Amazing Stay in Gulf Shores

Fins Up was an amazing property for our family's spring break. Our trip included a family with four kids - ages 9 to 16 - plus the grandparents. Everything about the place was perfect.The location is 2-3 miles from the main strip in Gulf Shores, which was no problem for us.It's about 100 yards from a public beach access, so very easy to go back and forth from the beach throughout the day.The layout of the place is perfect for a larger family - easily supporting our party of 8 with some extra space.Communication with the property owner was great - we had a very minor issue arise and I notified the property owner more on a basis of a heads-up and 30 minutes later someone showed up to resolve the issue.Gulf Shores itself was great - a laid back beach environment with plenty of restaurants and activities. About a 20 minute drive from Orange Beach which is more built up with large condo buildings.

Perfect stay!

The house was perfect for our whole family and our toddlers! The beach right across the street and pool in the back made it the best of both worlds for the adults and kids! We will for sure be back!

Perfect spot on the beach!

Very clean, comfortable, and nicely maintained. My favorite part was sitting on the front porch in morning with a cup of coffee. Location is right down from a convenience store and far enough away from the main drag that traffic was light in front of the property.

Stocked appropriately.

We stayed here for a week in October 2022, 4 adults, 4 teens, and 2 kids. There was more than enough room for all of us. Plenty of beach chairs, if you don’t want to drag yours from home.

Fins Up was Great

We have stayed in quite a few beach houses and this one was one of the cleanest. very neat and orderly. The pillows were nice and white. It was also very nice to have use of the pool house toys, beach chairs, wagon, etc. which saved us from hauling those items across 4 states to use our own.

Isolation getaway

We had another vacation scheduled that was cancelled due to this crazy virus but needed the getaway. I booked this house last minute and I'm so glad I did! It was a PERFECT place to relax and lose a little stress. My only regret is that I couldn't bring my whole family with me. Just my husband and I in this huge place but it was more than expected. The decor, beds, pool, everything was just right! We will definitely be back to this house and I cant wait!

Beach Perfection!

Truly perfect beach rental for a family or group of friends. And we are picky. Location is just across the small street and practically on the beach, amazing views from the large porch, a private pool (we didn’t swim due to our stay being during the cold months), and X-large garage storage room for beach items which would be super convenient during summer/ warm months. Would be easy with children or elderly. There is 1 staircase for entry. The rooms are very comfortable and the loft is truly a 4th bedroom with 2 double beds and sitting area/ TV. The decor is completely updated and beautiful. The kitchen is very well stocked as we were able to make breakfast and our favorite meals such as Hawaiian ribeyes. 2 blenders were perfect for peach milkshakes in 1 and adult options in the other. The living area is cozy and we enjoyed competing in the numerous board games at night. The location was quiet despite having neighbors on both sides and being a Spring Break week. Very short drive down to the HangOut and shopping or restaurants. (We always bring our own bath soap, Tp, laundry detergents, coffee, etc, There was a good starter supply for all. Bring your coffee and cooking spices. The coffee maker offers a carafe or use of K-cups. ). We had a wonderful stay and will rent again!

Amazing Beach Property!

Fins Up is a true gem! We had a total of 7 in our party: 4 adults, 2 preteens, and a 6 year old. We had more than enough beds for everyone. The private in-ground pool was a huge hit. There were enough beach chairs, toys, etc in the pool house for all of us, which was phenomenal since we drove 8+ hours and had little room for all of our supplies. Toilet in the pool house was very beneficial. The walk to the beach was super easy. You can see and hear the ocean from the front porch. Just a wonderful place! Will definitely be looking at this property for future beach trips!

Family vacay

We celebrated our 40th Anniversary at “Finns Up” with our family of 9. The house was perfect and provided ample space for everyone. There were beach toys, beach chairs and some beach towels in the pool room. It was clearly noted that these items were not sanitized like they do the entire house. We used the chairs and very much appreciated having them available! We loved everything about the house and the description and photos are spot on!

Perfect location, perfect for families, no need to drag an ice chest to the beach, you can just walk across the street and make a sandwich. Super easy with young children.

As advertised

Nice home in a good location. It easily fit our party of 8 with room to spare. It was clean and was exactly as it appeared in the ads. Nice array of beach supplies, outdoor shower. Adding a gas grill would be a nice touch. Keyless entry and easy check in/out process. Management were responsive to any needs.

We had a WONDERFUL time at Fins Up.

We had a WONDERFUL time at Fins Up. The house was very clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The sitting area in the house had plenty of seating for all our guests to be very comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked. The house is perfectly located across the street to public beach access. We really enjoyed the ocean view from the front porch!! My only complaint is that the house advertised a BBQ grill and it was not a gas grill. This just came as a surprise and using an older charcoal grill is a lot more work coming off the beach than what we had planned. My other note is that the pool is VERY nice but not useable in the summer months. The sun beats down on the pool from sun-up to sun-down so the water feels like warm bath water. We barely used the pool for this reason. This is obviously out of the owners control but my learning is that I wouldn't pay extra for a house with a pool at southern beaches during summer vacations going forward.

Across the street and steps from the Ocean

Great Location, across the street and steps from the Ocean, multiple beach access points, with or without cross walk. The proximity to beach was perfect for a family with young kids (return quickly to get forgotten beach supplies, or to get home for a nap. Just 2 miles from the "down town (shops, and restaurants), the road being the house was great for running or biking to "town" (both a walking path and bike lane). Beach was not crowded, and water was warm and fun waves even with longer kids. We would stay again.
