🥰 Wonderful, Juanita! So glad On Golden Pond #5 was a real home away from home — and that you got to enjoy both the community pool AND the fishing dock! That lagoon-and-beach combo is such a nice mix. Glad the team was quick with your questions too. Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for OGP? Or ready to set up a return? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️

🤗 Thanks Ernest! Glad On Golden Pond #5 was a great place overall, that the pricing felt fair, and that you enjoyed that lagoon view — it's one of my favorites--those sunsets are better than the beachfront! Really sorry about the floors on arrival, though. A beach house will always have a little sand sneak in, bringing all the stuff in from gravel driveway and more, but I'm surprised the little ones' feet were dirty. I've relayed it to my gang on the ground to tighten up the floor pass on turnovers. I don't see a note come through during the stay — did you send one? I want to make sure a ball wasn't dropped, because a quick re-clean the first day is exactly the kind of thing we'd have jumped on. Thanks for the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ despite the rough start, and for the honest feedback — that's how OGP gets better. Reach out anytime, or when you're ready to set up a return! Thanks again! 🙏

🥰 Yay! Thanks Wendy! Glad you all had a wonderful time at our On Golden Pond 5 home. I so love those views too. I think the sunsets from the back deck are some of the best... even better than the beachfront ones! And that super convenient trail nearby for a little nature wander.... plus... community pool, lagoon beach, fishing dock, all right there! And of course, as you mentioned, its a very short stroll to the public gulf beach access too! So happy you all were able to enjoy all of this and more! If you have any suggestions, requests (or kudos!), for our home, or for Bama Beach Houses and their communications and support, we'd love to hear from you! 🥳 Oh, and to rock that return trip too! 😉 Until then, best wishes to you and the rest of the gang! Thanks again! 🙏😎🏖️

Peaceful and quiet — beach is walkable!

Everything just as described. We added a day after we were there. Very nice place really peaceful and quite not a lot of noise. Very helpful to add the extra day easy to get. Beach is walkable.[🥰 Wonderful, William! So glad On Golden Pond #5 was everything just as described — and that peaceful, quiet vibe is exactly what a lot of folks are searching for. Sometimes the best part of a beach trip is the calm! Love that adding an extra day was quick and easy too — when a place treats you right, why leave, right? 😄 And a walkable beach seals the deal. Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for OGP? Or ready to set up a return? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️]

About the host

Hosted by Rick Goldsworthy

Host profile image
Instructional designer. Behavior change researcher. Father of 3. Teacher. Soccer coach. I'm interested in why people do the things they do, what we can do to change those things so that folks live happier and healthier lives, and how technology can help. Plus, well, I love Gulf Shores!

Why they chose this property

My wife's family have traveled to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Alabama for decades. I became a tag along in the late 1990s, so a Gulf Shores guy by marriage. One thing led to another and we ended up a lot of large, family-friendly, large group friendly, places along the Gulf. On Golden Pond #5 is a very nice family-friendly lagoon front home with, for much of the year, the BEST sunsets from the back porches overlooking Little Lagoon. Nice. Comfy. Lots to do with the dock and pool. If you canoe, kayak, or paddleboard, you can drop in right here as well! And a great value too!
