Overall property was very nice for the price. The dining area is too small for 4 people. Short walk to the beach. We would definitely stay there again if we go back to Gulf Shores. Only negative, trash trucks were noisy bright and early every morning.

Gulf Shore 2025 vacation

I want to start with the positive first, the location is perfect with short walk to the beach. The property is very small maybe 400-500 sq ft but served the purpose we were looking for. However it wasn’t disclosed to us construction next door so workers present all day running saws etcThe house is run down on inside and bathroom was in need of repair and updates, shower head was old and clogged, very poor water pressure, gaps in caulk, floor tiles look dirty, and baseboards not cleaned in a while.The fridge was stained and dirty looking on door and handles.Also we were there for 5 days and 1 trash bag and no replacement, also 1 roll of tissue in bathroom, I have never stayed at a vrbo where I needed to pack trash bags and bring toilet tissue. If this was necessary then should be added to description on rental.Hopefully this review prompts updates where needed.
