Outstanding Rental in the Perfect Location

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is my fifth trip to the Gulf Coast and my first time staying in this house. It was my favorite by far. The house was clean and well stocked. The owners did a great job decorating and making their home comfortable. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and hope that I get an opportunity to! Hope to see you again soon, Gulf Shores and Do South!

Great house!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved the house, cleanliness of the house, location and have already requested it for the same weekend next year. We did have a problem with the ice maker and freezer. We had to ask for maintenance twice, and when the man came, he said he didn't know what was wrong and didn't have any tools with him to try and fix it anyway. We managed and actually were able to get the ice maker to start working and scraped enough ice off the freezer door that it was able to get a good seal and worked better.

Open the retractable deck doors and feel the ocean breeze. On suite bathrooms for every bedroom and washer/dryer combos both upstairs and downstairs. What more could you ask for. It exceeded all of our expectations. Expensive, but you get what you pay for!!! Hope to return next year.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I have traveled all over the world and even owned a couple of beach houses. But for a rental, this was the best I have ever been in. It was more than adequately stocked with pots, pans and needed kitchen utensils and dinnerware. The view was spectacular. I realize it is a new property, but it did not lack for one single thing.A five star property all around.

Family Vacation 2023

The property was outstanding! The property mangement wasn't great at answering our calls! I was very unhappy that I had to pay VRBO 500.00 to book this house. I don't mind paying a small fee but that ridiculous. The house floors weren't clean and the kids rooms weren't clean around the matresses.

Do Yourself a Favor at Do South

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I almost hate recommending this property so highly for fear of it becoming even more popular. We have stayed there two years, and are booked for 2024. The house is well apportioned and is directly on West Beach Road down far enough that there are no condos near. It's perfect if you want to get away and not fight for your beach chair spot. You can hear your own music, or not, and you don't have to worry about your children and grandchildren wandering off. My wife and I have been taking our initially small family of 5 to a now crazy group of 15 to the beach for more than 20 years. This house is well situated for some of them who drive from Texas and for us to drive down from KY. It's a great house, a great view--it only needs your car in the driveway and your chair on the beach.

Fantastic beach house for a large family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We immensely enjoyed our 8 day stay at Do South beach house, May 2023. The house contains everything our family needed to cook, chill and enjoy the beach and Gulf Shores. Beautiful views from the living areas and the 3 bedrooms facing the beach. So nice that each of the 5 bedrooms contains an ensuite. All kitchen items needed to cook and enjoy a family meal were provided. The rental company was very attentive to any questions or issues. We do hope to visit again very soon.

Amazing Stay

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was beautiful. When we arrived it exceeded our expectations. It looked amazing in pictures but was even better in person. It was exceptionally clean and maintained. We could not believe how every detail was thought of ( two washers and dryers for example). We loved how close it was to the water, even enjoyed the games that the place offered. We cannot wait to come back.

Do South Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Let me start by saying that we come to Gulf Shores at least once a year. We needed a 4/4 to accommodate two couples and two singles and this house provided that. Anything else would be a bonus. We arrived at 3 pm and the cleaning crew was still there. No problem we went to Surf Style for a while. When we returned at about 4 pm they were still cleaning but almost done. Supposedly the renters before us left a big mess and left late. When we were able to get in I checked everything out. It appeared the dishwasher was not working. The renters before us had reported it they said and they were trying to get someone out to fix it. Repair man came and couldn’t fix it. It finally got replaced on Tuesday. No communication I had to keep calling to find out what was going on. So I missed two days on the beach waiting on the dishwasher to get fixed. I also noticed that the house was not very clean. Part of the kitchen counter tops had not even been wiped down and there was sand on all of the table tops in the living room. The floors had sand on them as well. The cleaning lady didn’t vacuum up the sand on the floors just mop. The white baseboards have a build up of black dirt on them. Overall the house needs a good deep cleaning. We also had to clean the gas grill to use it. I’m only saying all of this so the owner can see what they are getting. On the positive side the house has a good floor plan. A well stocked kitchen and under the house area is good. I had never rented from GS Vacations before and doubt that I will again.

Worth Every Penny!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our group of 8 adults fully enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. This home is a little over a year old and is well maintained and very clean We had plenty of room as each living area is spacious and open. There are five good sized bedrooms and 5 private baths, plus a half bath downstairs. We have never stay in a home that was as well-stocked as this one. It is evident that the owners have given a great deal of thought to the needs of their perspective renters. The kitchen is really a pleasure to use and has top of the line appliances. The living room window wall telescopes to open up the entire wall facing the Gulf! It brings the beauty of nature right into the home. If you book this property, you will not be disappointed!
