About this house rental

Slackwater
 
Enjoy a relaxing vacation on the water at Slackwater! By definition, Slackwater is a period of time in a body of tidal water when the water is completely unstressed. Unstressed is exactly how guests will feel in this new 4 bedroom 4 bathroom home which features ample living space with two expansive floors and over 2000 square feet in the prime West Beach area of Gulf Shores.  Located in the Pass Time Community, Slackwater is just steps from both the Gulf beach and a local favorite beach Little Lagoon Pass. This low-density community has a sparkling pool shared by only nine homes! With the pool directly outside the door and newly constructed fishing pier, guests can experience what Gulf Shores has to offer without leaving the home! If activity is your thing, Slackwater is just a five minute drive to the center of town for dining, shopping, and entertainment. 
 

About Slackwater

Slackwater is the perfect beach home for your large family or even multiple families, with ample space for 12 guests and parking for up to 4 cars. On the main level, beautiful beachy decor, a wide open floor plan, and wall-to-wall windows are the cornerstone of coastal elegance. Plenty of seating and an extra-large TV provide an excellent space for entertaining and relaxing all while overlooking the gorgeous Little Lagoon. The fully stocked kitchen has counter space for preparing meals for a crowd and the window overlooking the pool brings the outside in. On the huge covered deck, relax in the captains chairs and enjoy the breeze! The main floor also features one bedroom with a king sized bed and TV as well as one full bathroom with a walk in shower. 
 
Moving upstairs, the huge master suite has its own private balcony with plenty of seating and a great view of the water. Sit outside and relax before bed to the sounds of the beach. Guests will also find a TV and expansive master bathroom with dual sinks and a tub/shower combo. Across the hall is another king bedroom with TV and private bathroom. Finally, down the hall is the kids' retreat, a bunk room equipped with a TV, DVD player, private full bathroom and two sets of bunk beds, one full and one twin to sleep 6.  
 
Outside Slackwater, guests are just steps to a local favorite beach, Little Lagoon Pass. The Pass is the perfect swimming spot for families with children, featuring beautiful white sand, sparkling shallow water, and the perfect location to launch a kayak for a day of fishing. Speaking of fishing, follow the paved walking path to the brand new fishing pier, stretching 100+ feet out over the lagoon and enjoy a day of reeling them in! Bring a propane tank and grill up your catch on the large gas grill provided for guest use. 
 
Guests can even access the beautiful Gulf WITHOUT CROSSING A STREET! A few steps beyond the Lagoon Pass beach leads to the sandy shores of the Gulf! Simply follow the walking path below the bridge and find yourself directly on the beach! The prime location of this gorgeous new home along with its expansive interior, sparkling pool, and easy access to TWO beaches and a fishing pier make Slackwater the perfect location for your family vacation.

For large parties, guests can also rent Always Summer, and Pass Time Cottage, two identical homes just steps away!

We have stayed here 3 times previous and this 4th was not best experience. We needed 3 codes through the first few days to get one that worked to be able to get in. Did not get an overnight number til later Sat. Took up to 6 times for code to work. Just kept spinning. After drivjng over 12 hours we wanted to get in. Finally someone came and oiled lock and then worked on loke to 3rd day. So getting in was an issue for the first couple days. There was much trash ..old food under sofa and food and dishes under one of bunk beds. Mold is very apparent in washing machine. And communication was iffy about issues. I could not access checkout and while i think I remember did not have a real list. I think we left in good shape. We will likely not be back even though generally speaking have loved this house. We have many great memories.

Our family really enjoyed our stay at the property. The location is great & having 2 fridges was really convenient for our large group. My only two criticisms is that we did not get our questions/comments about the property answered by the manager & the general cleanliness. The property had sand in it upon our arrival. The washer has mold which made our clothes smell weird once we washed them. I made the property manager aware but they did not respond. One of the bunk beds also does not have a functional safety rail. Luckily, we did not need to use that bed. It is definitely not safe for young children as-is. Overall we had a great time! The lagoon in the back was perfect for our young children.

We had an amazing time on our vacation! The property was perfect and in a great location. The kids loved the swimming pool which was right outside our door. The kitchen was equipped with everything imaginable: crockpot, blender, griddle, etc. We only ate out one meal the whole week! There was a cabinet full of games, books and puzzles for rainy days or hot afternoons.

This home was incredible! Beautiful & simple decor, comfortable & we loved the extra large table which easily seated our party of 9 (4 adults + 5 kids). Beautiful view of the lagoon from the main great room (kitchen/dining/living) and both large balconies. The walk to the beach was quick & easy, especially using the wagon provided. We did a ton of cooking and the house was equipped with everything we needed and then some. Do note that you will need to bring anything consumable (i.e. olive oil, salt/pepper, spices, ziplock bags, aluminum foil, etc.) Communication with the property manager was stellar! I received a welcome text upon arrival. And, although the internet was out during our stay, they promptly sent a repair person to fix the issue. Unfortunately for us it wasn't an easy fix so it wasn't up and running until the morning of our checkout, but that was no fault of the property manager. We look forward to returning to Slackwater in the future! *** Don't forget to bring beach towels and cooking consumables to ensure a seamless vacation!

Check-in was easy, and the property was clean and in a great spot. Communication from property management was also great. My only complaint was there wasn’t any extra toilet paper, paper towels, or dishwasher detergent. I would definitely stay here again.
