Perfect location- about a 2 min easy walk to the beach. Beautiful views. The beach itself is clean and not crowded. Community pool and hot tub nice too. Lots of kitchen supplies and love that there were 4 bathrooms.
Everything was wonderful. Perfect location for a get away that gives you access to the tourist side of the beach while also being just far enough away to feel relaxed and peaceful. Home is very spacious. Pictures do not show true size of main level. Living and dining area is very large. Our group of 12 had more than enough space to spread out. The 3 balconies were amazing with a great view of the ocean. Home stocked with everything you need. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful stay. The beach house is beautiful. The walk to the beach is pleasant and beautiful. The pool is close to house . We enjoyed our stay and would atay here again.
This house was the perfect size for our group. We loved the huge livingroom and kitchen. The back decks were awesome to hang out on in the evenings. The covered parking was a plus. Plus Tacky Jacks is super close.
Very spacious and comfortable! There are a few items worth mentioning: despite blinds and drapes, the bedrooms facing the front did not sufficiently block out the street lights at night for our preference; there was noticeable dust on lamps and curtain finales; and there was poorly done ceiling drywall finishing. We had to purchase our own trash bags, toilet paper, and other household items (of which I was not aware of until we arrived or I would have brought certain things with me). During the time we were there it was quiet, which was nice. We also enjoyed the deck space and ocean view.
I took my daughters and friends to the beach for the weekend. The house was perfect for us. Everyone had their own bed. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home. The beach was beautiful and very private with plenty of space for everyone. The house was well equipped with anything you may need. We would definitely stay again.
We had a great stay! Note to future renters, the beach wagon hasn't been treated very nicely by past guests so you might want to bring your own. House was great and we had a great time!

Glad you had a great time! And a new beach wagon has been ordered and delivered! ❤️
This house was perfect for our week at the beach! There were 11 of us, and there was plenty of space for all. The kitchen was truly fully stocked - we had everything we needed! Everything was clean and we were very comfortable. I highly recommend booking this home for your family getaway!
The home is beautiful with plenty of space and beds for 4 couples and all the kids! The views are amazing from all 3 decks! We had everything we needed for family breakfasts and beach time! Pools and hot tubes were nice. Short walk to everything.

Fantastic beach house. Extremely well equipped. Beautiful views and great location.
We enjoyed everything about the home and location. We vacation frequently and this tops our list of places we have been. You could not ask for more in terms of the beach house itself and the beach it sits on. Great pools as well. We would love to come back. The owners were very welcoming and helpful as well. We absolutely recommend this place to all.

Thank you for the kind words! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay, and you are welcome back anytime!
The house is beautiful and exactly as described. It was clean and worked out great for us. Property manager was responsive. Only downside for us was that it was a long way away from the city, but it is great for those looking for a quiet getaway.

Perfect for us
This home was perfect for the 5 adults and six children staying here. There was plenty of room and we never felt crowded. The short walk to the beach without busy streets was a bonus. The pictures just don't do it justice! We would definitely come back!

Thanks for the kind review. Glad you had a good time! Would love to have you back again!!
We enjoyed our time. It’s was a peaceful neighborhood taking only steps to get to the beach. The house was nice however the cleanliness was a bit lacking. I swept the house upon arrival and found nail clippings in the living room. The coffee pot also had old coffee grounds left from the previous occupants. The hosts were great if I had to reach out and responded quickly. Overall it was a great trip!

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Avery
As a young family without a lot of money, our parents made a point to take us on vacations and build lasting memories. Our first beach house we rented was a tiny 1 bedroom home that we fit 3 families into, some of us sleeping in the van in the driveway. Every year, we have continued to rent beach homes, and as our family grows, these memories we are making are priceless. Recently, we decided to make a dream of ours come true and purchase our own beach home! We are a mother and her 2 daughters living out our dream. We are all married and we have 7 young children who will now have the opportunity to make memories at our new home. We are so excited to share this home with others so they can begin to build their own memories that will last a lifetime!
Why they chose this property
The minute we walked into this duplex, we knew immediately this was our home. There was something about the way the house made us feel and it just got better when we realized the views from the balconies. The neighborhood is quiet with a gorgeous pool close by and a beautiful boardwalk entry to the beach.
What makes this property unique
Not only did we fall in love with the home, we fell in love with the location. Walking out onto one of the 3 balconies you overlook protected wildlife habitat, along with the beautiful beaches of Gulf Shores. We love the local Tacky Jack's across the street from the neighborhood where you can get coffee and breakfast or go in the evening for cocktails. Our home is almost to the end of the peninsula....it is surrounded by water....it is a little piece of paradise.
