The house itself was very nice, but for the amount we spent, we expected a better overall experience. One of the main reasons we chose this property was the pool. The listing stated that it was heated, and there was no option during the reservation process to indicate whether we wanted it heated. When we arrived on Wednesday evening, the pool was not heated. Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, I was unable to reach Harris until Friday morning, and working with the property management company to resolve the issue was frustrating. I understand this may not seem like a big deal, but we have kids who talked about the pool the entire way there and were looking forward to it. There were also a few discrepancies in the listing. While small, these details were part of what made this home stand out among our options. The listing states that one of the rooms has two sets of bunk beds, but there is only one. It also mentions that the house has games, but there weren’t any. Additionally, the house was missing a few basic comfort items, such as extra blankets and even a couple of coffee filters for the first morning. One more issue worth noting is that the sliding door leading to the deck is difficult to open and close and appears to need maintenance.

Family time

We had a fantastic time. Wish we could have stayed longer. We came down to spend the week before school starts back up to relax & unwind before everyone’s schedule gets crazy. Thank you so much for such a beautiful property & great time. Suggestion- maybe keep some board games handy in case of rain. It only rained for about 40 minutes during our trip but everyone was searching for things to do.

Re-connect with old friends.

The weekend was perfect. We sat on the deck, drank wine and coffee while catching up on lost time. There is a nice view of the Gulf from there. We walked to the beach the next day which was a short walk. The beach was not crowded due to the fact that there are no high rises near. Numerous restaurants are very close and we spent one day at Gulf Shores State Park on e-bikes. Great accommodations, location and the entire booking process was super easy.

Perfect home, beautifully decorated and convenient to all things!

50 Shades of Blue was the perfect home for us in Sept 2023. From the initial reservation through the checkout process, we were provided top communication. The home is comfortable and convenient. It was peaceful and comfy and right across the beach! Beautifully decorated, ample parking and walkable to all the sites of Gulf Shores. Within minutes of grocery, ice cream and restaurants. Every amenity: coffee makers, ice makers, great WIFI, TV, amazing front and back porches and even floats and a board for the ocean! To improve on future guests stays, I would recommend blackout curtains in bedrooms. With particular attention to the back right side bedroom which the door had no coverings on...we could not use at all due to the bright lights even at night. Two other suggestions: improve the cookware for guests as the pans are very worn and tired...and hard to clean. Additionally there is a safety issue with the lighting on the stairs at night. Not sure how to rectify this but one light is not enough when going down the numerous stairs.

Great Location for Gulf Shores

Place was perfect for our family of 4. Pool was nice when couldn’t swim in the ocean or during the hot afternoons. Everything worked good in the house and we enjoyed our stay. We would stay in this location again. This was our second trip to Gulf Shores and this location was great. Easy walk to the beach.

Just a short distance from the beach

This house was great for my family of four and my mom who also made the trip with us. I was hesitant about staying across the street from the beach at first, but the walk was very doable, even with a toddler and infant. We’d definitely stay again.

Fifty shades of blue .

Property was just as described . Very clean and well stocked with needed items. Location to beach was a very short walk. Love the pool and front porch. You can see and hear the ocean from the porch . The only thing I would say to improve would be a shade/blinds on door of room with the 2 queen beds. We had to take a towel and cover this . We enjoyed our stay and will certainly book this property again ! I have also recommended it to other friends .

Perfect Spring Break Getaway!

We loved this property and all it has to offer! The proximity to the beach and local shops and restaurants is perfect for quick trips and easy access. The house was well maintained and setup for families who want to relax in the pool in between beach days. The description and instructions for property user were very well laid out and easy to understand which made checking and out very quick. We will be back soon for sure!

Great Location!

We loved the house! It was just the right amount of space for 4 adults and 1 toddler. We really loved the pool, although small, it was great to dip in after a day on the beach. The walk to the beach was way shorter than I expected and you could even see a little bit of the beach from the front porch. We spent a lot of time out on the porch so the only negative thing I have to say is the condition the deck was in. The deck and stairs really need some work. There were some rusted nails and a lot of wear and tear on the paint. So the outside of the house was a lot more run down than the pictures. But overall, we would definitely stay here again!
