Wonderful place, great host

I was in Gulf Shores with some friends for the annual shrimp festival. The locations is perfect. The place was very clean. Kitchen had every utensil and cookware you could need. The washer and dryer were very handy. Furniture of good quality and sturdy. Beds comfortable. The screened in deck off the master bedroom was a great bonus and I enjoyed sitting out there with my morning coffee. The host was very responsive to any inquiries and problems. There was a problem with the bathtub drain and she had someone out there to fix it ASAP. I would definitely stay here again.

Wedding stay

We were there for a wedding, the location was great! It was easy to find and very quiet/peaceful area. The rooms were clean and spacious. The kitchen, laundry room, bathrooms and living room were ample size and comfortable. I would 100% rent again, we had covered parking underneath or use as an outdoor space. It looks exactly as shown in pictures. The porches were so nice to sit out and enjoy also. Definitely worth the price, it was less expensive that any hotel and way more spacious for our family of six.

Gulf Shores Trip

This was a great location for our stay. We really liked the duplex. Nicely furnished and equipped and a quiet street. Convenient to be able to prepare a few of our meals here. Check in/access was very easy. Loved the deck overlooking the canal. One thing that was somewhat inconvenient was king sheets on the queen bed. They didn't stay tucked and there was excess fitted sheet that bunched up.

Holiday getaway

The property was beautiful.Location was excellent with canal in backyard.The stove didn’t work when we arrived but the owner did send someone to fix the problem rather quickly.(Outside breaker was flipped) Very spacious and enough bathrooms(2) & very large bedrooms(3).Inside of rental was clean but outside had some trash around which i cleaned up.Garbage cans outside were full also when i arrived.3 cans for duplex as i found 4th can across street.That one was empty.Garbage is placed at curb on Sunday so i arrived Wednesday and left Saturday so garbage was from Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday morning occupants. Overall i would stay there again.

Gross

This was our 1st time staying in Gulf Shores. The listing was not as pictured on Vrbo. Check in was a breeze you get everything a couple of days in advance that was a plus. On arrival When you 1st walk in, there was a very strong musty smell. As to proceed to enter we noticed the flooring was warped and damage to the flooring, closet door was dented in, sliding glass door in bedroom would not lock, the screen on the back deck was hanging.I contacted the owner she was able get maintenance out the next day. I went and got cleaning supplies to do some lite cleaning to try and get the smell out. We had intentions to grill but that was a no. The grill was nasty and rusty. The bedding was nasty did not smell clean. I rewashed everything we would be using as well as washed everything before we left to insure the next guest had clean sheets and towels. I could go on and on with things. At the end of the day I was just grateful to be with my family. If I was the owner I would definitely look into hiring a new cleaning service and maintenance. The gentleman that came out to look did say he knew the screen had been damaged but he hadn’t been there in a while. I’m not putting all the blame on the property owner. She hires ppl to do these things and if they don’t bring it to her attention she cant do nothing about it. The pillows need to be updated when stripping my daughter’s pillows it was nasty and orange.

We chose this place for the screened porch for our dogs. All of us loved spending time there and watching the wild life on the Canal. No alligators were observed! The kitchen was adequately equiped with items to make simple meals. I brought my crockpot. I appreciated the gate on the front porch also which kept the dogs from bolting down the stairs. Check in was easy! House was clean and smelled clean. Neighborhood was safe; we walked the dogs at night. Furniture was very comfortable as were the beds. The only drawback was carrying the dogs up and down the stairs but the younger kids helped with that. We really enjoyed the location and accomodations and would rent again.

Was not clean . Tubs would not drain . Porch lights were out, stairs very dark . Grill dirty , 2 burners on stove did not work , kitchen not fully equipped to cook . Blinds broke and dirty . Washer would not spin water out of clothes. AC went out Sat . We contacted owner and she scheduled a technician. We checked breakers , unplugged a few things and plugged them back in , 1 hour later AC restated, so technician was canceled .AC went out Sunday . Shonda again scheduled technician. They could not be scheduled until 5-9 pm, making where we went all day without AC. At that point we were frustrated and voiced this to Shonda . She was hateful and had no empathy that we would go all day without AC. Technician arrived , AC kept feeezing up due to cleanliness of filter . We did take pictures upon leaving since Shonda was so hateful . Beds comfortable Great location for walking to shops and beach
