House was amazing at a wonderful location. Kids loved it due to beach access and pool.We all just felt there could’ve been little more utensils. Wine opener was broken, so we had to buy one. We would love to visit this place again.

Love the location and privacy! Perfect lay out for our different families. Lots of room! Love bathrooms in all bedrooms! The house was somewhat dated and could use some upgrades! Had problem with air in one room and maintenance worker came promptly. Very cordial but was unable to fix the problem. There were some issues that needed to be addressed. Number one was the faulty electrical outlets! Very loose. Several fell off and one wouldn’t work at all! All in all we enjoyed our stay! Great communication with owners. We stayed here in 2023 and there was much improvement from then. We just really like the space and rooms!

Great location poorly stocked and bad appliances

The house was very beat up furniture and the appliances all were in poor working order. Maintenance was called and they came out but could not fix the issues. The kitchen had very little to none dishes and cookware. We had to go purchase paper plates and forks, spoons to accommodate the number in the house. For the pice d the number this house sleeps the supplies provided was very small. The house needs to be restocked and taken a little better care of.

Our stay

Every couple of years about 20 family members from all over the country choose a place to visit this year it was gulf shores Everyone had a great time. The house does need a very much needed update. The furniture was worn, the mattresses were uncomfortable, the flooring was not patched well, definitely could use a painting

Good space

The number of rooms was great for our family. The large size of dining tables was a plus. BUT too few chairs and the upholstered cushions were terrible, should have been redone years ago! The furniture in the 3rd floor living room needs to be cleaned. I was able to wash the slip cover of 1 chair which gave me a safe place to sit. The kitchen only has 1 refrigerator and only 1 dishwasher. the stove has only 4 burners. The laundry spce was almost a large as a bedroom, but only 1 washer and dryer! for a house as large as this, more appliances are needed. We did enjoy the large pool. And of course the Gulf is wonderful.

5 stars is not enough!

I cannot say enough about how great the Harris Vacation team was. The house was everything and more that a family of 26 needed. Besides being right on the beach the house was huge. Each level had not only a living space with ample sitting area but there was also large open areas which were great for the little ones to play in. As for the Harris Team they responded quickly to our needs. We could not get the elevator to work and within an hour or two there was a person to get it worked on. Also, one of the living room tv"s stopped working. A worker came out that day and determined it could not be fixed. They brought a new one the next day. I was pleasantly surprised at the well stocked kitchen as far as plates, glasses, pans, etc. I think I counted 4 coffee pots. Oh and 2 refrigerators. They have a separate ice maker but that was not the best. Lastly, I have rented many vacation homes and this by far was the easiest cleanup. I have spent hours in other homes doing as the contract states. This house you emptied all the garbage and put your dirty towels in your bathtub or shower. EASY. So, thank you for that!! I would love it if Harris Vacation rentals were world wide! To Harris Vacation...THANK YOU!

Gulf Shores Family Vacation

Our family stayed in this unit over the holiday. There were three families in total and 13 adults/children aged 16 and older. The layout of the unit and location on the beach were great, and there was more than enough space for everyone to gather together or stay to themselves. We did run into a few issues within the unit (dryer and ice maker did not work upon arrival and bathroom electrical outlets went out a few days into our stay); however, the property manager was very responsive, communicated with us regarding our concerns and seemed genuinely invested in ensuring we enjoyed our stay. Maintenance replaced the dryer and got the outlets working, but I am not sure about the ice maker as it rarely made ice. We would definitely stay here again but do feel there should be some upgrades made to the unit. Several pieces of furniture should be replaced (cushions in dining room chairs were sagging or wobbly to sit in, side rails of beds fell off repeatedly in more than one bedroom and one chair even broke) and the walls could definitely use some paint or touch up in areas (graffiti on the laundry room wall and areas where there were holes on walls or ceilings that could have been patched up). We would also recommend adding a few chairs to the lower patio deck. Overall, we were very pleased with our experience and enjoyed our stay.

Needs upgrades

I will start by saying when we arrived it was such a disappointment. We could not get in because the code wouldn't work. When we did get in with a new code, one of the bathroom sinks was stopped up, the sofa bed on the 3rd floor was filthy, water was linking in one of the bathrooms so bad that we had to put towels on the floor, mattress pad on one room was dirty, etc. Beautiful on the outside and, great beach location but the house was a disappointment to us. We drove 10 hours!!!!!!!
