Really cute property close to beach
We had a wonderful time at Gulf Shores. We took the kids to the beach nearby and really enjoyed the property and all the amenities. The host was really communicative and clearly wants all guests to have a great stay. I would definitely come again.

Overall a great stay and a nice house
Pros: The neighborhood was beautiful! The house is one of the furthest from the beach in the neighborhood, but still an overall great location and short walk. The shuttle bus was helpful at times as well. We rented bikes and it was nice to have a bike rack available at the beach access area. The beach was gorgeous and not crowded at all, which was the best thing! Having a private, heated pool was great too. Cons: The property is one of the older properties in the neighborhood and it showed in needing some improvements for things that have experienced wear and tear. The bugs were pretty bad, biting everyone if we stepped outside at all near dusk or after. It would have been great to have a fully screened enclosure to sit outside more (they have screens, but some are missing and the rest are damaged enough for the bugs to find their way in). Definitely take and use repellent!
