Amazing Location Across from Beach

This is our second time staying at this property. We returned due to the location across the street from the beach and amenities like a beach wagon and toys for our family with small children (8 months, 4, and 6). True Blue makes family stays very easy.

Wonderful vacation!!

This is our second stay at True Blue and again, it did not disappoint. It is so very clean and comfortable. It is so well stocked with everything you need. A lot of thought and effort has been put into making this house so homey and comfortable. The location is perfect with so many stores, restaurants, and activities so close by. The shared community pool is so nice and clean. We enjoyed cooling off in the pool. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck sitting on the Adirondack chairs. The public access to the beach is so close and convenient, located right across the street. Rupa is so easy to get in touch with if there is any issue you might have. This place is the best and I highly recommend it! We will be back again! Thank you, Rupa!

overall, good recommendation

air could have been cooler; we used a fan downstairs; one of the queen beds was unsatisfactory causing a guest to sleep on sofa; too many steps for me; tv was difficult to watch; would recommend someone to show us how to use it; but overall, the cottage was in a great location; liked the parking on site; appreciated the downstairs closet and the chairs, wagon; etc. furnished; had all needed amenities available on site; would recommend the cottage

Wonderful location to HangOut!

I hit up HangOut Music Festival every year with my daughters and have stayed at several different condos in the area, but this one definitely wins overall! This location was quiet, convenient, and not too far a walk from the festival entrance. The condo itself was clean, very comfortable and ROOMY and the owner truly made us feel 'at home' away from home by leaving a box of welcome treats in the fridge (which were sooo yummy btw), plenty of area info, good wifi, GREAT parking, FULLY stocked kitchen and comfy beds. LOVE that there is a full bath downstairs and two up, as well as plenty of space to spread out. If we had been there to hit the beach straight from the condo, we may have been a bit bummed since you have a little bit of a walk to get to the beach, but since we were there for the Fest this didn't bug us at all. We also didn't use the community pool, but heads up (particularly if traveling with a larger group or several kids - it is EXTREMELY small. We would most definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking to relax near the beach!

Great family and dog friendly property

We stayed for spring break 2022. It was our first and definitely not our last visit to Gulf Shores. It was my husband, 2 children (8 and 12), myself and our family dogs. The house was just as described. It was very clean, warm, inviting with everything that you would expect from a beach home. All of the comforts that you would need from home were there, as well as beach items. Our family enjoyed eating on the balcony and we walked our dogs all through the neighborhood several times a day. The atmosphere of the other renters was always friendly and it felt like a home community. The beach is just a few steps away. You can hear and smell the ocean every time that you walk out of the door. We had so much fun at the beach everyday that we never used the pool, but it was visible right over our balcony. We walked to dinner almost every night and the market and other shopping was right there as well. All of the infamous restaurants are within walking distance or a 5-7 minute drive. It’s a beautiful home and great community. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent stay!

This property was the perfect place for our first trip to Gulf Shores! The location was great and within walking distance of restaurants and souvenir shops, and a very easy walk across the street to the beautiful beaches. The house was well-appointed and had plenty of space for our family. We are looking forward to coming back!

It was pleasant to stayed in the True blue house , however a comment for cleanness is not satisfied.

My experience was renting property was great but there is needed replacement or fix a refrigerator in kitchen. Also, needed replace kitchen utensils of pots and pans. There were unclean dishes and wine glasses stored on cupboard.

Holidays at the Beach

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The starters like dishwasher soap and laundry soap were nice to get us started til we went to the store. Communication and response was excellent. The kitchen was very well stocked with appliances. We enjoyed coffee time on the porch and a short walk took us straight to the pristine beach. Great neighborhood for daily walks. Biking was great on the bike paths on the Main Street between Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. And Gulf Shores state park was great. Walking, cycling , and dinner and wine around the fire pit at Woodside restaurant was fantastic. The kids enjoyed the outdoor games and our dog enjoyed the privilege of being with us, too. The internet was good when we only used 1-2 devices, but was slow or kicked us off with 3-4 devices while trying to complete virtual schooling with grandkids. We had to buy a baby gate for safety around the stairs. Having one provided would be a good addition. We would definitely stay here again upon return!!
