Felt like I was visiting my younger brother at college. One roll of toilet paper for a four night stay. Zero amenities. House was in a construction zone with a massive irrigation pipe blocking the driveway. Random guy stopped by to change the furnace filter on day two. Blender was broken. Ghetto.

Great Location! Waffle House being within walking distance was a plus. The beach is within walking distance.

My girlfriend and I stayed for 3 night’s and the walk to and from the beach is a breeze! Checking in was so fast and easy! For a single couple it was more than enough room for the both of us! You want breakfast? Waffle House is just across the street lol. We definitely enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this property to anyone, we will be back!

I only stayed for a couple of nights. First, I want to say that the location is incredible. You are able to walk anywhere you want to. Parking is nice and easy. Easy access to the beach. The home is a great size and I enjoyed our stay. That being said, there were some things that surprised me based on the amount we paid per night. We were surprised to see a large water pipe blocking the driveway as we arrived. We know this is out of the hosts control but would’ve liked to have been notified of it because we were unsure if we could drive over it. Inside, there are roach traps throughout the house. I understand roaches are a common thing, but the traps startled me. The state of the shower could use some updating. The shower hooks were rusted and the shower curtain was slightly dirty. When showering, the water doesn’t drain properly and becomes a hazard with the standing water. My husband unfortunately slipped and cut his finger pretty badly. Curtains on the windows in the bedrooms would be appreciated to keep out sunlight in the early mornings. Beds are ok. Amenities were great. TVs worked well, AC was great too. Overall it was worth it for the location but could use some updates.

Loved Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

Overall, we were happy here and the owner's communication was wonderful. We had 2 adults and a 4-year-old child: the house was the perfect size for us. (It may not work as well for more people or multiple older kids)
An easy walk to the beach. We loved sitting outside on the covered porch at the picnic table. We wish we could have made use of the outdoor shower but the area around it was flooded and there was no path to get there. (There was a lot of road construction too, so it was a bit messy and dusty outside--not at all in the control of the homeowners)
I greatly appreciated that the owner reminded us that they only provide some starter things (a trash bag, a roll of toilet paper, some soap, a roll of paper towels)--so that we came prepared.

This was a nice getaway trip in celebration of my daughter’s second birthday! Everything in the home was just as the pictures showed online. It was clean, in a quiet & safe location, and very convenient to the pool and other close by shops. Communication was very quick and precise with the property owner. I would like to stay here again and highly recommend!

This was the perfect proprty for us. It is a shory walk to beautiful white beach and tons of restaurants/ stores. Very clean and nice frint stoop to watch sunrise / sunset.

Small house in a great location. Just a block off the beach and close to shops and restaurants. How was clean and adequate for what we needed.
4.9
No communication, TV would not stream, Hot at night and cold during the day no matter what the air was on, construction all around that we weren’t informed about. It was clean enough but not excessive. Just okay stay!
4.9
This was an awesome cottage for our family. The check in and check out was super easy. It was well equipped for cooking. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
4.9
Just what I expected.
4.9
The property was clean and very close to everything, beach, food, and activities. The host is very prompt should an issue arise-we noticed the dishwasher had a minor problem and messaged her and she had it fixed same day. I would recommend bringing some extra laundry supplies depending on length of stay, you get a starter pack but with a family of little ones we did laundry a bit more frequently
4.9
Very nice property! Close to beach and food!

The cottage was in a decent location regarding proximity to the beach and main road to get in and out of Gulf Shores. The owner was very responsive to our request for having the bathroom sink unclogged and our request for dish soap to clean dishes that had stuck-on food/drink particles. Someone came the same day to fix the clog and deliver dish soap for scrubbing. There was a dirty sponge on the sink that I opted not to use. Sponges are inexpensive and each guest should have a brand new one to use for helping do their part to keep dishes clean. Putting my hands on and cleaning with a dirty sponge is undesirable. I felt like I needed to handwash every dish/utensil I used. This was disappointing. The flooring and bathroom appeared clean, which was a plus. I feel like this unit, based on the cleanliness and attention to detail, should have been priced significantly lower. Again, the owner responded to our requests and check-in was very easy. However, I would not stay at this cottage again.

Perfect, clean and accommodating beach house. 5/5
4.9
Location was great, cottage was clean and comfortable. The only negative is that there were absolutely no extras. No dishrag to wash dishes (dishwasher pods, yes), no spices, cleaning supplies, or the other "extras" that we have found to be normal in all the other VRBO homes we've stayed in. Also, missed having a guest book to sign in and read what others have said. Overall, the stay was great and I would recommend to others.

This is our 3rd time to this area. We love it down here. The spot is perfectly close to everything, no matter which direction you are going. The place had the basics in the kitchen to make your own meals. Each time the property manager has always been quick and easy to reach when needed. We will be back again.

The cottage was easy to find and close to the beach. It was clean and ready for our stay. The host communicated with us whenever we had a question. There was construction going on next door, but the crew didn't start work until 8am or so. Very thoughtful! It was a wonderful experience! We would HIGHLY recommend.

We love the area that this is located. It’s only a couple of minutes to walk to the beach. The house is very comfortable and has an excellent kitchen for preparing meals, nice TVs for entertainment and the internet worked without any issues. Super friendly hosts, an overall excelllent experience!

The little house was cleaned excellent. The 4 towels were, let’s say could have been a bit newer. 3 wash rags ( unit slept 4)
Coffee pot needs cleaned desperately with vinegar!
Otherwise was very simple no xtras.construction next door that wasn’t in the ad. They start work 7am. I asked if beach rented chairs & umbrellas, owner did not know!! They do till end of October !
I might go back in the future.

Just like described. Close to everything. The beach was just a short walk, food was close the house was clean and came with everything we needed. A quick Walmart pick up and we were set.

Absolutely loved the being able to come and stay at this cozy beach getaway! It was wonderful, and absolutely enjoyable. Less than a mile from the beach, and in a fantastic spot around the local eats, entertainment, and shopping!
We did have something to reach out to the owner about, but she was very quick to respond, and was very great to work with.
Did notice there were quote a few scuffs on the wall between the bedrooms, and rust on the bath curtain.
Outside of that, for the price it was an extremely nice place to stay! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a close spot to the beach!

The location is fantastic! The public beach access is a short and easy walk directly accords the road. The beach itself has chair and umbrella rentals readily available, as well as banana boat, parasailing, and jet ski rentals right at this public access point. There is a convenience store and surf style around the corner that carries groceries, beverages, beach supplies, and souvenirs. The road itself is low traffic and quiet. No fighting for parking at this rental, as there is plenty of space directly in front of the home. The layout of the rental is simple but perfect for what we needed. Everything was clean, upgraded, and stylish! All appliances worked as they should. Beds were comfortable. TVs were great quality. Check in and out process was so very easy. The host messaged instructions well in advanced and we did not have any troubles during our stay. I look forward to staying here again, thank you!

My husband and I took our one year old here for a beach vacation. This cozy home couldn’t have been more perfect. It was the perfect size for us. Not only was the home itself clean and comfortable, but the location couldn’t be more perfect! You get a “quiet” feel away from traffic but still walking distance to anything you will need- beach included! We loved our stay and would recommend to anyone.

A very beautiful cottage! It was booked for our honeymoon and was our first experience with VRBO. It's in a central location to a lot of restaurants and right off the beach. We walked almost everywhere. We definitely recommend thia location!
