We really enjoyed our stay at the Mintal Esacpe! The house is perfectly located within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, shopping etc. The sand volleyball court was also a great touch. My daughter absolutely loved having it right outside. The home is beautifully decorated with nice size bedrooms and living spaces. Every room even had its own private deck. I highly recommend this home!!

“Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the location, amenities, and beautiful spaces at Mintal Escape. It’s wonderful to hear your daughter loved the volleyball court too! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon.”
The place was great. We had 3 families split the home. We were part of a softball team there for a week. We loved the outdoor space and location. It was in the middle of everything and we walked most places. Would stay again.

We were in town for a volleyball tournament and it was the perfect location. We came in a day early so we could get a beach day. The place was clean and walking distance to the beach and places to eat. We loved it and so did the kids. We will look to come back if we play there again.

My friends and I were looking for a spot that we could enjoy a quick vacation. At Mintal Escape, we were able to walk to nearly all the activities we wanted to do, and played a game of volleyball everyday before the beach. Whether you wanna stay in or go out, it’s a great spot for either! Would highly recommend.

This location was perfect because it was close to everything! Our boys LOVED the sand and Volleyball net in the back yard. The 4 balconies were an added bonus. The only negative is that the pool wasn’t allowing swimming and it wasn’t heated. But really a nice place!

Hi Johnna, thank you for leaving us a review and providing feedback on your experience! We're so glad you enjoyed staying at Mintal Escape, and we'd love to have you back soon!
Overall very nice property. Our only issue was the mosquito infestation coming from the kitchen sink. It literally filled every room. However we communicated with the owner and got the problem resolved. Hopefully it isnt a reoccurring issue for the property. The rooms were spacious and everything was clean and ready on time. Really enjoyed the stayed here. Would book again.

This condo was perfect for our family vacation. Plenty of room, great amenities, and well stocked condo. And the location was perfect...super fast walk over to the beach. We had a wonderful time.
This condo was a blast for my family! Well stocked, beautiful, and much better than we ever expected. We had kids of all ages, and there was something for everyone to do! My only recommendation is that you update the rug and living room furniture - it was all pretty worn and dirty.
We had a great time in Gulf Shores! Property was easy to find with no problems checking in. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, and beach. The kids really enjoyed the pool and volleyball court. Only complaint was the overall cleanliness of the property— furnishings looking a little worn and needs a good deep cleaning.
Absolutely beautiful home!!!! Wow! Extremely clean! Plenty of towels, extra bedding. I can't say enough how beautiful the furnishings and decorations were! Awesome location, beach view!
The property was very clean, airy and relaxing. Everything we needed to enjoy our time away from home was available and we would definitely make it a property of choice if we return.
Property was very clean and well maintained. Each bedroom has its own balcony and bathroom.. Had all of the amenities and conveniently located in the heart of Gulf Shores. We will definitely consider this for future trips to the area!
The property was very well kept and had everything we needed,for the stay. Walking distance to restaurants and entertainment. Maybe a 3 minute walk to the beach and when you got tired of the sand,the pool was a great hangout!
We will be back to rent this house again! We loved the fact that there was a pool, volleyball net, and other outdoor games to okay when the waves at the beach got bad
The house was beautiful and updated. The quick notification of rental may have caused issues with cleaning up.
