Peaceful

We stayed her for 2 weeks in November of 2023. The pictures and description were spot on. We could walk right across the street to the beach and there were good restaurants within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

Surprisingly nice views, great location

Great location for a beach vacation. House and yard aren't exactly fresh and new, but if you want a reasonably priced place with a view and a beach just a block away, this may be for you. Four elevated decks to enjoy coffee in the mornings or evening cocktails. Plenty of parking, and even some beach chairs to borrow. We had a good time. Thanks!

Great place.

There was one roll of toilet paper per bathroom only, one dishwasher pod. We had to go buy those things. Hardly any cleaning products. A little difficult to leave it as we found it without thise things.

Nice beach getaway

We enjoyed our time at this well appointed, dog-friendly Gulf Shores duplex. Minimal sound transfer from adjacent space. Location is great! Beware of stickers in the yard! A short walk (less and 2 blocks) to food, drinks, beach, small grocery, liquor store etc. Neighborhood feels safe to walk after dark. Hosts communicate quickly and are accommodating. Would stay again!
