About this property

This is a completely remodeled raised beach cottage and going into my 13th summer for vrbo rentals. I recently had the deck & steps redone. We also added a shower to bottom of beach steps. You literally can not be any closer to the beach and listening to waves lap on the shore. I have made it as comfortable as I could with large flatscreen tv's mounted on the wall in all rooms, free wifi and Netflix provided. There are 3 bedrooms with additional loft and 2 1/2 baths. It sleeps 11 very comfortably. King in master, 2 twins, queen downstairs, queen futon & 1 twin (loft), and queen sofa bed in living room. I also have a pack n play for babies & an additional toddler mattress (to make a pallet on floor). The deck on beach side has balcony height chairs & table as well as a glider bench and grill for your enjoyment. The beach is calling your name!
If you need more space, the other side of this duplex is for rent too at

Very Cute Beach House!

The beach house location was very nice and not crowded with people. Restaurants and souvenir shops were right down the road and things to do was a short drive. The owner was excellent in communicating with us and accommodating our needs while at the beach house. While there, the refrigerator decided to retire and the owner had it replaced immediately with a new one. I highly recommend staying here and we will return for another vacation stay

Not very clean

There was black dog hair on the floor and den rug. The den rug was stained and dirty. The windows needed cleaning. There were not enough towels and washcloths. The yards were trashy and littered. There was standing water in the driveway. It was too expensive of a rent for the accommodations. The carport areas needed sweeping and the washing machine had mildew around rim. Also, there were missing light bulbs in all of the bathrooms.

Great location right on the beach

This location made our trip fun for the entire family! We could spend the day on the beach without having to pack up the entire house. It was comfortable for 2 families that included young children, a young adult, parents, and grandparent. A few things may need to be updated, but we didn't have any major issues. Property owner was super responsive before and during the trip. The location is away from the busy part of the beach, but close enough for a quick drive to great restaurants and activities. Overall it was a great place for a family vacation.

Great place

Perfect for our family. We have beach bums , shoppers, jet skiers and fishermen. This house is the perfect location for all these activities. The house was beautiful with enough room for the adults and kids. Clean, and comfy. Great views, great sand, great house, great location. Property manager was quick to respond when we had questions. Highly recommend.

Great place to stay in Gulf Shores

Excellent location, right on the beach. Great for a small family. Awesome views, dolphins every morning. Kitchen is small, but you should know that based on the pictures. The upstairs loft in the master bedroom has steep stairs, so be careful if you have little ones. Our 3 year old was able to manage. There is plenty of beach equipment (chairs, rug, sand toys, body boards, etc). We brought our beach wagon and lugged everything down to the beach in the morning. Luckily the gigantic house next door was not rented during our stay so it was very peaceful. If you have dogs, beware of the prickers. We already knew this from the last time we visited gulf shores. You just need to check their paws frequently and remove them (bring tweezers). The owner was VERY responsive. She answered our texts within minutes and was super nice. Only issue were other renters from across the street trying to cut through the property to access the beach (instead of walking a half block down to the access). Overall, great place and would definitely rent again.

Great Location

We truly enjoyed our stay at the property! The kitchen IS tiny, but we managed. The house was as clean as you would expect any VRBO to be during high season. The furniture in the house is stained, but it is a rental property and that’s to be expected. Beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows and extra blankets. The bathrooms are fine, but the shower curtains need to be changed out more often. The door to the bathroom in the master needs some work. It is incredibly difficult to open and close and very noisy. Tough to let others sleep while trying to get in and out. The deck was awesome and had plenty of seating. The grills do need a VERY thorough cleaning though. The one is absolutely disgusting. The host was easy to get ahold of and very responsive. Wi-Fi was an issue and we had to use the neighbor’s. If you are planning to work and need a fast connection this maybe an issue. Our biggest struggles through our week was the lack of a good vacuum! The Dyson on the wall does not work…it could not even suck up a ping pong ball! The brooms were cheap plastic brooms that do not sweep the sand very well. Something to pick up sand is a huge need for this property. The other issue is the size of the garbage can. A standard size trash can is really needed. Overall we would stay here again and would suggest this property to others.

Great time!!!

We had a great time. The property was just as described, great beach location. The owner was great and let us check in early. The only complaint I could say we had was that the light leading up the main staircase was burnt out and was hard to see in the dark, but nothing major. Would definitely stay again. The deck with the black stone grill and table was an added bonus!

Good Experience

This is our 8th year to Gulf Shores. We love to be on West Beach past the high rises and enjoy the quieter and less crowded beaches. This duplex is the perfect location to enjoy lots of time on the beautiful beach. We enjoyed the patio tremendously and the nice charcoal grill. The inside of the condo could use some work and deep clean. I know peak season is hard to keep up with so always lots or grace. The condo is really dusty. Some of the furniture and pillows are in pretty bad repair (ripped, stained, etc). There is just a lot of random stuff shoved in closets, sometimes making them hard to stay closed. If you plan to cook; the kitchen is super tiny and definitely only room for one person. The ceiling fan in one bedroom was in disrepair so unable to use that for the duration of the trip. There was not a working vaccuum cleaner there. There were two but neither had enough suction to pick anything up. Not a huge deal for us as we always bring a robot vaccuum with us on beach trips and it didn’t take long to sweep when we needed more. We come for 2 weeks so we do have to work some on vacation. The internet was almost non-existent. We did message the owner about it twice but did not get a resolution. We finally connected to the WiFi for the duplex next door (same owner, she offered password) and it was MUCH better. We did have a plumbing issue and the owner had someone out the next morning which was exceptional. Overall we had an amazing experience. You just can’t beat two weeks at the beach. A little updating and cleaning would have made this a truly exceptional stay.

Great location

The location was perfect. Right outside of the main Gulf Shores town and right on the beach with our own private walk out. Overall the house was fine and met all our needs. Could use some updating. The rusty chairs on back porch are a hazard and on their last leg, literally. I’m sure the owner knows and is Probably just waiting for them to crap out :) the beds were incredibly comfortable! No sagging, good firm yet comfy mattresses. Could use some clean up or a small walk way from patio/carport to back porch, if you’re barefoot you get lots of painful goodies in your feet, picked some stickers out of my kids feet, but just wear sandals not a huge deal. The biggest issue was just the back deck with little kids being barefoot, lots of splinters and rust everywhere. Overall woyld stay here again, spacious enough for what we needed and convenient. The owner was super responsive and let us check in early which was a HUGE deal for us after driving overnights with small kids (8, 4 and 10 months). The beach is beautiful and clean. Wonderful family vacay with loads of memories and we got lucky and had awesome neighbors!

Great location and dog-friendly

The location, the beach, the deck, the layout of the house, supplies, (sheets and towels) were all excellent. Herbie, our dog loved it. So, Herbie and I would actually stay there again. There aren’t that many folks that want other people’s dogs at their beach houses. When we do, I would like the following things to be better. 1. get the sand off the floor and shake out the rug ( quite a bit of sand embedded in it.) Leave a vacuum that works, so the guests can help with sand management. 2. A good spring cleaning once a year or so, including removing sand from the concrete under the house. I spent a couple hours doing that. 3. Fix the broken window (just the outer pane) facing the ocean. 4. Make sure the gas grill is in working order. We used the charcoal one. 5. Make sure the recycle bin out front isn’t full of old trash. I dumped all the old trash out and put it in the proper trash bin. It would help to let the guests know when to put the trash and recycle bins out at the road. 6. We saw three roaches, so we put out some roach bait. Again, I would stay there again; price and dog-friendly.

Great Location!

My family of 9 stayed here and there was enough room for everyone to be comfortable. The location is perfect for a family with little ones being right on the beach and not having to pack up anytime someone needs to use the bathroom. The house was clean but needed a good dusting. The property manager answered all questions and check in and out was a breeze! The outside needs some TLC, but that’s to be expected due to weather and storms. We will definitely stay here again.
