Great property with great location. There was a few issues with the floors (weak spots). However, what I appreciate is that the owner quickly notified us of the issue, and was very honest and willing to work with us to make our stay pleasant! Would definitely stay again, based on owners response to messages and overall quality of house and his customer service!

Peaceful Paradise!
This property is a dream! It’s located just a block off the beach, so it’s much more quiet and private than a place on the beach, but easily within walking distance! It’s also across the street from a lagoon, so you have water views from the front and back of the house. It’s also super convenient for someone that enjoys fishing, which my son and husband do!We were in town for a big baseball tournament, and split the place with another family. So there were 4 adults and 5 kids. There is plenty of room to spread out- multiple balconies and a private pool that make it easy to accommodate more people than you might expect.The property is well kept, and the owners were very easy to communicate with.It’s on a quiet, peaceful street, but just blocks from great restaurants and shops!10 out of 10 recommend. We will be staying here next time we come back!

Outstanding location near West Beach
As good as advertised! Loved our stay here! Perfect for our family of 6 (5 adults and 1 three year old) and could hold more kids in bunks. Short walk to beach and house had everything we needed for our stay! Heated pool was nice as fall temps are near! Will book again! Hosts were awesome too! Great communication! Thanks George and Wendy!

Great Trip
The condo was very clean and in the perfect location. It’s a two minute walk to a resturant/bar and gas station/grocery store and a 5 min walk to the beach. It was a perfect stay and couldn’t have asked for a better trip. Thanks for the trip was well worth it.

Great owners, convient location but very dirty
Just want to preface the bad with the good. The owners are great! Best owners we have ever had, so helpful with planning, easy to get ahold of and understanding with issues.
The location is good, the rooms air conditioning works good, plenty of parking space, nice extras for the beach.
However, this rental was absolutely disgusting. The smell was awful when we walked in. We couldn’t find sheets for the upstairs pull out. While looking, we found cookie wrapper garbage in the blankets, a urine soaked sham in the truck in the living room. We also found a bit in a cup from previous renters. We also found a few towels covered in feces under the bed and a maxi pad wrapper.
The owner was helpful trying to remedy the situation and I am assuming will be getting new cleaners The cleaner came to help out also.
The Extra blanket upstairs has cookie wrapper in it. There was a note from the previous tenet left in a cup on the wall shelf.
There were not enough towels for everybody. Each bathroom just had 1 toilet paper. Bring your own trash bags, paper towels and toilet paper.
The pool is extremely tiny, it would be awkaward if the other sides guest came in at the same time.
Again, great owners, I have faith they will adress these issues!

Very relaxing and peaceful
The owner was easy to contact. He had messaged me about a kitchen cabinet drawer that was off from previous occupant and told me maintenance would be there to fix it during our stay, which they did. I had messaged him about the refrigerator and he quickly replied. Very nice duplex in a quiet neighborhood, very short walk to the beach, pool was nice, ice cream shop around the corner the kids walked to every night. It wasnt too far away from the center of town, but far enough down we werent in the middle of all the crowded traffic. Definitely will be staying herr again.

Wonderful
We stayed for 7 days with 4 adults and 2 teenage girls. The pool was a great asset as it was extremely hot when we were there and we used it all the time even at night. We did have to communicate with George & Wendy regarding the pool gate door & their response was quick. The place was clean as it is hard to get all the sand out. It had everything we needed, we used the grill twice.
The neighbors that rented the other half next door were great & we all had fun using the pool. Definitely would stay here again!!

Rough needs some tender loving care
First off the property is in a great location a short walk to the amazing beautiful beach. If you don’t care what the place looks like and you are all about location this place is perfect. The bathroom and bedrooms are on the larger side as well. We have stayed in all kinds of places in America and this was probably the dirtiest. The entire place needs some tender loving care and a deep clean. The front door is completely rusted there was sand all throughout the place despite us just checking in. We didn’t worry about that so much but did message the cleaners because in the downstairs bedroom the sheets had not been changed and were rolled up in a ball under the covers. The cleaners did respond quickly and changed them.
The stairs are carpeted and they are disgusting. In my opinion not something the cleaners can deal with quickly should be deep carpet cleaned the entire stay they smelled terrible! The kitchen and living room were very very small and the living room furniture is in bad shape even for a beach house. All of the furniture outside was super dirty and the kitchen table was sticky all over. The pool was nice and it wasn’t bad having to share it with the other side of the duplex. They also promote all their beach equipment so we didn’t bring our own wagon the only thing worth using is the beach chairs they were nice. The whole house is functional but needs work.

Overall, very enjoyable. The pool could have been cleaned better, as there was a dirty ring around the top. Also, one of the guests felt the first floor mattress was uncomfortable, complaining of a sore neck upon waking. Furniture was definitely dated. But as far as location and convenience to all the best things gulf shores has to offer, it is ideal.

Great Family Vacation
This beach house was the perfect fit for my family! All the rooms were comfortable and clean. We loved having the pool with plenty of lounge chairs and the swing bench! The short walk to the beach was very easy for us with 2 kids. The location is perfect; we walked and ate at the restaurant twice and used the grocery store for quick needs that came up. Overall we enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return!
