Peaceful, fun and stressfree.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. My family stayed over Thanksgiving weekend for a soccer tournament. Being away from home and family for the holiday was not ideal so we wanted somewhere we felt at home and could still prepare a makeshift Thanksgiving meal. First off, the host was the most responsive host I have ever communicated with. Replies to questions were answered more quickly than I had time to check my email. They checked in throughout our stay to make sure things were going okay, make sure supplies were good, see if we needed anything. They were more than accommodating when we had special requests and went above and beyond for making us feel like this was our second home for the days we were there. The property was immaculately clean and fully stocked. It is bright and airy while also being comfortable and homey. There was more space than I was expecting for our large group and we never felt crowded. One thing I was pleasantly surprised with was each bedroom has its own full bath which came in handy after long days at the soccer fields (iykyk). We were able to cook full meals in the well stocked kitchen to enjoy some relaxing family time in the evening and spread out over the large living area playing games, being silly and reconnecting. Also put to good use was the well-stocked beach equipment in the garage. Ugh, out of characters, but could type 1,000 more on the location. Close to everything, husband and I spent mornings walking the beach for sunrise.

Decent but needs improvement
The property itself is a good place at a good location. There are a number of things that need to be attended to however- 1. Deep cleaning needs to happen after every guest. Everything other than the bathrooms was only surface cleaned. There are stains and dirty parts of the property that are easily visible. 2. The beds- especially the bunk beds are unbearably uncomfortable. The big beds make too much noise, every movement makes the bed creak. 3. The grill does not work 4. Our front door lock did not work

Baseball / Beach Trip - So MUCH FUN!!!
We came to Gulf Shores for a Perfect Game baseball tournament and wanted to find a place close to the beach to enjoy between games and in the evening. This property was perfect!!! It was exactly the size we needed and was beautiful and clean! The walk to the beach was easy. We had such a peaceful trip. Thank you so much!

Great place and a great experience!
We loved this property, it was very clean, well prepared and offered plenty of space for our family. A bathroom for every bedroom is such a blessing, it is close to the beach, and the pool was perfect for us. Communications with the host were exceptional. Pet friendly on top of everything made this the perfect place for us!
