Dog friendly

The location is located a few miles from the beach. Gated back yard for dogs. Very quiet rental property neighborhood. We thought the traffic from the main rd would be a problem but it was nice and quiet. We initially walked in to the bad smell of the last bad dog and notified the owner he came out immediately and professionally cleaned the carpet in the entire house. Very apologetic and even paid for a very nice expensive dinner. Owner kept in touch with us every few days to make sure we were happy. You could not ask for a better host. We will come back.We

This house is beautiful! It’s so clean, the decor is fun, and it’s the perfect size for a family of 5. It had everything we needed. We loved the screened in porch, and the lovely yard. The climate control was just right! Two showers, and the most comfortable furniture. This property is located close to everything; shopping, restaurants, gas stations, mini golf and other entertainment, and of course the beach! The communication with our host was fantastic! This was truly the best vacation rental experience we’ve ever had!

Beach vacation

The house was exceptionally clean. Fully stocked kitchen if you plan on doing any cooking. Back yard is fully fenced which was nice for the dogs and neighborhood was very quiet. Nice screened porch on the back of the house. Close to grocery store, Target, and restaurants. Took us about 5 minutes to get to the beach. Owner text frequently to check on us.

Wonderful experience

The check in process was extremely easy which is always good after traveling a long distance. The host checked on us to make sure that everything was as we expected and that we had everything we needed. There was a small hiccup with the A/C unit in the house and the host was quick to respond and had it fixed in no time. The location is the perfect distance to the beach and nearby attractions. 10/10 recommend this property, or any property owned by the host!

Awesome Stay

Just want to say this location is in the middle of everything. If you are looking for close on the beach this is not it. Which is what we wanted. Day one we had a power outage, it happens but the owner was on top of it. I checked the fuses and it was a local outage. He texted me back with in 5 min. When the power kicked on. Another text to help reset the thermostat. Awesome highly recommend staying here. Place was very clean and everything was as advertised. You are 10 mins from everything.

Wonderful stay!

My husband and I, along with our furbaby, truly enjoyed our stay at this property. David was a fantastic host - smooth booking, pre-arrival information was received ahead of time, and he (non-intrusively) checked in from time to time to make sure all was well and to let us know of some fun activities in the area. David and Sheryl own 4 houses in the neighborhood and they pay attention to their properties to make sure everything is as it should be. The house itself was clean, comfortable and provided everything we needed to cook and clean during the month we stayed. The driveway very easily accommodated 2 vehicles. I enjoyed morning coffee on the screened-in back porch, and our dog enjoyed the fenced in back yard. The house is in a nice area for walking, and just a short drive to the beaches, restaurants, and other activities. It was a pleasure to meet David and Sheryl, such a welcoming and friendly couple. We plan to rent from them again next year!

Best Stay Ever!

The house was great! It was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. David, the owner, David was great. He communicated with me via text (which I definitely prefer) to give us whatever information we needed, be sure we had everything we needed and just to be sure our stay was smooth. He was friendly and not one of those people who “over communicate.” I can’t say enough about how pleased we all were with our stay. I definitely recommend staying at one of his houses if you ever need a “home away from home.”

About the host

Hosted by David and Sheryl

Host profile image
My wife and I live in the little town of Elberta, about 10 minutes from Gulf Shores .. We've been down here since the early 80"s. I'm a Yankee originally, but She's from Birmingham, so folks say that makes me ok.. :)

Why they chose this property

We have 4 vacation rental homes in the neighborhood. Our first one is a little cottage one street over. It's the first home I had here in Gulf Shores, I lived there when I met my wife.. Many years after we moved to Elberta, it came up for sale and we were fortunate to be able to get it. We're very thankful that things have worked out the way they have, and very glad to share our places with folks like you!

What makes this property unique

This house is Beachy, Beautiful, Very Clean, and Modern Enough. The Giant screened back porch, the FENCED yard, the PERFECT location, and the COOL little neighborhood, all comes together to make this a WONDERFUL stay!
