Family vacation

This is a great place for a family vacation. The beach is just a few steps from the back deck, and the view from the back of the house is beautiful. The beds could use updating as they don't seem to be queen size as advertised, and they aren't very comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

Relaxing Stay

My family had a wonderful time at this lovely beach house! The view was breathtaking, perfect and easy walk to beach right from porch. The couch in the living room is so cozy and perfect for family of 4 watching movies and taking naps. There were more than enough bedrooms and extra beds. Two families could easily stay here together. Both decks were perfect for sitting relaxing eating. Plenty of kitchen equipment for cooking meals. Small details and fixes we recommend but shouldn’t keep anyone from staying: master bathroom caulking had some mold at baseboard edge of tub need to be cleaned up, master bedroom bed was very squeeky and wakes you if you move around too much. Lamp outlets didn’t work. Several outlets around the house did not work and need to be replaced. Closets need hangers OR more shelves to make them more useful closet in the kitchen and bedrooms. If they fix up some of these details we would stay again.

Nice location on the beach. The place is in desperate need of updating. Faucets run contentious with a few roaches. Everything needs paint and updated. Enjoyed our time with family but if your looking for luxurious living please pass on this one.

Family gathering

For this trip, we rented both sides of the property. First the good. The location was perfect for us. The view from the porch doesn't get better. There were 22 of us and the house was plenty spacious. We did not want to use the pull out sofas in the living rooms and it was not necessary. We ranged in age from 9 to 90. The beds were average, but comfortable enough. The main complaint for both sides was in the kitchen. If the owner/manager would spend just a little to upgrade a few of the pots, pans and utensils, it would go a long way. For example, the skillets were peeling Teflon and some of the large plastic bowls had holes in them. There was a vacuum cleaner on only one side and it didn't work unless you just used the hose connection. Both sides had a tiny broom which was really the only thing to keep the sand swept up. All that said, everyone agreed we'd go back in a heartbeat!

Great location but needs maintenance and cleaning

Great beachfront location. Needs maintenance. The heating on the top floor did not work. That was tough on a cold night (40 degrees). The beds were not clean. The sheets had a lot of body hair. One sheet had a small blood stain.

Called the day of check in early to be shure everything was good. Check in was 4 got there no power called was told power would be on shortly 9:38 got a different place and hassled by the local police while trying to find it and got a different property that was not beach front said that was all they had. The following day road the beach and they had multiple beach front properties that were vacant with power. Youngs sun coast is the worst if you're coming to Gulf Shores use someone else

Girls Trip 2020

We had a great time and liked that the house was right there on the beach, the house was big enough for the 8 people. The only complaint we had was there was not dish soap for the first night for doing pans etc..., after traveling all day no one wanted to go to the store right away and that was something not put in to things to pack with us either. It also would have been nice to have more towels. Other than that we had a great time.
