We had no issues during our stay. We liked the house so much we will be booking it again for next summer. Highly recommend.

Gulf Shores Vacation

We had a great time. The house was clean and ready to go when we arrived. Location was within 5-10 min to all the activities we wanted to do. Separate ice maker was a great addition for the kitchen for making up coolers to go down to the beach. Would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Beach View

This was a wonderful place for us to stay. Loved the back porch and the furniture. Just wished there was a grill for use. Only issue was our 83 year old mother was unable to be comfortable on the furniture due to the sits being deep and worn out.

Loved Sand Trap!

This was the perfect place for our fam of 6 adults and 4 kids. The high top table and chairs on the deck was a particular favorite for hanging outside and staring at the ocean. The personal boardwalk to the beach was convenient, kitchen was well stocked, and beds were comfortable. The place was cozy and perfect.

All the comforts of home!

We have stayed at the Sand Trap several different years & always were very satisfied. My husband, who passed away a year ago, loved setting on the deck while the rest of us were in the water. In fact, we took some of his ashes & sprinkled them in the sand. He would be so happy.

You really can't beat this property! We loved the views , plenty of room, the kitchen was well stocked with supplies, and my husband loved the paved driveway! (he rides his bicycle a lot while we are there so sandy driveways are not good !!)

Sand Trap👍

We had a beautiful week. This is our 2nd time at Sand Trap and the house is wonderful…sitting out on the porch looking at the Gulf was so special…loved that the large porch is half covered, made sitting out anytime great. We’d highly recommend!!
