Gulf Shores Spring Break

We enjoyed the property. It was a great size for our family of 7. We enjoyed having the pool in the backyard. The beach was a short walk/drive away. Easy access to all the things Gulf Shores has to offer. It was an easy drive to Pensacola to watch the Blue Angels.

Great house for family

Loved staying here with a large group. Excellent location, pool was great to cool off in! We will definitely be back. Yes the couch needs to be replaced and didn’t use couch bed because looked in very poor condition, but we still had plenty of room to sleep 11 even without using it. This was our first time for Gulf Shores and we cannot wait to return!

Great location, friendly neighbors, cute home

We had a great week at this property! The owners were so helpful if we had a question and the neighbor who lives next door was very friendly. She took our garbage out the day we forgot and dealt with us being loud all week. It’s very close to the beach which was nice and it was very clean. Two things I would change is having more light at the pool. We could only find the one red light so it was hard to see at night and there was no pantry for food. We had to empty out one of the cupboards that had cups in it for our food and snacks. Other than that, it was great.

Accurate

Overall home was accurate to listing. Home had all you should need, just needs some cleaning on outside & an additional exit from house for safety. Pool was very nice but too many using it to wash off sand instead of hose pipe, so you then constantly feel it swimming even after PM had someone come clean it.

Great location, would stay again

We love this neighborhood. It is so close to the beach and everything else that is going on and yet quiet and a nice get-a-way. The couch needs to be replaced, it is like sitting on a rock on the ground but the other chairs were fine. The path to the pool needs some attention. When you are walking to and from the pool, shoes are a must as there is no path and there is glass and other dangerous things on the ground. There is no information in the condo about check out requirements and we had nowhere to put trash. We message the manager and they never answered us with what to do with it and we ended up leaving it by the laundry door. We would come back again!

The house is great. Located in a great spot and walking distance to beach. The kids loved the pool. House was everything we needed to enjoy a stress free vacation. Could use some updates and new couch but it worked. Thanks for having us! We’d definitely stay again

Fridge is old not enough pillows and the laundry room is super dirty not organized at all first thing I saw is an underwear laying on the floor ! The pool is super small all the sun hits it there’s no chairs umbrellas tables etc etc ! I found no check in instructions when I got there Gad a hard time finding the wifi they basically don’t have any greeting instructions the price is great the house is big enough but they could do a little more to make it perfect

Good Location

Very short walk to the beach and distance to area attractions was great!!! The bathrooms have been updated but the rest of the house needs to be updated and Bunk beds need new mattresses!! The pictures on the listing show more amenities than were available during our stay. Management was easy to get ahold of concerning a minor issue and resolution was fast.

Great location!

The location was perfect for us. We enjoyed many of the local restaurants. I am a runner and enjoyed the location for morning runs. Nice easy walk to the beach. Nice pool in the back for evening swims. I will mention, the pictures make the backyard looked fenced in. It is for the most part but not completely due to the carport panels and doors being removed. Thanks for letting us stay!

Great Beach Get-A-Way

Property was clean & neat. Kitchen pots, pans, plates, cups were well stocked. Beach toys, chairs, etc were there for use! Easy walk to the beach. Larger beds were very comfy! TVs we’re large! Only small complaint would be mattresses on bunk beds were not comfortable. You could feel the springs through them. Everything else was great!

Great beach location BAD BUNK MATTRESSES

The house is old and the 2 little bathrooms have been updated. BRING beach towels because the tired "industrial" towels are small and thin. Your beach towels guarantee thick cotton, soft drying above the industrial "Motel 6" free towels. I repeatedly put those small white in dryer to have ready for next bathing needs because they sagged like rags and not space to hang dry. All the BUNK BED mattresses are uncomfortable because the coils are felt throughout. Just running hand over the bunk mattress cover all the circular coils are felt, so it feels like sleeping on metal circles! My sons and their two cousins are 15+ and put their bed comforters on the sheet to create padding and slept on their backs to distribute their weight and feel the coils. They said sleeping on their sides bent the coils into their sides which was uncomfortable. The 2 Queen mattresses are saggy in the center and only a little end table between beds for any surface to place your items. I used the shelf in the closet to place my lotion, hair brush and make up, etc. There are marks in the stained carpet where a dresser use to be under the bedroom TV. All of the house is hardwood except the Queen bedroom. The neighborhood was quiet (HANG OUT band performances can be softly detected some nights) but no sound disruption. The hanging swing is a nice shady retreat. The iron patio set near by COULD be a place to sit if all the decrepit cushions are replaced.

Loved it! Just needs a couple new mattresses

The only thing I think I would change would be the mattresses in the bunk bed room were very uncomfortable and they dryer took forever to dry anything. Other than that it was perfect! Great distance to the beach, was able to walk no problem and the pool was very nice!
