Home was very clean. Host was very accommodating and quick to respond. Great proximity to the beach. Quiet area. Only 2 beds were usable. The bunk beds were open to the entrance stairs and the couch bed was broken. We had it work for our family, but wish there had been 1 more bed.

Alabama stay

The property was great. Only complaints were that the tv would switch to sponge Bob often and we did not ever have a Wi-Fi password. We would definitely go back.

Great place for vacation

The beach house has lots of space and is in a great location just outside busier part of Gulf Shores. Private beach access was very close and easy to cross street with kids. Lots of beach toys. Property was clean. Host responded quickly and was friendly. Great experience!

Great location-be prepared for trouble communicating

The condo is nice and is in a fabulous location for beach access!! We were very disappointed in the ability to get a response from the owner. We arrived and did not have many items provided that we would have expected. There were 7 people staying for 5 days. We were given 2 trash bags and 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom that the entire time. There was no hand soap in any of the bathrooms either. Therefore we had to go purchase many items that we expected would be provided to us. I did email the owner day one of our visit asking if we could get more trash bags but never got a response. I believe this is a good vacation spot, but I feel that the owner needs someone to manage the property for them.
