My family stayed here for the Sand in My Boots festival. Gorgeous property with easy access to the beach and a short drive to everything. We thoroughly enjoyed it!!
It was a very nice property.There was a few ants in the kitchen and they had a new refrigerator delivered on the 1st full day.I was there, so I had to be in the house for a little while.For that which was a bummer. Overall the location was really great and it was pretty quiet being that close to the street. We would definitely stay here again.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Great Rental but lacking detailed cleaning & fast communication
Our family really enjoyed our stay at the property. The location is great & having 2 fridges was really convenient for our large group. My only two criticisms is that we did not get our questions/comments about the property answered by the manager & the general cleanliness. The property had sand in it upon our arrival. The washer has mold which made our clothes smell weird once we washed them. I made the property manager aware but they did not respond. One of the bunk beds also does not have a functional safety rail. Luckily, we did not need to use that bed. It is definitely not safe for young children as-is.
Overall we had a great time! The lagoon in the back was perfect for our young children.

Wonderful Stay!
Gorgeous home! We had the best family vacation- thank you!!
We had a fantastic time during our stay in Gulf Shores with this home being ideally located near the lagoon, fishing pier, and beach! Beautifully decorated, clean, and stocked with everything we needed. Loved enjoying the lagoon views from the wonderful decks, and the pool is an added bonus. Looking forward to going back!
Loved location and cleanliness. Best of lagoon beach and pool access.

Great vacation
We had such a great time at Slack Water. It was perfect for our family and friends. Great sunsets over the bay every night and fun days at the beach. The water was so clear and beautiful. We can’t wait to come back next year!

Stayed with family for Beach volleyball tournament.
Check-in was easy, and the property was clean and in a great spot. Communication from property management was also great. My only complaint was there wasn’t any extra toilet paper, paper towels, or dishwasher detergent. I would definitely stay here again.
We had a fantastic time! The house was everything they said it was on their website. Fully stocked kitchen, lots of sleeping space and great location. I will definitely come back!
The property was very clean, beautiful and convenient to things we wanted to do.
We had a wonderful trip. We took a short trip just to get away. Although we didn’t realize how cold it would get we still had a wonderful trip. The house was beautiful, very clean and had everything we needed. Would love to come back when it’s warm.

Beautiful and clean. Modern. Everyone absolutely loved. We will return next trip
Nice property, had a great vacation with the family. Pool was nice, walk to the beach under the bridge made it easy to get to the beach without having to worry about traffic. Was a very relaxing vacation and we all had fun. Would definitely recommend to others. Close proximity to all the restaurants down town, but away from the hotel/high rise complexes which would have made the beaches pretty busy. Look forward to coming back to the area and would look at re-booking this house if available.

Slack Water!
Beautiful, beautiful home! Wonderful view of the Gulf. House is clean and spacious. Beds are exceptionally comfortable. Highly recommended and definitely would stay again! Blessings for the accommodations! Usher Ministry II, Norcross, GA
We had an amazing time on our vacation! The property was perfect and in a great location. The kids loved the swimming pool which was right outside our door. The kitchen was equipped with everything imaginable: crockpot, blender, griddle, etc. We only ate out one meal the whole week! There was a cabinet full of games, books and puzzles for rainy days or hot afternoons.
We had a nice family vacation in Gulf Shores. Property was well maintained and looked just like the pictures on the listing. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach. 2 of the toilets weren't working properly when we arrived, but had a plumber come promptly to fix the issue. They did have some beach items to use, unfortunately several chairs were broken, so couldn't use them. Overall, we had a great stay.

great location for two families
We had a total of 5 small kids(under the age of 5!) and this was a great location. they had all the outdoor stuff we needed. easy walk to the lagoon "beach" area and just a little further for the actual beach. check and check out were easy. the only complaint was there were no trashbags or paper towels when we arrived. this was easily solved the next day once we were able to make a grocery run but it would have been nice to have a few trash bags handy.
