Small enjoyable place

Excellent fit for two people, no ocean view, but just a block or two walk to the beach. Since this place is off the main road there is little traffic to worry about. Short walk to some nice restaurants.

This property was conveniently close to many activities.

From the time of our arrival we found this property to be just as listed. The check in process was simple as the home was nice & clean. The environment was a safe place with a family feel to it. We were able to rest here, and whenever we decided to leave for outdoor activities, we were always able to find a variety within walking distance. I’d definitely stay here again.

MUST BOOK!

My husband and I took our one year old here for a beach vacation. This cozy home couldn’t have been more perfect. It was the perfect size for us. Not only was the home itself clean and comfortable, but the location couldn’t be more perfect! You get a “quiet” feel away from traffic but still walking distance to anything you will need- beach included! We loved our stay and would recommend to anyone.

Relaxing Getaway for the familu

This is our 3rd time to this area. We love it down here. The spot is perfectly close to everything, no matter which direction you are going. The place had the basics in the kitchen to make your own meals. Each time the property manager has always been quick and easy to reach when needed. We will be back again.

Great Spot for a family of FOUR!

Spring break 2023 was great! My wife and daughter and her friend had a great time in Gulf Shores. The only complaint would be the new build next to us. They started at 6:00 every morning and it would have been nice if the owner would have communicated that so we could have decided if we wanted to stay somewhere else. Other than that it was a great week.

Nice, Cute, Close to the beach

Absolutely loved this little place. It was pretty spacious, very clean, and just a 4 Minute walk to the beach. We went for girls weekend and it was big enough for the 2 of us. It’s close to many restaurants and some shopping centers. The TV was neat as we could watch Roku as a guest. The Hangout which was a 6-7 minute walk was playing live music all night. It was nice to hear it on the porch! Definitely recommend this place if you are wanting cute, close to everything, and a spacious space to stay. The only issues I had which are very small… were there is no handle in the shower and apparently it can get pretty slick. So just be careful. My other thing was the beds are a little uncomfortable but still manageable. Just something to get used to.

Long Weekend Getaway

This property is conveniently located and as listed is easy walking distance beach access. It was the perfect space for 2 couples. The large covered porch is an added bonus for when the weather isn’t ideal or just to relax on. Overall cleanliness of the property was excellent upon arrival. It would be helpful for there to be a small broom provided on property to clean any sand that’s tracked inside the throughout the stay.

Our stay for Daughters College golf tournament in Gulf Shores. March 2-4th 2025

Perfect cottage for us . cute & quaint 2 bed 1 bath. I picked because of location for our needs of this trip.we walked to the waffle house for breakfast in the mornings. A block over was our beach access. It was quite. We were at the golf course most of the time during our stay. There is also a little store on the corner. Parade was a block over but we were at the GC during that time. We enjoyed our stay. It was 5 doors from a teammates family house so i had an idea of what kinda area & vibe that would be a place my hubby could just relalx. He could careless about the beach. Everyone else stayed at the other end & it sounded like it wasn't quite as peacefully. They were right on the beach. I didnt really see any kids around but we were gone alot and they were in schools during our trip. It also was nice to sit on the deck. You can see a peek a boo of the ocean thur one of buildings on a clear day. Hubby said it was perfect for just us two.
