We had the best girls trip! The host was very responsive and quick acting, we had small problem with AC but she got someone here and it was fixed by the time we got back from the beach. It truly could not have been better location as the beach access was right out of the driveway. The place itself was beautiful and so clean! definitely recommend staying here!

Home was clean and in a great location. There’s 2 pools on the property. I don’t recall it stating the home was in a neighborhood with shared pools (that could have been made clearer). There were sand/swimming items for kids that were most likely left behind from other renters that we could use. Other than that and some kitchen items I wouldn’t consider this home kid friendly. Limited apps are downloaded to the tv’s. When I asked for the code so we could download Disney I was asked to supply a screenshot (which I did) and then nothing ever was supplied or fixed. The smoke alarm started chirping one morning and the handyman was called to fix it the same day. There’s a store, restaurant and beach access all within walking distance. Location is great if you are looking to relax!!

This was our 2nd time in Gulf Shores but this location was by far the best! It was SO roomy and fit everyone comfortably. It was very clean and it was so close to the beach! The pool was great as well! Had all the things you need for your stay and for the beach! Best week ever!
