The main level has a bedroom with a queen size bed and a kids bedroom with a bunk bed with a full on bottom and twin on top. There are five smart TV's in the house with access to Netflix so everyone can watch together or escape for some alone time! Of course there's free wifi too! The fully equipped kitchen is ready to go if you're in to making meals at home instead of eating out. There are enough dishes/glasses/silverware/etc. for 16. There is a dishwasher. The dining table seats 6 and there are three barstools. There is also a table/desk in the foyer that folds out for additional seating if needed. This is a raised beach style home.

There is a full size washer and dryer upstairs in the hallway closet. They are stacked but full size. The bathrooms are as follows: a half bath in the hallway off the front foyer, a full bath off the bedrooms on the main level, a full bath upstairs in the hallway, and a full bath with both a large jetted tub and a separate shower off the master bedroom. The house has large decks on all levels and sliding patio doors in every room of the house. The rooms in the front of the house have canal views and the rooms at the back of the house face the ocean. The ocean is a couple of blocks away but there is an ocean view from the master bedroom deck and the other bedroom deck adjacent to the master. There is a large, well stocked Dollar General at the end of the street with inexpensive beach toys and other necessity items as well as a decent food section. There is a family mini-golf barely a half a block from the house. Waterville is less than a mile away. You can easily walk to a dozen restaurants within two blocks. A very nice Publix grocery store and a neighborhood Walmart is just a few miles away. Instacart is amazing and Publix does a fantastic job of home delivery! This is a terrific place for a friends or family gathering!

It was a nice house. It was clean. We were told there would be starter supplies for shampoo, toilet paper, soap, etc but that was not the case. Dollar General was close and it was an easy fix. Great porches on the house but only 3 chairs for for 4 decks so 3 decks had no furniture and were unable to use them at all. Pool was terrific and several pool items to play with. We added to the collection while we were there. I had contacted Janet to find out the house location for golf carts but she did not respond to me. VRBO finally gave me the house address and I didn't find out until the day before we were supposed to check in that golf carts are not allowed in that area.

We had a fantastic time here for our annual family vacation. There was plenty of space for our party of 7 adults and 5 kids ranging from 4 to 17 to spread out and spend time together or escape for a little piece and quiet. The pool was perfect for our littles to jump and splash around in and the chairs were great for us to sit back and relax while watching them! The beach supplies were great with lots of chairs and toys to plays with. We got to see a beautiful thunderstorm our last night with great views of the lightning from the top deck. Would love to have had some furniture on more of the decks to sit outside, instead of just the one off the main living space. The owner was super responsive and helpful. She responded immediately when we had a little pool murkiness issue and got the pool guy out to us the very next day. Overall a great place to stay with a large family!

Kitchen could use some help
No colander for draining pasta. Can opener didn’t work. Bought both.pans were scratched up. First floor bathroom refused to flush and constantly plugged up. If I was the owner, I’d definitely stay here for a week or more to work out the bugs. Other than that, it’s a beautiful home. Would stay again.

End of Summer Vacation
This was our annual end of Summer family vacation. Our grandchildren had never been to the Gulf Coast so we chose Gulf Shores as our destination. This property was fantastic. It was in a great location with short walks to beach access. The house easily accommodated our needs for 6 adults and 3 children, the A/C was great providing relief from high humidity and August heat, and the private salt water pool was the icing on the cake! We were in the pool the majority of each day and evening. Communications with the property manager were easy via text message for any questions or concerns we had. We will definitely consider staying here again if we return to the Gulf Shores area. Great property!

We really enjoyed staying here…close drive to the beach (we drove due to having a canopy and there were designated areas specifically for the canopies). Rooms were very nice. Wi-Fi service was not great and tv service would lose connection at night. Other than that, no issues.

We really enjoyed the week at Beach blues . Wifi was not great but was not a concern as it kept the teenagers off of Tik Tok LOL. Some of the outdoor patio furniture could use some updating but again not a big concern. House was spacious and worked well for our family . Pool was a great. Everything was as described.

We try to stay somewhere between Ft Morgan and Perdido. This has been the cleanest and best property we have rented so far. Perfect layout, with plenty of space for 10 adults. The pool was amazing after hot hours at the beach and at night. We really loved our time there.

Definitely staying here again!
The house was as advertised, we loved it! Beds were amazingly comfortable! Many extras like pool toys, and beach accessories. A short 2 block walk to the beach and 3 blocks to the main strip/area for shopping. Definitely close enough for walking to and from, and also far enough away it was still quiet. Our host immediately replied with any questions we had. We would absolutely recommend this property and stay here again in the future! It was awesome!
Just a note for any families with mobility issues - there are a lot of steps to get in to the home, steps from main level to upper level bedrooms, and also from the main level deck to the pool - it is a stilt home as many are in the area. If you cant do steps easily, this isnt for you. (One person in our group was in a cast for a broken ankle, the steps were difficult for her)

Great Location and Pool
Great location so we rarely needed to drive anywhere to shop, eat, or do other things. Nice beach is very walkable. Great pool for the kids. We were there on the 4th of July and could watch the fireworks from our balcony. Also, any questions or comments we had were very promptly answered by the owner. We picked the right place for our stay!
