We had the most perfect stay! The size of the house was just perfect for our family and our pets. The balcony was a plus for the dogs, they enjoyed a lot of outside time ! Location is perfect as well, just a few steps from the beach access. There were enough linens and towels for everyone, kitchen had everything we needed! Pam was very quick to answer and very accommodating to our needs. We would definitely come back !

This was a very nice place to stay. The pictures didn’t quite match what we got. For example, there was no pretty bedspread in the main bedroom. It was a big fur like blanket that had a horrible smell. Some of the wall hangings and furniture listed in the photos were not there, such as the mirror and some patio furniture. A little pricey, considering houses near were a bit cheaper.

Excellent Property

We stayed at this property for a full week and couldnt have been happier. It is a tad smaller than i initially thought but that didnt make a difference. With 4 adults and 2 young children we still had plenty of room. Everything was really nice and updated with except the couches but that didnt bother us. Beach access was within 30 yards which was nice and house is close enough you can hear the waves from the deck. Below the house is a nice outdoor shower and lots of new beach chairs and boogie boards for the kids. We loved this place and im sure you will too.

Peaceful, Easy Feeling

This property is in a quiet neighborhood and a beautiful location. There was very minimal traffic or sounds from neighbors. The ocean is visible from the deck of this home and the beach was never crowded. I highly recommend this home and will be looking forward to my next stay here.

Spring break trip

It was a wonderful home. This was our first trip to Gulf Shores. The neighborhood is very quiet and private. You are definitely about 50 feet to the ocean from the house. The only thing that I would say is to equip the house with good cleaning supplies and a sturdy vacuum. It’s almost Impossible to keep the sand out of the house. The only supplies provided was a broom, dust pan, and a very old small dirt devil vacuum. It was simply not up to the task. Definitely bring dish soap, scrub pad, and laundry detergent, as well as countertop cleaner to keep the house clean during your stay because it was not provided as well.Everything else was fabulous and exactly as advertised.

Nice home. Easy access to the beach! Loved the front porch! Great porch for dog to enjoy also. Neither hairdryers worked. Possibly blown fuses in both bathrooms. No reset buttons on either outlet. Overall it was an enjoyable relaxing time!

Nice bright clean property, super close to beach access. Had most of what you would need but some storage containers for the kitchen would be nice. This was a group of 50 and over and we all loved the house! The area under the house was wonderful for our seafood boil! Would stay again!

Spring break with Family dog

We chose this location because they allow medium size dogs. We have s Golden Retriever. The location was great 3 houses down from ocean access. We could see the ocean and part of the bay from the porches. The porch has a great area for laying out and a gate so your pet can sit outside with you. It has a nice area below with sitting area and a porch swing. Great shower on lower area to get all that sand off. They provided beach chairs and boards for your convenience. The kitchen is well setup and has a separate ice machine. Love the decorative design of the house.

Memories are made in Flip Flops at Be as You Are Beach House!

Yes memories are made in Flip Flops and booking the Be as Your Are Beach House made those memories more meaningful. The interior was absolutely beautiful and it was so well equipped for all our cooking needs - loved the pots and pans they were top notch. The added ice maker was put to good use and was a nice addition .The upstairs deck, the swing and chairs and picnic table on the lower level made for lots of fun and laughter. The enclosed outside shower was an extra bonus with the kiddos. The view from the house was wonderful we could see the gulf from the front and the bay from the back. We were a party of seven, three generations and our beloved pup and there was plenty of room for everyone. It was just a hop to the beach which was awesome so if we need or forgot anything we did not have to pack up to go back to the house to retrieve it. We loved the fact that there was several great restaurants with in minutes for our seafood fix, we did dine in and take out. The communication was great and instructions clear. We definitely recommend Be as You Are Beach House for you, your family and furry family member - book it -remember Memories are made in Flip Flops at Be as You Are Beach House!

Relaxation Needed

Nice home. Had everything needed. Very clean.There were only 2 of us so we had plenty of space, but may be a little tight for a larger family. We loved lying in the sun on the deck. We could see and hear the ocean and being up high, there was a nice breeze. Loved not dragging chairs and all to the beach every day, but it was so close I walked on the beach every morning. Hope to visit again next year.
