Location is awesome, we were 10 minutes from our youth camp, 15 minutes from the beach, and right by Target / Publix. The house was spacious and had everything we needed. The backyard was a plus for team building games that we had planned. Plenty of towels and pots / pans for cooking meals. Would stay there again

Perfect for our family of 11. The backyard was PERFECT for an intimate wedding reception. It’s so much nicer than it looks in pictures. This was our first time using VRBO and we had a great experience. It was central to ALL the fun things but the neighborhood itself was quiet. The only thing I recommend it to bring your own toilet paper lol

Accommodations very clean and exactly as listed. Very good and fast communication when an issue came up, which they resolved. When my dog accidentally caused some minor damage, they were so nice and understanding and everything was resolved smoothly. Happy with the visit!!!

Great Family Home with perfect location to OWA

The home was perfect for our family of 12. The location was close to restaurants and shopping and not far from OWA and the beach. Our grandchildren had a great time with the games and we BBQ'd in the back yard. Plenty of room to sleep everyone and everything worked as it should. Parking was easy for our multiple cars as well. Angie was responsive when I called or sent her a text.

Family Fun

Our extended family of smaller families were able to all gather together and have the best time. The kids enjoyed the bunk beds and the game room. The bunk beds were a great size and could hold at least 8 kiddos. We loved having all of the bed options with the pull out couches. The backyard area was great to hang out as a family and just enjoy each other. There was a great ambiance with the lighting and the seating was great as well. There are multiple tvs with connectivity so the kids didn't have to argue about what to watch. There were board games in the downstairs living space that were able to be enjoyed as well. The kitchen had enough space and was stocked enough for us to cook breakfast each morning and dinner/lunch throughout our stay to save money with such a large group.The proximity to the beach and fun things on the strip was great! We were able to go to a local park that was literally minutes away and to get to the beach that was less than 10 minutes away. There's a Target and Dollar General on either side of the street where the house is located for quick pickups of things that may have been forgotten or needed. We didn't have any complaints at all and would definitely recommend the Southern Star to guests in this area.

Inaccurate listing

At first glance it was great then the hot tub that it stated that the property had wasnt there nor was there a firepit. Also there was broken glass on the rug in the living room that we didn't see till my 8 month old granddaughter was cut by it. Also no extra toilet paper. Definitely will not recommend!

Nice house with more than enough space

I booked this home for my family summer vacation.We were a family of 14.This house had more then enough room, and plenty of towels to bathe.There are two refrigerators and two dryers which is perfect for large groups.I would recommend more pots and pans,an iron,and more items in the starter packs.But just to be on the safe side bring extra toilet tissue,dish washing liquid ,laundry detergent and paper towels if you are staying more then 3 days and have a large group.Angie was a great host and was there to answer all of my questions. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach is a beautiful place (very expensive) but beautiful and we would visit again.
