Spring Break stay

Spouse and I stayed with our teenagers, first time to Gulf Shores. Ideal location, convenient beach access with ice cream, convenience store and restaurant within walking distance. The property is a bit worn down and dated (dry rot in the window, front door hard to open/close, back yard isn’t usable) but the kitchen and bath are well stocked.

Good property. It was a good time to be at Gulf Shores as the summer crowd had gone home. The walk to the public beach was close and the traffic was minimal. Would recommend this property for a visit.

Quick Trip for State Track Meet

We needed a place QUICK and at the last second when our oldest got a wildcard to the State Travj and Field Meet in Gukf Shores. We only needed two nights and we didn’t want to pay an arm and a legz The owner was amazing and the check in process was sooo easy. The place was clean, the area was quiet, we were able to do everything we needed to do. Super thankful this worked out and we were able to stay here!

Nice and quiet

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. We brought our dog and was able to walk him on the lease with ease. First trip to Gulf Shores alone. Normally we bring all the family. This would be a great place to stay again with our kids and grandkids. Easy beach access, clean, and quiet. Short walk to the store and places to eat.
