Amazing stay

Property has everything you need and pictures do not do it justice with how nice it is. You are steps away from the beach which makes it easy to have little ones and everything that comes with smaller kids. The property was very well kept up and the beds were very comfy. Will definitely be booking here again!

First time visitors to Gulf Shores

Our family enjoyed our stay, especially the two grandchildren. With 4 adults and two kids it was nice to have 3 b drools plus 3 baths. We enjoyed the heated pool since the weather was quite cool and we visited several of the recommended eating places. We hope to make it back to the area.

Gulf Shores

The property is exactly as decribed. The location is great and easy to get to. Plenty of carts for loading and unloading. We had a 2 day stay. The beach is fast and easy to get to. Great view of the ocean and beach from the balcony, there is one balcony with 2 doors. The unit could use a better cleaning crew for the floors. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay. We would book here again.

It was a great place to stay first time to gulf shores with the family. Kids had a blast they cannot wait they said to come back again. Was really nice that the one bedroom for the older 2 kids had twin beds. Also enjoyed the list of places and restaurants around gulf shores that they have posted in the condo. Overall great place to stay for first family vacation to gulf shores

About the host

Hosted by Sara Smith

Host profile image
We are from St. Louis Missouri where we live with our three little girls and dogs Moose and MIllie. Our dream has been to own a place in Gulf Shores, and it is a dream we get to share with you.

Please enjoy this beautiful, ocean front home and treat it as your own. Get comfortable, kick back, and relax. If you have any difficulties, please contact us directly.

We want you guys to have a great time and return anytime you need a break from reality. Reach out to us and let us know if you are a returning guest and we'll make you a deal!

God Bless.

Why they chose this property

It checked every box for us when we bought it! For starters, its beachy and fun, but very comfortable. Each guest has their own private bathroom and a bit of privacy. The balcony is huge and offers panoramic views of the ocean. It's high enough to get a great view but not so high that its scary with kids (4th floor).

The complex is perfect for families and small children. It is very easy to get around and sits right on the water! The beach is never crowded and the pools are always comfortable for kids, even in the winter.

I think families will really appreciate the gulf shores atmosphere.
