Great location for a week with good friends!

Rest Area West was just as good as advertised. Our group of 4 couples all loved the properry and its proximity to the Gulf. The house is in great shape with thoughtful amenities such as extra refrigerator space and two dishwashers. The pool on the deck that overlooks the beach and the beautiful waters of the Gulf was a welcome bonus for all of us. We will definitely be back!

Had a wonderful family beach vacation. The house was well equipped inside and out for a large family. Plenty of kitchen supplies for meals in and lots of toys for pool area. The ramp to the beach was such a huge help!

Great stay for large group

We had a great stay for our first ever all family Christmas vacation! The living and kitchen space is so open and made for great time spent together. Lots of seating and kitchen is well stocked. Would recommend a few more dish towels in kitchen though. Lots of sleeping places although a few beds were somewhat uncomfortable. The location right on the beach was amazing!! Would highly recommend.

Extended Family Spring Break

We had a wonderful time at Rest Area West. Our group consisted of grandparents, parents, teens and young children. There was plenty of space and plenty of things to do. The house was well appointed and clean. Our only recommendations would be more kitchen hand towels and oven mits. The rooms were spacious and no one ever had to wait for a bathroom since there were 5 to choose from! We definitely enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend!

Great vaca!

I thought the online listing was a little misleading! I didn’t realize until after booking that this is a duplex! There was a very large group (possibly larger than the allowed capacity) celebrating graduation in the unit beside us! They were a little loud but hey were only there for the first couple of days of our stay! Other than that, the house was perfect for our family- plenty of room and very clean!

Needs some maintenance

We had an enjoyable visit to Fort Morgan. This location is out of the way, which has it benefits, and negatives. House interior was clean, kitchen was well stocked, minus pot mitts. Views were amazing, we saw dolphins, sharks, and sting rays. I did text, and talk with the owner after our stay, so some of the negatives I am going to mention may have been taken care of by now. The beach side patio door does not lock, at all, none of the 4 available grills were usable, a few of us tripped several times on the small step under the house, the vents were closed in the first floor bedroom & bathroom, (fortunately, no one got hurt standing on a chair opening them), 3 of us burned ourselves using the oven, and make sure to plan ahead when using the dryer as it takes 2 to 2 1/2 cycles. This side of the duplex offers very little for outdoor toys, but it is not advertised that they do. There also were not many board games, if any, for adults/teens to play on the beautiful dining room table. We had our own, as well as our own chess pieces to use on the chess table. If any of these things concern you, check with Justin regarding if any of these items have been taken care of before your stay.

Relaxing Stay

We have been coming to Gulf Shores for 6 years and have stayed in a different home for each stay. We have never stayed in the sane property. The pool is this property was a big draw and we did enjoy it. We share this home with two other families and we had plenty of room for all of us. It’s beach front and beautiful. Things we loved as families were the beach, the pool and daily family volleyball games. The beds were comfy and we loved the very large kitchen table. The patio furniture is nice also. We are not really picky families or hard to please. If we were things that would have bothered us included: No functioning ice machine The ice maker on the fridge makes maybe one full glass of ice a day. The ice maker in the wet bar area does not work at all. The dryer takes 2.5-3 hours for one load to dry. No oven mitts for cooking Very dirty stove, and grills- would definitely not cook on the grills. Housekeeping did a base cleaning job before our arrival. Not outstanding, but it was fine. It appears as though the other side has different owners. You could get lucky with sharing the pool with guests, but you could also get unlucky. We had it great most of the week. Sadly we noticed that next year this same property is more than doubling in price for our spring break. Glad we enjoyed it before we can afford it.

Rest Area West

Kitchen had everything we needed. Dining area accommodated all of us. Down side was the furniture and beds were old and terribly worn out. Uncomfortable mattresses. House could use a good cleaning. Ice maker was nice to have but we had to clean the mold out of it. Had rain water come in around a window frame. Door code didn’t work to enter after going out for dinner but manager responded quickly to give us a new code.

We loved every minute of the stay. Roomy and enough beds for all. The balcony.might just be my favorite spot. Watch the waves drinking coffee. The owner sent me an ad for Thanksgiving meal idea , which was a HIT! Owner is very responsive by phone calls , texted and mail. We will come back and stay there again

Family fun

Took my son, grandchildren, sister, cousin and daughter for fall break. Is was just what we needed. Plenty of room and baths for everyone. Pool and very short walk to the beach which was good for the older adults. Only thing I would suggest would be pot holders for over snd new grills.

Enjoyed our stay!!

Our family had a great time at this property. The location is wonderful, on the beach with a beautiful view. The kids and grandkids loved the pool and it was a nice sized pool that is shared with the other rental. Security around the pool was good, our younger children could not open the gate without an adult. The kitchen is well stocked and we made everything from pb&j to having a wonderful seafood dinner. Plenty of room at the table for everyone to enjoy meals. The two refrigerators were great and we loved the ice machine. This was a very comfortable house for our family, the only negative would be that it needs a little TLC after hosting families all summer. However, we would love to stay here again sometime.

We've stayed at Rest Area West before and we hope to stay there again. The beach front location is perfect, not crowded. The shared pool has worked out great each time.
