Beach vacation

This property was amazing from the moment we opened the door. We knew it was going to be special. The attention to every detail was evident and we felt at home immediately.

Great location and hospitality

We enjoyed our stay and the location of the property! The owners offered impeccable communication and hospitality. The beach was clean and uncrowded. At times in the morning I had a great stretch of beach all to myself! The pool was a bonus as well as the beach toys, chairs and hose to wash off the sand. They've thought of all of the details here! Nautical decor was also fun and fitting. We wished we could've stayed longer...

Amazing location and house!!

What a perfect property for our family!! Very clean, cute decor, good size, loved the balconies. A huge plus for us was the closet full of beach chairs, wagon, boogie boards, toys, etc so that we didn’t have to pack all of that!! Very close and easy beach access. Owners Betsy and Mike provided detailed and easy-to-follow instructions and rules. They quickly responded if we had any questions. Would happily stay here again and likely will!!

Wonderful Stay

We have nothing but positive feedback to share for our week spent at Pleasure Isle Villas. We had everything we needed and Betsy was wonderful to work with! Loved the beach-themed decor and colors. The house was very clean and had the most comfortable beds!! Location was perfect. The pool is right out the front door and it was a very short walk to the beach. The garage storage closet had anything and everything we could possibly need for the beach...tons of beach toys for the kiddos, rafts, pool noodles, beach chairs, cooler, and even a wagon for hauling it all back and forth. We vacation on the Gulf coast every year, but this was our first time at Gulf Shores. We’re definitely looking forward to returning in the future.

Relaxing family getaway

This home was perfect for our family vacation! It had everything we needed and more: a pool, beach access, and beautiful, clean home. It was comfortable and had plenty of space for our family of four to spread out. The entire house was well-equipped, but the three (!!) bathrooms and two decks were especially nice. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach and my kids were extremely happy about the sand toys and body boards that were provided. My husband and I appreciated the beach chairs and umbrellas. If you're looking for a spot that's not right in the middle of all the crowds and craziness of Gulf Shores, this place is for you! There is one restaurant, an ice cream shop, and a convenience store within walking distance, which was just fine for us. We made the short drive to The Hangout, Shrimpy's Mini Golf, and Lulu's one day, but other than that we enjoyed the short walk to the private access beach and the amazing sand and waters of Gulf Shores. We would highly recommend this place!

Wonderful Stay!!!

We stayed for a week while our daughter competed in a softball tournament. The listing was just as described…..actually better! Check in was easy. Communication with the owners was wonderful! The home was so nice….clean, welcoming, stocked nicely, wonderful decor, and the beach supplies were wonderful! The owners even provided suggestions for where to eat and shop which was extremely helpful. Upon arrival we were welcomed with a personal note and gift! The location was perfect for close to everything but just enough away from the “busy” to have good relaxation. Everything was so nice…..we will definitely stay here again if we venture to Gulf Shores! The Swoner’s are wonderful!!

Awesome property!

What a wonderful property! The owners have thought of every possible detail to make for a comfortable and easy get-a-way. The property was absolutely SPOTLESS and clean! Our family of 4 had plenty of space to spread out. A group of 6 would easily fit, too. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. The bathrooms have recently been remodeled and they are beautiful! The patio area was a favorite spot for our family to grill out, dine outside and play card games. The beach is a quick 5 minute walk and the gear available at the property (chairs, umbrellas, beach cart, pails, shovels, etc) was super helpful. Our family enjoyed the pool and tennis court as well. It’s a quick 5-10 min drive to the main location for restaurants, shopping, etc. The owners were very attentive and accessible if we had questions. But honestly, everything was all set up front that we didn’t need to reach out. This is a great property and I hope we’ll be back someday!
