Just Perfect

This is our 2nd year staying in this house and we couldn't be happier. The accomodations are excellent and the house is always up to date with any changes. The house is clean, neat and has everything you might need from the kitchen to the beach. My family loves this place. We look forward to coming back and staying here. The owners are outstanding and easy to work with. You will not be disappointed in this place. Best place in Gulf Shores!

Great stay in Gulf Shores

We were really happy with this Duplex in Gulf Shores. It was very nicely furnished but casual enough that you felt at home. Communications with the owner that were provided without having to ask were great, we had all the information in front of us BEFORE we got to the beach. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen was more than adequately stocked with dishes, pots and pans and utensils. One of the things we enjoyed the most was the sitting area under the structure. We were out of the sun and a soft breeze was usually blowing that made it a great spot for the kids to keep playing while the adults relaxed. Convenient and easy to get to, ten minutes to Walmart and many other places of interest. Would gladly stay there again!

Loved this place!

Can’t say enough good things about it! Our family rented both sides of the Duplex. Comfortable furniture inside, on deck & under the house. It has great beach access right out the back door…perfect for the 3 generations that enjoyed the stay! Loved that the kids could easily access dry sandy play area under the house, even during short rain storms. Location on beach is wonderful, not crowded at all. Equipped with everything we needed & more. We will be back ! Tina was a pleasure to work with

Your search is over!!

No need to keep looking this is your spot! The beach is literally 90 steps from the back porch (we counted lol) you cannot beat that! Being able to just run back up to the house if anyone needs anything beats packing tons of stuff to take with you because you can't just leave really quick.. the house has literally everything you could need. There's a cooler, BBQ pit, beach canopy, toys, umbrellas, chairs, etc. We cooked at home every night. The location on the beach is not busy what so ever! If you do drive places you will deal with traffic so I'd suggest hitting a grocery store then staying put! If you do leave I'd suggest Alligator Alley it's worth the drive! This is the house we will stay in from now on! Linda is absolutely wonderful and super easy to communicate with. Got to sit on the beach and watch fireworks for the 4th of July which was awesome.

1st winter visit

Of course I’d chose the week that the entire nation was colder than usual but we still enjoyed a few days of sunshine on the deck and walks on the beach and even toes in the surf. House was perfect for the four of us and in a convenient location to stores and restaurants. My only suggest as part of a senior group would be grab bars in the bathrooms. Thanks for a good break from Illinois subzero temps!

Perfect location for a relaxing vacation with friends and family

Location is definitely the highlight of this rental! Traveling with 3 kids under the age of 10 meant lots of beach time and the adults appreciated that we didn’t need to be at the beach the entire time the kids wanted to be there. We loved seeing dolphins surfacing (and even sometimes jumping) each day of our stay. The beach was calm and I crowded for our December stay. And our host was very helpful with the one (completely unavoidable) issue we encountered.

Last minute get away.

The property is well situated on the main road. Right on the beach. the dune in front of the deck does not block your view of the ocean but blocks people on the beach so you have added privacy. The owners happened to be using the unit next door (the other half of the house) and were so nice, we got lots of pointers on the area. Loved it.

Girls weekend

We had a wonderful time at your beach house. Access to beach items such as chairs and umbrellas was very helpful. We would have liked to have sheets for the fold out couch (I could have missed that in the listing), but the one on the mattress was soiled, so we were not able to use that bed. Overall wonderful time and stay!

Wonderful

We typically stay in the hotel/resort setting, even through Vrbo. We won’t be doing that anymore. Tina’s place sold us on staying here and it’s is the perfect place for our family of 5. My teenage boys loved it and said several times how much they enjoyed our vacation. I have told many many folks back at home how great it was. I would very much recommend staying here and will be doing so again when we make our way back to Gulf Shores.

Great communication

The communication with the owner was top notch. She sent an extremely detailed check in note as well as a day of text and responded to emails and texts immediately. The place was overall clean upon check in. The property was exactly as described. We booked both sides of the property and had plenty of room for me and my husband, our adult children, a nephew, my parents and my aunt and some extra littles. We had a great time and spent most of our time on the beach or on the great deck. Great location!! We loved being right on the beach.

Very basic

Overall my family enjoyed our stay. We always love being in Gulf shores. This was the 1st time renting a house and it was nice to actually be able to walk right out the back door straight to the beach. The owners were super nice and accommodating as well. The house did not look to be newly renovated, everything in there looked outdated. Floors in the livingroom were sinking a bit as well. During our stay, we had very loud neighbors...so that was a bummer.
