The house was very nice and clean! It was beautiful and located in a quiet and nice, gated neighborhood.The two bedrooms on the first floor are right inside the main door, which was not evident from the listing. The coffee maker is listed as a nespresso, but no further info is given - which makes it hard to buy coffee to make at the home. For future guests - there are actually three coffee makers - one keurig, one nespresso (which takes the older style pods), and a keurig that makes both pods and pots. The decks feel private and secluded as they sit back further than the adjacent homes. The view is beautiful.
We loved the location of the house. It was away from all of the Spring break crowd, but it was an easy drive to go check out shops and restaurants. We loved the quick, easy access to the beach. The house was perfect for our stay.Kitchen was fully equipped, minus sauté/frying pans. There was a griddle that we just ended up using for everything.
My family and I recently stayed at the Coastal Sands property for the Morgan Wallen Sand in your boots Festival. Although we spent majority of our time at the festival, the time we did have at the property was memorable! We had six adults and two teenage boys and had plenty of room for other guest if we had a larger party. From the epic balcony views to the relaxing private pool this is definitely a wonderful place for you to enjoy a nice beach vacation!! We will definitely be booking again!
Everything was as planned beach was lightly used since it was far from the businesses so great only issue was there was ants on the counter which was addressed promptly would rent again
Nice home in lovely neighborhood, very close to beach. No major complaints about the house, but some aspects could have been better (e.g., Keurig coffee maker needs to be replaced [it brews coffee, but not well]; exposed cables for wi-fi in bedrooms and closets; locks on exterior doors are horrible [difficult to lock/unlock; one broke during our stay and required two visits by maintenance]; sinks in master bathroom are very small; washer/dryer are positioned awkwardly high in basement closet). But, overall, a nice rental property. Secluded beach is a very short walk from house and private pool for the house is set back nicely (so neighbors are not directly watching you swim).
Beautiful property with all of the amenities you need
Gorgeous property, close to stores, convenient access to beach and lagoon, perfect for fishing and relaxing. Comfortable home with beautiful views of the Lagoon water way. Clean and tidy. It was exactly what my family needed and we enjoyed our stay.

Coastal Sands in Gulf Shores
We had a good time but property was tired and needed a lot of TLC and cleaning up.
The house was perfect. The location had a beautiful backyard and view, and the walk to the beach entrance was very minimal. Overall a wonderful experience. We would definitely come back.
We stayed in the house during Hurricane Ida. The property weathered the storm perfectly. We all had an enjoyable time despite the wind and rain. Look forward to returning.
Great place for a girls getaway weekend. The pool was perfect for our party of 7. Management was very responsive via text when the pool heater needed to be adjusted and we were looking for beach chair rental. Easy walking distance to the beach and the community pool. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils, plates, etc. Plenty of room to hang out as a group but the house is large enough to find quiet space for the introverts in your party.
Really enjoyed all of the space and the rear facing view into the bay/lagoon. Beach, pool and tennis courts gave lots of options for fun. Disappointed the the boardwalk to the bay was still under repair from previous storms - one of our guests was looking forward to some fishing.
Great stay with three families and kids! We were disappointed the fishing pier hadn’t been rebuilt yet and pictures on the listing did not reflect that - we had some disappointed boys that had planned on fishing all week. Also, garage doors are broken, so no extra cars there; and kayak was locked up with no access or instructions for use. Pool was perfect for the kids!
The place was clean and the kids enjoyed the pool a lot of steps for an old guy. Kitchen was clean and well equipped.
We would have enjoyed it more if weather had been better. Some lights out in showers. Not a major problem.
Beautiful house. Beautiful neighborhood. Overall clean and tidy. Stove is very difficult to use, burning everything. Wish there had been a lift and and first floor restroom. We tried every light switch but were never able to light the screened porch which we wanted to use every night. An operational skimmer net would have been helpful to keep the pool clean. All that being said, we very much enjoyed our stay.
The bedrooms were not advertised correctly. The bedroom on the main floor did not have doors that shut and no closet. Other than that the beach was nice and private pool was great for the kids.
Slight issue getting in upon arrival, but a phone call fixed our problem. No hot water, but solved next day. Decided not to pay the extra to heat the pool. Never figured out the sound system and had problems connecting to some tvs, but figured it out for the most part. Loved the location. Would definitely return.
We had such a wonderful stay at Coastal Sands! We loved the location and the beauty backing up to the lagoon. The house was clean and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked, and we appreciated the large closet in the master where we were able to tuck our infant in a pack and play and have a door to close. The home could use some minor repairs like the whole house sound system not working, broken garage doors, slow to drain master sink and a hard to close back door. We did not attempt to contact the property manager over these manners, so we like to think they would have made every attempt to repair them. These things did not prevent us from enjoying our vacation and were more like minor inconveniences. This is our second stay in the neighborhood and we really loved the views from this home!
The A/C went out the first day we were there...bad deal! However, the property management company had someone there that night. While he was unable to repair the A/C that night he did leave us with 3 portable units to help keep the house somewhat comfortable. The A/C was fixed the next day, which allowed me and my family to enjoy the rest of our stay.
We absolutely loved the fact that the house was located in a gated community with private beach access away from the public beaches. The community was clean and safe, which made us feel 100% comfortable with our girls walking back and forth to and from the beach.
If you've never been to Gulf Shore make sure you take your patience as the traffic is absolutely terrible, but other than that we had a really good time in what was really good accommodations.
This house was fantastic. It was everything we wanted - quiet community, walking distance to the beach w/o having to cross a busy street, ample space, and plenty of bathrooms.
We were a mix of family and friends (three couples + 3 teens + a 6 y.o. + 1 y.o. twins). This house was perfect for us.
The master bedroom allowed space for our 2 pack-n-plays for the twins and a twin daybed for our six y.o. with space left over to move about. The teens shared the main floor bedroom with the other two couples in the second floor bedrooms.
We cooked and cooked and cooked in large kitchen. Everything (utensil, pot, or pan) you could need was there. There were not seasonings however, so do bring or plan to buy your own.
The kids enjoyed the pool everyday. The filter wasn't on when we got there but one call and that was fixed the same day.
The private, community access to the beach was exactly what we wanted - an easy, safe walk for the kids (and us).
My only complaint is that the upstairs beds were too soft. It feels silly to even share that but it'd be my only change to this house - firmer mattresses upstairs.
We plan to visit again next year and can't wait.
