This is the second time we have stayed at Susan's sandcastle III and it's like coming home again. We love everything about this house! My mother who is handicapped and can't do stairs or a lot of walking can make her way around this house, inside and out,with no problems and can enjoy being with the family. The kitchen is perfect for big groups to cook and clean up is very easy. I love the fact that each bedroom has its own bathroom! The access to the beach is so easy! One of our favorite parts of the week was watching the blue Angels practice, we basically had the beach to ourselves and a private show almost every day! It was fantastic as usual!

We loved this place. It was like going to your grandmothers house if she lived at the beach. We had our family there for Thanksgiving and it was great. You can't beat the location and the house was beautiful and very well appointed. You will not be disappointed if you stay here. It had a little bit of everything for our family from ages 18 - 80. They were wonderful to work with and the communication was great. Can't recommend this place enough! STAY HERE!!!

Quiet, clean, well maintained and completely well equipped! The views were awesome. We couldn't have asked for anything more. It made our short (4 day) stay so much more relaxing to have everything we needed at our disposal. We won't look anywhere else for next year.

This was a four generation family. Our family vacation. Everyone had their own bedroom and private bathroom. The canopy at the end of the ramp was perfect. Private beach wonderful. Two dishwashers, two refrigerators, wonderful. When asked for two boosters, they were provided, two pack n plays, provided, insta pot, provided. Janie even came and took our family pictures at the beach. She was wonderful . As one of my grand son in laws said, I cannot think of anything else we could have wanted or needed. God truly provided it all. If there was a downside, it was the community pool. It was not being maintained. We arrived one day to four lounge chairs thrown in the pool, pool not cleaned and trash everywhere. The HOA needs to oversee that and apparently is not. Not the home owner’s fault. We were able to watch dolphins and the Blue Angels practicing. All in all, we were truly blessed and hated to leave. Our four great grandchildren LOVED the ocean. We are truly thankful for our Lord’s provision and for the owners sharing this place and Janie was great!

This was an amazing house! It was well equipped and plenty of room for 4 generations to gather together! Ages ranged 4-83. Everyone was happy! Thank you! Until next time💕

What to know: this property is about 20 minutes from the bustle of Gulf Shores proper, and for us that was perfect! Property/management: I felt it was EXACTLY as advertised. The group was professional, the manager (Janie) was easy to reach (we had one extremely small problem and she responded immediately) and communication was on point. Best of the many VRBO's I've ever rented. The house: We had a group of 21. Ranged from 70's to pre-teens. Plenty of room to spread out! When they say they have everything; they mean it. Excellent in that regard. The house design (as others have mentioned), is a little bizarre, but that takes nothing away from the quality of stay. Fantastic. The ONLY thing keeping me from upgrading this property from 4.9 to 5 is the mattresses. They are needing an upgrade. Not awful, but the beds can be a little creaky and it's obvious they are a little worn. This is NOT a deal breaker, and please don't read that into this review. The beach: Perfect. Your family has an entire area to themselves. Spread out. Play cornhole, spike ball, cam jam, whatever. Lay in the sun, get out the boogie boards, etc. It's perfect. You have a HUGE area to yourselves, and it makes for a great family vacation. The beach canopy they provide is the perfect touch. The beach location is the selling point indeed. Overall: Well worth the expense for a large family looking for a nice retreat!!

The property was amazing! We stayed here with 24 people (9 adults and 15 kids) over spring break and had a great time. Best features: - The layout! Each bedroom had its own bathroom and all the king suites had access to the deck. The large living area was plenty of space especially with the long table for eating/doing puzzles/playing cards/coloring. - The beach! The beach was amazing. We all loved having access to the beach right out the back doors. The ramp looks a little long on the pictures but it was SO nice to not walk up steps to and from the beach - The property manager! Janie was so amazing to work with. We've stayed at a number of vacation rental properties, and Janie was the best by far about responding to any issues. - The kitchen dishes, cookware, and utensils! We cooked every single night for all 24 people. There were PLENTY of dishes and a vast array of cookware and serving dishes. - The cleanliness/maintenance! This property was very clean and well-maintained. - The deck! We loved all the furniture on the deck as it essentially gave you another (huge) living space. Potential drawback: - It's slightly awkward (but still doable!) to access the beach without going through one of the 4 master bedrooms on the 2nd floor. This was not a problem for us, but I thought I should mention it. I *highly* recommend this house. If you are on the fence, I would rent it. You will not regret it!

This house was amazing. Beautiful and very clean. It was so roomy and every bedroom had a spacious bathroom. Loved the kitchen and the outside balconies. The property manager Janie Hambric went over and beyond her duty. She was so friendly and accommodating. We will definitely put this place as the best place we have been to yet. Thanks Janie for everything.
