The house and location were perfect! Already booked for next year. The only thing I would suggest is some storage bowls and a little better cookware. I cook a lot but if you don’t you won’t have any complaints at all!!! My whole family loved it!!!

The house was as listed. Very clean and well decorated. The beach access was amazing and on memorial day weekend, the beach was quiet. Kaiser was easy to communicate with when the ice maker stopped working but that was a minor inconvenience. The only problem was that one bedroom was always hot and stuffy at night. Overall, great week!

We're so glad you enjoyed the cleanliness of the Alta Marea, the décor, and especially the easy beach access. It's wonderful to hear that you were able to enjoy a quieter beach even over Memorial Day weekend. We appreciate you letting us know about the ice maker and are happy we could communicate with you promptly to address the issue. Thank you as well for bringing the warm bedroom to our attention. We had our maintenance team inspect the airflow and HVAC system in that room to improve comfort for future guests. Thank you for your review. We're delighted you had a great week overall and hope to welcome you back for another beach getaway soon!

Beautiful Private Beach Home

Alta Marea was perfect for our family vacation! The home was beautiful and cozy. It felt like we had our own private beach but were also within 10-15 minutes of all the restaurants and activities in Gulf Shores. We loved it!!

We’d be so happy to welcome you back anytime.

Lovely home in a great location; private beach at the quiet end of Gulf Shores. Kaiser was very responsive to our requests. The Keurig wasn’t working and with one phone call to Kaiser the coffee maker was replaced within the hour. The home was impeccably clean and beautifully furnished. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. I guess the only thing lacking was the outdoor grill. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice property, love the ease of access to beach over the boardwalk the beach was not ever crowded around us a single day, very private. Would have been helpful to have some towel bars in the bathrooms, no place to hang bath towels to dry after showers in any of the bathrooms.

Perfect Location / Minor Maintenance Needed

The property and location are extremely nice and as pictured. The dolphins swim by every mourning and sea shells are great. Our only complaints were related to the rocking bath tub and less than desirable main fridge and oven. We would definitely stay again though.

Spring Break 2025

Beautiful, clean home with lots of room! Loved the boardwalk to the beach. Easy to communicate with host. Beach was just fabulous and so large for grandkids to search for shells everyday. Soft, white sand! Covered deck was a plus on a rainy day. Beds were very comfortable. Highly recommend.

Great beach house

The home was clearly just remodeled and is in excellent condition. It is located right on the beach with a nice walkway over the barrier. It is hard to complain as just about everything you would hope for in a rental was provided ... just two minor issues ... 1) there were not any spare blankets so we had to turn up the heat a bit on a colder night, and 2) the hose bib to wash off your feet at the porch was not working. Other than that we were very happy with out stay.

Beach vacation

The pictures don’t do justice to the beauty & elegance of the home. Loved the open floor plan with huge, unobstructed views of the gulf & bay! Kitchen was central with lots of countertop space. 2nd frig would be great for large families. The ample covered porch & private walkway to the beach extended the outdoor living area beautifully. Beds were comfortable. Can’t wait to come back with our large family-children & grandchildren!

A Beautiful Boardwalk Christmas

Our family came together at this wonderful property and were met by lovely accommodations that exceeded our expectations. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms with luxury finishes, a huge modern kitchen with every amenity we could have hoped for coupled with a massive great room and wet bar for gathering together. The home features a wrap-around porch with plenty of seating, and a private boardwalk to the beach offered a perfect segue from home to beach. The property is located far enough down West Beach Boulevard to avoid the beach crowds. Absolutely one of the best VRBO properties that we've ever visited, our weeklong visit was truly exceptional. We hope to visit again soon!

The property management company is great. Responded to messages regarding AC issues quickly and had the company out in 24 hours to address the concern of the AC not getting below 76 in the house. The company couldn't find anything wrong and said the unit was doing the best it could with the high humidity and large windows. We kept the bedroom drapes closed the whole trip, never left exterior doors open, and the AC just couldn't keep it cool. We typically set our AC at 68-70 at home. The temperature at the beach was 90, and the AC in the house would run 24 hours and stay 74-76. We found two box fans in a closet that we used the first night, and the property management company brought another fan for us to use. The house was clean, stocked well, and had a great location, just had AC problems. Also, the location of the bedrooms states the queen bedroom is beachside, but it is actually not. The two king bedrooms are beachside. The bunk room is located behind the master, and the queen room is located behind the other king bedroom. Oh, and the beach walkover was great...just one step from the walkover to the sand!

Thank you for sharing your experience and your kind words about our team, the cleanliness of the home, and the location. We truly value your feedback. We’d like to provide a little clarification regarding the air conditioning. This home is equipped with two HVAC systems, both of which are functioning properly and cooling at capacity. One thermostats is located in the main living space and the other in an enclosed space. They do reach the set temperature in those rooms. With triple-digit summer temperatures, large windows, and frequent use of patio doors, the systems work continuously to maintain comfort throughout the house, though some rooms may feel slightly warmer depending on use and conditions. We’re glad the provided fans were useful. We also appreciate your note on the bedroom layout. To clarify, the two king bedrooms are beachfront, the queen bedroom is located behind the second king, and the bunk room is positioned behind the master. We’ll make sure our listing reflects this more clearly moving forward. We’re so glad you enjoyed the well-stocked home, the beach walkover, and our service. Thank you again for your thoughtful review, and we look forward to welcoming you back
