This house is outdated from inside to out. Appliances to furniture to the old wood panel walls. The house smells of old mildew. The best part of staying here is the location to the beach. I would not recommend for the price. Host was great and check in was early and easy, I would use the rental company again, just not this house.

Great Location

Like others said this house is a little outdated, however, it was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the view is all worth it. It is so close to the beach and the beach access is easy. Loved sitting on the deck watching dolphins or having breakfast or dinner. It was perfect. If you are not looking for a "beachy" interior this is well worth it.

Roaches. In the kitchen.The drawers, the cabinets, the counter, the sink. What else needs to be said? Yes, it's an affordable priced pet friendly beach house, but roaches, no.Communication was terrible, check-in in-person was pointless, the property is somehow more dated and in disrepair than the photos suggest.The bed is loud, small, and uncomfortable. The bathrooms tiny with nowhere to unpack essentials.The deck is an accident waiting to happen as the rail is loose at best and rotted at worst around the whole thing. A stumble, a running kid, a dog chasing a bird could easily lead to a ddisaster.Also, the deck rails are magically the same height as your eye-level when sitting on the deck Furniture so without forcing uncomfortable posture you sit on the deck and enjoy the magnificent view of....the rotting deck rail, good choice. I picked up 4 screws in the parking area from what appears to be recent work on the exterior deck stairs, so be warned.But to bring it back home....Roaches.No.I reached out to Young's about this, haven't heard back. With as terrible as dealing with them has been I'm not surprised. Avoid this property and avoid this company.Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

Thanks for taking the time to provide us with your feedback from the trip. We're sorry you experienced issues during your stay and have addressed the items you mentioned with our team. New box springs have been installed, and we treat the property for pests weekly with this being a pet friendly property. We were not able to find the same thing upon inspection, but will continue moitoring this between guests. We've also had a contractor verify the safty of the deck, and agree it's not the most aestically pleasing, which we will work on improving in the near future. Sorry again that your group didn't have the best experience, and hopefully the communication once we were made aware of the issues and refund provided were sufficient.

Great location

The location is fantastic especially for a family with kids, being right on the beach made life very easy. The house it’s self NEEDS updates nothing major but a lot of little things that need to be repaired, to include the house outside that has so many holes in it. Definitely an over priced stay especially not to include any sort of beach equipment for the renters & with the amount of minor updates I was disappointed! BUT if you’re just going for a roof over your head & a great location … go for it!

Million $ view

The ocean view is perfect!! We had a great time and its just a short drive to shopping and restaurants…… but this view from the deck is absolutely perfect and beautiful. Watching the dolphins from the porch was a bonus. We also like the open concept of the house it gives the house plenty of room for the family. Plus the few extras that come with the place was nice. The only complaint we had someone left a old tent and chairs on the beach and I was told the beach is cleaned up every night but it was there the whole week we stayed so that was a lil ugly to look at. You may want to call and have someone pick that up because no one comes to clean the beach there. Thank you for sharing your home with my family! We had a great time and we will definitely come back next year.

Frustrating

My family and I stayed just this late week. We walked in an a number of things were broken. I called Monday morning to report the list of things broken when we walked in so I did not get charged. I didn’t need them fixed right away. I figured they would fix them after we checked out. On Monday we had someone randomly show up to look at the dryer after they left we never heard from them. Tueaday, we came back from the beach to a old “new” dryer in the house. I had no idea someone was showing up. Wednesday we came in for lunch and there two employees hanging a tv mount on the living room wall. Again, unannounced, my son was freaked out walking up the back stairs to find two men standing in the living room. When I called management to discuss my frustration is was disregarded. I was not happy with the cleanliness of the place at all. I walked in the room my two boys were sleeping in to find a use floss pick on the window ledge. This place is completely run down and not worth the $5,000 I spend to book it. Also, there a condos across the street, serval times there were people walking under the house, past our car and through out private beach access way. Just very uncomfortable, lack of privacy. We will not be back.

Loved the house

We loved the house and its beautiful view of the gulf. Being able to walk off the porch and stand on the beach in just a few steps was wonderful. The house is older, but was very comfortable. Since we were not aware of the size and population of Gulf Shores, and coming from a small town, we were not ready for the sky-high apartment buildings and congestion of traffic. We thought that by coming in February, we would avoid the tourist season, but it was crowded.

Location fabulous, property very tired.

There is no denying that this location is great. It’s right on the beach, close to shops, and quiet at night. They also allow dogs, which we were looking for ( a non-refundable fee) AC was great, furniture was comfortable and clean. New washer/dryer. In exchange for these positives is a house in need of work and clear in-house instructions. We stumbled upon the fact that the power for internet and TV is controlled by a wall switch, and if accidentally turned off, internet is gone and the “cable” must be reset, a long and tedious process. Clear printed instructions would have been appreciated. The front door lock is very precarious, and should be replaced. Bathroom walls and kitchen cabinets are old and cracked, but functional. In the end, it’s location location location.
