Pros: great location, wonderful amenities, nice layout for the family. We come to gulf shores at least once a year and this was one of the best locations we’ve stayed in. The rooms were spacious, great kitchen, and nice floor plan for a single family. It may be crowded for multiple families.
Cons: only one. The house reeked of cigarette smoke type smell. Especially on the first two floors. We noticed immediately, text maintenance within 10 mins of arrival, and they were quick to respond. They offered to spray air freshener. However with that smell that doesn’t do much. Masking a bad odor with a stronger odor sometimes makes the problem worse. We declined and decided to tough it out. We weren’t prepared to drive hundreds of miles to just turn around and go home. And to be clear- aside from this smell- we had a wonderful time. Also, the pre-checkin rules
Clearly stated “no smoking allowed.” Upon arriving home everything we brought reeks- From clean clothes, to luggage, to the kids iPads and toys. Before booking be sure to ask if the smell was eliminated.
