Gulf Shores Family Vacation

Property was as marketed, down to chairs on the beach. Very clean and well maintained. Away from the busier areas of Gulf Shores but still easy access to dining, etc. Would very much like to go back in future.

Great family house

The house is great! The pool was a must with kids. The beach was great but the weather wasnt the best so we stayed by the pool.. We would stay again. The only complaint is the soap(hand,dish,laundry) and toilet paper we in short supply. The house was very clean and they had a kitchen full of utensils, with plenty of cups and dishes.

So Very Good, We will be returning!

The property was not ready until a little after 4 pm; however, once we were in and put out of the way all the pretty pieces that were breakable, it was fantastic! The beds were comfortable, the home was fully stocked in the kitchen, had refrigerator space for extra drinks, ice and more! Everything was great! We loved it and had a great time at this home and location, the weather didn’t completely cooperate but it’s the weather! We will be returning to this location for sure! Thank you so much, great place, great location, great fun and loads of memories!

Fun in the sun

Overall, a fantastic and beautiful home. Rental agency needs to fix a few appliance issues. Plenty of room for the 11 of us - from 88 to 2 years old. Loved having our own pool. The kids hardly ever came out of it. Would highly recommended this home.
