Just as others have also said - this property is ideally located between the beach and the lagoon and has a pool too. Everything was fresh and clean. And the beds were very comfortable! We could even hear the waves at night! Wonderful stay! The only issue was there are many stairs to navigate, but no deal breaker.

Our family stayed here for spring break and had a great experience. Location is great with quick access to both the ocean and the lagoon and multiple decks with some restricted views of the ocean. Also a bonus to be on the quieter end of Gulf Shores. The rooms were clean and it had a lot of useful kitchen amenities for cooking meals. Besides the steep staircase to get to the front door, this place surpassed our expectations.

Wonderful relaxing stay. Enjoyed our time. Peaceful place. Had everything we needed - only suggestion is having a pulley system like some neighbors do; since the stairs to unit are steep for carrying items. Loved the view from all the decks !!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The drive was good to this destination. Upon arrival to the Air-BNB, we didn't really know how to get to the rental space. So we went up the first set of stairs we saw which was a few steps. We were stopped by the guest there, she asked where we were going? We answered A201. She directed us in the right area, we saw all those steps and looked at one another and became sad. We managed a routine on how to get everything upstairs. After finishing all those we were EXHAUSTED. The sleeper sofa needs a changed. Very uncomfortable. Overall a good stay. We do in again.
