We loved everything about our stay.The house was clean, easy to drive to and park. The neighborhood was quiet and safe.
Great spacious property. Easy check in. Awesome location close to beach, shops, restaurant. So much fun fishing from the end of the pier. Plenty of amenities in the kitchen. The house was clean and we had no issues with any of the furniture.

Reviewer Comments:
House was as described. Beautiful view of Little Lagoon which is our favorite. Easy drive to public beach access. Beds were fairly comfortable, living/dining/kitchen area open and spacious. Kitchen well stocked. Couches need replaced as they were uncomfortable but other than that it was a great place to stay.
We (6 of us) really enjoyed our stay. The home is 2 blocks from the beach, there is a bar/restaurant and small grocery around the corner. We loved being able to see both the sunrise and sunset at this time of year. The space in the home was ideal with a roomy, well stocked kitchen, and nice common areas for us to gather, talk and play games. We found that some of the furnishings were pretty worn and need replacing. The mattress in the bedroom closest to the kitchen had wires or coils near the surface making it tough to sleep on. We covered it with a quilt to lessen the effect. Overall, I would recommend this home.
We stayed at Stars Align for 5 nights, from February 10-February 15th. The moment we walked in the door, we both commented on how clean the house smelled. It was obvious that the cleaning crew had done its best to make the house clean and fresh for our stay. The property was exactly as described on the VRBO site. We were able to bring our little dog with us, and that was a plus. The house was comfortable and homey; we enjoyed the back deck overlooking the lagoon, and had brought a couple of fishing poles to cast off the dock (no luck catching anything, though!). Although we wish the weather would’ve cooperated a bit more for our stay, we still were able to take daily walks along the path on Lagoon Avenue, and also made the short walk to the gorgeous beach a couple of times.
One suggestion I would make to the owner is to provide more flatware for eating; there were only 2 dinner forks provided, though there were several small, salad-size forks, and one or two teaspoons. Also, the sink in the bathroom in between the king bedroom and bunk bedroom was stopped up with hair and sand. We were able to pull out quite a bit of hair and plunge the sand out and got it in working condition after a day or two.
Overall, the house was excellent and we enjoyed our short stay away from the dreary, cold weather at home. If we ever return to Gulf Shores, I would absolutely book this house again.

Decent Stay
Location, location, location! We enjoyed this rental because of the dock off the backside of the property. But I would say this place could use some updates… like new couches (stained, smelled and uncomfortable) & A NEW BED . The bed in the bedroom closest to the kitchen, that is attached to the kids room was AWFUL. Unsupported, barley stable, and most definitely UNCOMFORTABLE. It was lumpy, springy, and looked seriously shady as far as stability goes. And now the husband and I are sore and hurting, not looking forward to a day at the beach. Also one of the showers, the door doesn’t stay shut. And the other bathtub, the drain was so full of hair and yuck that it couldn’t drain the water out of the tub. It was clean, but not through. The pictures online do not show the amount of damage already done to the house, as far as walls, ceiling, the island and other places. OVERALL, decent place to stay but could have used a nice bed and better cleaning/maintenance. No issues with the rental property or the people. But a little disappointed with the state of the property for the PRICE of the property.

Reviewer Comments:
Stars Align is a great location with lovely views of the water. We enjoyed lunch on the upper deck and the location gives you a quiet retreat from busy spring break traffic and activities near the Gulf. The check-in process, keyless entry and check out were great. When opening the front door, the house smelled as if it had been closed up for a long period of time so we tried to air it out and added room air fresheners to help. We later determined the smell was from the living room furniture! As we unpacked we noticed that all three sofa sleeper couches were in horrible shape and should have been sent to the curb and replaced years ago. They are dirty, they smell, the pillows are filthy and there are wood planks between the sofa cushions and the beds on all three! We covered the cushions with a bed sheet to feel cleaner while we tried to sit on them, but they were so uncomfortable! The dog would only sit on the sheet covered cushions. We used the bedrooms with king size beds. The furniture, mattresses and bedding were newer and very nice. The bathrooms were clean but the downspout in one was pulled out from the wall and looked as if it was going to fall out. The kitchen lacked enough silverware and dishes for two people, and any larger group would need to buy or bring their own. Kitchen towels need to be updated as they were stained and burned. Housekeeping would be called subpar after we found dust bunnies and a sock under the beds while retrieving the dog toy, an empty Gatorade bottle and trash under one couch (what was lurking under the others?!), the floors were poorly swept and dirty when white socks were no longer white. Stars Align needs a refresh of the sofas and the photos on the VRBO listing. The furniture is not as it appears in the listing. We would NOT recommend staying here until the furniture is replaced and housekeeping is improved. I hope improvements are made quickly for future r
We enjoyed our stay immensely! The hosts were amazing and kept in constant contact ensuring there were no issues! The house itself was beautiful with a lagoon view. It was toddler friendly and plenty of room for the 8 of us! It’s within walking distance to the beach as well. I’d recommend this host and this house!
The view was beautiful! The only issue we had was neighboring properties using the dock and leaving it a mess but that wasnt the fault of the property manager. Exactly like pictures. Beautiful view! Peaceful! Planning our next stay already
Nice place to stay. Carpet and furniture a little worn but probably means it has been rented a lot because it is a great house in a really good location.

This property met all of our expectations, private, dog friendly and relaxing. The covered deck was great for reading books which is what my wife loved. The sidewalks for walking in the evenings with the dog and the dog friendly restaurant just down the road. Had fun fishing from our kayaks in the lagoon, if you are looking for a great time this is the place.

We found the pictures of the rental were not current. The furniture was old and worn. The frig was old the kitchen was not well stocked. The guest bath shower would not stay closed. We had ants had to call agency. These are just some of our comments
Would have given cleanliness a 5 but front bedroom on the right had vomit soaked into the mattress . You could smell it when you walked in , cleaning people should have taken mattress cover off . We had to , and had to clean the room
Arrived at check in only to find it had not been cleaned and had to leave property. Had to wait an extra two and a half hours for house keeping. Offered no explanation other than whoops sorry
