Everything was great except cockroaches in the house and all around the pool, and the dish washer didn’t work. Dishes on the bottom were not clean and we ended up washing them by hand. The house was awesome other wise with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms.

The photos don’t do this house justice. We were greeted with an immaculately clean home and a fully functioning air conditioning system did not disappoint. The layout is amazing and full of space! Our family loved that they all had a private bedroom AND private bathroom!!The ground floor has everything you might want. We especially enjoyed the pool, swings and fire pit area. The lagoon gives you a beautiful view of the sunset and we would have loved to fish but forgot our poles. It was a convenient walk to the beach and we utilized a beach wagon to haul our stuff. I only wish we had another week to take advantage of everything this house had to offer.

Really enjoyed our stay at Good Time Charlie. The house was clean and seemed fairly new. The kitchen was VERY well stocked! Beds were comfy and the living areas had plenty of seating for all 15 of us. The bay and dock provided beautiful views of the sunset and was a quiet retreat from the beach. The walk to the beach was a little more than I would have liked, but it was still manageable. There was no hard pack on the beach, so hauling a lot of stuff in wagon/carriers is quite difficult once you get to the sand.Would definitely stay here again!

Was one of the best houses we have rented. Was perfect for our 14 adults and 3 littles. Plenty of room to all sit in the house and rooms were great to accommodate our crowd. Would enjoy a little bigger pool but it still worked fine for us!!

We had a group of 11 college girlfriends. The house was perfect for our gang. We mainly stayed at the house. We cooked our own food, enjoyed the swimming pool, play games, and had bonfires. At first, I thought I would be disappointed that we weren’t on the beach, but the lagoon side is lovely. It’s peaceful and the sunsets were absolutely gorgeous.

We traveled with our adult children and 3 grandchildren ages 11/2, 2 and 4. We had the best week. The property was beautiful and as pictured! We did choose to heat the pool and were glad we did . Everyone had such a good time! The lagoon was lovely and protected from the 2 windy days we had. Very short walk to the gulf to enjoy the waves! The peer was great for fishing. The kids got a good laugh out of the heron who waited patiently for you to catch a fish! We would definitely return! Highly recommend!

We are a group of 14 nurses that choose a different destination each year. This was our 8th annual trip and by far one of our favorite homes and destinations. The house was pristine and everything we expected. We were so pleased with the kitchen having everything we needed to make meals at home. The pool was fantastic. Lots of chairs for all of us. The beach chairs were a bonus too!

We enjoyed the house….the layout worked for our crew. We also enjoyed the back porch view of the lagoon & the wild life it presented. Many of our group used the pool as well. The beach is a short walk. All in all this was one our favorites for our annual family trip.

We absolutely loved this house. The location was awesome! We loved having a pool to get into after the beach. The rooms were spacious and there was so much seating in the living room. We loved how big the kitchen is. One of the favorites was the dock and being able to fish off of it. We will be back!

This home has the perfect location overlooking the lagoon and just a short walk under the bridge and you are on the beach. We have stayed at Gulf Shores many times and this is now my favorite spot. The house was perfect for our group of 16! The home is stocked with all the beach equipment you need. The kitchen has plentiful amount utensils and appliances. Every bedroom having a private bathroom is great. The private pool area was great for all ages. We will definitely be back.

This house exceeded our expectations! It was very well maintained and clean. The pool was very nice and stayed clean the whole week. It was an easy walk through the neighborhood to get to the inlet and beach. It took me five minutes to be on the beach. The Lagoon pass area was quiet and all of the houses looked well maintained. The dock was a great size and didn’t get used much except for our family and one young boy from the house next to us. We have been coming to Gulf Shores for seven years and this has been our best experience yet.

What an awesome property with so much to offer the whole family. This was our 2nd stay at Good Time Charlie and all 13 family members loved the house just as much as before. The home was very clean and pristine upon entry. With all en-suite baths and 4 great king beds and 2 double queen bedrooms everyone was very comfortable. The grand kids loved the pool and sandy play area and fished off the pier and made s‘mores one night. The beauty of the lagoon and the wildlife was enjoyed every day and the cool breezes were great. We rented paddle boards that were delivered to the house to add to the fun. We brought a boat and launching right next door was easy. Some of the family rarely went to the gulf beach because they enjoyed the lagoon property so much. The living area of the house was spacious with ample seating for our big group. The kitchen was fully stocked with silverware, dishes, great pots and pans and many various appliances. The new mini fridge in the huge walk in pantry was a great addition and helped us get drinks cooled. There are 3 full baths on the main level, but none of them have a walk in shower which would have been helpful for a handicapped family member who didn’t want to climb another set of stairs. Also on our wish list would be the addition of an ice maker, but this time we didn’t have to buy ice as often as before. We had no maintenance issues during our stay, but the management company let us know they were there if we needed them. Our family would love to return to this fabulous, fun, beautiful property in the future. This is one of the best places our family has stayed in over the 35 years of visiting Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

Good Time Charlie was an amazing place to stay. The place was beautiful both inside and out, and the communication with the management company was spot on. The private pool was a hit. We took advantage of some of the complimentary ticket offerings with the dolphin cruise and parasailing. We rented a boat at the Wharf, and we also enjoyed an afternoon at Flora-Bama. The beer at the local brewery was great, and dinner at Tacky Jacks, the Gulf Restaurant and Bahama Bobs were all delicious. We had a fantastic trip!

Our family of 4 met up with another family of 4 at this wonderful vacation home. The house was immaculately kept and comfortable. There was plenty of space for us to all hang out, as well as personal space for each of us, we actually wished we had invited more people to join us. The kitchen was the very well stocked as far as appliances and utensils, making cooking a breeze while we were here. The staff was very communicative, and responsive to my inquiries. We only had one issue while there, and the maintenance personnel showed up within an hour of me reporting the issue. We were very impressed, and would definitely rent again. We enjoyed the dock access to the lagoon, and being able to walk to the beach. We opted to heat the pool, and despite fairly cool temps while we were there, we all enjoyed swimming.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Good Time Charlie. The house is in a great location at the end of a culdesac. The kitchen was well equipped with a selection of appliances. We had bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone and loved the swimming pool. My brother, father, and I got to fish in the lagoon and had some luck! The only negative was that it was chilly!

We always spend the week between Christmas and New Years as a family in Gulf Shores or on 30A. This house was voted favorite!! It was perfect size, layout, and location. The kitchen was made and supplied to actually be used. The dock, pool, and sand area were perfect and we even had space for our corn hole games that we brought from home! We brought our Brompton bikes and such easy access to trails. We had a great time.

My entire family of 11 (8 adults, 3 children ages 6 months, 2, 4) plus two dogs had ample room. Fantastic location. We didn’t have to worry about the kids running to the beach unsupervised. The heated pool was awesome for November. Pier fishing was a plus. We saw mantas and crab in the lagoon. No one was crowded. The kitchen was abundantly stocked. Beds super comfortable. Coffee pot was missing, and the staff delivered one at 8pm. Perfect location and setting to watch LSU beat Alabama. Lol. Will be back!!!

Lots of fun was had by our family of 15! We came down for my wedding! The ease of renting and the great customer service from Gulf Shores Vacations made this time special! This vacation home is perfectly located on Little Lagoon, a very short walk to The Gulf, and only a 5 minute drive to the Gulf State Park, where our ceremony was held. It’s within a short drive to shopping, restaurants, and fun activities. We had 11 adults, 4 kids, and two small pups. Plenty of room for everyone! Each bedroom has its own bathroom, which was a huge bonus!! The pool was perfect, no need to have it heated. The ONLY negative thing was the lack of yard/grass for the dogs to potty. We knew this could happen being waterfront. However, the plants surrounding us were prickly and had burrs that caused major pain and fear in the dogs. We were able to take them on walks around the quaint neighborhood which they loved, just not always convenient. I called CS and they sent someone immediately to try to fix the issue. It didn’t help, totally not their fault (weather, location, elements) and we were appreciative of their efforts.

We rented Good Time Charlie for a big family vacation. Location of the house was great being in it own little cul-de-sac off the Lagoon. It was a great house for 4 set of families with little kids. The pool was a big hit with kids along with the sand area and the dock with the lagoon right there. They loved going by the water at night looking for hermit crabs and fishing. The whole house was clean and fully stocked. It also has extra chairs to use when going to the beach. Would definitely rent again.

We have stayed at Good Time Charlie for 3 years and we booked our 4th!! Good Time Charlie is the perfect spot for our families. We love the location away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist side of Gulf Shores. The proximity to the beach is just right. The family loves having the dock right outside the back of the home where you can fish and swim in the lagoon. The little kids love the pool. The house has everything you need and more!

Amazing property
We had a great vacation at Good Time Charlie. The house was spacious and very clean for our group of 12 (10 adults, 2 kids). There was a lot to do for all age groups at the house itself and only a short distance to the beach, restaurants and anything else we wanted to explore. This house was better than expected and we will be staying again if we're ever back in the Gulf Shores area.
