Very short walk to the beach, nice quiet community, family friendly! The house had everything we needed and accommodated 3 families with small children perfectly!

Beautiful house, location is amazing. Short walk to the beach and the community pools are great. We had a wonderful time in this house. It’s clean, has everything you need. The decks are the best part of the house in the mornings and evenings. We would come back to this house again

This home was amazing! Our large extended family of 14 had plenty of space. The home is beautiful and very well furnished. Our family loved eating every meal on the deck just off the kitchen as well as relaxing on the upper deck. The beach is an easy walk away even with little kids. We all loved it and would gladly stay here again.

Shell Seeker was the perfect spot for our family vacation. The bedroom accommodated our family of 10 with room to spare. You’ll find 3 separate living areas for conversation, tv, reading or general relaxation. Outside perks include 2 large covered decks, covered parking for 3 vehicles and an enclosed shower which is perfect for limiting the amount of sand coming into the house. The property manager was excellent providing advice for shopping/eating and answering questions promptly Highly recommend this home!

We have stayed in Gulf Shores/ Fort Morgan area a few times and this was by far our favorite place! We had 3 families total and plenty of room! Enough bedrooms, enough sitting and a nice big kitchen! We were within 5 minutes walking distance to the beach, which was awesome! We had 2 beautiful big decks to enjoy sitting outside eating a meal or enjoying the ocean breeze and sunset! The property manager was very helpful and super sweet! If we needed anything she was readily available! We would love to come back again and stay!

Reviewer Comments:
This was a great place for us to stay! Had a group of 11 and there was plenty of space for our entire group. The house was clean and very well maintained. We loved spending time on the balconies and the view from both was great! The house was awesome and we would definitely stay again. The property manager was very professional, courteous, responsive, and helpful. The only issue we had (and this is admittedly not related to the house at all) was that, when we stayed, the pool by the tennis courts was under construction and could not be used - so the single available pool was packed with people.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was so clean and inviting when we arrived. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with all the necessary items. Due to the humidity, the keypad access did not work, but that was certainly unavoidable. The house was so convenient to the beach and offered beach chairs and other fun beach toys. Perfect stay!

Thanks for the kind words Joann! We couldn’t be happier to hear that you had an enjoyable stay at Shell Seeker. Yes, the humidity is creating all kinds of problems with the electronic locks and we certainly do apologize for the inconvenience. We are being told that a better sealed version is going to be available soon so we have our fingers crossed that it is more weather resistant. Thank you for being great guests and we would be delighted to welcome you back for a future stay.

This was just perfect! We met with my family for a lovely week. This house was just what we needed. It was beautiful, very clean, amazing customer service, and just a short walk to a fabulous beach. It was equipped with everything we needed to make our meals and enjoy our time together playing games and hanging out. It was perfect for the kids, parents, & grandparents. We will be back! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. We made cherished memories. Just wished we could stay longer!

We absolutely loved this house. It is by far the cleanest vacation home we have stayed in. The kitchen was fully stocked! Perfect for staying in and cooking. Keurig, ice maker, crockpot, kitchen aid mixer, and ninja blender were some to note on! The house had plenty of space for our 5 families with young kids. The extra living room was great for the kids to watch movies at night. The adults enjoyed the balcony which was lit up with lights! (Only note is to bring bug spray- the mosquitoes were fierce) Topping off how great the house is would be the service you get. DeeDee the property manager was amazing! It was Fourth of July week so we got to experience those festivities which she kept us up to date with. We have never had such a great experience- will definitely be staying again!

We had a wonderful week at Shell Seeker! The house was beautiful, clean, and so close to the beach. We loved sitting on the decks every morning while listening to the ocean and enjoying the view. The kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of room for all of us to gather for dinner and games. Dee Dee (the property manager) was incredibly helpful as well and even stopped by to check on us. Thank you for allowing us to rent your house for the week. We can't wait to come back!
