Beach Trip

Overall this property was nice. The location was amazing. Some things are a little outdated but overall we had a great stay. We were worried by reading recent reviews, but we did reach out to the property management and they informed us areas of concerns had been fixed. Some boards in the deck were old but a lot of new boards had been recently put down. The furniture in the living area is different from the photos, but the property management had also ensured me new furniture had been put in before our arrival. We were a group of 7 and we all slept comfortably and had no real complaints. Only suggestion I would make is to bring extra seating for the deck if you are a large group as there are not many chairs outside.

Glad it was switched

We arrives to this house on the ocean, and it was awful. We knew it needed some TLC bases on passed reviews but this was awful. Wood rotting, sticky surfaces, dirty furniture with rips in it. Boards up on the deck. Once I spoke with the property manager she switched us to a beautiful clean place down the road. She was by far the best, great to communicate for us and all the kids we needed to pack up. But the owner needs to demolish this place, it’s like a scary movie.

Not worth the money

While the inside of the house seemed pretty clean, this was not the case. The floors were very gritty and sandy when we checked in. All the cupboards in the kitchen were very sticky, and we seen cockroaches the size of silver dollars. The outside of the house is horrible. There is paint peeling everywhere, And the deck is in such horrible shape. You cannot walk on it with bare feet because there are nails sticking up everywhere and bad boards everywhere. The little bit of furniture they have on the deck is in terrible shape and very dirty. To say the very least, my wife and I were very disappointed in what we received for what we paid.We do not get to go on trips like this very often, so it was very disappointing

Fantastic location

You couldn't get a better location on the beach. It was super close to the water and close to amenities. The house has taken a beating over the years, so if you're looking for a posh stay this isn't it. If all you want is the beach and ocean front this is the perfect place.

Great location, looked different than in photos

Overall our stay was okay, it was in rougher shape than what the photos showed. For example, knobs on the showers looked pretty gross (the older clear ish kind that looked to have black stuff in them). The shower curtain was speckled with what I assume was mildew and had some staining. The location was the saving grace, as far as the house itself I don’t think we would rebook. Would like something that felt cleaner.

The Hideaway

The location was excellent, the house was clean, the check in and communication was great. The floor plan was very good . The house needs major deck repair, and the kitchen cabinets are sticky (bad paint I’m guessing) which gives a gross feeling while cooking. I am not a snob by any means and don’t care about aesthetics as much as the functionality and cleanliness. Overall the rental company was great, I would stay again.

Great and inexpensive place to stay. Good size back porch and short walk to your spot on the beach.

We had a very enjoyable stay. House was clean and just spacious enough for 9 people. I will say to any future renters, place your beach equipment in the garage when you aren’t on the beach. We made the mistake of leaving them on the backside of the house and they got stolen. Even though we didn’t store in the laundry room or garage, it would have been nice to be able to lock that door if we did.

Unsafe home on beach

The location in Gulf Shores on the beach was wonderful. Unfortunately this older home is in a sad state of repair with the deck about to fall down and unsafe.The stairs bannister was also unsafe. It appears the owners are waiting for it to fall down or be taken by a storm to rebuild on the lot. We would not return to this property.

Scruffy but spacious

This property could use some much needed love. The towel bar in front bath, the lack of a plug in for the lamp in the back right bedroom, the sofas are more than ready to leave, and chairs in Dining room need recovering. The DR table has been much abused.

Location is great!

The online depiction of this property is not what you will find upon arrival. There was peeling paint and rotten trim on the exterior, the deck had nails sticking up everywhere which posed a danger to small children as well as adults walking barefoot. There was black mold visible in the hallway and one of the bedrooms. The kitchen had some basic items for our use, if you stay here take inventory (pots/pans, etc.) of what is available prior to cooking. Maintenance was great and answered when you called and came out right away to address concerns other than mold. AC works great and there is plenty of room. The view is spectacular, and the beaches are amazing, you get what you expected there!
