The unit was very clean and access to the beach was easy. However, there were no beach chairs, beach towels, etc. I messaged and was told to go across the street and rent chairs.

Everything was really nice. The unit was very clean, plenty of towels and starter supplies. There was only 3 of us so, lots of room to spread out. The pool was very clean. It is a very family oriented which is wonderful. The kitchen was stocked well. We truly enjoyed our stay and will consider coming back again.

Enjoyable

When we arrived the view was amazing, house was nice, sand all in the floor and black stuff would come off the floor onto your feet. Master bedroom bed was terrible, every move you would make would wake the whole house because it was so noisy.

This was our first time to Gulf Shores and man what an experience. This property is looking directly at the ocean from the balcony and the views were stunning. I caught every sunrise while we were there with a coffee in hand. The quick walk to the beach made it easy for the family to bring what we needed with us without a far walk. The covered parking was a bonus, and the property itself is beautiful and had everything we needed for the week. It is in walking distance to a few places to eat. We didn’t even need our car the entire time we stayed. The only comment I have that dings the stay just a bit is the mattresses. As others have said, they do squeak very loudly. I’m a light sleeper and ended up having to buy earplugs so I could drown out the sound. Other than that, 10/10 trip and we will be back again. This is our new fall beach spot.

Great property at Gulf Shores. Very clean and as advertised. Great location. Only thing we would recommend is having the cleaning supplies like paper towels, napkins and things like salt and pepper, coffee filters. 5 stars for our experience.
