Property is a convenient location. Short walk in the sand from the building to the actual water. No hangers in closets, no heavy blankets, and no iron. Ice maker does not work. Would rent again I suppose, but overall place is smaller than appears in photos and ceilings are very low. Honestly price is too high for rental.

The location is great. It’s right on the beach, and just a few stop lights away from the fun restaurants/ The Hangout/ shops. There’s a trash chute just near the door which was so convenient! Covered parking available with no extra charge, and an elevator. Our kids enjoyed being able to run back and forth from the beach to the pool because everything was so conveniently close. The one negative about this unit is that the master bathroom is tiny. (Like turn sideways to slide into the shower door.) However, the bedrooms were a very nice size and the furniture was comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay!

Very nice accommodation. Very clean with all the amenities you need. The view of the Gulf of Mexico was very small, but at least we could see and hear the beach.

Great place

Loved it! The place has all you need with no hiccups. Emails lay out everything well in advance, and it's smooth getting in and out. Just a solid spot all around on the beach.

Wonderful location

We had an absolutely wonderful time. Condo was right on beach which we loved. Balcony was awesome to sit out and enjoy the ocean scenery. My only complaint would be to have cleaners clean under beds and dressers. Also clean ceiling fans and bottoms of furniture. Other than that, everything was excellent

Family Retreat

My grown children, their spouses, and I enjoyed our stay. A sister and her family own a unit at Gulf House & another sister & her family rented another unit there. It was great to have all of us together! We hope to plan it again next year! Thanks!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our visit was great. We were a little off put by the size of the master bathroom. The pictures did not show that there is a step up into the toilet/shower area or that the size is smaller then a single stall in a public bathroom. The glass shower door opens less then half way due to the toilet and you cannot close the door and use the restroom without your knees being squished into it. It was not very functional. Everything else was wonderful. We had one minor issue during our visit and the communication was great and problem fixed quickly. Everyone we encountered was kind and the location was really good. There is a key pad entry and no way to further lock the door once inside which was a little bit of a safety concern but overall we were very happy with our stay and would stay again

Pleasant stay..clean pool! The only thing that was weird to me was as much as you pay to stay at these places you had to pay if you washed or dryed anything and had to use an app and debit card to do so, that should be free!

Family trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we had a great stay. It was 4th of July week so it was super crowded but physical loved the location of this condo and proximity to the beach. The condo itself met our needs, but could do with some upgrades. The numbers on the oven knobs are worn off so it was hard to tell when you were cooking which direction the heat was going, there was water damage in the main bathroom that had to be fixed while there, and there were not enough pieces of silverware for the amount of people it said it slept. The property group was super responsive though which was great in terms of getting our needs met. The biggest downfall, more than anything, were the chair rental groups that are located on the beach in front of the condo. I don't know if there is anything you can do about it, but for this reason alone we most likely will not rent in this location again. They hoarded all of the spots, asked people to move who were there before them, set up their chairs right behind us if we did set up before them, and completely blocked the ocean view all the way down the beach if they could. I understand it is a business, but having to get up at 5 or 6 am just to put your chairs out so you could "hopefully" see the ocean was not enjoyable for our family.

Decent....would return!

Overall, decent spot (3.5-4 rating). It does the job for a quick visit, just not what I'm used to for beach side vacay. Upsides: -Easy access to beach, spacious "enough" for 3-4 adults/1 child. -Easy check in process / location to find. -Clean and building wasn't overrun with folks using the elevator etc. -Bedding/bathrooms seemed to be in order. -Definitely a cozy / small home feel. Growth Edges/Opportunities: -While the "proactive" communication with the property was decent via text, it was off-putting. The day before arrival, was told that the property might not be ready by 4pm due to housekeeping needs (it ended up being ready by 345pm, which was great--however walked in and saw candy in the "bar" chairs that wasn't ours). Then the day before we were to check out, I was asked when we were leaving so that housekeeping could get in (which felt like we were being rushed out). On either side, just didn't leave a good feeling--just have what I'm paying for ready/available (and early check in where possible). -View of the beach from balcony is narrow (the picture is truly accurate) and unfortunately also close to main road. So, if you're looking to hear waves, the sound will heavily mixed with the honking and other noises of the road. -The master bath is super small, as is the kitchen. Not ideal for bigger/taller folks. -The "main" bath is decent, but the tub had some draining issues (was not sand, as this was an issue before even getting into shower). -Balcony door gave a bit of problem, but just had to figure out. Main door also didn't always lock, which was odd. Screen door lock wasn't super secure either. -Batteries of the double bed room for dvd/tv need replacing (One remote batteries were corroded, the other just didn't work). -No laundry within the unit (I didn't know there would be housing units on the beach sans in-unit laundry. I'm sure coin-laundry is probably listed on description, just didn't think of it since all other locations had in-house laundry). Again, all in all it did the job, as most of our time was at the beach anyways! I would visit / stay again in a pinch!

No internet connection on TV and basic cable only

No internet connection on TV and basic cable only. Property manager (Hunter) said cable company would come quickly, but never did. The master bathroom is HORRIBLE set up (Tiny and too small for an adult). Hot water in kitchen was turned off, dishwasher wouldn't close (maintenance came quickly), DVD player had volume issue, Screen door was broken so we had to use brute force to get in. Property Manager said "don't close it," and never had it fixed. He kept saying that he opened and closed several times without problem. Seriously! Unfortunately, the wind didn't take his advice. Property Manager was rude and unprofessional. Told me I was "looking to give a bad review," and called me a liar. Owner needs to find another property management company

Very nice place. Only problem we had we were on the 6th floor and on Sunday the elevator was not working for most of the day. But they did allow us to stay later on our check out day.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The gulf house was clean when got to it. It was a short walk to the beach which the kids loved being right there on the beach. The only bad part was when the elevator broke made it **** getting everything down from the 6th for the beach and back up.Also the other issue is people just parking there without a parking pass so there wasn’t enough place to park.But other then that it was a great place to stay and a great trip.

Need extra paper towels, toilet paper and kitchen trash bags if staying longer than 1 day.

Overall experience was worth the cost for easy access to beach and shopping.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great experience during our stay at 605 Gulf House! I called to check on an earlier check in time just in case because we arrived in Gulf Shores around 2:00 pm. They were so accommodating and we got in around 2:30! The condo had everything we needed during our stay. The bathrooms were a bit small, but that wasn't a huge deal. We would likely stay again!
