Great spot for a Gulf Shores visit with kids and pets
We booked this spot for a long weekend so that we could meet up with family having a longer stay nearby. We visit the area often and don't normally bring our dog since the beaches aren't dog-friendly, but since our family wanted to see her she joined for this trip.
The little apartment on the back of the larger house was just the right size for my spouse, our child and me. The entrance being on the back side of the house gives it a quieter feel than being on the main road, and the street along Little Lagoon was a good spot for dog walking. The quieter street there has generous side lanes for bikes and pedestrians and even had some pet litter stations.
Public beach access is an easy walk directly across the street and there were some restaurants and stores within walking distance.
The unit and furnishings were cheerfully decorated and functional. One of the deck chairs was broken and the property manager called us to let us know before we had a chance to call her. The previous tenants had reported it after their checkout but not before the staff had already done the housekeeping changeover for our stay.
While the spot wasn't luxurious, it was very functional and quiet for a spot right on the beach, and we appreciated the host for offering pet-friendly accomodations. While traveling with a dog and a child who loves to play on the beach, the functional and sturdy accomodations were just what we needed.

Plum cute review
Average stay. The information on website is misleading. Apt. is facing away from the beach in the back of the building so no view. Needs updated and some new paint, also new matress, bigger TV, a plug was broke off in socket. No extra garbage bags. And extra blankets linens need replaced. Overall not bad just not as nice as it could be.

Short walk
Very short walk to the beach was really nice. Place could’ve been cleaned a little better IMO. Some of the patio furniture needs to be repaired or replaced

Needs Some TLC- Good Cleaning
Overall the unit wasn't too bad. The location to the public access pier is very close and was a convenient walk to the beach. The bed and accompanying frame needs to be replaced. The mattress is worn out as you sink into it when sitting on it. The frame itself is so loud that a deep breath will wake you, an exaggeration but it's squeaky and loud. All of the utensils had to be hand washed before use as they along with other food utensils had dried, caked on food. The utensil holder in the drawer had to be cleaned as well due to old food particles inside. While we truly appreciate the unit being dog friendly the pet fee and cleaning fee should be refunded. The dog hair hair and dust are caked on the baseboards throughout the unit. I know its impossible to get all of the hair between bookings but what I'm referring to has been there quite some time. The drainage pipe for the air conditioner drips directly onto the back porch keeping a section of the porch in a constant state wetness. We placed a pitcher underneath to try and keep if from splashing which then had to be emptied several times a day. What doesn't stay on the porch drips between the slats to the carport underneath. Seems like it could be routed away from dripping on the porch. We experienced some rain while there so we utilized the TVs more than usual. The 32 inch tv in the den is too small for the space. Had to get up and walk over to read the guide for the channels. Not a huge detraction but still frustrating. The 32 inch tv in the bedroom seems like it was large enough for the space. Undecided if I would book again...maybe in a last minute situation.
