😎 Yay, Teresa! So glad you had a great day — well, a great week, I hope! 😉 Our Sea Monster's a beauty, isn't she? Thank you so much for the 5-star review! Any suggestions for the home while it's fresh? Or ready to come back to the beach? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️

This duplex is in a great location in gulf shores. We rented both sides to accommodate our family, which worked out great. The home itself has had some updates but it is a rental so there is some blemishes. We had a nice time.

🤗 Thanks LuAnn! Always great to have your family back — five summers running now, and I truly appreciate that! So glad Sea Monster's location hit the mark, that you noticed the updates, and that renting both sides worked out great for the whole crew (two of everything really does make a big family week easier). Bummed about the lost star, though. You mentioned some blemishes, and I'd genuinely love the specifics that got from blemishes to a whole star! You know were are always here for you. Reach out anytime with the details, or when you're ready to set up next summer, and let's earn that fifth star back. Thanks again! 🙏🏖️

Loved it all. We had 33 people on two sides of Sea Monster and all had a great time. Management was VERY responsive!! Couldn’t have asked for better.

🥳 Woohoo, Kathy! THIRTY-THREE people across both sides of Sea Monster?! Now that's a proper crew, and I'm so glad everyone had a great time! That's exactly what booking both the east AND west sides is all about — two of everything and room for a small army. And "management was VERY responsive" — music to my ears! Couldn't have asked for a better guest crew either. Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for Sea Monster? Or ready to round up all 33 again? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️

Fantastic! We will be back!

Thank you so much Rick and Susan for allowing us to converge on your home! Sea Monster was PERFECT for us. We had the best week, and we will definitely be back! LOVED being right across from the stores, and the beach was super nice too along with the big pool! :-)

Great beach view, the pool was great!Just a little chilly.Kids didn't care, jumped right in! Great communication with host, Easy arrival and depart !House was clean, enjoyed the large dining area, having 2 tables and 2 refrigerators. Much needed for the size of the group. Having the bottom floor shade area by the pool was very nice for those who wanted to be close to the group and out of the sun! Generous parking.Very nice to rent both sides to be connected to my sister and her family!

🎉 Hi Mary! Thank you so much for the wonderful review — we’re thrilled your group had such a great stay at Sea Monster! 🐋🌊 It sounds like you made the most of everything — from those amazing beach views to the private pool (chilly or not! 😄) and the shaded hangout space below. That combo really does keep everyone happy, whether they’re soaking up the sun or staying cool nearby. We’re especially glad the layout worked so well for your group — the double dining areas, two refrigerators, and generous parking are exactly why Sea Monster is such a great fit for large families. And being able to connect both sides to stay close with extended family (but still have space!) is one of our favorite features too. 🙌 Appreciate the kind words on communication and the easy arrival/departure — that’s always our goal! If you’re thinking about your next big beach trip, Sea Monster books quickly — especially for those full 16-bedroom stays — so don’t wait too long! We’d love to host you all again. 😎

Spring break baseball trip

We rented both sides of Sea Monster for our spring break baseball trip for our team. It worked very well for us, was clean, nice, and convenient. Plenty of space for cars, and even our bus! Hope to come back next year. Thank you for having us.

Team trip

Booked for our Winfield team. They had a great trip. Nice weather for the tournament too. Sea Monster was a great place. We are coming back next year to your even bigger Pearl since Sea Monster was already booked. I appreciate all you do for us. Thank you!

Extended family Thanksgiving vacation

We had a wonderful time in Gulf Shores at the Sea Monster. Many of us felt this was one of, if not THE best, family vacation ever! The home was perfect for us with lots of room for everyone. we loved having two big sides (8 bedrooms each!) and with a connecting door. Having TWO living rooms and kitchens for Thanksgiving was so so nice for spreading things out. We travel around each year, but will definitely look to stay here again if we ever come back to Gulf Shores!

Great time... again!

Our family had a great time again! We truly enjoy using the downstairs by the pool for talent show night, scavenger hunts, etc. We even rented Mama a "sand helper" - a wheelchair to go down to the beach for the first time in several years. So thank you for sharing your place with us! Blessings over you, your family and your business,

Wonderful spring break

We had a great time. Weather was cold but the home was fantastic! Thank you for having us! [😎 Glad you had a great time and thought our home was fantastic. I am bummed to lose a ⭐️ though and am wondering how we get the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ back together since I don't see anything negative about the stay, except the weather was not super awesome--wish we could control that! 😉 Thank you for staying in our place and for taking a moment to share your wonderful time there!]

Perfect Senior Year Trip

Our school booked out annual Senior Class trip with you. The setup could not have been better. The duplex layout allowed us to have a "boys" and "girls" side, with easy separation, yet all in the same building and sharing with no one else. I believe I can speak for the whole staff and the seniors and say a big thank you for working with us and that we had a wonderful time. Thank you for making this happen!

Corporate retreat

Sea Monster was perfect for our corporate retreat. No issues. Communication was superb too. We do this every two years, and will look at getting Sea Monster again and probably one of your others right next door. Thank you Rick! [😎 Always happy to have you all! Shoot me a note when ready to lock in the return. As you know Sea Monster and the others go early for the Labor Day weekend! Thanks so much!]

Another great year! And thank you!

We had another great year at Sea Monster. I think this was our 10TH trip! Amazing! I wanted to let you know how much I truly appreciate you all for making each year more special than the last. This year, I cannot express how thankful we are than you were so kind to honor our 'special request' to add grab bars to the one bathroom for Mama. That was above and beyond! [😊 You are quite welcome. Always! Best wishes to you and the whole crew! See you next year!]
