My husband and I stayed for the entire month of November with our 2 dogs. The property is in a neighborhood setting that is convenient to the beach, the state park, restaurants, and shopping. Easy access to sidewalks and park trails for dog walking. The house is very spacious (note that only the master bedroom is on the main floor-the other 2 bedrooms are on the second level with the 2nd full bath) and also very clean and well-kept. The host also provides a lot of extras not normally offered: laundry and dish detergent, shampoo, body wash, and even coffee! Communication was quick and the host was friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone.

Beautiful stay

The house was clean, beautifully decorated, and conveniently located near the beach. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and plenty of beach toys to enjoy. It was so relaxing hanging out on the deck and we enjoyed spending time together after a fun day at the beach. One of the best rentals we’ve had. When we arrived one A/C wasn’t fully functioning. The owner responded quickly and tried to get it addressed that same night but it was late. The repair man arrived promptly at 8am the next morning. Everything about our stay was wonderful!

Fourth of July Stay

Everything was good, except we didnt get our code to get in til 4:15 and was suppose to get it by 3 and we had to call a vrbo person and they couldn't get ahold to owner for about 45 minutes and we had to stay on the phone with him but we enjoyed it after we got in, the only thing i could saybad was there was still sand everywhere on the floor from the last people and i guess the floor wasnt swept good, over all i would stay there again

First vacation with three generations

We love Gulf Shores and everything about it. Because of that, our son and his family wanted to experience the area with us. We needed a place to accommodate the two of us and his family for vacation. It was our first time using Vrbo. This place did not disappoint and was exactly as advertised. It felt luxurious. There was plenty of room for us all along with separate areas to unwind. When hurricane Helene happened and concerns about the upcoming hurricane Milton, I reached out to the host and he responded promptly about the conditions there. He was even willing to keep us updated about the upcoming weather and the possibility of it changing directions. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we would certainly do it again.

Family vacation

We had a great stay in this beach house. There were six adults and our small dogs. Everything in the house is updated. They have plenty of beach toys, some umbrellas, chairs, and a wagon that you can easily walk to the beach. It’s about two blocks to the beach, and the path to the sand is hard enough you can still wheel the wagon or a cooler over it. There’s a water hose and an outdoor shower to rinse before coming in. The one issue we ran into was the amount of stickers/burrs in the yard. Some of them were easy to get out, but others were more difficult and painful. If you bring your dog, perhaps consider some doggy shoes.

Perfect Beach Getaway!

The house was very clean, spacious, and felt incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived. It was well-stocked with everything we needed—kitchen and bathrooms included shampoo, conditioner, body wash, cookware, and appliances. The extra touches—like the beach chairs, tent, toys, and cart—were incredibly helpful and saved us time and money.It's just two blocks from the beach, which made for a quick and easy walk, and it's conveniently close to great restaurants (we recommend The Hangout and Subliner Diner). The location was ideal—close to the beach, activities, and shops, but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood that made for restful nights.The beds were very comfortable, and the primary shower was amazing. We appreciated having a washer and dryer available—it helped us pack lighter and go home with clean clothes. There were also games provided, which would be great for families or rainy days (though we didn’t end up using them).We did experience a temporary issue with the keypad, but the owners responded quickly and got everything sorted right away. Excellent communication!Highly recommend this home for a relaxing and comfortable Gulf Shores vacation!

My family really loved staying here! It was very clean and the host went out of their way to make sure we had everything we’d need while staying. It was also a very easy walk to the beach. There are a lot of places to eat that are also in walking distance. Definitely one of our favorite places and we hope to book again in the future!
