Location was great. Low crowds on beach. Property was not as nice as on website. Needs upgrades and repairs. Kitchen cookwear not well stocked but plenty silverware. Pool needs repair. Some poor construction ie door hits toilet in guest bath, light switches in awkward locations. Spacious, large bedrooms. Nice patios. Luxury price but not luxury accommodation. Location makes it.
“Thank you for your review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the BBQ pit and had a great experience during your stay. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.”

Wonderful stay for our traditional thanksgiving vacation
This was our second year in Ocean Awaits for our annual Thanksgiving vacation.
The house is near perfect and the direct access to the beach is super convenient for the grandkids.
The service from the team at Prickett is excellent and friendly
We will definitely return
Wonderful location, beach and pool were our favorites.

This home awesome. We had plenty of room and every item we needed in the kitchen. Will book in the future for our next family vacation.
Fantastic Property, Great Communication, Very Clean
We had a quick spring break trip and this house checked all the boxes and more. It's perfectly suited for a group, very clean and the pool and beach can't be beat.

Loved the house! Had everything we needed. Location on the beach couldn’t have been better. We had 7 kids under the age of 5 and it was so easy for us to get kids and gear to and from the beach. I would certainly stay there again.
Excellent property. Highly recommend. Beautiful views. Easy access to beach and Gulf Shores for other amenities if you want. Only downside was we had to bring many items such as all beach equipment and shower products. Otherwise, the property managers were excellent and very responsive.

Amazing stay!
The house was clean, beautiful and up to date. The pool was very clean and much bigger than expected. Beds were comfortable and ac worked great. The beach wasn't crowded, it felt very private despite it being a busy weekend. Amanda from Prickett Properties was friendly and timely with her responses. 10/10 would book again!
Everything was excellent. Clean, plenty of space, easy beach access, wonderful views!
