Three adults and a small dog

The unit is conveniently located and very clean with nearly all of the anticipated furnishings. Ideally for us, the amenities would include additional TV’s. My group included my mentally handicapped son who enjoys television and we were indoors due to weather for a couple of days so the situation was exacerbated. Two of the octogenarians found the entry steps challenging but admittedly this comment may influenced by our ages.

Great Home, Great Location

My husband and I had a great stay here, celebrating his recent retirement. The home is clean, comfortably furnished and very conveniently located near the beach and many shops and restaurants. There were plenty of dishes, towels, blankets, pillows, etc. We loved that it was in a neighborhood setting, making it easy to get out and walk the dogs and not have to worry about heavy traffic. We would definitely look to stay here again, the next time we are in Gulf Shores!

Wind and Sea

The property was just as seen in photos. The kitchen was adequately stocked for home cooking. Air conditioner worked too good! Hosts were responsive to the sticking door issue that has appeared in several reviews. They had handyman there in less than 24 hours. Bring your own blow dryer and hand soap. Washer and dryer work nicely as does dishwasher. Home is well kept considering it's age. Thanks for a pleasant stay. Door sticking is why check in got 4 stars.

Wind and Wave Is a Great Spot

This is a great property, conveniently close to all of our favorite Gulf Shores locations and just a short walk to the public beach (Literally, over a half block and up one block to safely cross the main street at a stoplight / crosswalk). We stayed at the end of the summer season in August, so there were a few wear and tear things that were likely just a matter of being used all summer, but otherwise, it was perfect for our family. Fantastic communication, easy check-in / check-out, and a great experience start to finish.

Great location

Great location, the house was big enough for our family of 5! My only complaint is the trash can was left full downstairs so we could not use the downstairs amenities because it smelled of rotten food and Extra supplies were not provided. Toilet paper/trash bags. One trash bag and no extra rolls of toilet paper we’re left for us! We ran out and had to go to the store to buy extras. Overall our stay was pleasant!

Great place for friends or family trip!

The property is located within walking distance of the beach but is tucked away from the busyness of the large condominiums. The interior is comfortable, AC was cold, and the hosts were responsive and helpful. Our group has been taking trips together for 6 years in a row now and this was the most hassle-free, relaxing, and enjoyable place we have stayed! Highly recommend.

Family vacation with our pup!

The house is very easy to find with great access to the beach, restaurant and shopping. Very comfortable size and plenty of items to cook with for those that don’t want to eat out every night. The neighborhood was quiet which made it nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the scenery. Everything was in walking distance including the beach and if not within walking distance it was only a short drive away! Pictures are slightly different than in person but overall very happy with our stay here and would look forward to coming back in the future !

Perfect

This house did not disappoint. It was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We were able to walk to the beach with ease. We were close to everything. The upstairs deck got plenty of sun and underneath the house was nice and breezy. The only issue we had were the amount of towels. It was not a major problem since the washer and dryer worked perfectly and we just washed them. We would book this house again and again. The hosts answered our emails immediately.

Ideal Beach House

My family stayed at this house while our daughter competed in a Beach Volleyball tournament. We chose it due to the ease of walking distance to the beach and the quiet neighborhood.

From the moment we booked this house the host were super informative and responsive. They even allowed us to check in early which rarely happens when we travel. The house was clean, cute and cozy. My fur baby loved the back yard and my husband loved the location. It was around the corner from the liquor store and across the street from the beach. We will definitely stay here in the future.

Great location, good value

It was great having restaurants in walking distance. Publix was just 10 min away. The only downsides were the front door, which only open halfway and outlets in the bathroom don’t support a blow dryer. There are some cosmetic issues with the ceilings in the bathrooms. Wish we knew how to use Roku to get local channels,

Great spot

It was very easy checking in and out and out. My dogs liked the back yard and it’s two blocks from the beach. Plenty of kitchen and living room space. Outdoor shower is useful for the dogs and the sand from the beach. A couple of very minor cosmetic issues (like the front door isn’t perfectly squared) but we never tan out of hot water (a big deal to me), and we all had a great time
