Great place to get away!

We enjoyed a short stay! We grabbed groceries before arriving (great to do unless you’re not wanting to cook) and ate right down the road at Tacky Jack’s 2. The community is sweet, quiet, and secluded. We enjoyed walking around, quiet beach spots, and playing pool and ping pong while watching movies under the house.

My Happy Place is the perfect Happy Place!!

Everything was clean, fully stocked, and has lots of fun things to do at the house and toys for the beach! The golf cart was perfect to load up and drive just a little ways so you can spend the day at the beach. The beach was not overcrowded at all! We had so much fun at he beach!

Meh

Golf cart didn't work, no bicycles, so we had to walk down the street to the beach with our elderly mom and a baby. Apparently the golf cart hadn't worked for some time because there was a garbage can in front of it with trash and maggots where it had been sitting. It stunk to the high heavens outside so we pulled the cart out and emptied nasy trash that wasnt ours. Pool table/ping pong table was in very bad shape with broken pool sticks and a warped table. Arcade game didn't work either. I emailed the owner with no reply. The house itself wasn't nasty, but wasn't clean either. The beds were made with fresh linens, and clean dishes, but the wall was even nasty behind the garbage can in the kitchen, and the floors were Sandy. All in all, not a horrible stay, the house was fairly nice, well equipped, and plenty of room. I just wish I got what I thought I was paying for. That golf cart and those bicycles would have been a big help with getting our family to the beach.

We enjoyed are stay at My Happy Place!! Especially loved hanging out in the area under the house on the swing, playing pac man and watching the hockey game. The golf cart was another huge plus getting our stuff to the beach. I highly recommend staying there.

Disgusting, terrible, don’t waste your MONEY, over priced with promises of amenities that do NOT exist. Golf cart had a flat and was apparent it had not moved in some time. Dirty rugs, faulty wiring that GFC plug had to be reset more than once. Air conditioning was broken took the entire day to repair and get the temperature out of the 80’s. I can go on, worst rental and experience I have had with Expedia (Verbo)
Nasty air filter we changed
Air got into the 90’s before repairs were made

Great spot!

We enjoyed our stay in Gulf Shores at this property immensely. Property owners were super to deal with. Property comes with some nice perks--golf cart, chairs, fishing pole holders, ping pong table, video game... patio refrigerator, and more. Would definitely stay again. Our only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer :)

Beware of no current reviews

I noticed there were no current reviews and wondered why.... now i know why. 1. The description states that this propert is cimpletely updated. Untrue! The beds and linens appear to have been as well as the living room couch. But nothing else...the refigerator is old and has a dent in it..the dryer wasnt wirking when we arrived. The next day, a nice repairman showed up to replace it. He forgot his dolly and returned that afternoon. After lugging tye new dryer up the front steps( the only way to access the house itself, he had to remove the toilet to get the dryer into the room. But the dryer was too big, so he had to tske it back down the stairs. He came with another dryer 2 days later... the property manager offered us no compensation for the days of inconvenience. 2. The ceiling fans were filthy with at least 1/4 inch of black dirt on the top.... 3. All the tvs had been updated 4. The pictures make this listing look very spacious. It isnt! The one gathering room( living room) will not accommodate 9 peoole or even 6 people..max 4 i would guess. 5. The outsude front porch was very nice..seating for 6....a sliver of an ocean view.. 6. The under the house" rec room" looks very little like the pics. There is a wide bed like swing, an arcade game, and a ping pong table , but we found no net, paddles or balls. The small refrigerator down there was filled with mold. so unusable. The view from there is of trashcans left on the small street by neighbors and weeds. Needless to say, we spent no time there. There was beach equipment and chairs, but everythimg was strewn about..the advertisef paddleboard is inflatable ...i dont see how one can use it on the ocean..so again, useless 7. I guess having a golf cart was to be a plus, but since all the little separate neighnorhoods there do not connect, you can go no where in it. Traffic along 180 to access the bay or go to a restaurant or marina( 1 mile away) is so fast , it is illegal and too dangerous to take the golf cart there..so, it was useless! 8. I see this rental is now asking 1000+ a night..a complete rip off! Thank goodness we didnt pay that much! I would have been furious. Lesson learned! If there are no current reviews, RUN !

Wonderful property!

We had a wonderful stay! House was bright, cheerful and clean! The extra amenity’s are fantastic. The golf cart, pool table, ping pong, and video games entertained my teens for hours. The fact that I could bring my dog was great. We took lots of walks on the pet friendly beach together. The owners were so wonderful to work with. They even had new umbrellas and a couple of other items sent to the house for guest use while we were there. They have simply thought of every item to make your stay enjoyable. The neighborhood is very well kept and the pools, and tennis court are great. I will definitely book again and tell all my friends and family to check this property out for their next vacation.
