Perfect Place to stay in Gulf Shores

Playa Paradise Retreat is top-notch. The home is very clean, well appointed, beautifully decorated, comfortable, and in the perfect location. It is a very short walk to the beach. There are Lifeguards on duty close by the access point to the beach, which was great! The pool was a great bonus to relax in. The games were awesome for the kids, and the home is very kid-friendly. It is located close by a lot of good places to eat, the West Beach Coffee House is a must! The Dizzy Turtle Latte was a perfect start to a perfect stay! Kristi is very easy to communicate with and responded very quickly to our questions. Will definitely stay there again!

Great Beach vacation house stocked with lots of beach stuff!!!!

Such a great house and lots of attention to detail. An easy walk to the beach, a small convenience store, the lagoon, and a great restaurant! The rooms were perfect - large comfy king sized beds with separate bathrooms plus one room with bunkbeds; multiple outside deck areas include ones off some of the bedrooms. The living room was large with more seating than we needed for our 6 adults. The dining table had seating for 8 and was perfect for eating and playing games. Kitchen was fully stocked with appliances, plates, etc and they included plenty of bathtowels for a week! Loved all the things for the beach -- the wagon, the net, the chairs, the umbrellas. My guys used the paddleboards on the lagoon and had fun. Thank you so much for hosting us! Hope we can come back next year!

Great Location!

Property was very clean and comfortable! Starter toiletries and kitchen items, so will need to buy what you need after that. Host quickly responded to all of our questions. Beach items were very convenient so we didn’t need to bring much ourselves! 5 min walk to the beach. Popular public beach, so get there early if you want a close spot. 4 legged tents/canopies have to go at the back of beach area. Paddle boards were fun to take out on the lagoon- they are a bit heavy, 2 adults could carry to the put in location about 5 minute walk, but we ended up driving them down.

2 summer to stay!

We absolutely fell in love with our first stay here last summer and now to come back and stay again truly made a place in our core memory bank. Our children always have enough room to run around as well as the comfortable environment to nap on their schedule. We love that the home is always so clean, accommodates our family meal time and the community pool below helps keep the kiddos busy after a Long Beach day when they aren’t ready to come in just yet. Fantastic property and great management. Count on us to continue to return each year!

Enjoyed the stay!

The property was perfect for a quick family beach “ attitude adjustment “. Spacious and tastefully decorated, our group of 7 had everything we needed for a couple of days of relaxation. The beds we’re comfortable, Wi-Fi worked great and everyone with their own bathroom was an added bonus. A short 10 minute walk to the beach. We would definitely book again.

Great family vacation at this VRBO

We really enjoyed our family stay and vacation at this VRBO. The house was very clean, convenient to the beach, lagoon and a strip shopping center with store and restaurants. Plenty of beach accessories are at the unit including a wagon, cooler and umbrellas. There were even 2 stand up paddle boards for the lagoon! The owner was helpful and very responsive to any questions during our stay. We look forward to coming back again and enjoy another relaxing week at Gulf Shores in the future.

Slow Mocean was clean and new!

My husband and I stayed here with our 5 year old and one year old, my parents, and my grandmother. It was a great fit for us! The house is very clean and modern. Every room had a bathroom and nice tv. Kitchen was nice and open. Because of having small children and my grandmother with us we drove to the beach very easily and parked at public beach access which is right around the corner from the condo. Would’ve been an easy walk if we didn’t have kids. The beach closet is very nice to utilize. They had beach chairs, toys, wagon, paddle boards, umbrellas, boogie boards, etc. We didn’t use the paddle boards but was nice to have available if you wanted to use them. You are also right around the corner from waves convenient store, ice cream, and beach house restaurants. Could’ve easily walked to any of those. My son really enjoyed the arcade in the bunk room. We easily put a pack n play up for our 1 year old. It could’ve easily fit in any of the rooms. Very nice overall!!

Our family loved staying at this property. It is beautifully decorated which made everyone feel at home. A nice feature was that each couple had their own bathroom. Additionally, the availability of the beach chairs, umbrella, and wagon were an extra bonus. Thus was the perfect place for our stay at Gulf Shores! I highly recommend this home away from home!!

Absolutely perfect!

Wow! Absolutely amazing! We walked in and were simply blown away by the property. Such beauty mixed with functionality! Perfect for 2 families to vacation together. A little longer to the beach but worth the walk which was made easier by the host providing a sand wagon plus anything you need for a day at the beach like beach chairs, sand toys. All the comforts of home away from home. Highly recommended, walking/driving distance to so many activities, very responsivehost. Fabulous way to spend our week! My only negative is that we all wished the rooms had room darkening curtains as the sun comes up early and brightens the entire home with it's light. Otherwise, nothing but positives!
