The Courthouse
Overall good house, very clean, a bit worn but lots of space. Beds were comfortable and easily accommodated our party of 15. Location can’t be beat if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores and right on the beach. Only complaint was no grill, the one in the picture is inoperative and should be removed from listing. We left the little charcoal grill we bought from Walmart for future visitors.

Beautiful home with BREATHTAKING views
We had a girls trip at this house and as soon as I opened the front door I was met with the most beautiful view straight to the gulf. The rooms are all large and the beds are comfortable! I would definitely recommend this house and would stay again!

Wonderful place to enjoy the gulf!
The property was as described. We had three families and 14 people 8 kids 6 adults. The bedrooms were perfect for our kids and balcony rooms for the the adults. My parents stayed in the lower level with the whirl pool. Plenty of room for us and the second fridge made stocking up with food for our stay very convenient. One thing we were surprised about was the lack of dish towels and drying towels. We picked up some and left them there for the next guests.

The Courthouse
Six adults and five teenagers had a great stay at The Courthouse! There are plenty of beds and baths so no one felt crowded. The upper and lower decks provided sheltered views of the beach with lots of seating. Having two refrigerators made it very convenient to store a weeks worth of food for us all. The house is in an uncrowded area, yet only 15 minutes to groceries, shopping and entertainment. We ventured a little over an hour away to watch the Blue Angels practice in Pensacola. Highly recommend!

Large beach house, wonderful quiet location
We visited the area with my family to celebrate my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. This home has lots of space for everyone. Four bedrooms are designed for couples with an attached bathroom for each bedroom. Two rooms worked well for the kids to sleep, one of the rooms also having it's own bathroom as well. The location was amazing and away from the business of Gulf Shores with the ability to walk right out to the beach and take in all that is involved with a beach vacation. It is about 20+ minutes drive from Gulf Shores, grocery, and restaurants. The only drawback we experienced is the old gas grill could not hold heat to grill out. Some of this may have been due to the windy weather that affected the grill. If you are staying more than a couple of nights, make sure to bring extra paper towels, dishwasher tablets, and possibly some toilet paper as only a starter supply was provided.

A very pleasant experience.
My family and I stayed for a long weekend in early January 2024. We arrived in the dark and rain. The gravel road to the house is a little tricky to see but it is marked with a Vacasa sign and the house number. The house was warm and very clean when we arrived. It was set up just the way you might have a vacation property with all the necessary blankets towels dishes etc. We were very pleased to find plenty of pots, pans, utensils etc as we planned to cook most of our meals. The kids (9-11) squealed with delight at the sight of the beach and ocean. They had a great time exploring the house. The location was exactly what we were looking for. Very quiet and off the beaten path but still within a short drive to all the tourist attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed walking out the back door and onto the beach. We fully intend to visit again.

Not the house I thought I was renting
It wasn't a blue house like the picture. It was tan and you didn't show all the high steps to get in the front door. I am disabled and it was very hard for me to get up them. You should have shown the front of the house so people could see how steep the steps are. My sister slipped and almost fell down them. They are very slippery. If I had known I would not have rented it. I will rent from local companies from now on so I can ask questions before I rent.

What Might Have Been
Safe and nestled so closely to the beach, the Courthouse has so much potential. Two fridges to feed everyone is perfect! Space for our mini family gathering of 12 was plentiful, while our excitement gathered, it waned as we realized the home is older and noticeably so.  The interior spaces were big and open full of sunlight; however, there are no blackout curtains so no escaping the brightness. This place has so much potential but not loved.  Many fixtures were broken, hanging on or just missing. The air conditioners were clearly aging, and requesting families keep the thermostat at 74 degrees is not unreasonable; however, you should provide oscillating or box fans for each room to aid in the airflow at night since not all ceiling fans were working.  All of the patio furniture was just a giant disappointment.  Many of them were either broken or the panels were falling off resulting in smashed or pinched fingers. The paint had begun to come off of all pieces also, leaving your clothes and skin covered.  In our previous rentals the homes all had some mix of beach accessories, ie tents, beach chairs, beach wagon, a basket with beach towels or some combination of those.  This one had nothing, not one of those items. This is the first time we have used Vacasa, paying luxury price for 3 nights and getting budget product was a missed opportunity reviews we have read with some of their other rentals, Vacasa uses a very low cost management approach with their properties.  Paying

Not kept up
disappointed with Vacasa. We’ve stayed at their properties before but we were disappointed with this home especially for the price. Not one tv worked when we got there and it wasn’t until Thursday that only 2 worked. The dryer was broken, the fridge (which now I saw was in a review forever ago!!) doesn’t close properly. There’s no ice maker, the dishwasher is falling apart. Not one closet had a light that worked. The home wasn’t cleaned well and there were even ripped sheets. We honestly felt like no one had kept up with this property and we were the ones having to make the to do list of everything that needed to be done on this property! Big disappointment for people that come on vacation ready to relax and play. For half of the price we would’ve been fine with this home especially considering the location but for top dollar it was disappointing.
