Our stay was amazing. It is just as pictured and more, it is super cute. Host is very attentive, communication was on point. We loved the location. Just far enough away from the traffic but close enough for a short walk to the beach or restaurants and shops.

This rental was perfect for two people and in the perfect location. We walked to the beach in minutes. We walked several trails in Gulf Shores State Park. The porch was awesome so we enjoyed several meals out on the porch. We plan on renting the same property again!
The first view of the rental!
The beautiful beach!

Great location and the house was very clean. The mattresses were not really comfortable, and I would suggest better quality toilet paper. Even the state park near by had better TP.
