We enjoyed our stay. Everything was as it was described in the listing and the house was solid enough to take the tropical storm winds. Elevator is great and made things so much easier when carrying in supplies. Thanks to the gracious host for allowing us to enjoy the beach front home

Everything was great except the deck. Cheap plastic chairs. We didn’t feel safe sitting in them. Plus there was not enough seating. My son sat down at the picnic table because there wasn’t enough seating. It was dark and he didn’t see that it was rusted and falling apart. It broke and he fell on the deck hurting himself. I reached out to the property manage telling her what happened and never heard from her.

Enjoyed our stay and the location was perfect. Beach was not overly crowded on labor day and the house was overall comfortable. The main bedroom stays pretty warm and the matresses could use updates but overal we enjoyed our time there.

The house was not red as picture indicated so we passed it the first time. It has been painted white. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. House was not as clean as expected, but bedding was clean.
2.0 / 10.0
Upon arrival, the home was not easily identified since the house color differed from the listing. Several things in the home were not actually like the listing. We started off with not being able to get the master lock open for the key but luckily the front door had a code. Additionally, the elevator was not usable. It seems that a previous tenant might not have shut the door properly so it would not open inside or out. Wwe had to carry everything up and down the stairs in both check-in and check-out. The door to the deck was broken and the way it locked was by putting a board down to hold the door in place. The deck didn't exit to the beach which was unexpected. Some of the furniture had rust on it which was expected to some degree at the beach but not in the main room. None of the tv's in the house worked except the one in the main room. All others were giving a connection error and reboots of things didn't help. I could go on but it would be a long list. I contacted the owner upon arrival and even contacted maintenance. Not a single response to any of the problems we were having in the house. Especially, the elevator. I have an elderly mother and all of the stair climbing was brutal on her that she ended up in pain where she laid in a bed for two days with leg cramping and back pain. This was the worst vrbo experience and not at all worth the money we paid. The lack of response to any concerns, starting from the first day of our trip to the last was infuriating.

Great experience. Excellent air conditioning on main floor, acceptable upstairs. Beds very comfortable. Kitchen stocked well. Did not see one single alive roach inside or outside the house. Found one dead roach in master in a desk drawer. Elevator was not working entire stay, not a deal breaker but would have been very nice for moving in and departing with luggage. Plenty of beach chairs in garage closet. Only grills were charcoal, lighter fluid was plentiful but had to purchase charcoal. Beach was very close, front row of beach filled up everyday, did not feel cramped at all. Renters to the right were very noisy, adults stayed ip partying to 5 am a couple of nights, 7 or 8 kids very loud during the day. Overall a great place to stay at Gulf Shores. Would not hesitate to stay again, but I believe the house may not be active on VRBO any more.

We have been staying here for almost ten years for two months. It is the perfect place for us with our dog. The area is perfect-the unit clean-the maintenance folks east to work with-the house a gun place! Love lt!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us again. We have stayed here before the week of Thanksgiving and it feels like our home away from home. Great location and your home is cozy, clean and spacious.

This property was just perfect. Clean, stocked well, right on the beach. Away from the busier areas by only a few minutes and so peaceful. The elevator was a lifesaver for us. The view from the upstairs master is spectacular!

We really enjoyed our stay at Safari Shores.
Walk straight out to the beach. There were turtles that had nested and hatched during our week.
The area itself was way less hectic on our west end than towards Orange Beach and more east.
Property description and amenities were spot-on. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking all meals, washer and dryer downstairs and upstairs was a huge bonus with our large group.
The elevator was a life saver of a feature!
Melissa was quick to respond to the few questions we had pre-stay and during our stay.
Easy to recommend staying at Safari Shores.

We have so many items we loved about Safari Shores, so I will list a few.
The beach was right outside the door and there was a turtle nest right in our path to the water. We were hoping for hatching during our week there but it didn't occur.
We also loved the fact there were 4 king size beds, perfect for adult couples!
Another of our loved items was the 3 different thermostats/AC units allowing our elderly parents to be warmer in their bedroom while having the remainder of the house cool.
The kitchen was stocked great with everything we needed to cook if we wanted to and a 12 cup coffee pot!
There was a washer and dryer on the top floor as well as the main floor which made washing up beach towels and swim suits quick work.
OH, the best part, the elevator!
I will definitely recommend Safari Shores and stay again.

My family and I have stayed in this beach house for 10 years, and that says a lot! We love the location with it being close to Waves and the ice cream shop! The updated floors were an added bonus, especially with it being a pet friendly house. We had an air conditioning problem that we noticed at about 10 one night, and before we went to bed, it was fixed. Super quick response time! The elevator is also an added bonus! This house is amazing!

Arriving at the property in the evening searching for a red house was tricky since it is now white. Great fenced in yard for dogs. Elevator was helpful in getting luggage up to the main floor. Lots of room in the house. Easy access to the beach. Pantry and kitchen pretty well stocked. The outside storage room had tons of beach chairs, wagons, umbrellas, boogie boards and such. Overall a great experience. Some pretty loud neighbors (from outside) but the house was pretty sound proof. Would totally stay there again. Super close to everything and food and stores in walking distance.

We stayed here for our annual October friends trip and everything was absolutely perfect! There were 6 (2 couples/2 singles) of us with plenty of elbow room and space to mingle with every amenity you could need. Property was super clean, the beds were comfortable, and the A/C rocked. The 1st level elevator was a great perk too! The location was perfect; directly on the beach and also walking distance to a close bar/restaurant/general store for anything you might need (like a frozen cocktail for sundown maybe? ;) ) Communication was prompt and we had no issues with stay. Highly recommended and would stay again without hesitation.

The house was perfect for our 14th annual girls weekend! A pipe burst on day 2 and the owner and maintenance man (Paul) had it fixed in minutes! Causing us no inconvenience at all. Paul was so kind. We were there for five days and four nights. Everything was perfect we would recommend this house to anyone.

This house is right on the beach and has beautiful views. The open floor plan made it a nice way to spend time with family. Although the host didn’t always respond within 24 hrs, she was very accommodating. The elevator was a wonderful perk until I got stuck inside and we had to call maintenance. The house is bright and decorated attractively but we found several examples of things that made us wonder about the level of cleanliness: stain on the sheet and hairs upon arrival, dirty utensils in drawer, mold in the closet.... we still very much enjoyed our trip though and the house does feel large, especially the first floor

Nice size house furnished nicely inside. Deck furniture was disappointing. Elevator broke first day nobody every came to look. Air Conditioner man showed unannounced to ck system heads up would have been nice. All being said close to perfect but not quiet. Still a nice place and location

Great time, great property.
The property was was perfect for our group of 7 and could have easily accommodated a few more. Location to everything in Gulf Shores was great as well. We would recommend this place to everyone we know and would definitely plan to stay here again.

Beautiful view and restful stay
I absolutely loved staying at this house! The decor was perfect and the convenience of the beach right outside our back door and being dog friendly was what we have been looking for! I have already booked this beautiful home for next year!

See you next year!!!

Loved this beach property!
Such a great location with beachfront views and literally steps away from the shoreline! Brought our 2 kids (12 and 17) and my parents (who loved the elevator access!) - each of us had our own private spaces and plenty of room to congregate while cooking dinner, playing games, or just to chill out and watch the waves roll in. There is plenty of sand toys, chairs, a sun ninja canopy and boogie boards to haul down to the beach in the wagon, too! For cooler nights we did borrow our kids blankets they brought on the trip to cover up in while sitting on the deck to listen to the waves, amazing how cool the nights get after baking in the sun all day! So glad we found this house to spend a great family vacation!

Wonderful Family Vacation
Our trip was amazing! The house was absolutely perfect for our crew! Right on the beach! We had everything we needed in the house. It was easy to find and easy to get in to. We had one slight confusion with the televisions but got a quick response and resolved the issue! We will definitely be booking here again for our next group vacation! Would highly recommend!

First Time visiting Gulf Shored
We had a nice time with our grandchildren and our son and his wife. The kids loved the beach even though it was a little cool. The house was very accommodating and we would definitely book it again. Four king size beds is really unusual. Our grandchildren each had their own room with a king size bed! We enjoyed the area and took advantage of some fun restaurants, took a side trip to see the USS Alabama and enjoyed some putt putt golf. Plenty to do there. We had some problems with the door to the elevator and also with the air conditioning. Our calls to the maintenance man were returned promptly and things were repaired very quickly.

Amazing!!
This place was absolutely gorgeous! This is one of my top favorite places. The past two years have been extremely stressful and even more so as of late. I was able to relax for the first time in a long time. We will definitely be back!

Discussing filthy
The house has been neglected. Mold covered vents. Duct tape tiles in shower. Shower nozzle in shower broken. The unit was not cleaned upon arrival. Had to have cleaners come clean. Still not clean after she left. Just way beyond a one hour clean needed. Maintenance man had to come nail down nails on deck. Stained sheets and stained bath towels. Elevator not working. Washer/dryer upstairs not working properly. Stained old carpets. Leaking toilets. Exterior in horrible condition. I could go on and on but I believe you get the picture.

Would stay here again

Beautiful home
Beautiful house. Right on the beach. Has everything you need to cook in. Super clean inside. Yard did need some weed eating.
Location is great. Easy access to everything.
FYI - Dogs not allowed on the beach. We did not know this until someone flagged us down. No signs indicating this but apparently it’s a rule on Gulf Shores and surrounding beaches.
If I could have my beach dream house this would be it.

Our second stay and enjoyed the time with family and the place worked well fo etc hour family. The owner is a pleasure to work with and was very responsive to my call. I lost the check in directions and she got me fixed up in short order.
5.0 / 10.0
My family thoroughly enjoyed this house. It has a fenced in yard for dogs, large deck, large family room/ kitchen/eating area. HUGE downstairs master w/ sitting area + another master up and 2 bedrooms . Fully loaded w/ linens + elevator. You need to take some shelter for deck as there are no umbrellas and not much seating though.
