Perfect for a little family get away

The property was perfect for our intended vacation of being on the beach, the back deck was large and even had space we could put a small splash pool for the kiddos! The walk to the beach is perfect and the views are beautiful! The beach was quiet not being near any big condo buildings. Communication was great we were able to navigate a few minor maintenance details, while there with quick response everytime! The house is sufficiently stocked for the basics! We would return here again in the future.

Great Family Vacay Bargain

The property could certainly use a little updating, but it was clean and everything worked properly (except some outdoor lighting). Great location right on the beach. Ample parking was a huge plus for us since we were all driving in from various locations to meet up. Our family enjoyed this vacay very much and we would stay here here again.

Great little spot on the beach!!

What a wonderful stay we had! I highly recommend this place for being right on the beach in Gulf Shores. This is not the newest place, but the location is EVERYTHING!! The owner was so responsive and answered every question and concern we had. We were two grandmas, who have been friends since high school and we enjoyed siting on the deck reading. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We will be back.

Wonderful!

We've been coming to GS for years and for the first time, we will repeat properties 2 years in a row. Love the beach access and it was never busy in front of the house. Well stocked kitchen with pods and pot coffee maker. Chairs and toys available. We loved eating on the covered deck every day. Natasha is a wonderful host!

Amazing time. This is our second time staying at this location in the past 4 years (due to covid and unavailability). Cannot beat the price and location - right on the beach. House is clean, AC works, hot/cold water, and great view from the balcony. This is our go to place in Gulf Shores.

Gulf Shores Vacation

We greatly enjoyed our stay. The house was as described and had plenty of space for our family of 5. The beach is just steps away with easy private access and was exactly what our family needed for fun and relaxation time. The owners were extremely responsive and easy to work with. We will certainly stay here again.
