It was a very nice property.There was a few ants in the kitchen and they had a new refrigerator delivered on the 1st full day.I was there, so I had to be in the house for a little while.For that which was a bummer. Overall the location was really great and it was pretty quiet being that close to the street. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Rental but lacking detailed cleaning & fast communication

Our family really enjoyed our stay at the property. The location is great & having 2 fridges was really convenient for our large group. My only two criticisms is that we did not get our questions/comments about the property answered by the manager & the general cleanliness. The property had sand in it upon our arrival. The washer has mold which made our clothes smell weird once we washed them. I made the property manager aware but they did not respond. One of the bunk beds also does not have a functional safety rail. Luckily, we did not need to use that bed. It is definitely not safe for young children as-is. Overall we had a great time! The lagoon in the back was perfect for our young children.

Perfect Beach Getaway

We had a fantastic time during our stay in Gulf Shores with this home being ideally located near the lagoon, fishing pier, and beach! Beautifully decorated, clean, and stocked with everything we needed. Loved enjoying the lagoon views from the wonderful decks, and the pool is an added bonus. Looking forward to going back!

Great Family Vacation

Nice property, had a great vacation with the family. Pool was nice, walk to the beach under the bridge made it easy to get to the beach without having to worry about traffic. Was a very relaxing vacation and we all had fun. Would definitely recommend to others. Close proximity to all the restaurants down town, but away from the hotel/high rise complexes which would have made the beaches pretty busy. Look forward to coming back to the area and would look at re-booking this house if available.

Amazing place to stay

We had an amazing time on our vacation! The property was perfect and in a great location. The kids loved the swimming pool which was right outside our door. The kitchen was equipped with everything imaginable: crockpot, blender, griddle, etc. We only ate out one meal the whole week! There was a cabinet full of games, books and puzzles for rainy days or hot afternoons.

Nice property

We had a nice family vacation in Gulf Shores. Property was well maintained and looked just like the pictures on the listing. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach. 2 of the toilets weren't working properly when we arrived, but had a plumber come promptly to fix the issue. They did have some beach items to use, unfortunately several chairs were broken, so couldn't use them. Overall, we had a great stay.

great location for two families

We had a total of 5 small kids(under the age of 5!) and this was a great location. they had all the outdoor stuff we needed. easy walk to the lagoon "beach" area and just a little further for the actual beach. check and check out were easy. the only complaint was there were no trashbags or paper towels when we arrived. this was easily solved the next day once we were able to make a grocery run but it would have been nice to have a few trash bags handy.
