The location to beach was perfect! The pool was close enough where we could set out on balcony and watch the older kids in the pool. The dishes weren't clean they just unloaded dishwasher and didn't make sure dishes were clean before putting away. The pizza cutter and pan still had food stuck on them. They kitchen was not well equipped with everything we needed to cook. They had plenty of cups and glasses but not enough bowls and pots and pans.
Property was just as listed- and AmAzing! Perfect for our combination of adults and kiddos. Pool is clean and well maintained. House/cottage was clean and had everything we could possibly need. Beach was close by. The location is Fantastic! We will definitely be back!

Perfect for a duel family vacation!
Beautiful cottage near the beach! Perfect for two families with a total of 9 people. Floor plan was great and the cottage is well decorated. It had everything we needed from a well stocked kitchen, board games to play with the kids and beach gear! The owner was attentive and very nice to work with. Thank you so much!
We had our annual family/friend vacation at the cottage. There were 9 in our party and we had plenty of space. The walk to the beach is easy and short. The listing is as advertised. Great place for a larger family!
The property is great! Location is easy access to the beach and all things Gulf Shores.
We stayed for 4th of July, and we were able to have front row access to the fireworks show from the balcony! It was a super fun experience!! The layout of the property is perfect to manage 10 people without feeling overcrowded.
The property was all that we expected!
It is a great location! Hubby golfed and I was a short walk to the beach.
