Good Place, Good Price for a church group!

We rented this house for our church youth group attending a conference, and it worked great. Half of our group stayed here at nights, but we used the main floor for meals and gathering times for our entire group during the days. The double kitchens were just perfect, and the games and pool were great too. The house was also easily in walking distance to the public access beach. Terrific place!

Weekend Getaway

The property was wonderful. Spacious, double kitchens, plenty of room for the entire family. The pool being heated was wonderful due to it being a little chilly when the sun went down. Cleaning could've been a little better but overall a beautiful house and I would book again.

Best spot in Gulf Shores!

The house was clean and had everything our group could ask for. From the private pool, to the huge beds, to the awesome screened in downstairs tiki bar area, I give this place a five star rating and it deserves it. Big thanks to the property manager who helped with everything we needed and for making the stay as effortless as possible!

Weekend Escape

We chose this property due to the fact that it could house our friend group. It was completely renovated and having a private pool in addition to proximity to the access for the beach. The property managers were responsive and care a lot. Only thing that would have made it better would have been more beach towels.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
The property was not like the photos . The doors barely closed and are old and warped the paint is chipping off ceiling .The filters in house appeared to not be changed for years .The wifi did not work .The Tvs either didnt have remotes or didnt have batteries. The fan remotes were either missing or didnt have batteries . The house was covered in sand on arrival and the pool deck was old And had nails sticking up. The pool had sand on bottom and a pool guy had to come clean it. There were no umbrellas like the photos By the pool, we had to go buy one. There was no cleaning supplies in the house. We had to go buy a mop to clean up the sand from someone else. Both dishwashers were full of dishes that were not ours that we had to put away. The grill in the pictures was propane not the same grill on the property wich was cheap charcoal. There are no coverings on the chairs like the photos out by the pool.The games in game room are rusted out not like the photos .The refrigeratorwas rusty and disgusting This property was completely misrepresented. The neighbors dogs barked entire time their property was a mess and pool was green . VRBO is supposed to check these properties out and let this one stay on their site so we lost out they had our money do we had to stay . The host said they would hire people to come fix some of the issues but our vacation was already interupted from start and we couldn't wait around for workers every day.I would NOT recommend this property to anyone.

Not impressed

So many 'little' things needed attention while our family of 17 stayed. Many things listed on the site were not as described. There were 6 pool chairs but unfortunately 3 were rusted and completely unable to be used due to all the material being ripped. The A/C dripped from the upstais down to the main floor in front of the master bedroom and when looking for towels to catch the water coming down, we found all the towels dirty sitting in the washing machine, not washed. The handle to the oven is broke, no top to the coffee pot and several ceiling fans not working...I could keep going but I'm sure you are getting the picture. When brought to the home owners attention, things were not taken care of in the time I was told it would be, some things were not made right. When wanting to use the grill, we had to wait for one to be delivered on day two but no propane with the grill until 9:30 p.m. so having to change plans for family of 17 was a major inconvenience to us over and over and over during our stay. Being with family from different states was great but this place needs attention from the owner.

Best Weekend Ever

The House is exactly as described online if not better. Lots of kitchen supplies so you can cook from home (not many restaurants nearby). It is also a two-minute walk from the beach and has a nice screened-in basement area to put all your beach supplies at night. Very private, neighbors did not mind the horrible music we were playing at all if it was before 11:30.

The space was perfect for a multi-generational family group like ours, plus the two kitchen spaces, pool on property, proximity to the beach, and the bonus space on the ground level that was perfect for the kids to hang out and play games without going off the property.
