I selected this property because it had a fenced in backyard and was close to the venue we were going to be at. The yard was great and my dogs loved it. The house was small but was fine for my hubby and me. It didn't have to dishwasher which was a bummer. There were plenty of towels and the kitchen had lots of utensils and gadgets. The front porch was great to sit on with my morning coffee, and the location is very good. It was quiet and clean and we enjoyed our time there.

Thank you for the great review! We're so glad your pups loved the fenced backyard and that the front porch made for relaxing mornings with coffee. Thanks for the note about the dishwasher; we've passed it along to the team. We'd love to welcome you back to the Gulf Coast soon!

We absolutely loved our stay. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard. We all had a blast! The beds werenā€™t the greatest but we made the best of it. The view definitely made up for it! The house is so cute. Me and my husband were already talking about our next vacation and we will choose the same house (if possible) and company again.

Greatly located. So much convenience. Good fans and ac. Located next to shops and food places. Donā€™t even need a car. We used one to expand area for restaurants but could have done full week without one and been fine. Nice layout to place but the hidden gem is the zero gravity chairs and Adirondacks below the structure. Beach right across. Clean!!

This is the cutest little beach house. It was perfect for just my husband & me plus our 2 little pups. The dogs loved hanging out under the house in the fenced in yard. Hubby & I loved the restaurants, stores & beach which are all in walking distance. We will be staying here again!

This is such a cute little house! Super convenient to a lot of things. Plenty of room for the dog to run around. The only thing we would have loved was blackout curtains in the bedrooms. The morning light hits hard early and goes through the cracks of the blinds and made it very hard to sleep past 7am. And plushier pillows. Also, while convenient to maybe have next door, the Alvinā€™s island alarm was going off at night and we could hear it inside the house. The manager was quick to turn it off, but it went off again moments later. We luckily didnā€™t have baby aged kids.

Great location!

Private and great access to beach and restaurants. Furniture in living room has had use. Great fenced yard for our pup. There are sand burrs and the stairs a few slivers. Left a note for a few minor repairs. Would be nice to know trash day and have more trash bags. All said, would rent again.

Gulf 4 Shore is a great cottage and was perfect for our stay. Everything we needed was provided including a beach wagon, chairs and a beach umbrella. We loved the convenient location - everything we wanted to do was in walking distance. And our dog loved the fenced in yard! We hope to return again soon.
