Great beach house!

The view was amazing, great location and tons of things to do. Its very nice that every bedroom has there own bathroom. When you need something for the house, they were quick to respond. The beach was very clean and a great place for kids to have fun and collect sea shells. We will definitely be back!

Great week in Gulf Shores

Shells West was perfect for our group. We had 16 adults and 2 infants and had plenty of room for everyone. Access to the beach was easy. Having the pool was a huge bonus. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful place and a great deal

We loved Shells and it was much more affordable than many places we looked at. It is across the street from the beach (not on the beach) but that probably helps with the price a lot. And the owner has a beach access right across the street instead of walking down the road--very convenient! I highly recommend it.

We have a large family and had plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed the pool and the large decks. It was very easy to access the beach. There were grills left by previous renters so we took advantage!

Spring break

We had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your nice home. I would suggest updating the photos for the house--Shells is way better than the photos and we loved the all white bedding too. The pool was so nice and the beach very easy to get to for us. Thank you again for having us!

Family vacation 2024

We came down as a family of 17, 10 adults and 7 grand children, ages three and under. Even though the weather did not cooperate with our plans, we had a great time just spending time with the family and going to a few of the local gift shops and restaurants was fun for everyone. The home was clean, and the owners replied to any concerns we had, which really wasn’t any thing major. The beds were comfortable! The location to the beach was just across the street. We will consider this home again in a couple years when the grandkids get a little older.
