Also enjoyed the beautiful sunsets on the beach, playing Frisbee, soccer and football. The younger ones played games and watched their favorite TV shows. A few braved going into the pool. Lots of fun!

Beach Bum fun

Our family had a great time. House was as good as advertised. The pool was great as was the beach access. The walk was about 10 minutes but we shuttled some of the little ones and the older. There was parking right across from the beach for $15 all day.

Great space for a large family

Brought our 18 mo granddaughter and 9 others for a week long trip and had plenty of Space for everyone. Kept the door open between both sides which provided privacy for our teens and adults but also space for us a to be together and hang out. There is a walk to the beach which was difficult for one of our guests with a disability and there are steps to get into the unit which was challenging for pool days for this guest but there are railings which helped. The unit isn’t new and the kitchen while stocked with supplies was a little disorganized but those were small things compared to the fun we had there. We drove to the beach parking lot every day to do Drop offs in lieu of walking and I would suggest bringing your own rolling cart as the one provided was tough to get on and off the beach. There are lots of beach supplies there and the pool was great and was cleaned and cared for while we were there as well. The showers by the pool are a great feature for hosing off after the beach. We had a few issues that needed maintenance support and the property managers responded quickly and resolved the issues with professionalism. We had a great stay and felt this was well worth the price. We also appreciated the space available for parking and the neighborhood is quiet and while still in the heart of things, felt secluded. Our stay was great!

Nice Property

Nice property, the beach was unfortunately closed during our whole stay due to dangerous surf conditions, but we were able to enjoy the pool and outdoor area at the house. The house is divided into 2 duplexes but there is a door inside that connects them together when you rent the whole place. One downside is the walk to the beach might be a bit long for smaller children especially after getting tired playing in the sand all day. The house was clean and we had no issues with our stay. The property management was quick to respond with any questions we had.

Enjoyable stay in Gulf Shores

This was our fourth time visiting Gulf Shores but our first time with our dog. This property fit our needs perfectly. There property had plenty of space for our large family and was in a great location. Just a short walk and we were on the beach. The surrounding neighborhood was pleasant and had a nice walking/biking path. The property itself was clean and when a couple minor issues arose the communication was prompt. It was another enjoyable family vacation in the books.

Family of 16-packed more than we needed!

Just left after a week at the Beach Bum property. First time there. Used both sides for family of sixteen with several married children and 5 grandkids. Was just as described. Great stocked kitchens setup to feed the masses. Used one side to cook each night and one to serve dinner. Convenience to beach with our truck shuttling us and gear back and forth and free parking within a block of drop off. Walkable to beach. Beds comfy and plenty of space. 6 bathrooms more than enough! Management extremely responsive. Thought fridge wasn’t working but just had stocked it so full the first day! Never ran out of hot water. Pool was the best with 100+ heat index. Tons of beach and pool toys, 3 beach carts and some chairs to use! We used every aspect of the place to the max. Showers under decks off pool area perfect for rinsing off. Thanks for making our 5 years in waiting family vacation one to remember. Truely blessed by your property.

Excellent Family Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family spread out in this great place. We send one kitchen for meal prep and the other for serving which worked well. Having the pool right there was awesome and there were plenty of beach supplies, including 3 beach carts. We found that getting to the beach was best achieved by either ferrying people and stuff a carload at a time with the last group parking on 12th or 13th or just using the carts if a longish walk is ok. FYI, there are 5 or 6 free parking spots on 12th and lots of paid spots on 13th. Walmart is less than 10 min away and there is a Dollar General even closer.Great location, great house.

Just a hop and a skip from the beach

Unfortunately, we weren't able to utilize all the amenities of the condo thanks to the weather, but what we were able to use was well kept if a bit aged. We did have a couple of problems, but management was on it quickly so we had a comfortable stay. Also, if you're handicapped or have difficulty with stairs, this is NOT the place to rent. Steep steps everywhere.

Perfect place for our family vacation!

The place was large enough to accommodate our entire family of 14. The pool was so nice. We loved the patio area underneath the steps. Picnic tables for us all to eat on together. Also, cornhole, and the hook game was such a big hit with all of us. The kitchen was so well stocked. Lots of extra towels for us to use. Two laundry rooms was perfect. We had the best time. It was so close to the beach even with little children. We thought we’d have to drive but, it was .3 of a mile! We really loved this place and would definitely go back!

VERY pet friendly

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon arrival, we noticed that there was pet hair all over the couch and lots of it in the master bedroom. So much so, that I had to clean the floor and base boards and put the throw pillows from the couch onto the floor. On the other side of the house (blue living room) there was a strong smell of pet urine. We ended up going to buy Febreeze to use. If you’re used to having a pet, these things probably wouldn’t bother you. The rest of the stay was great. The house is very well stocked and is in a great location.

November 2022 Stay

We had a wonderful holiday at the Beach Bum, a beautiful place with the space and facilities we could share with our family and friends. Close to restaurants and activities but far enough in West Beach to be quiet as well. The covered porches add nice space. Fenced in large backyard wonderful for recreation and our dog, Bryzzo. A little too cool for pool. We loved it and hope to return

So hard to find a 6 bedroom pet friendly place. Be ware that the pool might be cleaned while you are all enjoying it and the washer might flood the first floor. Oh and the owners watch you on their camera all the time!! Have fun. Great place!!
