This rental was perfect for two people and in the perfect location. We walked to the beach in minutes. We walked several trails in Gulf Shores State Park. The porch was awesome so we enjoyed several meals out on the porch. We plan on renting the same property again!
The first view of the rental!
The beautiful beach!

Great location and the house was very clean. The mattresses were not really comfortable, and I would suggest better quality toilet paper. Even the state park near by had better TP.

No beach view . Easy walk to beach. Area around rental now has more rentals on sides than picture shows. I would stay again for location and quietness not for view.
