Gulf Shores Vaca from Iowa

This was a great stay. Lorraine was absolutely wonderful. We had 15 plus an infant and had no problem with room. The pool was perfect after a day at the beach , which was easily walkable. We tried several of the restaurants Lorraine suggested and they didn’t fail. There is so much to do! We loved our Gulf Shores vacation and our stay at the Sun Princess! Thanks, Lorraine!

Beach vacation 24

Overall great place! “A” side door handle is missing a set screw and falls off every time the door closes. Super annoying, but if that is the only complaint that is a major win. Would recommend this place to anyone! Love the private pool and beach was just a couple minutes away.

Beautiful duplex home. Perfect location. Everyone enjoyed the swimming pool. Short 8 min walk to the beach. We had 8 adults and 2 children very comfortable and plenty of room. Everything was perfect. Communication was great. Thank you for sharing your place.

Loved the stay!

Property was very nice and clean! We loved the location as the beach was in walking distance which really helped our night time crab hunts! The pool was very clean and pleasant but can get a little warm after the heat of the day. All the extra beach goodies were a bonus as well! We even left some more good stuff for the next group to have fun with! We had a blast!

Enjoyed our Stay

We really enjoyed our stay here. We had 13 people total and everyone was comfortable. Owner was quick to respond to any questions we had. Great neighborhood and not far from the beach. We were unable to go to the beach due to weather, but we enjoyed the pool. I would recommend to others! Thanks for a great stay!

70th birthday fun

From day 1 this has been a 5 star booking. Lorraine helped us with all the extras we needed for a large party of 19 ranging in age. She was always prompt to send me recommendations, answer questions and provided extra! We rented both sides for 4 families plus my mom. We had lots of room and everything we needed down to extra air mattresses for the kiddos. Pool was the highlight for the kids and bonus on rainy non beach days. More than enough sitting room on the deck as well as extra umbrellas for those sunny days! We were able to let the kids swim at night with the flood lights. Pool was kept chlorinated appropriately throughout our stay as well. The beach is less than half a mile walk down the road but you can also drive to a parking spot if necessary. It was great to pop down to the beach for the afternoon and finish up at the pool in the evening! We would take nightly walks as a family to the ice cream shop about a mile down the road next to waves (another highlight of the trip for the kids). Back to the rental! Bedrooms were all setup with necessary items including floor fans. Beds were comfy and clean. Bathrooms were clean and having 2 on each side for 19 ppl was great. We grilled out some nights doing family style pitch ins! My mom really enjoyed this memorable 70th celebration with her family all week! We couldn’t have asked for a better host and property!

Nice Duplex

We came with my family and had a great time. The pool was a hit with my kids! Lorraine, the property manager, was very kind and replied quickly (within 24 hours) to all my messages prior to coming. The home is 2 separate units that share a wall and outdoor space and this worked out well for us. They each have their own separate keys and entrances. You can easily hear any noise and walking from the other side. That didn't bother us because we were all together anyway. They give you dish soap, a pod for the dishwasher, special cleaner for the stove, a grill (but you have to lift it up a flight of stairs to use it), smart TVs in every room, family games, one set of towels per bed space, kitchen appliances like crockpot and waffle-maker. The linens and towels are not good quality. They remind of what they have in hospitals, very thin and small. A few things I expected to have and didn't have in the home: - towels for the pool and or beach - Keurig machine (there is a coffee pot) - complimentary shampoo/conditioner/soap (there was soap but it smelled like cleaning solution) - laundry basket or hamper - drawers to unpack the children's things (there are drawers in the master and bins in the other room, but not anything useful in the kids' room) - plastic dishes (everything was glass and I was afraid my kids might break something) Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would come back! These are just notes of things I wish I had known beforehand so I could pack accordingly.

Great location

We found the Sun Princess to be a great location near the beach. Unfortunately, the pool was out of commission for our stay, but Lorraine made up for that. The beds were a little too firm for our liking, but we loved having 2 separate units for our stay. The units were clean and had everything we needed.

Family Beach trip

Beautiful location and having pool was an added plus. A few cleanliness issues. Lovely spot among beach houses. Lots of room on the beach. Master bedroom bed mattress was hard. Smoke alarm going off, trash under bed and clothes from previous tenant found in closet. I would rent this again!

Very Nice

We had a very large party but never felt too crowded. The pool was very nice and it was super close to the beach. Had a hiccup with the AC at the very beginning of our trip and the property manager was very quick to respond and come check it out. No complaints!

2023 Family Vacation

We had family, kids and grands, travel from Iowa, Michigan and Las Vegas for a togetherness vacation time. This was the best place and best time. The pool was perfect for the littles, the adults enjoyed it too. The beach walk was enjoyable and not too far, again for all. The units met all of our needs. We were fortunate to have both to help accommodate all the family. We have already given recommendations to others. Our host was great to always check in, via email. To make sure all was going ok.

Family Vacay

My family, along with my in-laws and all the siblings and cousins, came to Gulf Shores for the first trip of its kind in 20 years and it was spectacular. Our house was an easy walk, one block from the beach. The kids loved that we had a pool they could jump in at any hour as well! Everything we needed was within a 10 minute drive. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect Spot

The house was perfect for our large family. It was clean, modern, and close to the beach. It is not far from the beach and it is within walking distance of a couple restaurants. I locked myself out of the house at 10:30 pm and Ms. Lorraine did not complain not once. She came right over and let us in. Communication with her was open and immediate throughout the entire process. This is a great property that comes with a great owner. I would definitely stay here again!
