Amazing stay, location is 5 stars

Love the property. Super cute and clean and just as advertised. Beds were very comfortable. Loved the decor and the setup was great. Loved that the beach was so accessible, and being next to the state park meant it was not super crowded. Be prepared to walk through the sand, we definitely got our workout in but it was so worth it! Would stay again in a heartbeat and hated to leave.

Gulf Shores Trip!

We had a blast! This condo was awesome. The beds are extremely comfortable and so are the couches. I usually hate staying in hotels/condos because we have to sleep on rock hard beds, not this place. They made the trip so much more enjoyable lol the condo itself was really nice, it’s modern and clean, it was set up perfectly for our family. My only negative thing to say (and it’s not the fault of the condo owners), they have what I guess is the “normal” walk to the beach closed due to construction. So the walk to the beach across the road is absolutely miserable. Especially with young kids and wagons full of stuff. It’s like a half mile of nothing but pure sand that you sink to your ankles in. That was the only thing that I can honestly say was the most “un-enjoyable” part of the condo. Besides that when they open the beach walk again I would 100% stay in this unit again. The owners are extremely nice and communicate very well!

The perfect Gulf Shore Stay

This was our first time to Gulf Shores and we will definitely be back, not only to Gulf Shores, but here! It was just as beautiful as the pictures, had everything you would need to a stay and was literally a short walk across the street to the beach! And the best part is that you could feel the love there. We are honored to be part of something so special and help to make this a healing place for others. Thank you for hosting us!

Cleanliness was immaculate. We have stayed in many properties through past 20 years. This exceeded all. We chose to support the purpose after finding it in proximity to pier. I was constantly aware of Rhys & his life and it grounded me & restored me.

We loved our time here, the condo had everything we needed.

We loved our time at Rhys’s place, knowing our stay allows a family that’s lost a child stay free is such a great feeling. The condo is decorated beautifully, love the beach theme throughout. Everything we needed was available, including beach items so we didn’t have to bring them from home. The owners were great, answering any questions working minutes it seemed.
