Nice accommodations other than the pool which was the main reason we booked this particular place. Was told the day before we were to arrive that the pool had a leak, therefore out of service. Also, wanted the pest control service to come spray while we were there. Very accommodating for large groups and did like the two kitchens.

This is my first time staying in a Vrbo property. It was a wonderful experience and exceeded expectations. It was well appointed and housed my entire extended family very comfortably. We especially enjoyed the game room. What an extra plus! It was an easy walk to the beautiful beach. I was so impressed with how accessible they were and how promptly they responded when we had questions and when we needed help, they went way above and beyond. Thank you for helping us create a marvelous family memory.

Good Place, Good Price for a church group!

We rented this house for our church youth group attending a conference, and it worked great. Half of our group stayed here at nights, but we used the main floor for meals and gathering times for our entire group during the days. The double kitchens were just perfect, and the games and pool were great too. The house was also easily in walking distance to the public access beach. Terrific place!

Best spot in Gulf Shores!

The house was clean and had everything our group could ask for. From the private pool, to the huge beds, to the awesome screened in downstairs tiki bar area, I give this place a five star rating and it deserves it. Big thanks to the property manager who helped with everything we needed and for making the stay as effortless as possible!

Weekend Getaway

The property was wonderful. Spacious, double kitchens, plenty of room for the entire family. The pool being heated was wonderful due to it being a little chilly when the sun went down. Cleaning could've been a little better but overall a beautiful house and I would book again.
