Wonderful location within walking distance of the beach. Had no problems with the rental and my family really enjoyed staying at this house with plenty of room for all of us.
This stay was wonderful. The house fit the needs of our family extremely well and Michelle was great to communicate with. If you’re looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay at Gulf Shores, this is a must book!

Beautiful home. Small issue with the air conditioning when we got there. But was fixed before the nights end. It’s also very close to the beach
The house fit all our needs. It was very clean. Had all the necessities for cooking. Neighborhood was very quiet. Easy walking distance to the beach. Close to everything
This property is literally within walking distance of the beach and many eateries. The house was very nice, plenty of room. It has a downstairs apartment, my teenage family hung out there. I will definitely recommend this property to anyone. There’s nothing negative to say.
The location was great. Walking distance from beach. It was clean and had plenty of room. Great for a large family gathering. Owner was very responsive. Maybe could use a few extra items like a blender. We did experience a issue with ants but they did have some ant spray that helped. We would definitely recommend the stay!!!
We booked the house as a graduation trip for my daughter and 10 of her friends, both boys and girls. The downstairs unit was perfect for the boys. Location was within walking distance to the beach, or you can park nearby at the public access. It was the perfect house for a group of older teenagers! I was the chaperoned. The house was clean, and everything worked perfect. Beds for very comfortable.
The house is very nice, clean and lots of space. Walking distance to the beach that actually has a bathroom at the beach entrance. You can also choose to park at the beach entrance for a fee. We did have obnoxious neighbors who partied at all hours, hopefully that was an unusual occurance, but it did make the first few nights miserable.
The owner is very gracious, easy to work with and went out of her way to work with us to rent. She helped make our vacation a very special one. Definitely a home to stay in and make great memories! Loved her selection of books and games!
We arrived a little early and the host was able to grant us access. The space has 3 floors, one room is separated from the main space, which is good for families with littles or anyone who might want to tuck away before the rest of the crowd. There was plenty of room for our family of 13. Each bed has a full bath. Kitchen was used for cooking and we walked to local restaurants. The trek to the beach is about 7 minutes. The public parking space closest is 15 a day and maxes out at midnight.
Nice to have a house big enough to accommodate the whole family so each family group had their own bedroom and bathroom. The house is well situated for beach access and fun to have the lagoon. Plenty of hot water even with everyone showering. Kitchen had most everything needed to cook meals in and we also used the charcoal grill. House not quite as clean as I would like but I am picky.
Owner was responsive to our questions.
All in all we had a lovely family vacation here.
Everything was clean and place was spacious. Close to the beach access. Everything was as advertised.
Next time we have a big group we will Def stay! Thank you!

Slightly disappointed
We probably wouldn't stay here again just for the simple fact we were somewhat separated from some of our family. There is no interior access to the space below. Location is convenient to everything.
Our towels were still in the dryer being dried. There were no trash bags. Toilet paper that was left wasn't a full roll. It was just ok clean. It didn't smell freshly cleaned when we arrived even though the cleaning staff was leaving when we got there. I'm not confident the floors got cleaned. None of us went to the beach Saturday evening yet all of us had dirty feet from walking around the house.
The host was easy to communicate with and responded quickly.
Lovely and memorable 40th anniversary family retreat
Over all VERY clean and comfortable. We were 4 families and it was perfect to have our own bathrooms and rightly sized bedrooms & bed options.
We ate out many nights but cooked and grilled dinner twice and ordered pizza once. We had everything we needed or we were able to find it. We found several great places for dinners, lunches & breakfasts, but were able to do most breakfasts/lunches easily at the house or the beach.
I know the floor had been cleaned and the house smelled clean. It was a bit sticky though and several of us did not feel comfortable walking around in bare feet...it might have just been that something like pinesol was used and not rinsed well enough? Also, since we spent time playing on the floor in the family/living room, and had to retrieve toys from under the couch, we noticed that was rather dusty.
The wifi name did not match what was online, but we figured it out...did not spend lots of time online (except for our phones with cameras) so we were able to unplug for a bit. We could not get the TV in the upstairs small bedroom(?) to work, but we watched very little TV.
We did not do a great job of coordinating our exit. Folks were planning to leave from 6-10 AM, but some of us ended up waiting and others ended up rushing around to finish up and we all left around 0730 instead. I did not get to walk around and check out all the rooms, so I hope we left everything as we should have.
The location was great. We brought 2 wagons and used them every day when we walked to and from the beach. We went to the convenient Pier 33 grocery but were also close enough to other grocery and dinner options. We enjoyed the Tiki Dolphin Tour out of Caribe Marina, but my daughter could not talk anyone into going parasailing with her...maybe next time. We had a wonderful 40th anniversary celebration and did a photo shoot on the beach to top it all off.
We will definitely consider another trip to Sea Mist in the future, but our family continues to grow, so we will have to see what the future brings. We would enthusiastically recommend Sea Mist to others!!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The house was very close to the beach, but not in a loud or crowded area, and the neighbors were great. The dock was also a great place to hang out when it got windy on the beach. Overall a great place to stay, we would highly recommend!
Our week in Gulf Shores was amazing. This VRBO property made it even better. The spacious rooms and open concept main floor made it easy to hang out with everybody. It was so convenient to have a bathroom in every bedroom. The back deck was such a great spot to get some fresh air and enjoy the outdoors. I highly recommend this house & will be staying here again if I come back to Gulf Shores!
My best friends and I wanted a nice getaway & picked the perfect spot!!! Sea mist was a 5-10 min walk from the beach and had a grocery store 2 min walk away! It was super cute and cozy and had a great backyard and deck. We will definitely be coming back soon!!
Family friendly home that was perfect for our stay! We enjoyed fishing on the pier, walking to the beach, game night(grilled out) family fun at the home, & it wasn’t far from delicious restaurants (25 minute furthest we enjoyed). Out family had a wonderful time!
Beautiful place, excellent location and a great place to get away 😀.

About the host
Hosted by Michelle Kellenberger
We are two families who have been friends, family and neighbors for too many years to count! We love vacationing together, so we purchased this home in August to ensure we have many more beachside adventures together yet to come. We have worked hard (and even got the kids on board!) to make our little Sea Mist beautiful and inviting, and we have many more upcoming plans for her! We named her Sea Mist for the time us friends were on the beach together while a storm rolled in. We were determined to stay on the beach no matter what, so when the driving rain and pelting sand hit full force we kept yelling to each other, "It's fine!! It's just a little sea mist!!" 😂 Sea Mist reminds us that life isn't perfect, but it can be full of laughter, great memories, and adventures no matter what!
Why they chose this property
We LOVE this location! We are just a short walk to the beach, shops, and many restaurants! Also our kids love their daily walks to Pier 33 for treats, while us adults love the conveniences of grocery items and a sweet little coffee shop right there at the end of our street. Have I mentioned our VIEW?! the view off of our back deck is gorgeous and so very peaceful! Life is crazy, and we all need a little restoration for our souls. Jesus and this view are all ya need! Come rest, enjoy, and make many memories here at Sea Mist!
What makes this property unique
In choosing a property, we absolutely wanted some stuff on site for our adventurous kids to do! We love that they can fish and kayak right in the backyard! There's plenty of lawn space for games and outdoor activities, as well as a fire pit for roasting hot dogs and s'mores. We all know we need these kids to get outside and play the old fashioned way! 😆 We also love our huge open floor plan inside which makes our main room perfect for dining, chilling, and playing games all together!
