The property and setting were absolutely beautiful. Pool, tennis courts and beach we’re all we had hoped for. Beautiful gated community.

Last summer (2022) my family had a different Vacasa home rented, then one week prior to check-in we were informed the home would not available (!!) We were re-assigned to Doctors Orders and actually ended up loving it - the home is great, especially because the pool next door was perfect for the 6 small kids with us. So this summer we rented Dr's Orders again (mostly for the pool!) but with no heads up and only upon arrival did we see the pool was under major construction and wouldn't be available. We called Vacasa to ask to be moved to a comparable house with a pool but there were no good options last minute. The Vacasa employees I spoke to over the phone were rude and wouldn't take responsibility. It was clear no one had come out to check status of the pool remodel based on their comments. They said things like "well it's raining today so I doubt you can use the pool anyway" and "this just happened, it's not our fault". I have to disagree - I believe it's the property manager's responsibility to monitor their properties to ensure they meet customer expectations. After several calls they ended up refunding us $500 on an $8k rental and said it's "the best they can do". Lesson learned: after back-to-back years with last minute unexpected changes to my rental, I won't be using Vacasa next year.

Perfect stay for our group! Exceeded our expectations for both inside the home and out! plenty of room to spread out, beach right across the road, pool directly beside home. Lagoon just a short walk away. Our family/friends love to fish, so we're a little disappointed extended length of pier wasn't rebuilt, but still had enough room to fish. We had one plumbing issue during our stay. Tre, property care taker for Vacasa, had someone out to check within an hour. Both Tre and the young man who came out to check the problem were wonderful! Everyone agrees this will definitely be a place to stay again!

We loved the house. The location is great! From the balconies you can see in every direction from sunrise to sunset. Watching our family when they were at the pool, the tennis court and the boardwalk that leads to the beach is a great advantage. It is very spacious and the decor is very nice.

Everything we always wanted in a vacation rental and space galore!

We had a wonderful time, the house and location were perfect. Being right next to the pool and walk to the beach was awesome.

The pictures posted are the OLD pics. If you think they are great, then you will be floored when you see the new and improved Doctor's Orders. It is an "Amazing" property....one of our best visited! There were a few glitches with the television, dated bikes and the ice makers as it appears to be in the final stages of updating. Vacasa took care of us. Have fun at the awesome pool next door, the view from the balcony, the convenience of an elevator, the space with privacy, and the short walk across the street to the beach. I'm a travel agent and know when "This is it". This is it!

All the space! Everyone had their own bathroom! My favorite thing was to take my daily nap on the outdoor beachside balcony upstairs… and the sound of the ocean and all of us agreed those were THE MoSt comfortable beds we had ever slept on. Our teenagers, their families who came to visit(with MORE teenagers) agreed this was THE best spot in Gulf Shores. Love that there’s no stores, arcades, etc. enjoy what you have! We all loved it. Best vacation ever!

Good

This was a great home! We did have a problem with lots of construction work on the home when we were there because they were tearing the roof off. It was pretty noisy and slightly dangerous walking outside. Vacasa took care of us though and made it right which was great. The house was wonderful though besides the construction. We would stay there again as long as the construction work is all done. 😂

We’ve stayed in several of their houses in this neighborhood. This Home offered all of the essential amenities, was close to the beach as well as the community pool.

The location is beautiful, private. Water views from both the front and the back of the house. Right next to the pool. Doesnt sleep as many people as indicated but good and ample space.

This house was a great place for our family to stay. It is spacious. It came with great things for the beach in the garage and plenty of plates and dishes in the kitchen. The location was so close to the beach, pool, and tennis courts, and the neighborhood is good.

We had a great time and the house was perfect. It’s location was perfect. Hope to return in the near future.

Doctor’s Orders was the perfect fit for our family. Everyone had a great time. Steps away from the beautiful beach and pool. Clean and overall well stocked.

Great home. The owner would want to know that there is a leak from the roof in the master bedroom. After it rained, water dripped on the occupant's head.

The house was absolutely perfect! It’s located right next to the pool and tennis courts and right across the street from the beach. The house had all of the essential needs. There was plenty of space for our whole family. Garage was perfect for storage and the elevator made loading and unloading so easy! Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

This house was perfect for your family vacation! We had 4 generations together, 10 adults and 7 kids from 10 to 9months. We did use a couple of mattresses on the floor for the little boys. But the room off the master upstairs was perfect for that, with their own tv. We used the pool and were so grateful for the extras in the garage for the kids. The elevator was a surprise, but it was so handy with the loads of things we brought with us. With the full sized washer dryer, we were even able to leave for home with the laundry finished! WE LOVED GULF SHORES , BUT TO HAVE YOUR OWN BEACH, PRICELESS! We really hated to leave.
Thank you Vacasa and the owners of The Doctor's orders!

The house was packed with amenities...it had everything you need! We loved the size and privacy of each room. We were right next to the pool and had an ocean view. You really couldn’t ask for a better location!We did not want to leave.

Clean big and lots for room, We had 12 adults and we all had room to move

Comfortable, well equipped home in a great location. Easy access to pool, tennis court and beach. Vacasa was quick to respond to our needs.

Close to beach and pool and enjoyed the beach cart!

Wished my orders were for a longer stay. But it worked. I had family come into town to attend the “Celebration of Life” for the Love of my Life. And Doctors Orders gave me the perfect resting place as the events unfolded. We enjoyed the house so so very much. Relaxing in the jetted tub was just what the Doctor Ordered!! This home is absolutely inviting for grownups has well as the children. Thank you Doctor 🙏❤️🙏

Was more than enough room for family. Convenient and perfect location.

This super nice house was great for my family. The pool and tennis courts are right next door. The beach access is right across the street. The neighborhood has a gate, which keeps traffic to a minimal. My daughter learned to ride her bike. The beach was not crowded. The house was clean and had everything we needed and more.

We all enjoyed the user friendly home and localization. We would use this location again in the future.

Great

The entire environment was beautiful....peaceful...clean...accommodating and very welcoming. The view was absolutely breath taking. Easy access to the beach and pool in an upscale neighborhood. The house was definitely the best choice I could have made for my family and will book again...!!!

Everything from booking to check in to check out was as simple as it gets. This house was amazing. It’s locates in a private gated community and I didn’t realize how convenient the location of this house was until I saw other people traveling by golf cart or walking to the private boardwalk to the beach that was literally right across the street from the house. Only people in this community has access. It is also right next to the community pool everyone else has to get to. Plenty of sleeping space. The house has almost everything you need for an amazing beach experience so please look in the garage and take advantage of the tools there. The outdoor showers helped a lot with keep sand outside. The only issue we had was the washer did not work but I called and the property owner came the next day with plenty of towels. We really appreciated that. There is a 18 min drive up to where restaurants and stores are but we came during the COVID-19 pandemic so we didn’t need to go anywhere after we got groceries, so the trip was PERFECT FOR ALL of my family. We plan to come back soon.

We absolutely love this place.... enough room for kids to run and play, close to beach for easy access!! Pool right beside house which was awesome!! The house was very clean and elegant!!! Not out dated at all... we WILL stay here again next year. The convenience alone was worth every penny!!
