Great location, close enough to food and entertainment but far enough away to keep clear of the heavy spring break traffic. Just the perfect location for us as it’s steps from the beach!!!

Overall, a great location for Gulf Shores Fun! There were a few issues - a fuse that blew several times, showers that did not drain. Loved the outdoor patio space and the fact that the trail to the beach was right across the road.

We stayed two weeks and had a great time. The cottage is fantastic - big, well equipped, and right by the water and lagoon. We loved searching for shells and walking along the beautiful beach. We'll be back!

We stayed here during a trip to Gulf Shores for a high school softball tournament. It was myself, my daughter and another player on her team. It was perfect for the 3 of us, and not too far from any of the parks or the main area of Gulf Shores (The Hangout). We'd definitely book here again!

Property was great as usual! We have stayed at this location several times and it is always clean and neat!Just wanted to comment on the gentleman that stopped by when we arrived to change the battery on the smoke detector. He was super! Didn’t catch his name but he said if anything was needed during or stay please call.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Everything was clean and well stocked with dishes and cooking items. Only disappointment was the beach was closed at our access spot but that was beyond anyone’s control. The couch was a little worn but nothing terrible. We would definitely come back again! Communication with the property manager was great!

Great location and beautiful cottage. Everything was just almost perfect - turned a little cool and rainy the last couple of days. Have to agree with the last guests that left a review - the couch really does need to be replaced. Other than that GREAT.

We thoroughly enjoyed this place. Loved that it had a washer and dryer close to the bedrooms. The location was great especially being the end unit so we had great sun. A couple suggestions - end tables in the livingroom would be nice. Also an empty cupboard to put dry goods. But these things were minor. We would definitely go back!

The first time ever staying at Gulf Shores Alabama. It was cold out most of the time!! Alot of staying in playing games. Walking alot after it got warm, plenty of places within 20 minutes to go eat or shop.

The home was very clean. All of the necessities were there. Check in and out was easy. The property pool was extremely nice and very quiet with us traveling off season. The swing on the dock was relaxing. As a senior, think about your ability to walk up two flights of steps with luggage. The property management team was on it!

The tvs were very hard to understand on how to use them. Also not kitchen towels or enough soap to clean properly.

Our condo was right at the street so we had a view of the ocean out our den windows plus in the master bedroom. Then to get to ocean u walk across the street & walk the beach access path. I’m 71yo & had 3 back surgeries, so if I could navigate that walk I know all you young adults can. My grandson & his wife were with me & they fell in love with this condo & will b renting it again with their friends. Condo was beautiful & very clean & had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Thank you Purple Heron

Check In process was a breeze and communication with property management was consistent and simple. We stayed 6 days and 5 nights in the beginning of April. The property was clean and the living area inside was spacious for our family of 4. Access to the beach was a straight path across the road where we ent each day. Area was quiet and evening walks on the dock were pleasant and relaxing. Beach chairs are available for use. but recommend bringing a beach wagon if you have smaller children that are not able to carry their own items. Plenty of restaurants in close driving range, but our favorite was takeout from S&S Seafood Market that we brought back to the home. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a quiet relaxing place in Gulf Shores.
