Vacation

Current Situation was perfect for our needs. Bre was responsive and despite a hiccup with the oven, the place was really nice. Easy check in and check out. The house is right across the street and up a boardwalk onto the beach.

It was a good vacation

It was a good vacation and the home was in a good location, but the home is in need of quite a bit of repairs. Multiple windows have duct tape on them. Several the ceiling fans do not work. You can tell in a lot hotter environment maybe during the summer, the air condition will struggle Lotta maintenance issues on the outside of the house.

Short walk to a beautiful beach!

This house was perfect for our family of seven adults. The walk to the beach is very short and the view from the upper deck is priceless. The description in the listing is accurate; everything you possibly need is there waiting for you.

Great for families

We enjoyed the location and space of this house. Pet friendly, in which we loved. Kitchen well equipped, plenty of towels and washcloths in bathrooms. Only negatives were loose boards on the main deck, doors sometimes hard to open and housekeeping could definitely improve. Windows dirty, hard to see through. Bathrooms need cleaned better and updated. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here.

Beach views, fishing and a pool!

Beach, pool and fishing dock were great! House was fine but needed some extra cleaning. Problem with one of the TVs that was not resolved but all in all we had a great time together at this home. Some of the pics were old and showed outdoor seating that was no longer there. Exterior is rough and could use some work. The pool was never crowed and we really enjoyed that too!

Steps to beach and bay

We had a group of 4 couples all over 50. House was fantastic. Had everything we needed. Pool and dock were fantastic. Water was clear in the bay so we certainly enjoyed swimming in it. The beach was across the street with easy access. Enjoyed both the beach and the bay. House had many beach chairs and other items to be used outside. Hoping to return! Wish we had one extra day but certainly enjoyed all. Only left to restock supplies.

Thanksgiving Fun 🦃❄️

Lovely time in Gulf Shores! House was great and the elevator really made bringing in luggage and groceries a breeze. Grandmother is in a wheelchair and she was able to go to each floor with ease. Wish the weather was warmer to enjoy the beach more but we got some great family time in around the pretty fireplace! Good times! Only negative is the 1st floor queen bed is uncomfortable and hard. House was lovely! Would love to come back in warmer months to enjoy the cute pool and dock! Good times! Thank you!

Weekend Getaway

Host was very nice and let me drop food off early. There were plenty of towels, space, and beds. Beautiful house, view and location. Quiet neighborhood. I felt the cleaning fee was a bit high considering there was a lot of dust under beds and sofa. A couple pans, cooking utensils and hot pads were not clean. Some safety issues were the outside lighting and lighting in elevator room were burned out making it very dark at night when coming or going. Also railing at the very top of indoor stairs on 3rd floor is loose. There was no shampoo so be sure to bring your own. Overall the place was beautiful and location was perfect for an “all girls weekend getaway “ with my daughters and granddaughters. Would definitely recommend Bre’s place and would stay there again!

Good beach access

Bathroom access was outside the bedroom for three of the four bedrooms, which was less than optimal. Hurricane shield outside second floor bedroom would not fully retract and banged loudly against the windows when the wind was high. Elevator came in handy at checkout, but did not know how to get to the first floor elevator room when we got there so couldn’t use it at check in. It was hidden in the toy closet outside. Would have appreciated better instructions for finding the ground floor elevator room. Nice to have two refrigerators. Need more than one deck chair and a safety gate on second floor deck. Also would’ve appreciated info on where the beach access boardwalk was located. It was very close to the cottage, but we had to find it(like the elevator). Pleasant stay overall.

Things you should know before you go

We had multiple issues with the HVAC, which caused trouble with people sleeping at night. Eventually, the situation got resolved, but at one point the property owner said we could just leave and be refunded the next night. They also have a lot of house rules that I have never dealt with in all my times of renting on VRBO. For example, all towels and washcloths must be washed and dried and folded before you leave the property. How is that possible? When check out is at 11 AM? So we literally left without being able to brush our teeth, wash our faces or take baths. There were signs of mold around the HVAC vents upstairs. That started a disagreement with the property owner and my wife. We will not use this property again. our entire family was disappointed with the HVAC issues and check out process rules. The property definitely needs some TLC. I would judge this place by the pictures you see on the app because they are probably old. The saltwater and humidity are rough on beach properties so they need constant maintenance. Luckily, we were still able to be together as a family and have a Nice time at the beach. We stayed away from The property as much as we could. We basically had somebody out to do something almost every day we were there. Definitely overpriced for what you get.

Big Beach House/Needs TLC

This is a very large house with awesome wraparound decks and water views. One must cross a street to the ocean beach. The house needs a deep clean and some TLC. The WIFI was weak, inconsistent and not useable. The carpets smelled like stale ocean water and need to be cleaned. I reported this to owner, but cleaning was not done in the almost 2 months we were there. The HVAC system and toilets were replaced during our stay and work great. The living room couch and loveseat are very uncomfortable, also 'smell' and should be replaced. None of the thin poor quality sheets fit the beds and were constantly coming off. Mattress pads had to be stripped and washed due to recent soiling. Windows were dirty and also had to be washed to enjoy the view. Cupboards are packed full of a myriad of unmatched items, not organized and very disheveled. We had to go buy cleaning supplies and air fresheners. The house generally needs LOTS of little fixup everywhere. There are wood floors that could be beautiful with some maintenance. The jacuzzi tub does not work, and 2 of the showers only provide lukewarm water no matter how the water heater setting was set. Doors don' t seal closed and air seeps through. Yet, it's a big beach house that can sleep a large group if you just want beach time and can deal with these issues while not expecting a luxury stay.

The elevator was the gold star of our vacation and made all the difference with aging parents with low mobility. The communication wasn’t timely. Amenities were in disrepair and unusable. And while I expect to bring many things to a vacation, batteries for the remote and toilet paper are not on my list.

We loved the location and how much space we all had in the house. The private beach area and access were very convenient! The pool was easily accessible and clean. The owner was quick to respond which was nice. The house definitely is not deep cleaned so don't be surprised at the crumbs and such in cabinets and drawers, but the owner does specify it's not deep cleaned. The overall condition of the house needs some repairs, but this didn't hinder our stay. The comments about the window in the upstairs bathroom being taped around is accurate and the bed off of the kitchen we found out wasn't very sturdy, but again the owner took care of that issue as quickly as she could when it broke. I did expect the house to be in a little better condition based on the pictures and price we paid, but it definitely needed some TLC. Again we loved the location and nothing hindered our stay with the condition of the house, we just were a little surprised.
