Great Location for Gulf Shores

Place was perfect for our family of 4. Pool was nice when couldn’t swim in the ocean or during the hot afternoons. Everything worked good in the house and we enjoyed our stay. We would stay in this location again. This was our second trip to Gulf Shores and this location was great. Easy walk to the beach.

Great for family time

The house was very cozy, and was in a great location. The beach access is within 200 yards which is tremendously convenient. The surrounding area has a small town community feel. Highly recommended by me!

Great place, good quiet location

Nicely appointed, clean home with a good restaurant and beach access nearby. The AC was broken when we arrived but the management team was fairly efficient in getting it fixed - but most importantly they were kind and understanding and easy to get in touch with.

Family time

We had a fantastic time. Wish we could have stayed longer. We came down to spend the week before school starts back up to relax & unwind before everyone’s schedule gets crazy. Thank you so much for such a beautiful property & great time. Suggestion- maybe keep some board games handy in case of rain. It only rained for about 40 minutes during our trip but everyone was searching for things to do.

Perfect Spring Break Getaway!

We loved this property and all it has to offer! The proximity to the beach and local shops and restaurants is perfect for quick trips and easy access. The house was well maintained and setup for families who want to relax in the pool in between beach days. The description and instructions for property user were very well laid out and easy to understand which made checking and out very quick. We will be back soon for sure!

Re-connect with old friends.

The weekend was perfect. We sat on the deck, drank wine and coffee while catching up on lost time. There is a nice view of the Gulf from there. We walked to the beach the next day which was a short walk. The beach was not crowded due to the fact that there are no high rises near. Numerous restaurants are very close and we spent one day at Gulf Shores State Park on e-bikes. Great accommodations, location and the entire booking process was super easy.

Porch Views with a great location

The porch is the shining star of the house. Our whole family enjoyed relaxing on the porch and looking out at the views. With two grade-school aged children, we also spent hours in the pool and loved being able to have it heated. The walk to the beach is simple and easy. Kitchen is basic but functional. I would pack a few extra things next time as we do tend to cook at least twice a day. Everything was clean and worked well. I especially liked the text message communication as it was easy and fast.

Great location; Short walk to beach

Would suggest adding TV's to other 2 bedrooms for kids, only other issue was getting locked out of unit and having to wait over 2 hours for someone to let us in. Was made to feel as if it was our fault the keypad malfunctioned on the last night of our stay by Myron; guy finally came with a key and stated that he never seen one do this before.Had to miss a show we planned to see.

50 shades of blue 4/21

Really enjoyed our stay at 50 shades of blue. Great vacation rental. House was well equipped even with beach toys/chairs etc. Staff was very friendly and easy to contact with quick return calls. Handled any issue/needs almost immediately. Only need we had was having pool heater cut on. We loved the pool and a great fit for family of 8. However a handrail and/or some type anti slip surface on top step would be beneficial as we did have 2 that slipped off the top step. Otherwise extremely impressed with house and rental agency.

Great Location!

We loved the house! It was just the right amount of space for 4 adults and 1 toddler. We really loved the pool, although small, it was great to dip in after a day on the beach. The walk to the beach was way shorter than I expected and you could even see a little bit of the beach from the front porch. We spent a lot of time out on the porch so the only negative thing I have to say is the condition the deck was in. The deck and stairs really need some work. There were some rusted nails and a lot of wear and tear on the paint. So the outside of the house was a lot more run down than the pictures. But overall, we would definitely stay here again!

We did not have cable or WiFi the first weekend(no Super Bowl!!) a hotspot was installed but very limited tv channels (5) and the WiFi was limited. This lasted for 2 and half weeks. We were not kept up to date very well re: when cable box would be installed. Ashley was helpful.

Great place for a beach vacation

Overall, everything was nice and clean. We had no problems while there. We wanted to have the pool heater turned on. I contacted the property manager and it was handled in a very quick manner. The management was very quick to respond. I had no issues contacting the, through text. We spend all day at the beach, so the following items really did not bother us. I think they are things to consider though. 1. There is a lot of traffic noise from the front of the house. 2. There is no direct beach access without walking about a block down from the house. 3. There is only 2 tv's in the house. One in the main room and 1 in the master. Overall, this is a great place.

Great time despite Hurricane Sally

What was supposed to be a relaxing vacation, turned into a chaotic nightmare. We got to enjoy a few days before the hurricane hit (which was projected to hit well to the west). It took a turn for the worst and we received a direct hit. This home passed the test! Constant 105 mph winds for hours on end. The storm crawled onto shore (moving 2 mph). Only slight water damage. We got lucky compared to other places in the area (a whole side on a condo unit got ripped off, exposing the interior). The property is amazing and has awesome views. Watching the waves start to come in was great. Really short walk to the beach. There's a walkway that leads you right onto the beach (perfect for beach wagons). Even though we lost power and water due to the hurricane, we were able to make it through. The property management company was very responsive. All in all, we will definitely book this place again. The proximity and views are worth it.
