Great location! You can walk to the beach, souvenir shops, ice cream shops, coffee shops, and restaurants. It’s also easy to drive and park close to the beach. Grocery stores and amusement parks are very close by. Quiet neighborhood and ample parking. Easy check in process. We had a group of 7 and did need to get paper plates and cups as there’s not many dishes available.

Great and convenient location for larger groups

We had family and friends coming in for a special occassion and rented both sides of the duplex. It worked out well for the size of the group and proximity to the beach and stores, restaurants and attractions. The home itself is older and a little weathered with minimal amenities and supplies but it is more than adequate and we enjoyed the affordability relative to other properties near the beach with similar capacity. Kids fished in the canal, we grilled using the charcoal grills and had a good time.

Sure! Here's a polished five-star review you can use for your canal property stay in Gulf Shores, Alabama:--- Perfect Getaway on the Canal!We had an absolutely amazing stay at this canal property in Gulf Shores! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The home was spotless, well-equipped, and exactly as described—if not better. The location on the canal was peaceful and beautiful, offering easy water access and a relaxing atmosphere.Communication with the host was excellent—quick, clear, and super helpful. Every detail was taken care of, which made our trip completely stress-free. You can tell they really care about their guests having a great experience.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking to vacation in Gulf Shores. We’re already planning our next trip back!
