Sunny Place to Stay

My wife and I came to Gulf Shores to visit her sister. Two other sisters stayed with us at the house (4 adults total). The house was at a great and convenient location to beach access, on a nice and quiet street, and very well kept.The management contacts were very responsive and helpful during the entire experience. The house was clean and comfortable. Plenty of parking for all guests.

Had A Great Time

My family had a great time here. The beach entrance was a really quick walk across the street. The house was fine for us, nothing fancy. My only complaint was the yard. We brought our two small dogs and every time we took them out they got prickly burrs and a some small green sticky plant stuck in their fur.

Spring break trip 2025

Property was exactly as described. It had plenty of space, the beds had super soft sheets and one of the most comfortable mattresses I’ve seen in a rental in awhile. Not gonna lie it was the little touches that make me want to rent this unit every time such as spices in the kitchen, aluminum foil and quart sized storage baggies, more than one dern dishwasher pod, charcoal and lighter fluid, cleaning stuff, and so many other little things you hate to not have in a pinch at the beach. Communication was on point and it was clean! Thanks for a wonderful trip!

As advertised

We had a great time. Even with the once in a lifetime snow in Gulf Shores. The property was just as advertised. Clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed. Communication with the manager was excellent. If I had to nitpick something, it would be the wifi. It's pretty slow. But we dealt with it. Other than that we oved the place.

Property Review

Overall, the house was everything we needed for the week we were there. Close enough to walk to the beach, close to stores and restaurants, but far enough off of the main streets to be peaceful.

A walk to the beach

We had a nice visit. We went to Gulf Shores for a Nationals softball tournament. It was a bit to travel to the Foley sports complex, but perfect to walk to the beach. The house was just the right size for our family and had a full kitchen.

Great House & Great Location

Loved the house, was very clean, bedrooms were big, beds were soft. Location was amazing! Very short and easy walk to the beach. Loved the outdoor shower, and lower faucet perfect for rinsing your whole body and legs/feet before going inside. They even had a separate hose to rinse off beach supplies like chairs etc. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Gulf Shores home!

The area this home is in is pretty perfect, close to several restaurants and a close walk to the beach. The home itself is much more spacious even than the photos show, plenty of room to spread out if you need a few minutes alone. It was a perfect spot for our quick beach getaway.

Our overall impression was that the property could use some updates. The listing states a hot tub. We did not see one. Could use new deck furniture rusty. And umbrella. The bedrooms are nice and large. Large kitchen. It was quick walk to the beach. We enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Rhonda Pakyz

Host profile image
My family and I enjoy going to Gulf Shores; I found and bought this special spacious home. We love relaxing on the beach and getting away from it all! Although I come from one of the best restaurant cities in the US I look forward to the excellent food (especially seafood) in the area. Great food, fishing, golfing, biking and shopping all within a few hundred feet of the Gulf and its activities. Prefer weekly rentals for June & July. Please note that the manager asks that that the initial guest inquiry contain the actual number of guests to be in the home.

Why they chose this property

This location is excellent and convenient near famous Desotos Restaurant, Oyster House, The Hang Out, Bahama Bob etc. Beach access across the street. The East beach continues to Gulf State Park beach and the fishing pier. Large bedrooms with King Size beds, spacious living areas. Near Hwy. 59 & the 'T', (the beach road). Prefer weekly rentals for June & July.

What makes this property unique

Prefer weekly rentals for June & July. Completely furnished - just bring your personal belongings, relax and enjoy. Excellent location in the middle of most activities but with the privacy of a single family home. Across the street from public beach access.
