It was very nice and clean. We have a 91 yo father that still gets around better than some of us, lol. Being in walking distance to beach was nice also. I would stay here again. Loved it!

Great
Adequate accommodations. Property was a short walk to the beach. Dated furnishings and kitchen not well stocked to be able to cook a meal. Also, we were not left with enough paper products for our stay.

Our first visit to Gulf Shores and the location and house were great! Nothing fancy about the house but such an easy walk to the beach made up for only the bare necessities of the house.

Easy reservation and check in process. House is perfect for a small family. Great location close to the beach access with ample parking. Minimal supplies provided and the kitchen supplies need some updating. Overall a good stay.
