The house is just as it’s pictured!! Beautiful, clean and very well taken care of!! Our 3 generation family of 10 absolutely loves it here. Location is perfect!! Under the house fun games to play and cozy hammock was the perfect place to hang out when we needed a break from the sunshine. Kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were all clean and comfortable!! The living room has a huge couch big enough for all of us. I give this house and the owners 10 stars!!

Great beach home with easy access to the beach, just a short walk, which made it convenient for those of us with small children. It's located on a beautiful and quiet part of the beach away from the crowds. Clean and beautiful. Would highly recommend! Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.

Wonderful beach views; clean rooms; kitchen is fairly well equipped-not quite a gourmet kitchen, though; (however, kitchen could use a bit of organization so it would be easier to find things, plus we sure wished there was a pantry-or shelving in laundry room); lots of seating space in living room; love the game room downstairs; primary bedroom is spacious; upstairs kind beds were comfy; host was very responsive to questions; great place to spend a vacation with family and/or friends.

Loved being right on the beach, sea shells galore and dolphins. This home was perfect for our family, with 4 and half baths, nobody had the wait. Layout was great and very comfortable.. kitchen amenities were pretty good. Even the patio didnt miss abeat with pool table, tv and games. Very clean, and beds nobody had any complaints. Totally would stay again.

We spent our family vacation in Gulf Shores at this beautiful house. It was close enough to take walks to the downtown of Gulf Shores. Our family enjoyed all of the amenities the vacation home had to offer. The outside tv, pool table and vast selection of beach equipment was nice to have available for our family. Mark and Debbie were easy to reach and very helpful. I would definitely plan another family trip at this location.

Amazing property. It was like having our private beach. Beach views from the house are great. Shallow water quite a ways out was good for the younger kids. Lots of dolphin views from the house and a close dolphin encounter while in the water. The house was super clean including all decks. Very well stocked kitchen.Spacious common areas to accommodate our group of 11. Comfortable beds. Nice beach chairs and lots of beach accessories. Texted questions to Mark, the owner, several times and he was super responsive. Far enough from town to be quiet and close enough to access activities and restaurants. There is nothing negative to say and I highly recommend this property.
Make sure you get up for the sunrises.
