The property is exactly as pictures. Check in/out process was very smooth. Management consistently communicated with us. Ample towels in the unit and sheets. Great location on the beach. We had lots of room, privacy, and access to the beach. Even saw dolphins just outside :) it was a great stay. There is a kurig and a regular coffee maker on site and fully set up kitchen. It is a very nice place to stay with kids.

Gulf Shores Vacation

We had a great time. The house was clean and ready to go when we arrived. Location was within 5-10 min to all the activities we wanted to do. Separate ice maker was a great addition for the kitchen for making up coolers to go down to the beach. Would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Beach View

This was a wonderful place for us to stay. Loved the back porch and the furniture. Just wished there was a grill for use. Only issue was our 83 year old mother was unable to be comfortable on the furniture due to the sits being deep and worn out.

Fall break trip

My family of four and another family of five really enjoyed this house. We will definitely return! A couple of things to note... 1. The bedroom doors do not lock. Not a huge deal, but good to know going in. 2. The bedding is thin, so bring an extra blanket if you like heavy blankets for sleeping. Neither is a big enough reason for us not to return. The house is directly on the beach and the views are beautiful. The shaded porch is a huge plus!

Winter getaway

Gulf shores is pretty quiet during the winter, but this house was perfect for a quiet getaway. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The fridge was big enough for food/drinks/etc. The location was close enough for affordable uber rides. Other reviews mentioned to bring blankets since the beds don't have comforters, that is still true. The only thing is, and it's not the fault of the house, there's a dredging pipe from the canal nearby that runs in front of the house. It wasn't a problem for my group, but it may interrupt views if it's still there during the beach season. Other than that though, the beach and view is great. I'd definitely come back.

Great location! Loved having the boardwalk to walk down to the beach! Ideal location for sure! Not a crowded beach, clean beach and NO JELLYFISH! (I know the last bite isn’t the locations doing, but something to note for next year same season). We spent everyday at the beach, walked back for food and naps! Would recommend!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved this house. Was perfect for our annual cousin trip. One of the best-equipped kitchens I've ever had in a rental. Loved the long boardwalk - made the access to the beach even easier. Enjoyed being on a strip of beachfront that was all houses, no condos.

Loved Sand Trap!

This was the perfect place for our fam of 6 adults and 4 kids. The high top table and chairs on the deck was a particular favorite for hanging outside and staring at the ocean. The personal boardwalk to the beach was convenient, kitchen was well stocked, and beds were comfortable. The place was cozy and perfect.
