Both units were wonderful. Very clean with plenty of towels and pillows. The screened porches were awesome, we sat there and the outdoor picnic tables were great to sit and fish in the lagoon. The restaurants, beach and fishing were within walking distance. Unfortunately, it was a zillion degrees out so we drove most times. I highly recommend either one of the units. You won't regret it.

We stayed for 5 nights with six people and this was perfect. There was enough room for everyone and having two bathrooms helped. I love that the property was within walking distance to the Gulf and all of the shops and restaurants but on a side street where there was no car or foot traffic. The host was very responsive whenever I messaged. Also, having a washer and dryer to use was a plus! We really enjoyed our time and we will be recommending this rental to anyone headed to Gulf Shores!

We had a great stay and really enjoyed our time here. The house was clean, comfortable, and in a fantastic location. It was conveniently close to shops, restaurants, and beach access, making it easy to get around and enjoy everything the area has to offer.One thing future guests should be aware of is that you'll need to bring your own laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, and extra trash bags. The house only provides a starter supply (one trash bag), so having these items with you will make your stay more convenient.Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely consider staying here again.

The house was ok for the most part. The front door stuck occasionally, some of the cabinets dont close all the way, and the flooring is coming up/ chipped in places whick ripped a hole in a pair of socks. The outdoor back patio doors looked like they have mold on them. The communication could have been better. There were a couple of times that it took hours to answer and 1 time I wasn't answered until the next day. We walked almost everywhere we went. Overall, it wasn't that bad.
