We had a blast getting family together for food, fun, and of course the beach! Kids enjoyed crabbing. Grown kids loved flying the kite. Early risers caught the sunrise while enjoying their coffee! We were thankful for all the space and the elevator! The walk to the beach was just over the dunes.

The house was a perfect size for my family. The beach access was really nice - no crowds and our location was as though we had a private beach.

The location and the beach here couldn't be more special. We saw a variety of wildlife, including rays, turtles, dolphins, and more. It wasn't crowded at all, and walking over the dune to the ocean was manageable even for an 87-year-old. There is plenty of parking. The entire home was very clean and well-designed. The elevator was particularly helpful for those in our party who couldn't manage stairs. However, the house was more sparsely equipped compared to other places we have stayed in Gulf Shores. Although they claim the home sleeps 22, there was not enough bedding or towels for this many guests. There were 14 of us, and it was tight. There was no bedding available for the pull-out couch, nor any extra blankets. The kitchen lacked some essentials, such as a blender, and there wasn't even a salt or pepper shaker in the cabinets. Some of the silverware and whisks appeared to have been used for mixing paint and still had paint on them. Additionally, the dishwasher didn't work, the stove was missing a knob, and the fridge was leaking. The charcoal grill was also quite dirty, which made cooking on it a chore. Basically, if you’re within driving distance and able to bring everything you need for a beach vacation, this place is perfect. But if you’re flying in, it might be challenging to have everything you need to truly enjoy the beach as you might be accustomed to. A note for anyone staying in the king bedroom off the kitchen: it is the loudest room in the house

It’s in a great location, far enough from town but close enough to pop in for shopping or entertainment. The photos or maps make it difficult to see how close it is to the beach but it is really seconds—a handful of steps to the top of the hill and the beach starts there—it was never busy our week. The house is large and downstairs very open. Both balconies have expansive views of water and beach. It has everything you need, and in working order. We loved it and would certainly return. I suspect the homes on either side are privately owned because they remained mostly vacant during our week. Plenty of parking available and traffic in and out was not a problem. Some of the room layouts were a little odd. May want to get detail before bringing larger groups. Would have liked to have more space to list some of the nuances.

This is the fourth house we've rented in Gulf Shores, and it was the most sparse house we've stayed in. Other houses have had beach chairs and toys. We didn't have enough towels, but I guess I should've contacted the company and they would've brought more. I think there was also just one small bar of soap even if there were two sinks in the bathroom. Other than that, the house was good! The maintenance guy Dalton was really nice and helpful. We had a few things he had to address, and he was willing to help with anything. He even tried to get the TV upstairs to connect to the internet (it never did connect, and neither did the other LG TVs in the house). Anyone I talked to was really nice and helpful.
