We had such a great stay at Strait Chillin! The check-in process was super easy and the house was perfect for our family. I believe we had 12 people at the most during the two weeks. Some came and went and some stayed the whole time. The pool was nice and very rarely were there many people in it. The location to the beach was fantastic. About a 5 minute walk from the house to the water. The house was spacious enough for all of us and the kitchen was equipped with everything that we needed! Thank you for providing a very nice property. We would love to stay there again if we come back to Gulf Shores.

Close to the beach, shops, and restaurants. House was clean and furnished with everything we needed for our stay. On the second day renters called to ensure everything was going smoothly and gave information to make my disable mom’s stay more comfortable.

Double Family Vacation

Our stay was amazing! Everything was spotless and very easy to check in and out. While we were there celebrating 2 college graduates, we also celebrated 2 birthdays, 2 babies’ first time at the beach, and an engagement on the beach (which was right across the road) making our stay very memorable!

Good place buttt..

Great location, was able to check in four hours early and have no issues with getting in touch with property manager to change the door codes a few times. Everything was great other than the beds.. the beds were awful, they all felt like sleeping on the floor and the pillows/linens were so rough and hard. It was the worst beds any of us had ever slept on. We all said we would have been better off on an air mattress than the beds at the property. If sleep and comfort is a big deal I would not book this property. Other than that everything was great.

Spring Break 2024

Our stay at this property and in Gulf Shores was fantastic. We traveled with 3 families and a total of 13 people (adults and children). This house fit us all comfortably and was just a quick walk across the street from the beach. It was alos great to have the pool just off the porch. We would definitely come back!
