This is great location, truly a three minute walk to the beach. There are lots of places within walking distance from the house. This is a very clean place and stocked with all the right equipment. Our group loved this place and we will be back.

Our favorite

We had a blast there was plenty of room for everyone. The pool was a huge hit we used it daily. We rented both sides of the duplex and everyone was able to have their own space and yet could all still be together. We loved the bar/eating area outside. We have already decided this will be our rental when we are in Gulf Shores.

Great stay!

Me and my friends had a lovely stay at this property. It is super close to the beach, has amazing views, lots of balconies, and is right in town near lots to do. The host was very responsive and helpful. The one small thing I had to say is there was not much provided in terms of spices (salt and pepper) and things like that, but that is a very minor concern.

Great stay!

My family of 16 rented the whole unit and had full access to the new bar and pool. We were located across the road from the beach but was such an easy access! The house had every single eminently that was listed, along with more than enough towels! Our host answered every question we had with fast response! The whole area was very clean as well! There was also outside hoses to get all the sand off before entering the condo! We give FIVE stars and would definitely recommend staying here and we will be back!

Could have used some updating

Pics of rental were much better than the actual home. Needs some small repairs. Bathroom shower doors, broken towel rack in bathroom.

My family and I enjoyed the pool and outdoor space every day! We had 11 people, 6 adults, 4 kids and 1 baby so we had both units and were very comfortable. The beds were great! The walk to the beach is 3 minutes and there are several restaurants within walking distance. We had a wonderful beach vacation and hope to return soon!
