The house here was not what we seen when we arrived.
We did not stay at this property because it wasn't fit to stay in. However the group that owns this property made it right. They put us in a much much nicer place. So after that it was a great trip.

Spring Break
I came on a spring break getaway with my granddaughter and her other grandma. The location was wonderful. We went to the beach, shopped, and ate out in several places. Overall, we had a great time. The house itself was not a real positive. There was a large gap under the door that could let in lots of undesirables. There were mouse droppings in the cabinets and bugs in the kitchen. The toaster was rusty, and we didn't feel safe using it. Needless to say, we bought plastic and paper or ate our meals out. I hope to come back to Gulf Shores, but wouldn't stay in the same place.

Lovely single family dwelling
The ac was extremely cold, much to my liking. The oven, stove, fridge, and plumbing all worked well. The washer, dryer, bbq pit, oak trees, and shaded area under the house were all bonuses. Plenty off street parking and we weren’t close to other houses, and we were a five minute walk from the beach. The downstairs outside shower was a huge convenience. It is on the small side but it worked well for my parents, my wife and I and our 17 and 9 year old daughters.

The location is decent, the place is dated.
The place ia dated and relies on lamps to light bed rooms. The oven went out during our stay and the repair man came and looked at it, but didnt fix it.

Homey, clean and comfortable with a short walk to the beach
The house isn't fancy but clean and comfortable beds and nice shower. It has a feeling of home. We appreciated the tips in what to take to make the stay an enjoyable one. There was a problem with having to reset a breaker for the a/c but we would consider staying again sometime.

This property was located in very quiet neighborhood and not far at all from the beach access, easy walking distance and not too busy roads to cross. It was good size for family of four. Easy check in and check out process.

someone screwed up
we moved into a mold infested place the property management company missed the fact that the ac ducts below the house we saturated and created a mold infested environment. our 1st 2 employees moved out after 2 days, sick as dogs, coughing. we got a hold of the owner. he hired us to fix everything. we did. cleaned up the yard and completed many repairs. location is awesome. its an old school house but much better now! we are back for another month for finalize it all for the next renters. property managers should do better.

Family vaca
This was our summer trip with me, my husband and 2 girls. They are 6 and 11. The property was in a perfect location for walking. We loaded up the wagon and we were at the beach within 3 minutes. The girls loved having their own room. The kitchen was open and spacious. The laundry room downstairs was a great place to store the wagon after getting back from the beach. Overall, this house was super!!!!

Good location
House was in a good location within a short walk to canal or beach. Good size for a family of four. Quiet neighborhood just off main road. It could use a little updating (minor maintenance) and a deep cleaning, but wouldn’t rule out staying again.

Was overall ok. Not great, not bad. Washer and dryer was outside which is not mentioned in description. No outside water hose to rinse yourself off after getting off the beach. Good beach access, and the lagoon is right behind the house which is nice.
