Great find!

This property looks as good or better than the pictures. It was very clean, well furnished and we loved the outdoor deck. Nice location and the walking path was great to walk the dog! We can’t wait to return! The owners were very helpful and so kind.

Amazing!

The property was clean and cozy for a little family trip. Loved that it was dog friendly with a small run for the dogs so they could get a break from the leash. Definitely hoping to stay again!

Vacation Paradise

I have been staying in Gulf Shores for 40 years. This is my favorite vacation home of the 40 plus I’ve rented. Cleanliness is my first priority in rentals, then would come comfortable accommodations. There is absolutely nothing I could want or need not in this home. It was immaculate inside and out! Very nice furnishings all over home. Beds were very comfortable, and the host was so kind and very accommodating to us. We thank you and I will be back soon

An absolute oasis for us! Clean and comfortable, our dogs loved it here and so did we. Walking distance to many restaurants and the beach - for us this included the annual Gulf Shores Shrimp Festival. Our host Vickie was amazing and helpful. We won’t stay anywhere else on our next trips!

Great family vacation!

The house was in very good condition and we were very happy to have found a property that would accommodate our family and our fur babies. Communication with the hostesses was never an issue and they were very prompt answering any questions or concerns we had. Our family would be willing to stay at any property that this host has.

Great location!

We enjoyed our stay. The property was in a great location and was clean and well equipped. The management was friendly and very helpful. I really appreciate that they had liquid hand soap in the kitchen and each bathroom. The wagons/dollies were fantastic to carry the beach equipment. Highly recommend Low Key!

Perfect place to stay!

My wife and I stayed here for the Hangout music festival. Great place to stay! Cute house and everything was clean and well kept. House had everything we needed. The bikes were great for a mid morning ride, and only a 20 min walk to the festival and a 5 min walk to the beach. Will definitely stay again if we’re back in town!

Lagoon life

The house is exactly as pictured in listing. Remodeled nicely, furnished and decorated tastefully. The kitchen is well stocked and the king bed was comfortable. West Lagoon Avenue is a great place to walk, bike without much traffic. Short walk to the beach and many restaurants. We stay in Gulf shores and Orange Beach once or twice a year and this house is in a an excellent location.

Wonderful House!

House is remarkably clean, neat, tidy and spacious. All the comforts of home are provided including large tvs, washer/dryer etc. Beach is a short distance away with public access close by. Small snafu on check in but was taken care of right away with no further problems. Would definitely enjoy staying again.

Clean and Spacious

This property was very clean and spacious. Had many amenities. We could have walked to beach. But, the beach access with parking was a couple of blocks up the road too. Perfect for my 80 year old Dad that came with us!
