Great Family Escape

The location of this property was absolutely stunning. The neighborhood is quite, friendly, and very laid back. We were a very short walk to the beautiful sandy beach. The house could use a deep clean, but we were two families, each with kids, so perfect cleanliness wasn't a priority for us. The rooms were amazing. Kitchen is very well stocked. The decks were relaxing and beautiful. The pool was a tad cold, but it didn't stop the kids from swimming all day/night. Our group (two families) fit great in this house, and we'd be back again!!

Enjoyed stay but house needs some tlc

We really enjoyed our stay here. Short walk to beach, swimming pool was nice, and drive into gulf shores wasn't bad. The downfalls are the house needs a deep cleaning inside and out. Alot of the furniture needs replaced due to being worn out. (Patio chairs, bar stools, mattress, and couch)

Great place very very dirty.

The property was as advertised. Nice beach house, not far from the beach. Our problem is with the cleanliness and the company that does the cleaning. Dust EVERYWHERE!!!!! If you have allergies this is not the place for you. The intake vent was cover in dust. Filter looks like it had not been changed in a long time. A vent in the bathroom has mold on in. We had a tv that didn't work. And lots and lots of bugs and mosquitoes. Went swimming, it was like being in the rainforest with all the bugs. The worst part is when we contacted Brandy, the person in charge of the cleaning company, she told me she would have someone out the next day. No one ever came. Then my grandfather called a few days later and she said she would get the issues fixed, even worse she lied and said she never spoke to anyone else and I have text messages to prove we had communicated. The floor was very dirty and has sand all over it, before we even walked to the beach. We have a toddler who crawled on the floor and her knees, elbows, and hands were BLACK in ten minutes of being here. Some of the mattresses were so worn that we would roll to the center. Lots of broken furniture. We loved the location but we will never stay at the property again.

Peaceful, but falling apart (may 2017)

The GOOD: nice neighborhood, short walk to the beach, nicely decorated house. We had a group of 10 (4 families) and there was plenty of room for everyone! The private pool was nice for the days we couldn't make it to the beach. There is a sign in the backyard that warns of an alligator (there is one back there we saw it). Nice wrap around deck. Lots of room to park 4+ cars. Everything you could need for a kitchen is there. The air condioner works great, always stayed cold inside. THe BAD- everything you touch appeared to fall apart. The bar stools and dinning room chairs were very wobbly, we tightened them all up so we could use them. When we arrived the bathroom toilet was overflowing with water. We quickly turned the water off and called the contact person and they had a maintenance person there within an hour to fix it. The maintenance person said he fixed it but the handle didn't work and he said he would be back next week to fix it he came in Saturday to fix it and when we left on Friday he still hadn't shown up(that was not going to work for us) so we went to Walmart and got the part to fix it. Toilet paper roll holders and towel holders falling off the wall that we fixed. Deck chairs on the back porch arms appeared to be loose. It would be better if checkout was at 11 instead of 10. Could use a good power washing as it was dirty on the outside porches. There was a golf cart for us to use to go to the beach but it was not working. There is NO WIFI. The stairs and white railings were very squeaky and looked like they were going to fall apart soon. Overall this could be a great property if it was maintained better. It is pretty far away from the hustle bustle of gulf shores.

Christmas vacation

Overall the property was nice however the living room furniture desperately needs to be replaced. The dining chairs also need to be replaced as some are cracked and coming apart. The house is in a great location about an 6 minute walk to the beach and the gated wrap around porch was wonderful. The pool is beautiful however it was too cold for us to swim but still nice to look at.

Awful. Renter beware.

Satellite TV didn't work,3 kids very unhappy and miserable. It's pretty dirty overall. Especially the floors like walking barefoot leaves your feet black with dirt. Moldy shower curtains and dead bugs in the window sills.There's an ant infestation in the hallway closet next to bathroom. Not that it can be helped but the standing water from the pool underconstrution has the outside area smelling awful. The two room unit ACs don't work and the house using is underperforming. Which could be because the vent grate I covered in dust. Allergies beware. It's overall been pretty unpleasant but we didnt have any options. Honestly we considering leaving early and forfeiting the final night. But being displaced from Hurricane Ida we didn't have options.

Better than expected

The furnishings have been upgraded since the pictures posted were taken. The neighborhood is quiet. There is a lot of flood water around the house but we were able to access everything we needed to without issue. We would definitely stay here again

Over all the house was nice and spacious but outside needs help!

Over all the house was nice and spacious inside but the outside needs yard maintenance bad! The weeds were high around the Parking area and walk ways. Where the pool was is nothing but a cess pool that the lagoon has taken over. If I was going to rent this house out myself I’d definitely put some attention to the outside the area behind the house is a huge eye sore and just looks like it’s been let go. Maybe the hurricane season of 2020 hurt it bad but still you make it presentable to renters. There was also a bed that had crumbs of cookies in the sheets when we arrived. Hopefully the owners put some thought into the cess pool before their re rent this place

Private Paradise

We were nervous to come on vacation with the COVID virus. We had booked the year before. This place was so secluded and it’s own piece of paradise. We had access to a private beach, the pool and a well stocked house to include an awesome charcoal grill! The inside as well as the outside was perfect for kids and entertaining adults! Very clean and wonderful decorations! The beds are so comfortable!

Great location!

Overall the property was excellent. With the exception of a couple of minor items I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The communication with Brandy (the property manager) was prompt and helpful, both by text and email. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone.

Quarantine Retreat

Everything was nice, relaxing and the perfect spot with everything that is going on right now. We couldn’t have asked for a better place. Secluded from everyone else, but still close enough to the beach. Would love to stay again!

An awesome house, very clean and spacious. It was everything we wanted and needed in a vacation home. Very relaxing. The pool was utilized thoroughly. Location to the beach was one of the best things for us. Cant wait for our next girls trip!

Excellent Large Private Space

This house was amazing! The large, spacious den and kitchen opened up to a back porch overlooking the pool. Everyone was in sight and able to interact. The beach was just a few blocks away and was very private with plenty of room to spread our group out! We loved the privacy of the home and the multiple amenities to keep us occupied!

Nice Family Trip

Things to know: The third bathroom is outdoors and beneath the house, there are two bathrooms in the house one in the master bedroom and one in a hallway. The loft mattress on the floor is inside the bedroom with the bunk beds. The pool and front and back porches are very nice.

Family beach vacation

We truly loved this location! The fact that so much natural greenery is remaining is a great touch and helps with seclusion and privacy from neighbors. Also, the floor plan worked out wonderfully! We loved the bonus of having a private pool!! The is close enough to walk to the beach however if I did stay here again I would definitely rent a golf cart for ease. Overall we had an amazing stay

Beach Vacay

Nice & roomy! Private pool was great! If you have a lot of stuff for the beach it’s a little too far of a walk, golf cart or quick drop off and come back is the best option.
