Our family really enjoyed the hospitality that our host provided. The beach is our happy place and it was very easy to go across the street to enjoy the beach, plenty of room and really enjoyed the view from the front deck great place for relaxing and being close to everything that you would like to go see.

Nice and quiet

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. We brought our dog and was able to walk him on the lease with ease. First trip to Gulf Shores alone. Normally we bring all the family. This would be a great place to stay again with our kids and grandkids. Easy beach access, clean, and quiet. Short walk to the store and places to eat.

Beach Getaway

Perfect location, private beach access, close to all the shops and restaurants. Check out process is very simple and easier than most. Well stocked with beach supplies and ice. Only suggestion would be a few more kitchen items might make cooking easier.

Family Vacation/Softball Tournament

Great family friendly location. Beach is located across the street. Easy fast access to the beach. The house is away from all the condos so you don’t have to fight for the “perfect” beach spot. Also, away from all the hustle and bustle from the sight seeing, but still only a few minutes away. Perfect location for family quality time!

Great location!

Overall, it's a great place. There were a few cleaning issues (not Stephanie's fault, her cleaner). Stephanie responded right away and sent her back over to fix the issues. You have a great view of the ocean in the bedroom on the second floor and a good view from the porch. I would definitely come back here again.

Great location but needs deep cleaned!

The property is in a great location with private beach right across the street. However, it is not worth the money to stay. If I was in a hotel I would have requested my money back. The entire home needs a massive deep cleaning. The ceiling fans are black with dirt. There are fans in each room and they were so caked in dirt and other peoples hair it was nasty. All of the air conditioning vents have dirt coming out of them and the ceiling is stained. The upstairs shower has zero water pressure. The hand rail to the upstairs has what looks like chocolate hand print smears all over it. The kitchen chairs look like they will fall apart if you sit incorrectly, and one of them has a screw sticking out of the seat, my child got stabbed by it. The listing says there are beach chairs, but there are none. Also the ex-husband lives next door and there were so many people coming in and out , tons of cars, not peaceful at all.

The location was great however the neighbor that lives next door was not. We said hello when we arrived and he barely spoke to us. The 2nd day we were there he came over and asked my 2 grandkids if they picked up his Amazon package which they both replied no. Not 10 minutes later the Amazon truck pulled up to deliver it. The house has 3 bedrooms and not 1 of the tv's in the bedrooms worked. When you have 2 boys age 17 and 18 they want to play their Xbox at night. Overall the house was okay but given the unfriendliness of the neighbor, I wouldn't stay again.

Clean & Comfortable Near the Beach

The duplex was clean and conveniently located just down the road from restaurants and shopping and right across the street was beach access. The check-in process was easy, and the hostess answered all questions promptly. Enjoyable family stay!!!

About the host

Host profile image
A long time ago:

I am a single mom raising 3 children here in beautiful Gulf Shores and my property is completely 100% owner-operated. I strive to provide a clean, comfortable, affordable vacation for all!

7/15/2024
I wrote that description many years ago. Everything is still true, but I have since remarried a wonderful man, Wes, who works in home inspections. He comes in handy to make sure that the property is up to par safety wise.

Wes and I live in town, about 5 miles away. I am a mental health therapist. I work in a psychiatric hospital in Daphne. My oldest child works for Ikes, and provides beach services to all the vacationers. He's the one that sets the chairs out on the beach. I have a beautiful daughter who is up at Auburn, following in my footsteps and getting a psychology degree. And my youngest is now 14 years old and starting the marching band. I am proud of all 3 of them and you may meet them when they come to see their dad, next door...
It is true that my ex-husband lives next-door to your rental unit. It is a duplex . He's a nice guy, his name is Randy. He's a criminal attorney if you get any trouble while you're down here! He knows a lot about fishing too, charter boats and honey holes.

Everyone in my family looks forward to having happy vacationers at our condo.

Why they chose this property

In 2009, I had been vacationing in Gulf Shores for over 20 years. I decided to buy in and relocate for a safer place to raise my kids.
West Beach in Gulf Shores is by far the best spot! Quiet and peaceful, but close to many attractions, and within walking distance to shops and restaurants.
We offer a hurricane refund, cat 2 and up.

What makes this property unique

This is the most popular spot on West Beach for spring break. The best part of the beach, this property is 1 block west of the last convenience store, ice cream, seafood, family friendly bar and grill with live music. Great Gulf view, Big front porch with breakfast table. Outdoor shower. Covered picnic table. Beach across street from home, lagoon/bay behind. Heart of West Beach.
