First time to Gulf Shores

View from property was excellent. Short walk to beach. Close to many restaurants and stores. House was comfortable for our 6 travelers. Only minor issue was lock on front door was tricky, but we figured it out. Would definitely stay there again.

Perfect for a couples trip!

It’s so hard to find a good place to accommodate three couples, three queen beds and three full bathrooms. It was clean and so cute in side. Staff were very helpful when we had a question at check in! We would gladly return!

Great place across the street from beach

This is a nice 3-bedroom, 3 bath house across the street from the beach in Gulf Shores. Within walking distance of restaurants and shopping. Fully furnished kitchen and nice mattresses on the beds.

Great location

Location, location, location. This property was at a great location just across the street from public access to the beach. Parking was easy just off main road under the house. Front part of home is newly remodeled. Back part is older, but in good condition. Nice upper level deck, for outdoor time.

Quick Beach Vacation

The house was as described and they mentioned construction so it wasn't a surprise but the construction meant we had to walk down a bit to get to beach. Wished the unit had a grill but overall we had everything we needed and it was spacious.

Location!

Wonderful house located directly across from the BEACH! (Sit on the front porch and stare at the ocean waves close!) We enjoyed our stay with plenty of room for all seven of us. This adorable house was in the perfect spot - easy walking distance to shops and dinning, a short drive to get groceries and near Gulf State Park, a beautiful place to hike or bike through! Wonderful management company that kept in constant communication throughout the trip! Will definitely be coming back!
