A PERFECT house for a large family or multiple families!

The house was very clean and very accommodating! We had 8 adults and 2 children; 3 families. The quiet beach and beautiful views were a real treat! And the weather was delightful!

We really enjoyed our time here! The house was spacious and clean with a beautiful view of the beach. The guys golfed at three nearby courses during our stay, and the "town" of Gulf Shores was an easy 20 minute drive from the house. Great memories made for our first trip to Gulf Shores/Ft. Morgan!

Best Beach Location Ever

Property worked great for our group of twelve, including three children. We have stayed at many homes and condos in this area, and we all agreed that this was the best beach location of all. So private and peaceful. The many amenities that were included with this property were wonderful, and we would definitely stay here again.
