Awesome Stay

We had an amazing stay here, the location was great, the house was spacious and had everything we needed to have a comfortable vacation. The beach access and view was perfect, especially for the sunrises and sunsets. Our only complaint was that we couldn’t stay longer!

Check in was the easiest I have experienced. You have anything and everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. The elevator was a blessing for getting luggage, groceries, and coolers up to second and third floors. Beds are firm. If you are used to a softer bed at home, I suggest bringing a matress topper. The views are the best and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting on top deck looking for shooting stars each night. And I wont forget Angel who was so personable in texting us before and during our stay.

Beyond expectations!!!

The home was the most pleasant, clean, and accommodating home we have rented in all our years of going to Gulf Shores! The ice maker and elevator were, of course, our favorite amenities! Angel, the property manager was most pleasant and welcoming. We are definitely planning to return to this home, hopefully, next year.

Perfection at the Tuscan Villa

The home was just beautiful. We just loved it. Everything was clean and ready for us to have a great week. Everything that you could need, was available. There is even a great grill available. The balconies are everything that you could ask for. The views are just spectacular. The communication was great. The owner and the property manager, Angel, made sure that we were well informed and quick to answer any questions. We have vacationed in this area the last few years, and this home is by far, my favorite place that we have stayed. We can not wait to come back!!

Family Beach Trip

We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful beach house. It is well suited to a family and had everything we needed. We loved the location. It’s away from town and no big condos near by. There was no issue accessing the beach from the house and the beach was not crowded which is always nice.
