The location of the house is great and the house it was a good fit or my family, we have some challenges with cooking our neals, the kitchen needs some improvement with the stuff to actually be able to take care of the 10 guests as they claim in this site. Other thsn that the place needs some minor maintenance to be top notch. The property manager was excellent and easy to communicate. Over all we will comeback to this house again with my fsmily, we enjoyed been this close to the gulf of Mexico.

Great beach access

We loved the beach access. We could walk barefoot to the beach. Property was clean. You can tell its not someone's vacation property as it was really bare bones. We found it difficult to cook food as we were hoping to do. The kids loved the bunk beds, and the master suite was comfortable.The property manager was responsive. Ov

Needs some work

The property was very worn - hole in floor in master bedroom, closet doors in master bath unattached and propped, NO outside lighting which resulted in a fall down the stairs, several blown light bulbs inside (which was fine since there are so many lights). Wish checkin could be with a code rather than having to go to Gulf Shores.However, the location was GREAT!!!!

Great house!

We loved that it was so close to the beach access. The view from the porches was also beautiful. Great home for a family. I do wish that we didn’t have to go to the office to get the keys. It would have been nice to be able to go straight to the property. Also my husband is 6’3 and his head hit all the light fixtures! And there are a lot of light fixtures! Overall it is a beautiful property and we enjoyed our stay!

Re-set and Relax

This beach house was very nice and within steps to the beach, everything was nice, neat and clean...there are a few things that needs attention to make it even better which is the front door that's hard to lock because it's loose at the bottom, light fixtures pretty but hangs too low for someone 6ft and taller, just needs a deep cleaning also but overall it's very nice and breathtaking sitting on the side porch looking and listening to the waves.

The inside was nice, however the outside needed a LOT of repairs. The deck area and area under the house was run down and the deck lighting was knocked off the posts. The outside shower was rusted and didn’t work accurately. Lights inside also needed new light bulbs in the kitchen. It would also be nice to have cutting knives in the kitchen to use when preparing meals. There is also a hole in the floor in the master bedroom and the master bathroom closet door was ripped off the hinges.

Poole Properties Amazing!!

The locations is great! Poole Properties great as well and really helped us with our stay. The property needs some serious TLC!! Cleaning could be better but the actual up- keep is the problem. Stained couch, dirty area rug, and just overall wear and tear was definitely a downer. Also, note to owner a tail-gate grill is not adequate for a beach rental. If I had paid for any more than a 3 day stay I would have been really upset, but the house served its purpose and my grown children enjoyed the music festival.

Great Location

The location is perfect...just a few steps away from the beach. The home is nice but could use a little TLC from normal wear and tear. The kitchen was sufficient for cooking. I brought a griddle, spatula, and whisk and was glad that I did so. If you are planning to have a shrimp boil, you would need to bring your own large pot. There is no grill - I didn't notice this in the amenities and brought steaks to grill. This is the only home we have ever rented that did not have a grill available, but it doesn't include this in the amenities list. Home is nicely decorated and furnished. Lots of interesting details. Hard to beat this location and the convenience of the beach.

Good location but needs to be fixed

When we got there at 5pm on Monday, we were ready to go inside but was stopped by the cleaning crew. They told us that it hadn’t been cleaned and that they needed an hour. We had groceries and wanted to put the cold stuff in the fridge and we couldn’t even do that. After they left, the house did not have any hand soap or any toiletries. I called and they said they would bring it but we never got anything. There were lamps and lights fixtures that didn’t even have lights in them. The Newly renovated shower didn’t even work. Water basically dribbled out of it. The location. Was great but other than that, will not stay there again.
