Fabulous stay!

There's nothing not to LOVE about this property and its location. There was ample space for our group of 13 and the location is a 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach. The kitchen is stocked above and beyond, SO many beach toys, outdoor shower, very nice pool, and great area to explore. We hope to return!

Great Location with direct Beach Access

We stayed in Unit 6 in this quiet neighborhood. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the unit very clean and well kept. Highly Recommend. Host was prompt with questions we had and responded almost immediately. We were here in start of November 2023. Would have liked to had a heated pool. It was a little bit nippy. 😂 Thank you

Space and Location Good

Condo good size for large group. We had three couples and easily could have held 4 kids. Floors could have been better swept and towels and sheets older with stains, but overall fine for our needs. As older couples, we like to sit on patio with our coffee in mornings, patio furniture inadequate for that purpose. Location to beach very close and made it in and out to shrimp festival with ease. Storage while we did not use, had toys, chairs, wagons and great parking under condo. All other renter were very friendly. Pool ok but weather to cold for use. Would recommend for younger couples with kids for easy access to beach. Just need updates to sheets, towels and outdoor furniture.

Perfect location for the beach

The house is directly across the road from the beach access and we never had trouble finding our own area to spread out in. ( We had 10 people) The pool was perfect to wind down in after a day at the beach. The house had plenty of room for all of us and we never felt cramped. Our only concern was there is no door in the “bunk room”. All in all it was the perfect house for us

Beach?

We enjoyed ourselves BUT I was under the impression we would be able to see the beach so that was disappointing...sure if you stand on the balcony and tilt your head to the right to look between 2 buildings you could kinda see the beach Not good for people that have a hard time with stairs ... lesson now learned

This home was an attached unit. Shared pool and about 100 yards to the 13th street beach access. Great home with good amenities. Outdoor shower is a life saver. Get most of the sand off outside. Spacious home gave our family of 12 plenty of space We would definitely book this property again !! ❤️

Family & Friends Getaway

Gulf shores is a beautiful place with beautiful beaches. The property we stayed at had a good location and proximity to the beach. For the most part it had everything we needed as far as space - my only complaint was not enough towels for us to take a shower. We reserved it for 16 people and the unit holds 17 which was perfect. I would have liked to have known we would need to buy towels prior to coming and also would have liked to be reminded that we would also need to buy more basics before arriving like toilet paper- dish soap - hand soap and laundry detergent if there were not going to be enough to even het us started. We did go to wal mart to buy all of this which was also super low on all items. I just would have gotten it prior to coming had I known we wouldn’t have much when we arrived. Overall it was a great place to stay - plenty of kitchen tools and beach amenities.
