Perfect location!!!! Very clean, smooth check in and out! Quick to fix a minor plumbing issue. If you plan on cooking at the rental, You will need pots and silverware.

Best Place for Larger families
Best for larger families. Easy access to the beach and local eateries!
We really enjoyed our stay! Clean, comfy beds, and fantastic location. Right in the heart of Gulf Shores and only a 3-5 min walk to the beach.
Don’t stay and not go to DeSotas, which is also a 3-5 min walk. By the best food we had in Gulf Shores.

Thank you! We hope to host you again in the future!
We lived the location so much. So close to shops, restaurants, minutes from the beach with access to showers and restrooms. Loved having three baths and three bedrooms. Could see the beach from the house. Very clean and well stocked

Thanks for your review, Necoe! We are so glad to hear how much you loved your stay so much! Thank you for letting us know all the aspects of the stay you enjoyed, as well. We hope to see you back again, soon!
Great condo in a great location to the beach. It was the perfect size for our party of 7. Pictures don't lie! The rental agency was easy to work and communicate with. Will definitely be booking with them for future rentals.
GREAT location! Walked to restraints and the beach. Clean house! Wish the trash cans would have been hauled off during the week as stated (flies started gathering).
You can walk to everything! Directly across from the beach (the nicest part of the beach too, with the children’s playground) Can’t beat the location. The property itself is just ok. Drawers falling off, could be a lot cleaner. Beds were comfy though! But again, location!

Location/cleaness
The location was not the best. Located behind a restaurant that was busy and noisy. The part that got to me was the smell of the trash being dragged across the parking lot by the restaurant staff. The vents were not clean nor had the air conditioner filter been replaced with a new one was a bit of a problem for us. The drain in the bathroom was very slow and did not drain properly so therefore you was standing in dirty water while showering. I will not be visiting this particular location again.
Overall the house if perfect. The location is great for walking to pretty much everywhere in town to eat and shop. The only issues we had were small the vacuum didn’t work and the street lights shine in the master bedroom all night long so blackout shades would be nice but I understand why they don’t have them.
Great house. We’ll book again.
We really enjoyed the house during our recent vacation. The location was right across the street from the beach, so we didn't have to get in the car to drive anywhere. It also was in walking distance of restaurants, the Hangout and lots of shopping. There was a small view of the ocean from the balcony, which was also nice. The accommodations were very nice. However, we were not able to sleep 4 kids in the room with the trundles, because once one trundle was pulled out, you couldn't access the other one. They would have made better use of space with bunks. Other then that the rooms were great with all having their own bathroom. The kitchens was a little sparse on some necessities. The fry pan they provide is big enough to fry one egg. Not exactly what I expected for a place that sleeps 8. I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for the honest feedback. Your recommendations are what keep our properties comfortable and convenient! The cookware has been replaced with a more convenient and practical set. We will take a look at switching trundle beds to bunk beds. Thanks for the recommendation!

Nice, but......
Loved that it was so close to the beach. There was a street light outside the master bedroom window that was extremely bright and the curtains are not thick enough to block the light. Maybe put some thicker curtains in the bedroom to block the annoying light. One of the windows in the master bedroom was off track and basically the window is open. Several of the cabinet doors and fascia were broken. The TV in one of the rooms upstairs was missing the box so it didn't work. The TV in the other kids room didn't work either. It doesn't seem like the remotes work for the TV's. The master bedroom worked.
Our stay here was decent. The location was good if you don’t mind crossing the road to get to the beach & the restaurant next door was good. The appliances worked, the tub downstairs was awesome, each bedroom having its own bathroom was great. There were a few things, however, that annoyed us..
- feet stayed dirty after walking around the inside of the house barefoot only 2hrs after showering
- Back door hardware needs replacing - does not lock even if the main knob is locked - needs to be locked on top to secure correctly. It’s loose on the door & on the door frame.
- Rails that hold bottom twin beds need replacing & some hardware is missing. Actual twin bed frames are overly squeaky.
- 2nd button to lock front door gets stuck (won’t beep) & takes quite a few tries to actually work.
- Washer is getting moldy
- Dummy drawer in kitchen is loose and lopsided
- There was a previously used soap bar in toothbrush cup in the upstairs bathroom
- There was no dish washing soap or paper towels yet there was dishwasher detergent & laundry detergent.. just seems inconsistent
- It seems as if the cleaners cut any corners they have been able to for a while.
- Trash was full & stinky with flies
- Had to ask people cleaning next door for paper towels, they were nice enough to help.
