"We loved our stay at Sea Glass. The facility and our room were very clean! Loved that it was convenient to everything including a store right across the street and literally steps to the beach. Our host Jason was very responsive! Our room was super clean, updated and inviting. Great covered parking and elevators with plenty of carts to get items to your room. We’ll definitely stay here again!"

"The check-in time and checkout time could be a little better. We were allowed to check-in a couple of hours early, but we had to be out of the rental by 10:00a.m. and our flight from the airport was at 6:15p.m. I understand that the unit has to be cleaned for the next patrons arriving that day. Maybe 11:00 check-out time? All in all, it was a great stay with great weather. Will be back in the future if it's available when we come back down."

10/10 Excellent
"I got this place for my first ever solo vacation anywhere and I chose this place because pictured showed a balcony with a beautiful view of the Gulf and was an elevator ride from the Beach. This place for the price was absolutely perfect. I sat and read on the balcony and relaxed on the couch and still had a beautiful view while I relaxed and read and took in the ocean breeze. This place was a whole 13 minutes drive from the Gulf shores airport to toes in the sand. I stayed from Thursday to Sunday I was able to check in early and had a bunch of fresh seafood options within 15 minutes drive from the VRBO. Check in was easy and I had the address and the code for the place and the beach in advance of my flight so I could better prepare and really helped make it a ln easy experience. There were bunk beds that I did not need because I was on my own but they'd sleep someone 6ft or below okay. Kitchen had plenty of cooking implements though I ate out for every meal. The elevator did not work the whole first day but this was not a fault of the host at all and it was working the whole rest of the time and didn't feel sketchy at all. All in all a fantastic place not too big but still plenty spacious for 1-4 people. Pool seemed nice but I never went because the beach is right there. The water was crystal clear. I walked the beach at night and it was beautiful. You get sunrise and sunset. It was a full moon and I got to see the moonlight on the Gulf which was gorgeous 10/10"
