We loved the location and the house - beautiful beach and view with a perfect porch for my mom, elevator for senior ease of access, and close to all of our favorite seafood restaurants. The house fits our family beautifully, and the kitchen is well stocked. The only issue was a washer/dryer which needs work/replacement - but I think they have these on order. This is our third year, and we plan on coming back :)

This house is an absolutely beautiful home right on the beach! It was perfect for our family vacation. Multiple families fit nicely with plenty of space, kitchen is well stocked, and plenty of parking. The beach chairs and toys were a great plus!

Our Gulf Shores Stay

The photos of this house were almost too good to be true, but they were correct. We took our children and our two grandchildren for a relaxing stay at Water's Edge. The house was well maintained. The house was very well furnished and the kitchen was well equipped. There was also a generous amount of linens. We enjoyed all the amenities on offer. It was fabulous to have a house right on the beach. One of the best features was the key pad which enabled all of us to enter the house without a key. We really enjoyed this feature as well as the elevator. Made the unpacking and packing much easier. Any questions we had were answered in a friendly, timely manner. We want to go back!!!!!!! We can recommend this house without any qualms..

Beach Week

We were looking for a place for a family get together. We have 3 adult children, spouses and grandkids. This was the perfect beach house for us. Plenty of bedrooms so each couple got their own. A room for the 2 to 6 year olds and plenty of space for the pack-n-play for the baby. The only thing that was not perfect was the ability to close off the stairs for the crawler. The stairways were too wide for child gates. Also, the steep stairs from the main level to the beach on the deck were not gated, so time on the deck with all the little ones was limited as the huge opening was a major fall hazard for the small children. It was advertised as a private beach, but since there was no signage on the street side to notify others, we would have vacationers from across the street walking between houses and setting up on the beach in what we thought was our private space. We learned we had to get up and go out early to stake out our territory. LOL

Family affair

Beautiful house in a great location. The elevator was a big plus. They had infant items fir my grandaughter. Tv issues were taken care of very promptly by the property manager. The house has a beautiful deck and everything was as listed. Plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was the best stocked i have ever seen. The washer/dryer was conveniently located on main level. We would return. The beach is beautiful. Neighbors are close and it could be a little noisy but im sure we were louder at times also.

It doesn’t get better than this

This home exceeds all the comfort of home! From the well-stocked kitchen to comfortable beds and an amazing beach, we never wanted to leave. We enjoyed all the sea shells and dolphin watching. The owner sent helpful information and was quick to reply to any questions. This rental will be impossible to beat! We hope we have the opportunity to return!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie

Host profile image
We purchased this home as a second home to enjoy with family and friends when not being enjoyed by those seeking the ultimate beach experience. We now live in Atlanta but grew up on the Gulf Coast and always dreamed of finding a perfect place on the water. We found it!

Why they chose this property

Gulf Shores, Alabama beaches are the most beautiful beaches on the panhandle because they not only offer wide white sandy beaches and clear water but also because they are not completely overrun and over-developed. Also, the charter fishing out of both Gulf Shores and Orange Beach is world class and you can expect to go out on a charter once and have enough fish for your entire family for the whole week of your visit.

What makes this property unique

This property is located on the beach yet Little Lagoon is just a short walk away and is a great place to enjoy water sports or just relax on a kayak. If the tide is right, smaller boats can launch in the lagoon and in a matter of minutes be in the gulf.
