Perfect beach access
Loved the location! The house was perfect for all of us! We have 5 children plus spouses and 5 grandchildren and it fit all of us comfortably. Loved the pool as well! There was usually some of us at the beach and some at the house which made it easy for the grandchildren to walk back and forth as needed! Felt very comfortable with them using the boardwalk to go to and from the beach! And basically had our own private beach area!!

Fantastic Beach House!
We have been to Gulf Shores many times, always staying in a VRBO. We normally travel with our children and a few of their friends-about 12 people on average, current ages are 12-28 plus my husband and I. This house was the overall favorite of the group. As with all things, there are pros and cons to everything. The cons here were slight. The pros, it was very close to all town activities AND, it was a short walk down the private path to the beach. The pool was heated and warm when we arrived (March vacation needs the pool heater). The elevator gave us the ability to NOT have to help the children carry their items up, haha! The best part, everyone slept well because the house was quiet. Sounds crazy, but with a house full of people you are normally bothered by all of the sounds. Not here (minus Lead Foot Larry that was rooming above the master...aka, my teens)! It was beautifully decorated and totally comfortable. The rental company was very easy to communicate with and they were totally responsive to all questions, issues or concerns (none with the house, just booking issue on my end). Overall, 10 stars all around. We had a wonderful vacation.
