The listing does not do this house justice. Absolutely beautiful. Perfect view of the Ocean from the living room and rear bedrooms, all with balconies for hours of reading while listening to the ocean. The private pool was perfect for our grandchildren. A bonus is your away from the main tourist area of Gulf Shores so the beach does not tend to get over crowded.House was very clean and actually had 2 refrigerator/freezers. Perfect for large groups and a dining room table that seats 12. Everything you could ask for. Communication with Harris Properties, who manage the home, was easy with responses in minutes. One of the very best homes we've ever rented. We give this our highest recommendation.

Hi Robert, thanks for the wonderful review of A Place in the Sun!
This place was perfect! Right on the beach away from the crowds. It even has a fenced area for your fur baby to use! Furnishings are in great shape and comfortable. Kitchen is plentifully stocked. A really nice place to stay in. We may book again next year.
