Just spent a week at the house. Clean, well maintained house with a great location. Weather was cool so we had the beach to ourselves. Would highly recommend. This time of year Gulf Shores is very quiet.

Definitely not worth the amount of money we spent for our vacation. Air conditioner didn’t work, freezer broke, roof leaked and had extra house guest (cockroach). We did enjoy that it was right on the beach but disappointed in the house.

Overall it was a really good house! The two biggest things for us are….location to restaurants, stores, activities, entertainment and location to the beach/beach access, and both of those were GREAT! The ocean views from the living room plus a very quick walk to the beach was so nice! We could be to restaurants or stores within minutes which we also loved!The house itself is good! It has had some updates that are nice, but there are some small, mostly cosmetic issues that need to be addressed! The floor is a little soft in some places as well! I also think a covering or awning over the balcony area would make that sooo nice! Overall it was a great trip for our family of 6! We made memories and had a great time!

Great beach experience

The property was very clean, homey, and comfortable! Access to the beach was great, parking was easy. The driveway is hard to find in the dark so any sort of lighting by the driveway and mailbox would be helpful.

Pros and Cons for Beyond Blue

The house was very clean, it has beautiful views of the beach and Gulf. There’s a very nice kitchen with new quartz counters and appliances. The furniture in the living areas was comfortable and we enjoyed eating at the deck table every night. However there were some negatives— the deck has no roof or awning, limiting the use of that space. The upstairs bedrooms are small with no closets or storage. Also they are hot— AC doesn’t cool them adequately. Climbing over a tall dune made access to the beach difficult and the water was a hike from the house—a long walkover would have helped a lot. There were few basic supplies like salt, pepper, etc, no cookie sheet for heating large items, no beach towels. The outdoor shower didn’t work. We’ve paid this much for a larger house without these problems; unfortunately we would not rent Beyond Blue again.

Chill

House is older and not your high end granite and marble type place. If you are looking for that this isn’t it. Having said that… the beach views are amazing and you are right on the beach. It is away from the high traffic condo area so not crowded. The house is super cute, clean, well laid out and very comfortable. Absolutely nothing to complain about. We loved it!

Clean beach house. Nice view and very accessible to everything. No complaints. Only thing i can think of is that you might want curtains on the upstairs windows during the summer to keep it cool up there.
