Absolutely perfect!!

This was our first trip to Gulf Shores and this property made our trip perfect! The location cannot be beat as you're steps away from both the beach and the pool. The second bedroom was perfect for my children. We all loved it and cannot wait to visit again!

Wonderful stay

I have nothing but great things to say about our stay. I actually tried to book again later this summer but sad to see it’s fully booked but I completely understand why. The beach access is perfection, very nice accommodations and excellent location.

View and steps from beach

It was clean. Close to everything and good location in the beach. We stayed in an end unit and our deck with beachfront. We had several things there that I didn’t know was there like iron, coffee pot and Keri’s box fans. These where just a few extras that I had brought not k owing they had. We would stay here again

Loved the deck!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!. The property was very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. When not walking on the beach, playing golf, or shopping, we were firmly planted on the deck to enjoy the ocean. The only minor improvements I'd suggest are adding a plug or cover for the bathtub drain for those who want to take a bath and updating and/or providing a thorough cleaning/descaling to the water reservoir in the Keurig. There were other guests who came the same day we did and they stayed in the unit directly above us, and we never heard a peep from upstairs. The direct access to the beach was exactly what we were looking for and exactly what we got!

Perfect location & view

Unit is beautiful. Our only complaint is that when we arrived at 6:30pm, unit had not been cleaned (beds all dirty & towels in tub & dirty dishes). Left 2 messages with owner and no return call or text. Found # on fridge of cleaning company & they were very helpful. Came out next day and cleaned, but we still had to stay up until 1:30am washing & drying our bedding so we could sleep (after driving 10 hours)
