Absolutely stunning location. You are right on the beach. Sunsets are amazing. Close to lots of places to eat and things to do but it’s in a quiet area of homes. Beach is very private and we mostly had it to ourselves. House is very comfortable and kitchen is well equipped. I loved the multiple covered decks overlooking the Gulf.

We had an amazing week at Gulf Shores!! It was a first time visit to this area and also to Alabama! Loved the location of this place-it is so nice to be right on the beach.This rental had everything that we needed and it was so clean and welcoming to us! We would love to return someday for another visit!!We enjoyed lots of walks on the beach and checking on the sea turtle nests. My husband and son did a lot of fishing!! We loved the shops which kept us busy during the rainy times! The Foam coffee shop, Happy Pappys, Parlor Doughnuts, Tacky Jack's, Lulu's, and Picnic Beach Restaurant were all SO delicious and I would highly recommend them to anyone! THANK YOU for a wonderful beach vacation!!

Perfect for a little family get away

The property was perfect for our intended vacation of being on the beach, the back deck was large and even had space we could put a small splash pool for the kiddos! The walk to the beach is perfect and the views are beautiful! The beach was quiet not being near any big condo buildings. Communication was great we were able to navigate a few minor maintenance details, while there with quick response everytime! The house is sufficiently stocked for the basics! We would return here again in the future.

Great Family Vacay Bargain

The property could certainly use a little updating, but it was clean and everything worked properly (except some outdoor lighting). Great location right on the beach. Ample parking was a huge plus for us since we were all driving in from various locations to meet up. Our family enjoyed this vacay very much and we would stay here here again.

Great little spot on the beach!!

What a wonderful stay we had! I highly recommend this place for being right on the beach in Gulf Shores. This is not the newest place, but the location is EVERYTHING!! The owner was so responsive and answered every question and concern we had. We were two grandmas, who have been friends since high school and we enjoyed siting on the deck reading. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We will be back.

We've been coming to GS for years and for the first time, we will repeat properties 2 years in a row. Love the beach access and it was never busy in front of the house. Well stocked kitchen with pods and pot coffee maker. Chairs and toys available. We loved eating on the covered deck every day. Natasha is a wonderful host!

Amazing time. This is our second time staying at this location in the past 4 years (due to covid and unavailability). Cannot beat the price and location - right on the beach. House is clean, AC works, hot/cold water, and great view from the balcony. This is our go to place in Gulf Shores.
