This house was amazing!! It had everything you could need, great space, it was clean, and there were great spaces to sit outside. It was right on the beach, super easy to get down to each day. This house is a treasure, we will be booking it again! The owners were wonderful and so was the property manager. Great experience booking this house!

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!!

AWESOME!!!!!

We have stayed in many houses over the last 10 plus years in Gulf Shores and Ft Morgan. This house is the cleaniest we have EVER stayed in. There was 9 adults and there was plenty of room. We cook while on vacation and this kitchen was amazing. A nice grill was available too. Communication was fantastic. The only negative thing I can say is its gonna be hard to top this house!!! We look forward to renting again!!

Absolutely perfect location. We had the beach almost to ourselves. It was great having each person in their own room with their own bathroom.It’s a little tired and dated but we didn’t spend enough time inside to matter. We were there for the beach. Really only issue with housekeeping was The grout/tile in kitchen was in need of a deep clean. Maybe soak in bleach. But the appliances and the counters were clean.Same in some bathrooms like powder room. Just a deep grout clean. Showers were clean.Otherwise it was a perfect location and as far as a beach rental 5 stars. People have left beach chairs over the years and there were enough chairs in the storage closet by the carport for our entire group.
Beautiful view off of first main family area. This is the spot with the sofa bed.
View was spectacular

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.

Our favorite stay so far!

My group of friends and I have been coming to the Gulf Shores area every October for many years now, and this is absolutely the best place we have ever stayed! We are all in unanimous agreement on this. Some of the great things about staying here: Communication with both the owner and the manager was excellent! It is right on the beach with great balcony views--we saw several dolphins playing and a gorgeous sunset! The elevator! Oh my, it is such a game changer, as we are all seniors. A bathroom for each bedroom (with tub/shower combos, except for the master, which had a large tub and separate shower.) Handy benches, tables, etc. in the bedrooms. An ice maker! Faucets to wash off the sand before coming in. Convenient location! It was a short drive to all the places we went to. We hope to come back!

Amazing stay

Our first time to stay here. The property was perfect for 4-6 adults. Location was incredible with few steps to the ocean. Elevator was great. Everyone said they slept really well in the beds. We love a sunset but the sunrises were beyond words. We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked it for 2025 before we left. Thanks again and see you next year!

We rented this home for our first trip ever to the beach, and were absolutely blown away! Neil was easy to work with and very kind along with helpful about the area! The beds were soft, the kitchen was very well equipped. We had a slight problem with the home while there and the house manager came prompting check on things and take care of it.
