Our stay at Lagoon Time was very enjoyable. We love the location and the house is pretty well equipped (some minor issues like very few spoons, 1 wine glass). The management left plenty of hand soap as well as shampoo, body wash, conditioner and hair dryers in each bath. That was a nice surprise. They were very responsive when I was unable to figure out the elevator when we first arrived. They walked me thru what I needed to do promptly. We travel with our two small dogs and they enjoyed having a nice yard area to explore.

It was a very nice and clean property. We really enjoyed our stay. One thing that really needs to be addressed is the condition of 3 different king bed mattresses. Every one was horrible in that they all sunk into the middle of the bed. Please replace them! Otherwise a wonderful place to stay.

We are so glad that you had a great beach vacation and appreciate you mentioning the cleanliness of the space. We sincerely appreciate & value guest’s feedback. This is the first time anyone has mentioned the mattresses not being comfortable. All mattresses are in good condition. I would think it may be an issue with the bedframe but it would be unlikely for all 3 to have the same issue. Mattress comfort is super subjective with some preferring firm and others preferring soft. We are saddened that we were penalized in the rating due to personal preference but will certainly look into the matter and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

Quiet Getaway

We absolutely loved our stay. This place was perfect for our quick trip to the beach. We stayed for a few days and would have loved to stay longer. The home was a quick walk across the street to a nice boardwalk taking you right to the beach. The home was away from congestion of the main areas and at the beach you had a pick of your spot with few people around. The only issues we had were working the showers and figuring out some of the fans and lighting.

Nice property located close to all the Gulf Shores activities. The elevator was a huge help for my elderly parents and really boosted their enjoyment of their vacation.

Home away from home

We had a great time. The house is awesome. Has everything you need. We loved being on the lagoon and kayaking with only steps to walk across to ocean. Great views throughout and the elevator made life easy with the luggage and cooler. Only thing I would recommend is front porch furniture and some dining chairs on back porch. This was my favorite of all the houses we have ever stayed at on vacation.

Best kind of beach- quiet

We chose this property mainly because of the elevator and all the rooms (for the most part) being on the same level. The house was equipped to prepare all our planned meals even birthday cupcakes. Loved having quick access to the bay as well as the beach. The beach was so perfect as we were one of just a few families. The walk to the beach was short. The back porch was perfect for morning coffee, and the large table was great for evening meals. It was a great week and changed our opinion of Gulf Shores.

Great property

We really enjoyed our stay. The home accommodated our group very well. The beach access is close and the views from the home were great. You can hear the waves from the front porch. We did wish for a few more pots, pans, etc that were larger to accommodate a larger group. The kitchen was slightly sparsely furnished if you plan to cook a lot during your stay. However we were able to make it work with what was provided for the most part. I would absolutely stay here again for the access to the beach and gulf shores. We really loved the layout of the home.

Memory Maker!

My husband and I and my 90-year-old mother-in-law chose Lagoon Time for a very special trip to the Gulf. It was the first time in years that my mother-in-law had visited the ocean, and it had been quite a while since I and my husband had spent time on Alabama's Gulf beaches. We had a blast and loved Lagoon Time. The views of the Lagoon from the back deck and living room windows were beautiful and provided a great spot to watch the sunsets. The front porch allowed us to see the white dunes and the blue of the ocean across the street. The house was spacious and clean, and the location was perfect for either staying put and enjoying the beach there, or taking off for day trips and local attractions. We all hated to leave and hope we can return soon.

It is a very spacious house and was easy to get across the street to the beach, which was nice. This property is really meant for guests driving in and bringing all of their stuff for the beach, towels, etc. Our whole group was flying in and we had to buy beach chairs at Walmart because there wasn't anything there. Also, the elevator didn't work. We reached out and someone came out to fix it, but they didn't fix anything, didn't leave a note as to what we should do, and didn't respond to my follow up about it. The house also had no dish towels and only one bath towel per person, so we had to do laundry multiple times on our trip - not ideal on vacation.

Thank you for staying with us. We apologize if you expected there to be beach chairs provided. If a previous guest leaves some, we will let them remain, but we don’t advertise them as A) they have a tendency to walk-off, B) don’t’ hold up well in our environment, C) easily mold and mildew if not stored properly. 10-days prior to arrival we send “Tips on what we supply and what you should bring”. It is noted that we unfortunately don’t provide beach supplies but there are local companies that can outfit guests with anything that may be needed. Each full-bathroom is supplied with 4 bath towels, 4 wash cloths, 4 hand towels, 1 bathmat, and 1 roll of TP. The kitchen is supplied with 4 kitchen towels, 4 kitchen cloths, 1 sponge, 4 dishwasher tabs, small thing of Palmolive dish soap, 4 trashcan liners, small thing of Tide laundry detergent, and 1 roll of paper towels. It isn’t standard in our area to provide daily linen service but we do include a washer/ dryer. We don’t provide enough essentials (tp, paper towels, etc) to last for the entire trip. We were notified that the elevator was not working so we sent instructions for use as 95% of the time, it is operator error. Home elevators are a little different than commercial elevators (ie: you must make sure all external door are shut and the internal accordion door is shut). After being notified that there was still an issue, we sent maintenance who couldn’t figure it out either. We had to make an appointment with the elevator company out of Mobile, whose first availability was 2-days later, on day of departure. The technician reset the elevator by turning the elevator breaker off then back on again and it began working properly. We had never experienced this issue before but we now know that it is an easy fix. We sincerely apologize about this inconvenience.

Cute but…

The outside of the house was beautiful and the floor plan was great, but the cleaning was subpar, the kitchen was dirty and the furniture definitely needs to be updated and I felt like I walked into a 1985 Ethan Allan store. Whomever owns this place needs to spend a few bucks. The amount of money charged for the house, it should’ve had better kitchenware, rugs, and furnishings. Old pots and mix matched everything. Didn’t even have wine glasses. There’s no excuse for even being sold.lthere.
