We enjoyed our stay. We loved that you can see the pool and beach from the balcony. A huge plus that the stairs are right by the parking spot, making it easy to get unloaded and loaded. Condo is family friendly and quiet around the complex. It’s close to everything. Could walk to stores or restaurants if you wanted. Jeff and Tara were wonderful to work with and communication was excellent.

Wonderful rental on beautiful Gulf Shores!

We had a fantastic stay at the Harbor House this week. The location was perfect - with a small grocery store across the street and walking distance to many different restaurants. This was our first visit to Gulf Shores and the area did not disappoint. This was one of the nicest beaches we have ever visited! The Harbor House was a great place to stay. We had plenty of room for our family of 4 and loved sitting on the porch overlooking the beach. If we ever get back to the area, we will definitely stay at Harbor House again!

This is a beautiful and cozy beach condo. Everything is neat and well-maintained. Easy parking and the pictures give an accurate description of the details provided. The beach and pool are a few steps away. Perfect location as a lot of the vacation hot spots are within a 5-mile radius. The hosts are amazing!!!!! Top notch communication, detailed instructions and most importantly (to me personally), the check-out information was extremely simple... literally two things. We will be booking this location again real soon.

Wonderful stay, excellent hosts!

This unit's location can't be beat! Right on the beach and walking distance to several shops and restaurants. The unit was VERY well stocked with everything that you might need during your stay. We had no issues at all and loved our time away. I highly recommend the ferry to Dauphin Island for a fun way to spend the day. We also had a great experience on the Sunny Lady dolphin cruise. I would absolutely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Tara & Jeff

Host profile image
My name is Tara and my husband is Jeff. We would like to thank you for visiting our listing. Jeff and I reside in New Orleans with our four children. We are beach people that love to come over to Gulf Shores every opportunity we get.

Why they chose this property

We are so happy to offer our family beach home to you and your family. We love this property because how easy the access is to the pool and beach for us and our four children. We pull into our spot beneath the condo, run up a flight of stairs to the unit, and back out the door 100 steps to the sugar sandy beaches of Gulf Shores within 5 min.

What makes this property unique

The convenience of being able to walk out your door and have your toes in the sand within 2 minutes is fantastic for us and our children. We also love being across the street from our grocery store Pier 33 and our fav coffee shop West Beach Coffee House.
