We enjoyed the property. It was a great size for our family of 7. We enjoyed having the pool in the backyard. The beach was a short walk/drive away. Easy access to all the things Gulf Shores has to offer. It was an easy drive to Pensacola to watch the Blue Angels.
The property was as advertised. Love the location.
No needed to go anywhere with pool & beach

Nice Stay
We enjoyed our stay! I was concerned after reading some of the reviews but happy to find that they updated the sofa and added some chairs at the pool! Lounge chairs would have made for 5 stars! Loved having a crockpot on hand because we like to cook our own food when possible! Short walk to the beach and the pool was perfect on the cooler windy days!
Loved staying here with a large group. Excellent location, pool was great to cool off in! We will definitely be back.
Yes the couch needs to be replaced and didn’t use couch bed because looked in very poor condition, but we still had plenty of room to sleep 11 even without using it. This was our first time for Gulf Shores and we cannot wait to return!

We had the time of our life. The Beach Ball staff was awesome.
The house is great. Located in a great spot and walking distance to beach. The kids loved the pool. House was everything we needed to enjoy a stress free vacation. Could use some updates and new couch but it worked. Thanks for having us! We’d definitely stay again

Home was comfortable. Pool was nice. Would have been better if it were heated. The property grounds need attention. Lattice needs to be replaced to secure pool area. Did have a few problems that were all resolved quickly. Would stay at Beachball properties again.
Overall home was accurate to listing. Home had all you should need, just needs some cleaning on outside & an additional exit from house for safety. Pool was very nice but too many using it to wash off sand instead of hose pipe, so you then constantly feel it swimming even after PM had someone come clean it.
We had a great week at this property! The owners were so helpful if we had a question and the neighbor who lives next door was very friendly. She took our garbage out the day we forgot and dealt with us being loud all week. It’s very close to the beach which was nice and it was very clean. Two things I would change is having more light at the pool. We could only find the one red light so it was hard to see at night and there was no pantry for food. We had to empty out one of the cupboards that had cups in it for our food and snacks. Other than that, it was great.
We love this neighborhood. It is so close to the beach and everything else that is going on and yet quiet and a nice get-a-way. The couch needs to be replaced, it is like sitting on a rock on the ground but the other chairs were fine. The path to the pool needs some attention. When you are walking to and from the pool, shoes are a must as there is no path and there is glass and other dangerous things on the ground. There is no information in the condo about check out requirements and we had nowhere to put trash. We message the manager and they never answered us with what to do with it and we ended up leaving it by the laundry door. We would come back again!

Couple ugly pâté he’s in ceiling (I kept looking at this since we do remodeling) poor was loaded with sand no coffee cups only 1 medium size pan ! Fridge is old not enough pillows and the laundry room is super dirty not organized at all first thing I saw is an underwear laying on the floor ! The pool is super small all the sun hits it there’s no chairs umbrellas tables etc etc ! I found no check in instructions when I got there Gad a hard time finding the wifi they basically don’t have any greeting instructions the price is great the house is big enough but they could do a little more to make it perfect
We had a great time and the location was perfect. Bring your bikes

Well located
Nice location. Had some problems with initial access. We were given the wrong door code but management company were easy to reach and responded quickly. Property is worn and in need of renovation. We stayed in July and the pool is very warm because it’s so small.

The proximity to the beach was great, it was just a short walk. Upon entering, it was the cleanliness that was an issue. The floors were not cleaned, black chunks of something was evident. Hair was on the sheets as well as what looked to be cigarette ash on a bedspread. The pool was not cleaned, sand and rocks on steps and bottom. After I called and complained, Roger arrived 2 hours later. He was polite and mopped the floors and changed all the sheets. Our first day there was basically wasted because of this. The pool service arrived 2 days later. This place needs the landscaping trimmed in the backyard area. Palm tree branches were in front of the screen door and need to be cleared. I do have pictures if management would like to see the floor and sheet issue.
The location was perfect for us. We enjoyed many of the local restaurants. I am a runner and enjoyed the location for morning runs. Nice easy walk to the beach. Nice pool in the back for evening swims. I will mention, the pictures make the backyard looked fenced in. It is for the most part but not completely due to the carport panels and doors being removed. Thanks for letting us stay!
The only thing I think I would change would be the mattresses in the bunk bed room were very uncomfortable and they dryer took forever to dry anything. Other than that it was perfect! Great distance to the beach, was able to walk no problem and the pool was very nice!

House was OK
The walk to the beach was very short. Living room and master bath were very spacious. Bathrooms were well updated.
I wish the house had been better supplied with eating utensils and plastic tumblers for the children.
Very short walk to the beach and distance to area attractions was great!!! The bathrooms have been updated but the rest of the house needs to be updated and Bunk beds need new mattresses!! The pictures on the listing show more amenities than were available during our stay. Management was easy to get ahold of concerning a minor issue and resolution was fast.
Property was clean & neat. Kitchen pots, pans, plates, cups were well stocked. Beach toys, chairs, etc were there for use! Easy walk to the beach. Larger beds were very comfy! TVs we’re large! Only small complaint would be mattresses on bunk beds were not comfortable. You could feel the springs through them. Everything else was great!

Not too happy with Beach N Back
Arrived on Tuesday; live TV didn't work. Could only get YouTube app on tv for movies. Called Beachball to report it that night. A service man came on Wednesday but couldn't fix it. I shared that the dish outside was covered in vines. Another service person came Saturday and partially fixed it. So we never had live tv. Backyard is not completely fenced; pictures on website appear that it is fenced in, but it certainly is not. No hot pads/oven mitts anywhere in the house. Very unfriendly and unwelcoming neighbor across the street!!!! That's not Beachball's fault but certainly did not make for a relaxing vacation. The crazy lady charged my husband with assault and involved the police when he was just trying to talk to her. This is my third time staying at a Beachball property and have always been pleased. I was just not at all pleased with this property. Will try to go back to the one I have stayed in before.
The house is old and the 2 little bathrooms have been updated. BRING beach towels because the tired "industrial" towels are small and thin. Your beach towels guarantee thick cotton, soft drying above the industrial "Motel 6" free towels. I repeatedly put those small white in dryer to have ready for next bathing needs because they sagged like rags and not space to hang dry.
All the BUNK BED mattresses are uncomfortable because the coils are felt throughout. Just running hand over the bunk mattress cover all the circular coils are felt, so it feels like sleeping on metal circles! My sons and their two cousins are 15+ and put their bed comforters on the sheet to create padding and slept on their backs to distribute their weight and feel the coils. They said sleeping on their sides bent the coils into their sides which was uncomfortable.
The 2 Queen mattresses are saggy in the center and only a little end table between beds for any surface to place your items. I used the shelf in the closet to place my lotion, hair brush and make up, etc. There are marks in the stained carpet where a dresser use to be under the bedroom TV. All of the house is hardwood except the Queen bedroom.
The neighborhood was quiet (HANG OUT band performances can be softly detected some nights) but no sound disruption. The hanging swing is a nice shady retreat. The iron patio set near by COULD be a place to sit if all the decrepit cushions are replaced.
