Gulf Shores has everything you need to slip right into the coastal lifestyle, especially when you make this fantastic retreat home for a while! Mar Tortuga is anything but your average getaway, as you will be spoiled in no time with the spacious interior, central location, and easy access to the sugar-white sand of the gulf. As soon as you step foot inside, you will see that this home is more than ready to assist in entertaining the whole family with ease. Hop into the luxurious full kitchen and take advantage of the stainless steel appliances, ample cookware, stunning countertops, and dishwasher to show off your cooking skills with ease. The rest of the gang will love hanging out in the living room with a movie playing on the flatscreen TV or at the dining table for a game night.
When the sun starts to go down, bring a cocktail out to the furnished deck and watch the pink and orange haze of sunset disappear. A long walk on the dan is never a bad idea either, as you have direct beach access from the back door! This is a truly unique coastal getaway, so book your stay while it lasts!

Dirty and broken appliances
Beautiful property. When we checked in though there were probably 40 dead flies in the windowsill in the downstairs bedroom. I cleaned it!
Air vent at the top of the stairs was extremely dirty with probably a half an inch of dust on it. I sent pictures to vacasa with no response. TV did not work in the downstairs bedroom at all. Coffee maker broke( the warmer plate stopped working) so we went out and bought a new coffee maker for the property, messaged Vacasa 3 or 4 times with no response.
The local Vacasa has not responded to any of our messages, they have not done anything to make this right. Very disappointed after reading the great reviews! Also disappointing that the only downstairs bedroom has no working television when it is advertised that there is one is very disappointing!
