Great, great property. Convenient location, close to everything in a gated community. Home was clean with all the amenities you could ask for, including kayaks and a grill. TV's in every room worked great with kids. We had no complaints at all with the property. Now, here is why I lowered the review by one star. Asking guests to strip the beds and pillowcases is not a good practice,AND when you charge a 335 cleaning fee, it is unreasonable to ask your guests to do the housekeeping. I believe that for a 335 cleaning fee, you should be able to walk out just like a hotel, without bagging trash, gathering towels and stripping beds. That's just my input.Bottom line. The home is great, plentiful amenities and you will love your time there.

Wright family vacation

The house is absolutely amazing!!! Pictures are fantastic but seeing it in real life is captivating. All the main rooms are on the bottom floor and the master living and kitchen with a separate entertainment room is on the second floor. The home is clean, cold, spacious, and in a gated community. It has a pier to fish off of, a swimming pool, and close to all the eateries and beach. The neighborhood was very quiet and nice and private. If you're looking for security and have little ones perfect place to book. Eric, our host was wonderful and answered any of our questions that we had. The house comes fully stocked with anything that you would need for your stay. Dishes. Cookware, a grill, kayaks, chairs, toilet paper, towels, trash bags, Saran wrap, aluminum foil etc. Etc. Also multiple balconies that you can just chill on. A main balcony in the front and two in the back upstairs and downstairs. We parasailed while we were there and booked a dolphin cruise... Our teenagers enjoyed both excursions. We also had a send off dinner at Fora-bama. It was super packed and the wait was an hour and a half. If you want to visit there, you might want to go during less peak times. It was very hot and humid during our stay and our last day at tropical depression rolled in and cooled everything off. We had the absolute best time and I'm so happy that we were able to visit Alabama Gulf shores. This was a celebration for my mother's double transplant that she received 18 months ago.

House was spotless! We enjoyed the property-close to Orange beach shopping. House is well stocked with basics. While beach is technically walking distance, you do have to cross a very busy street to get to it. There is public parking less than a mile a way for 10/day. Easy check out.

Vacation/softball trip

We absolutely loved our ur stay on Mariner Circle. We loved being close to the beach and entertainment, while still able to retreat to a quiet place once the day was done. The family took advantage of the pool and tennis courts that were close by and my personal favorite was the built in ice maker. We were able to fill our coolers and not go to the gas station for ice. We would definitely stay again!!

Great House

Host was very helpful, the beach here is a great place to watch fireworks on July 4th, crossing 5 lanes of busy traffic with kids can be challenging, and the Palm across the street which is your designated beach access will not let you unload in their lot, but there is a public access just down the road if you want to drive and unload and park your chairs there, house was very accommodating for the 3 families we had staying there, kitchen was more than stocked with everything we needed to cook all our meals. Loved having the 2 car garage for parking and leaving all sandy beach items. Lots of porches to enjoy, quiet neighborhood. Beautiful beaches. Clean home.

Fabulous home away from home

This home is beautiful. Perfect floor plan. Plenty of space. The outdoor decks are very nice for a quiet retreat. Kitchen is well stocked with an ice maker as an added bonus. Short distances to the beach although crossing the main road on foot with beach gear is a little treacherous. Easier to go to the beach access and park. We did not use the kayaks as we did not have a way to transport and was not an easy area for us to put in the water. Perfect distance to dining, The Wharf, Gulf Shores and shopping. Loved the area and the peacefulness. Would rent this house again. Thank you for the quick response and hospitality.

Beautiful and clean home in a quiet small neighborhood

If you are looking for a place to stay for your family this is the place. I am very picky when it comes to finding a place for my family to enjoy and feel comfortable for a week at the beach. This house was perfect. The house is immaculate and the beds are comfortable. The balconies are nice for quiet time in the morning. We used the public beach access a short drive down the road and it was easy to enjoy a day at the beach. My husband and daughter took the kayaks out one morning. Eric was very helpful and quick to answer any of our questions. Everyone in the neighborhood was friendly. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone.

This holiday home was perfect for us to visit from the UK and meet together with some of our family now living near Atlanta.

Situated in a great location with the Beach on one side and Cotton Bayou on the other, then it's perfect for all your holiday needs.

So close to beach in a perfect area for all local, restaurants, seafood music, etc.. I would definitely stay here over and over again.
