Long Weekend Getaway

This property is conveniently located and as listed is easy walking distance beach access. It was the perfect space for 2 couples. The large covered porch is an added bonus for when the weather isn’t ideal or just to relax on. Overall cleanliness of the property was excellent upon arrival. It would be helpful for there to be a small broom provided on property to clean any sand that’s tracked inside the throughout the stay.

Our stay for Daughters College golf tournament in Gulf Shores. March 2-4th 2025

Perfect cottage for us . cute & quaint 2 bed 1 bath. I picked because of location for our needs of this trip.we walked to the waffle house for breakfast in the mornings. A block over was our beach access. It was quite. We were at the golf course most of the time during our stay. There is also a little store on the corner. Parade was a block over but we were at the GC during that time. We enjoyed our stay. It was 5 doors from a teammates family house so i had an idea of what kinda area & vibe that would be a place my hubby could just relalx. He could careless about the beach. Everyone else stayed at the other end & it sounded like it wasn't quite as peacefully. They were right on the beach. I didnt really see any kids around but we were gone alot and they were in schools during our trip. It also was nice to sit on the deck. You can see a peek a boo of the ocean thur one of buildings on a clear day. Hubby said it was perfect for just us two.

Nice place to stay if you're a early riser while there's construction.

The house was nice. It was small good for two three people. Our driveway and the road was under construction which was not revealed to us until we got there and saw it. It was noisy from 7:00 in the morning till 5:00. We couldn't sit on our front porch because it was so noisy and Dusty from the construction. Our last two days we couldn't park in the driveway because they were working on our driveway.

Don’t do it.

Felt like I was visiting my younger brother at college. One roll of toilet paper for a four night stay. Zero amenities. House was in a construction zone with a massive irrigation pipe blocking the driveway. Random guy stopped by to change the furnace filter on day two. Blender was broken. Ghetto.
