We had a lovely vacation.

The location of this home is wonderful! We took full advantage of the pool and pier, with the weather being awesome. We were able to rent a pontoon for two days to park at the private pier and cruise up/down the lagoon! The home has a ton of space which was perfect for our large family, 11 people can spread out and have their own private space. The double doors that connect the two homes is very cool. Keep in mind the first floor bedrooms do not have their own TV, but that is not a big deal, just an fyi. We loved the fact that we could utilize both kitchens, laundry rooms, first floor bathrooms and family rooms. The guys watched football in one family room while the ladies cooked and chatted in the other. The lagoon views are amazing. The very close and easy walk to the beach is fantastic as well. Also, the walk down the bike path every morning was perfect to tire the pups out and also gave us all some exercise.Not far from eateries and all the wonderful things to enjoy in the Gulf Shores. Because of the pros of the location and size of home and etc., I only deducted one star because the house does need some work and is in need of a deep clean. The beds are very comfy but could use some new bedding and better pots and pans for cooking, if you are cooking as much as we did, as the ones there are not in great condition. Otherwise, the owner, Mr. Bill, struck me as very kind, enthusiastic and super communicative. He was so helpful and knowledgable of the area. He answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns very quickly. Makes all the difference! We had a great vacation.

W. Lagoon Stay! Bachelorette Party

The stay at West Lagoon was great for a large group of 19 girls. What wasn't on the description was how great the area underneath the deck by the pool was for games and hanging out in a shaded or covered area during rain. They two sides of the house are also connected which was fantastic if having a large party. Future guests should know - The house is note equipped with basic needs such as toilet paper, dish soap, paper towels, trash bags, etc. So if you do plan to host a large group for more than a day, do add these items to your shopping list - The pool is not enclosed by a fence or private -- so the next door neighbors do have access and can also see all that goes on underneath the house area, likewise with the dock area - EASY walk to the beach! Access is straight across lagoon, which is not as busy as it looks if you were to google earth it.

This host is a great location with a pier on the lagoon and an easy walk to the beach. The beach area near the house is so much less crowded than the beaches just a little to the east. Owner was very responsive and easy to contact.

Problems all over.

The owner seemed to understand that there were previously broken appliances all over the house (i.e. broken garbage disposal -> backed-up sink, washing machine, and dishwasher) and acted like he would fix them after our stay. However, another rental was scheduled directly after us and there was NO way they tried to fix these to make the next groups stay better. Also, there were holes/ streaks in the walls/ceilings and missing fire detectors. Finally, this property was advertised with a private pool, but we had to share it with neighbors. These problems were more annoying than anything else as we weren't expecting them, but the stay was good regardless.

Just what we hoped for!

Perfect location, lots of room, pool/pier set up fantastic, quick walk to the beach! This is exactly what we had hoped for during our time away my child's 10u soccer tourney. 6 players, 1 coach and representatives of each player's family all stayed together...wonderful memories were made here that our kids will take with them! Mr Bill was a great host and very quick to respond to any communication. Would highly recommend!

This place could be fantastic

Aug 2021 Rental I will start with the Pros which is the location and proximity to the beach, lagoon and all the local hot spots such as the Hangout. The pool was well maintained and clean! Unfortunately the Cons outweigh the Pros. The Cons include the dangerous and numerous steps leading from the house at each duplex down to the pool area. The owner needs to put some money into redoing the deck areas and the stairs. The deck area was not level and did not feel sturdy and was missing railings. The steps were numerous, felt unsturdy cause they were not level, the wood was worn and needs replacing. Both the deck areas in the front and the back of the house looked like there were plenty of code violations and a potential lawsuit for the Owner if those stairs and decks don't get repaired. The reason why we rented this place was because of the space so we rented both duplexes. The owner claims that the duplexes were just remodeled but we couldn't tell. On the right side of the duplex, the microwave didn't work properly and did not heat up food. On the left side of the duplex, there was a hole in the wall in the stairwell and numerous marks on the walls. On the left side of the duplex the dryer didn't work properly and took all day to dry anything. There were 16 people sharing both duplexes and not enough towels for everyone so we were constantly washing towels and with the dryer not working it took time out of our vacation having to dry the towels all day. These duplexes need new pots and pans because some of the pots were dirty and not properly cleaned., so I don't know where the $350 cleaning fee is going. The place smelled musty when we first arrived. Some of the beds were way too high off the floor and some of us literally had to jump onto the bed at night for bed, so beware if you are elderly or have a physical condition that prevents you from jumping onto the bed. The carpets in both duplexes looked dirty and dingy. The couches looked dingy and the dining table chairs were hard. There was not enough seating on the deck areas in both the front and back of the house and the "lounge chairs" in the pool area were wooden and hard so no one wanted to sit and "lounge" on them. We could not enjoy the bottom area at night because there was no lighting in the area towards the back of the house where the grill and pool were. We tried all the light switches and even tried to put a bulb in an old worn socket but we still didn't hav

Family Friendly & Dog Approved

My family and some of our close friends had a great week in this house. There were 14 adults, 2 teens, and 2 infants, so we utilized both sides of the duplex. The kitchens were some of the better stocked out of all the rentals in which we have stayed, and it was nice to have two laundry rooms. With the duplex doors open, we had a large space where everyone could pull up a chair for games or visiting, but we could also shut them off when the babies needed some quiet time. Two items I viewed slightly differently than the listing: beach accessibility was not great (had to walk several blocks and cross a busy road), and the house next door (and their 10 loud children) had access to our pool, which we thought was private for our unit. Otherwise, pretty much as described and the owner was very friendly. The small fence around the pool was nice, because we brought 2 dogs and it helped provide some containment for short times that they were outside.
