The ocean and house were beautiful. The beach was pristine. However, it was 30 minutes from the town of Gulf Shores and I thought that should have been made clear on the listing. It wasn’t a bad area but it wasn’t Gulf Shores.

Property was as advertised. Views of the beach were terrific and beach access was right off the underneath patio. Beach was not crowded and very clean.The house was very comfortable, but there were some minor maintenance issues that need to be resolved.

Pleasant Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a nice stay at The Commodore West! The house and location were accurately described, and Coastal View Vacations was great to work with throughout our trip.The layout was perfect for our large group, with plenty of beds, bedrooms, and bathrooms for everyone. The kids absolutely LOVED the bunk room, and having ample parking space underneath the house was a plus. While the home has had some nice updates, a few other areas could use a refresh—including the dishwasher, which wasn't working during our stay (though maintenance was scheduled to look into it).Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and we enjoyed our time here!

Great Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great family vacation. I love having this time with my children and grandchildren. This is the third time we have stayed in this house. The only suggestion that I have is we have teenagers in the bunk room, so they like to sleep later. It would be nice to have curtains in that room. Sometimes the 3rd floor is a little on the hot side. If the couch gets replaced it needs a U shaped couch so more people can sit. Overall we love the house and the layout. The cleaning service did not do as good a job this year as they have in the past, but I am picky about baseboards and such. Of course it is the end of the season and I'm sure they will do a deep cleaning at the end of the summer season. I will always recommend this house.

What great property!!! We had parents, teens and small ones, age 4-10. We had plenty of room for all. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had all we needed. Nothing bad to say about any part of the home. Views were just like the pics....step out the door onto the beach. Loved it all and would recommend to anyone with a large group.

Excellent vacation

Commodore West checked all of our boxes. We loved being right on the beach and the covered porches were amazing! We enjoyed watching the dolphins cruising the sand bar and saw lots of marine life. The only complaints we had were some places in the house were not the cleanest but it was nothing to ruin our fun. We would definitely stay here again.
