We had a great week in the Castle! When I booked, I thought I'd have more company than we actually had, but regardless it was a great place - so close to the beach access, very spacious, plenty of room for everyone. Love that there is a bathroom for each bedroom. Everyone likes that! The owner was very responsive and kind. There was plenty of parking, great outdoor showers, nice new BBQ, kitchen well stocked, an extra fridge for drinks, everything was quite nice.

Great floor plan for large families. The 1st and 2nd floors have the same layout, so there are 2 kitchens and 2 laundry rooms. 4 bedrooms on the 1st floor and 5 on the 2nd floor, each with their own bath. The beds were soft and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with pans, cookie sheets, untensils, etc. Starter supply of PT, TP, dish soap, and dishwasher detergent supplied. Plenty of parking and outdoor showers underneath the house. Beach access right across the street, with beautiful beach. The house cleaning and maintenance both needed attention. The problems ranged from dirty floors and counters to shower curtain mold to old stains on the ottoman and area rug to mold in the ice maker. The owner seems very nice and was apologetic, and lives a distance away, but there was no satisfactory resolution offered.

This was a excellent house for a large group - big rooms and plenty of bathrooms. We had lots of room to spread out and the location is stunning. It's outside the hustle and bustle of the busy traffic areas around Gulf Shores, and being able to just walk across the street to get to the beach is a dream. The kitchen had an impressive amount of dinnerware and supplies for making dinner for a large group.Our very nice host was responsive and informative. We will consider renting here again!

Great Place for a Gathering of Friends

We enjoyed gathering with college friends at the Beach Castle. This was our 6th time getting together and this home was perfect. The spacious bedrooms with privates baths along with the large dining table were just what we needed (The 3 refrigerators, 2 laundry rooms, 2 kitchens exceeded our expectations!) Laura, the owner, was very easy to work with and responded quickly to all of my questions. The home is across the street from the beach, but the views from the house are good. October Was a wonderful time to go to the beach.

Great vacation house for a big family!

Plenty of rooms for everyone! We stayed here with our kids and nine grandkids (ages 8 - two infants) & had a wonderful time! Each bedroom has its own bathroom and there are half baths in each laundry room. The description is accurate- you are steps from the beach & two pools! The beach was beautiful and not crowded. The kitchens had everything we needed. And, Laura was always quick with communication. We’ve already booked for next summer!

Labor Day Family Time

We had the most amazing stay in the Beach Castle. We had 13 family members. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom, which makes a vacation even more spectacular! The house was so spacious, two living rooms, and two dining rooms and two kitchens. The kitchen was full of every cooking item that you can possibly need. The multiple balconies were one of our favorite things. The area is very family oriented and we even got to meet several very friendly neighbors. The walk to the beach is super quick and convenient. We will definitely be returning to the Beach Castle.

Great family house

Loved how big the house was and that we all had our own bathrooms. It was great that there was a washer and dryer upstairs and downstairs. The house was big enough that we could all gather together but also have our privacy. The beach and pool was pretty much empty the whole time. . So peaceful and quiet in the neighborhood.
