Enjoy a relaxing vacation on the water at Slackwater! By definition, Slackwater is a period of time in a body of tidal water when the water is completely unstressed. Unstressed is exactly how guests will feel in this new 4 bedroom 4 bathroom home which features ample living space with two expansive floors and over 2000 square feet in the prime West Beach area of Gulf Shores. Located in the new Pass Time Community, Slackwater is just steps from both the Gulf beach and a local favorite beach Little Lagoon Pass. This low-density community has a sparkling pool shared by only nine homes! With the pool and the large community fishing pier just outside, guests can experience what Gulf Shores has to offer without leaving their home! If activity is your thing, Slackwater is just a five-minute drive to the center of town for dining, shopping, and entertainment.

Finally, down the hall is the kids' retreat, a bunk room equipped with a TV, DVD player, private full bathroom, and two sets of bunk beds, one full and one twin to sleep 6.
Outside Slackwater, guests are just steps to a local favorite beach, Little Lagoon Pass. The Pass is the perfect swimming spot for families with children, featuring beautiful white sand, sparkling shallow water, and the perfect location to launch a kayak for a day of fishing. Speaking of fishing, follow the paved walking path to the brand new fishing pier, stretching 100+ feet out over the lagoon, and enjoy a day of reeling them in! Bring a propane tank and grill up your catch on the large gas grill provided for guest use.
Pool Heating The pool is heated from March 1 - May 31 and again from September 1 - December 31. **Pool Measurements 54' x 27'**
Guests can even access the beautiful Gulf WITHOUT CROSSING A STREET! A few steps beyond the Lagoon Pass beach leads to the sandy shores of the Gulf! Simply follow the walking path below the bridge and find yourself directly on the beach! The prime location of this gorgeous new home along with its expansive interior, sparkling pool, and easy access to TWO beaches and a fishing pier make Slackwater the perfect location for your family vacation.
For large parties, guests can also rent Always Summer, and Pass Time Cottage, two identical homes just steps away!

Hi Emily, thanks for the wonderful review of Slackwater!
It was a very nice property.There was a few ants in the kitchen and they had a new refrigerator delivered on the 1st full day.I was there, so I had to be in the house for a little while.For that which was a bummer. Overall the location was really great and it was pretty quiet being that close to the street. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a fantastic time during our stay in Gulf Shores with this home being ideally located near the lagoon, fishing pier, and beach! Beautifully decorated, clean, and stocked with everything we needed. Loved enjoying the lagoon views from the wonderful decks, and the pool is an added bonus. Looking forward to going back!

Check-in was easy, and the property was clean and in a great spot. Communication from property management was also great. My only complaint was there wasn’t any extra toilet paper, paper towels, or dishwasher detergent. I would definitely stay here again.

The property was very clean, beautiful and convenient to things we wanted to do.
We had a wonderful trip. We took a short trip just to get away. Although we didn’t realize how cold it would get we still had a wonderful trip. The house was beautiful, very clean and had everything we needed. Would love to come back when it’s warm.

Great Family Vacation
Nice property, had a great vacation with the family. Pool was nice, walk to the beach under the bridge made it easy to get to the beach without having to worry about traffic. Was a very relaxing vacation and we all had fun. Would definitely recommend to others. Close proximity to all the restaurants down town, but away from the hotel/high rise complexes which would have made the beaches pretty busy. Look forward to coming back to the area and would look at re-booking this house if available.

We had an amazing time on our vacation! The property was perfect and in a great location. The kids loved the swimming pool which was right outside our door. The kitchen was equipped with everything imaginable: crockpot, blender, griddle, etc. We only ate out one meal the whole week! There was a cabinet full of games, books and puzzles for rainy days or hot afternoons.

Hi, thanks for the great review of Slackwater! We're glad you had an awesome vacation!
We had a nice family vacation in Gulf Shores. Property was well maintained and looked just like the pictures on the listing. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach. 2 of the toilets weren't working properly when we arrived, but had a plumber come promptly to fix the issue. They did have some beach items to use, unfortunately several chairs were broken, so couldn't use them. Overall, we had a great stay.

great location for two families
We had a total of 5 small kids(under the age of 5!) and this was a great location. they had all the outdoor stuff we needed. easy walk to the lagoon "beach" area and just a little further for the actual beach. check and check out were easy. the only complaint was there were no trashbags or paper towels when we arrived. this was easily solved the next day once we were able to make a grocery run but it would have been nice to have a few trash bags handy.

Annual Family Vacation
Our Family vacation was wonderful even though rain each day but still got in beach time. The home is perfect for our family of 11. The kitchen was very functional along with enough dishes for the adults and kids. Enjoyed the convenience of restaurants and shopping when needed. Wished the beach access was a little closer but was an easy walk. Kids loved having the pool across the parking lot. Thanks for moving the grill out under the deck. Appreciated that we could take all 3 cars. Outside garbage can was full when we got there so not sure who is to empty? Highly recommend.

Teresa - Thank you so much for your recent stay! We're so glad that you found Slack Water to be the perfect place for your family of 11, despite the rain!! We're terribly sorry about the issue you experienced with the garbage can. Unfortunately that large garbage bin wasn't supposed to be there, and so it wasn't on housekeeping's radar to empty it. Please know that we have since addressed this issue, and you shouldn't experience it again when you return. We appreciate your valuable feedback and look forward to seeing you again soon!
