Recent Gulf Shores vacation rental reviews

The house is truly "steps from the beach", and far enough away from the multi-story condos that you can see the stars at night while watching the waves crest into the shore. Also, the West Beach traffic is much easier deal with than further to the east. For the off season, the house was in great shape. The gas grill downstairs was a very pleasant surprise and worked well. The property manager was very gracious and helpful. We would gladly stay here again!

Our family of 8 thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Our teen boys loved having easy access to both the lagoon and the gulf for fishing day and night. The walking path behind the cottages was great for our 75-pound dog who we really enjoyed having with us on the trip. The unit even provided a baby gate that we could use to block the stairs on the porch for our dog to joing us there. The kitchen had all the pans and applicances that we needed. The home felt spacious even with all 8 of us there. We would definitely book this home again.

This place is amazing. Very spacious and clean. The wrap around balcony with the view was priceless. Highly recommend staying here if you get a chance. You will not be disappointed!
