This rental was perfect for two people and in the perfect location. We walked to the beach in minutes. We walked several trails in Gulf Shores State Park. The porch was awesome so we enjoyed several meals out on the porch. We plan on renting the same property again!

Great location and the house was very clean. The mattresses were not really comfortable, and I would suggest better quality toilet paper. Even the state park near by had better TP.

Long Weekend Getaway

This property is conveniently located and as listed is easy walking distance beach access. It was the perfect space for 2 couples. The large covered porch is an added bonus for when the weather isn’t ideal or just to relax on. Overall cleanliness of the property was excellent upon arrival. It would be helpful for there to be a small broom provided on property to clean any sand that’s tracked inside the throughout the stay.
