Here are a few kind words from our previous guests:

"We had such a wonderful time at the Shore to Please house hosted by Deanna! She was a great friendly host, and very responsive to our questions! The house fit our big group perfectly and was a quick walk to the beach! We definitely recommend this house!" - Sienna 2025

"Our stay at Deanna’s place was wonderful! She was very kind and quickly responded to any questions/requests both prior to and during our stay. The house was clean and perfect for our family to all stay together. It had everything we needed for cooking, plenty of linens and towels (including ones for the beach!), and a working dishwasher and washer/dryer. She allowed us to use her beach buggy, which was so helpful, and beach/pool toys, all clearly well taken care of. The walk to the beach was not at all bad and the kids enjoyed playing in the lagoon catching hermit crabs 🐚. The pool wasn’t heated, but the sun was hot enough during our stay that it felt refreshing and was still enjoyable. Thank you Deanna!" - Melissa 2025

Perfect location and perfect hospitality

We loved this property for its location to the beach, the bay, and how it is situated more on the quiet end of Gulf Shores island. Our kids loved the access to the pool and sitting out on the balcony overlooking the beach. We would definitely stay here again!

Shore to Please is right!

We were in town for a baseball tournament. John and Deanna are wonderful hosts and super responsive. The house is just as advertised. Very convenient to the beach and well-appointed. We enjoyed coffee on the porch before heading out to the ball fields and cold drinks on the porch afterwards! I highly recommend Shore to Please.

Beautiful place!

We really enjoyed our week at Shore to Please! Absolutely no complaints about the house, it was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. Deanna was very prompt and helpful at all times. The only issue we had was the distance to the beach with the little ones. This would not have been a problem if we hadn’t needed so much stuff for the smaller kids and it had just been us adults. We would all definitely stay there again and I highly recommend this beach stay :) thank you for a wonderful place to stay for a week with family and friends!

Wonderful Home for family!

From beginning to end this was a great experience. The owner was extremely helpful and quick to respond with any of my questions! We were surprised to find toys & even eating utensils for our 2 year old, as well as games and beach & pool items for our older kiddos (ages 15-20). The decor is adorable, the home is very clean and well taken care of! It’s a short walk to the beach (the wagon is SO helpful!) and the pool is the perfect distance from the door! (Right behind it!) 👏🏼👏🏼 The neighborhood was quiet and also VERY clean. It’s a very short drive to area restaurants, entertainment & shopping. We had a wonderful experience!

Sure to please!

This place was awesome! Enough covered parking for up to four vehicles, across the street from the beach, and a digital welcome package (link that acts like an app) that puts all the info in one spot on your phone and makes check-in and communication a breeze! We had exactly the space we needed and were comfortable the whole time. The only negative was that we wished the internet was a little faster, but that wasn't a major issue. We will definitely be checking this place for availability the next time we plan to come to Gulf Shores. We recommend!

Great!

Overall the house was great! Super comfy beds , decorated nice ! The only probably we had was the house wasn’t ready when we arrived to check in. The cleaning staff and Deanna we super apologetic and we understand things happen sometimes! It was nice to be on the end house and pool was super close ! The beach acces was a little further that we had anticipated, but made friends with the people staying across the street and they let us use their beach access . The house had plenty of towels , lots of beach chairs and toys to use ! Overall very good experience !

Best Ever Girls Getaway

Best beach house on the block! This house is in a great location...close to Gulf Shores but far enough away to avoid crowds. The front porch faces the ocean and is decked out with cozy furniture. Parking is awesome! We fit two Tahoe's, a Blazer and a Camry in the parking space underneath the house. The storage room is loaded with beach chairs, beach toys, boogie boards and a wagon. There's also a gas grill. The interior of the house is absolutely gorgeous, super clean and completely cozy. Beds are comfortable, there is an abundance of towels (enough for 8 women), the kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook and serve beach meals. There are beach towels for guests to use and lots of games provided for family game time. Can't say enough good things about this awesome house! Thank you for a great getaway!

Wonderfully clean and convenient

The house was amazing and exactly as it was described. The new amenities were a plus, beds were extremely comfortable, even the towels Deana provided were plush:). The pool was very convenient, clean and walking trails behind the property and beach area provided a different yet very fun excursion. Deanna was very prompt and detailed with her communication which was an even larger plus. We would definitely recommend this to anyone for a wonderful, adventurous and also relaxing and stress free vacation!

Hello! Thank you for considering staying in one of our properties with Barnes Beach Houses! We privately own and manage our homes and take pride in all of them!

My husband and I live in Mansfield, TX and love hosting our guests. The majority of our guests are repeat guests and love to come back and stay at our properties year after year. We have five children; one still at home, one in college, and three more that are adults and have blessed us with five grandchildren. We both work in the healthcare industry and love to travel in our free time.

We both stay in short-term rentals when we travel, which I feel makes us better hosts. We know what we like when we stay somewhere and make sure you have the same amenities and consideration. We want all our guests to be comfortable in our houses.
