This was our first VRBO experience and we were not disappointed. I didn’t want to be in a high rise and this was a great find. Literally just a few steps from the beach and parking directly beneath the unit - easy in and easy out. The owner responded almost immediately to all of my inquiries and even assisted us with locating extra parking for family that visited for an afternoon.
Keep your expectations realistic - the property is obviously a bit older, but the overall feel is a bit charming and this specific unit was clean and stocked with all we needed. I deducted one star for accuracy of listing only because the photos make it seem larger than it actually is - but in all fairness I feel that nearly all listings use similar photography these days. The bedrooms are small with just enough room to sleep comfortably - but tough for the extra space that luggage takes up. It was just myself and the hubby, so we slept in one and kept our bags in the other😁. The bathroom is similarly small - but again, clean and functional.
We had some rainy and cold weather and thus found ourselves stuck inside for a bit - so I feel the need to mention that it may be time to replace the sofa sleeper, it’s definitely seen more comfortable days as a sofa (can’t speak regarding the sleeper aspect).
We stayed in November and we found it quiet - but I can’t speak to how it is during the busy season. All in all, this was a great value on the beach in Gulf Shores and would recommend!
