Spacious and good for the price

Good: reasonable price. Checkin was easy. Location was great. Right on beach. Heated pool. Near restaurants and shopping. Spacious. Great parking. Loved the finished balcony. Not great: No elevator made it difficult on 3rd floor for loading and unloading. The property was clean but in average condition overall. Decor was dated. Several Repairs needed. Undersized water heater for a unit that sleeps 11.

Wonderful View, Large Space, Very Comfortable, Unique Penthouse Apt.

We shared this unique penthouse with another couple. Because it was a split apartment with two bedrooms and a bath on one side and one bedroom with bath on the other, we had plenty of privacy and space. The view of the ocean was superior. As it was cold outside for part of our visit, we enjoyed a cozy and comfortable place to sit and view the people, beach, ocean, birds, and dolphins. As other reviewers have mentioned, the three flights of stairs presented a challenge and there was some wear visible on appliances and furniture. The two main bedrooms had king beds that were very comfortable. The dryer broke after one use. Someone stopped in to look at it in less than 10 minutes after Beach Ball Properties was called! It was fixed the next morning. I would very much recommend this unit for anyone that can manage the steps. (We are 76.)

My family and I had a wonderful week in Gulf Shores. The weather was perfect and the Harbor House was even more beautiful than we expected. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone. The owner was very helpful and accommodating. We had a great vacation and we look forward to going back.

Family Beach Trip

We have been renting Harbor House condos for about 30 + years now. We love each condo we stay in. It’s quiet in the neighborhood, easy access to the beach and very family oriented. Will continue to stay here every year. Highly recommend!

Spring Break 2015

Great views from the sun room and balconies! We had two families (4 adults and 4 kids) and there was plenty of room, especially since the weather was not that great so we ended up spending more time in the condo. We are definitely planning another stay when the weather is warmer!

Comfy penthouse right on the beach

Huge sunroom with plenty of seating to watch the ocean. We had a storm while there and were able to watch it roll in and dissipate. 2 bedrooms with shared bath to the right and huge master suite to the left of central kitchen and living room. Nice little pool for Harbor House guests which was never crowded when we were there.

Spacious house in perfect location

I was in town with some friends for a music festival. This property was walking distance to the festival with direct beach access. Rooms were spacious and well equipped. Easily accommodated 8 of us and plenty of space to prepare meals. Everything was were we expected it to be and the house was great. Gorgeous views from the spacious porch and we could hear the ocean waves as we slept. Would definite stay here again for any occasion.
