The property was clean and cozy for a little family trip. Loved that it was dog friendly with a small run for the dogs so they could get a break from the leash. Definitely hoping to stay again!

An absolute oasis for us! Clean and comfortable, our dogs loved it here and so did we. Walking distance to many restaurants and the beach - for us this included the annual Gulf Shores Shrimp Festival. Our host Vickie was amazing and helpful. We won’t stay anywhere else on our next trips!

Great family vacation!

The house was in very good condition and we were very happy to have found a property that would accommodate our family and our fur babies. Communication with the hostesses was never an issue and they were very prompt answering any questions or concerns we had. Our family would be willing to stay at any property that this host has.

Great location!

We enjoyed our stay. The property was in a great location and was clean and well equipped. The management was friendly and very helpful. I really appreciate that they had liquid hand soap in the kitchen and each bathroom. The wagons/dollies were fantastic to carry the beach equipment. Highly recommend Low Key!

Vacation Paradise

I have been staying in Gulf Shores for 40 years. This is my favorite vacation home of the 40 plus I’ve rented. Cleanliness is my first priority in rentals, then would come comfortable accommodations. There is absolutely nothing I could want or need not in this home. It was immaculate inside and out! Very nice furnishings all over home. Beds were very comfortable, and the host was so kind and very accommodating to us. We thank you and I will be back soon

Wonderful House!

House is remarkably clean, neat, tidy and spacious. All the comforts of home are provided including large tvs, washer/dryer etc. Beach is a short distance away with public access close by. Small snafu on check in but was taken care of right away with no further problems. Would definitely enjoy staying again.

Lagoon life

The house is exactly as pictured in listing. Remodeled nicely, furnished and decorated tastefully. The kitchen is well stocked and the king bed was comfortable. West Lagoon Avenue is a great place to walk, bike without much traffic. Short walk to the beach and many restaurants. We stay in Gulf shores and Orange Beach once or twice a year and this house is in a an excellent location.

Close to everything

Enjoyed staying at the house. Home is dog friendly and had an area for the dogs to use the restroom and a rolling gate on the deck so they couldn’t escape. Beds were comfortable and had everything we needed. Even a had small view of the water which we enjoyed on the deck. Would absolutely rent again. We would be back in June but it was already rented. Host was awesome and got right back to us.

The house was exactly as described. Clean, pet friendly, and close to everything. The only issue we had was with bicycles, only one had two working tires so we had to change a couple of bike tires to give us two working bike for the kids to ride. Would absolutely book this house again. Thanks

The Perfect Beach Getaway in Gulf Shores

My husband and I stayed at this adorable beach house for 7 days. Wish it could have been longer. From the welcoming lower level designed for relaxing to the amazing open kitchen and living area - we loved every part of this beach house. My personal favorite part of this beach house is the vast quartz island that serves as the perfect gathering spot for family. Easy access to the beach and dining. Love that this is a low traffic area too. Since I work remotely, I appreciated the fast internet. We highly recommend this beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath beach house. Thank you Vicky and Star for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Baseball Tournament w/ a little time at the beach

We rented this location so that we would have easy access to the beach in the afternoons after our baseball games were complete. This property has a great location a short walk from the beach as well as restaurants and ice cream! I think the couch must have been changed since the listing was published because it did not appear to have a sleeper function which reduces the number of potential occupants. We didn't need it but that probably should be updated so that folks only bring 6 people and not 8.

Amazing!!

I really could not say enough good things about this property and the owners. My family and I travel to Alabama often but this was my husband and kiddos first time to Gulf Shores. We simply did not want to leave. The property was homey and cozy and had plenty to do inside and out. Not to mention in a great location in accordance to the beach! We were able to find places to eat with ease and go to the beach in a matter of just minutes. It was also close enough that my children and husband got to go to a Florida beach as well!! The owners were responsive and very nice! We will 100% return to this property in the future and definitely recommend it!

Great house near the beach—with easy access to the beach

For our first time to Gulf Shores, we were fortunate to book here with relatively short notice and with the ability to bring our dogs. We loved it! The house was clean, spacious, and well appointed. Everything we needed was available (of course we brought our groceries with us) for the stay and for the beach. We enjoyed the beach supply closet—so many great options for fun at the beach-chairs, umbrella, toys, floats, and soooo much more! As for beach access—Given I had a total knee replacement at the end of May, the short drive to park for the public beach access (pay to park all day—and can leave and return to the same or different public beach parking all day with the parking pass) was perfect with not too far to walk across the boardwalk to the beach. My spouse walked to the beach one day and reported it was easy and not too far…either by way of lagoon or beach Blvd. We found the pizza place a good landmark for us to turn on w 9th for the “back way” to get to the house. The under the house sitting area and koi pond are nice touches, the neighborhood is fairly quiet, and it is located well with quick and easy access to restaurants, stores, etc. We have been to different beaches and houses, and this was, by far, the best in our price range. The host was friendly, kind, and communicative, so we rate the host as excellent as well! Thank you for a much needed restful beach week. We will look to book here again if/when we return to Gulf Shores!
