Family beach time!

We loved the house and beach!! Also loved that it was pet friendly. The back queen bed needs fixed or replaced. The frame makes horrible noise if you even move.There are 2 charcoal grills we enjoyed also. Great family house and beach. Hope to come back!!

Fall break at the beach.

The property was just as advertised, beautiful home just steps from the boardwalk. It was the perfect place for my family. Spacious bedrooms and the kitchen was great. It was fully stocked with any thing you could need. The only complaint I have is that when we arrived all three of the trash cans under the house were overflowing and there were several bags of trash on the ground. We had to take it to the street on our first night so we would have somewhere to put our trash. Other than that, everything was great.

Great location for beach access! Perfect for a family!

You couldn’t ask for a better location with the boardwalk being right next to the home, giving you access to the beach in just a short walk. We have stayed in this neighborhood before and enjoy how quiet it is. Our family enjoyed our time here.

Perfection

The location could not have been better, close enough to visit everything, far enough away to not have the amount of people in Gulf Shores. The house was clean, all the bedrooms were comfortable and tidy. All of the bathrooms were a good size. Every morning you could get up and look out the front and see the ocean. Our group really enjoyed this location.

Nice property, fantastic location

While the weather could have been warmer during our stay, we still had a great time. Nice being able to walk out your door, down the boardwalk to the beach ... perhaps about 75 yards or so. Had to call maintenance for an issue with the lock; he was at the property in about 30 minutes and was professional and was able to make a quick repair for us. Would rent again.

Great location so close to the beach

Fantastic home in a great location! The walk to the beach was barely longer than a beachfront home thanks to being right next to the beach walkway. The house was clean and comfy, and we loved the ice maker in the kitchen! The only things I’d recommend to the owners would be an outside shower head for rinsing off after beach trips, and a gas grill would be great. Maybe some “house” beach chairs. My family loved this property and we would definitely rent it again. We also really liked eating at the Sassy Bass Grill nearby.

Amazing Location

I have to say, this may be my favorite house we've stayed at through VRBO. The location was amazing, it was never noisy, the beach only steps away. From the kitchen and living room, the windows provide a view of the Gulf. The house itself was clean, in good condition. This location was far enough from the business of Gulf Shores, yet within easy driving distance to anywhere we wanted to go. My only recommendations are to bring extra blankets if you get cold easily at night. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. I hope to return.

The little things

The dumpsters were full for the first five days we were there, we had nowhere to put our trash, there’s a significant rip in the couch and the rug was torn, there was a dirty rag in the sink upon our arrival and the counters needed to be cleaned.

Relaxing and comfortable

Absolutely loved the layout of the house from the kitchens to the bathrooms! The kitchen was dreamy with plenty of space to be able to prepare meals and have lots of people in the kitchen at the same time. The view from the kitchen was outstanding, even though it was not directly on the beach! I would have given 5 stars, but the access to the beach was not ideal. There is a boardwalk, however there are no steps to get onto the boardwalk so you have to hoist yourself up about 3 feet, not ideal for wagons or strollers!!
