About this property

Quaint waterfront home with private decks, great views, and AC - near the beach

  • Summary:

    Beach Haven Gulf Shores



    The Space:

    Nothing truly says 'vacation' like a getaway to the beach. Book your stay at this waterfront home situated less than a mile from The Hangout while avoiding the clamor of larger complexes. You'll only be 400 yards from taking a dip in the Gulf of Mexico's warm, emerald waters.



    Enjoy incredible waterfront views from both private decks. When you're ready to get active, fish off the private dock with direct access to Little Lagoon. Bring your watercraft to launch on the water or rent a kayak or paddleboard, just steps away from the house.



    This charming three-bedroom has plenty of space for your group to spread out and even boasts a sunroom. The roomy living area is a great place to relax after spending the day at the beach or shopping downtown. It features a TV with cable for entertaining evenings at home, as do all the bedrooms. The kitchen is well-equipped with appliances and cookware, so cooking will be a breeze once you stock the fridge.



    THINGS TO KNOW

    There is a queen-size sofa bed in the living area.

    One flight of stairs is required to enter this home.

Beach vacation

Excellent location walking distance to the beach. We had a group of 11 and there was plenty of space. The only recommendations for Vacasa I have is that they could stock some trash bags and laundry detergent pods and the upstairs bathroom shower door is a little broken. In general the house is beautiful, clean and great location. Having an outdoor shower area (in addition to 2 indoor showers) was really nice to wash off the sand and salt water. Also, internet was great and we watched movies at night on really nice tv

Great spot!

The property was excellent! The kids enjoyed hanging out on the dock and in the bunk bed room. The beach was a short walk away, and we visited the corner store (pier 33) twice a day! Will returna

Great house

Exactly as advertised. Clean and well-appointed, perhaps with the exception of toilet paper. Great view off back decks. There used to be direct beach access directly across the main drag, but due to property development, the beach is now an extra block away for public access. Overall great experience.

Perfect family beach get-away

We loved the lay-out and simplicity of this house. We stayed with our family and my brothers family including 4 adults and 6 children under 6yrs old. This house works great for two family units with seperate bedrooms and a open-floor plan for being together during meals etc… the decks overlooking the lagoon were also lovely. The house was very clean and we had everything we needed for cooking meals. The only hick-up was sone maintenance issues with the dishwasher, which was responded to promptly. The short walk to the beach and convenient grocery store down the street was also very nice.

Decent

It was a great location, just had a few issues. The dock/pier had a missing board in the middle that didn’t get fixed until our last day. The upstairs shower door was broken. The layout online is sort of misleading. Location was good thoigh.

40th Anniversary Family Fun in the Sun

The house was in a perfect location- plenty of space- kitchen was especially accommodating. The dock off the back, the frequent singing birds and heron visitors were magical. Location to the beach was a brief walk. Pier 33 market very convenient (awesome cold brew enjoyed by the coffee snobs in our group). House was clean and the toiletry items were fine. Plenty of seating. Plenty of towels (we still brought our own for fear of not having enough!) We did have a bit of difficulty getting into the property at 4 pm and the phone number (Vacasa) for emergencies and general calls was NEVER answered. We finally got in around 4:20 pm. While the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and serving pieces, (thankfully) we brought our own paper goods, plastic wrap, foil, baggies - but had to buy coffee filters. There were paper towels (we also brought some). We were told (via communication with the Vacasa management) that there was a community pool 3 miles away from the property. We discovered that this was NOT the case. The local Vacasa folks told us that the stated amenities did not include a pool. It was disappointing to discover this once we were there. The A/C was set on COLD 24/7. We attempted to adjust it just a bit and were unsuccessful. It was COLD, like sweatshirt weather inside. We couldn't find the pullout sofa linens and had to wing it the first night. Mgmt brought them the next day. The pull out sofa in the great room is busted and was not useable. The 10 year old slept in the sun room - perfect set up for him! Overall, Beach Haven was perfect for 3 families: 6 adults, 1 - 10 year old, one infant and 2 toddlers. Plenty of space to eat, spread out, quiet space if desired. We also liked that the house wasn't overly decorated - we've stayed at homes where the decorations were beautiful but not kid friendly! An added bonus - the wifi and tv's in every room was nice - and the streaming options. Some directions would have been helpful for us techno-deficient older adults. None of us have been to Gulf Shores and we wished we had more time to explore the parks and culture. We had two beautiful sunny days and then violent rain the last two days. Sorry for the length of this but we would recommend this place to other visitors. Thanks for a memorable 40th wedding anniversary!
