A week of bliss

I could go on and on about how wonderful our stay was at the Sandy Ranch. From the beautiful view of the Gulf to the kitchen being supplied with everything you could possibly need to prepare any meal your heart desires. The bedrooms are large and everything smelled fresh and clean. A separate ice making machine, was a bonus. There were 9 of us and every single person was very satisfied. The carpet really needs to be replaced. It was clean but very very worn. Also we would have preferred a charcoal grill rather than a gas grill but NOTHING detracted from a great week with my family. It is a great house. If we decide to back to gulf shores, we will try to rent the Sandy Ranch

Potential 5 star property!

The Sandy Ranch is a beautiful beach house that needs some TLC! We loved the location away from the condos. It was so peaceful. The house is roomy with lots of open spaces and expansive ocean views. The carpets throughout the home need cleaning/replacing and the sofa slipcovers were dirty. Small improvements would make a big difference.

Overpriced House for the condition

The property location was great. The property was beachfront with amazing views from decks. The price of the house for a week was way out of line to the care of the house. The door jams were all beat up and hard to lock doors and even close them. There were nails and screws that had backed out of deck boards very dangerous for the little ones. The upkeep of the house has not been maintained as far as paint peeling the tables in kitchen were beat up, cushions on chairs needed replaced. The couch in living room the covers were dirty the housekeeping does not clean the floors good in the kitchen under the edge of frig and sink had not been mopped in a long while. This house was very roomy but it is way overpriced and pictures does not show all that. I have been renting beach houses for along time this is by far the worse condition house for the money. This house should have been in mint condition for that amount of money. This sure does make for a bad review for vrbo thats who I booked through.

Happy Beach House

House is roomy with lots of useful items and dishes in the kitchen. Close to the sand and water. We had a great time on the deck and enjoyed meals.
