Perfect Place
Have been coming to Gulf Shores for 30+ years - usually once in summer staying on beach and once in fall staying in house. Have stayed in this neighborhood many times using different rentals and this one beats them all!! What a great property for larger group, or even multiple families. Highly recommend!!

Best Vacation this year...
My family have been on several vacations this year and this by fat was the Absolutely best one yet. The house was clean had all the amenities we needed. It was spacious and very modern and up to date. The Beach was literally less then 40 yards away.. It made us feel as if we was on our own private island.. We will definitely be staying in this area again...Thanks for the Great Hospitality...
