Sony’s R.

we a family of 3 with total of 11 members stayed at the Palmetto house. it was so disappointing and inconvenience when we came to know that there is an outdoor grill, but wont provided the propane gas to use it and we need to bring our own gas options if the outdoor grill needs to be used. Absolutely no point of providing the guest with a grill as we were travelling from Texas to the Gulf shores.The rooms were clean and comfortable apart from 1 of the bedroom which was too congested for a couple to accommodate with their belongings. Overall experience was good with a good outdoor backwater experience.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The location was exactly what we expected. The fishing pier was a nice touch for the men in our group & the gated/fenced in balcony off the living room was great to have with small children. Plenty of room for parking, showers to rinse off the sand from the beach outside & not a far drive from public beach access. The property as an overall is kind of dated on the inside but that was not an issue for our group at all. We did have an issue with the cleanliness of the property, the dishwasher & hornet nests on the balcony during our stay. However, with that said we contacted the host & they immediately were in contact with us offering solutions. Communication was excellent!!!

Wonderful stay!

The Palmetto House was a great place to stay. It was close to the beach, close to the concert venue we were attending in Gulf Shores (walking distance), it had everything we needed, the views were nice from the balcony, it had lots of space for our family of 7, and was reasonably priced.
