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.

Nicely appointed, clean home with a good restaurant and beach access nearby. The AC was broken when we arrived but the management team was fairly efficient in getting it fixed - but most importantly they were kind and understanding and easy to get in touch with.

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.
