The location was amazing! The beach was not crowded and the pool was much bigger than most. It was a short drive into gulf shores and was also able to have a Walmart plus grocery delivery. Absolutely great for kids!!!

🥳 Awesome! Thanks Letha. So glad you had a fantastic trip, and that Summertide's location was especially amazing for you — that uncrowded beach and a pool that's bigger than most is a hard combo to beat! And smart move on the grocery delivery; that quick drive into Gulf Shores plus Walmart-plus makes stocking up a breeze. So glad it was a hit with the kids! Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for Summertide? Or ready to set up a return? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️

So glad Summertide delivered exactly as stated: spacious, clean, and that great view. That's the whole promise right there. Thank you for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for the home while it's fresh? Or ready to set up a return to Summertide? I'd love to hear from you.

View was gorgeous! House had plenty of room! Pool was great! We had 9 kids ages 1-13 and 8 adults and there was plenty of room. Definitely would stay here again! Oh and communication with the property management was amazing!

🥰 Yay! Thank you so much Julie for the 5-star review! 🌟 We were absolutely thrilled to host your group at Summertide. Knowing that all 17 of you—from the toddlers to the adults—had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the pool and those gorgeous views is exactly why we do what we do! 🏠🌊 We’re also so glad you found our communication helpful; we know how much coordination it takes to plan a trip for a crew that size! 📞✅ We would love to have your family back for another beach getaway. Just a little heads-up—Summertide is a fan favorite for large groups and tends to book up very early, so don't delay if you’re thinking about your next trip! 🗓️💨 Hope to see you all back on the sand soon! 🏖️☀️

Woohoo! 🎉 Thanks so much, Anthony! We’re thrilled you loved Summertide — it’s hard to beat the easy beach access and those beautiful Gulf views right from the decks. 🌅☀️ It’s such a great home for relaxing, reconnecting, and soaking up everything Gulf Shores has to offer! If you have any suggestions to make stays even better, we’d love to hear them. And when you’re ready to lock in that return trip, we’d be delighted to host you again — Summertide fills fast, so plan ahead! 😎

Thanks so much Lauren for the awesome 5-star review! 🙏 I’m thrilled Summertide was perfect for your crew. That big open living space and the 8 bedrooms really do make it easy for everyone to spread out, and the double kitchens and two full fridges are a game-changer for family meals. For anyone reading along, Summertide sits right on the sand in Gulf Shores—private pool, huge decks, and those sunrise-to-sunset views that never get old. 🌊☀️ We’d love to host you again anytime!

We had a blast!!

We had a blast!! Three generations: Grandparents, kids, and grandkids and all of us agree this place is the winner!! We have been renting houses on West Beach for the past 10 years and we were all amazed by the decor and comfort and spacious living area. We have very tall athletic men in our family and having king size beds in almost every bedroom was a relief. Everything we could possibly want or need was provided and the pool was wonderful- from our youngest (8 year old grandson) to hip hop and happening grandma (age is only a number 😎)we enjoyed it immensely. My husband was so impressed with the deck area that he is redoing the deck around our pool with composite lumber!! Thank you again for sharing your beautiful home with us and we look forward to staying there again next year!!
