This was amazing for our family for our cheer comp mini vacation. Beach access is about a block or so away at the light to cross the street the wagon and beach accessories were great for our beach days. Kids loved the pool as well and had an amazing time. The house was clean and stocked with starts of things so definitely plan on getting extra if you have a prolonged stay. The kitchen was well stocked with needed cooking utensils. We had an amazing stay and would recommend again!!

Perfect little spot for a beach getaway! The property was very clean and had just about everything we needed, from pool towels to household essentials. If you plan to grill, bring your own grilling utensils and supplies for emptying leftover charcoal. They had lots of beach toys, chairs, an umbrella, and a wagon available. Most of the beach chair legs were rusted off, but we made do with what was provided. You’re about a half mile from most shops and restaurants, so you can even walk there! Overall, we had a great time and would definitely come back!

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely bungalow!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Blue Beach Bungalow! The place had a cozy, beachy vibe that made it easy to settle in and relax. It’s in a great spot—close to the beach and not far from restaurants and shops. The house was clean, comfy, and had everything we needed. Loved having coffee out on the deck in the mornings! Communication with the host was super easy too. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful house for our family of four and small dog. It was one of the cleanest rentals I’ve encountered which I appreciated so very much! Great location with beautiful views of the marsh from both levels, and a little slice of the ocean from the other side of the home. Terrific. I really hope to visit again soon!!

Perfect Gulf Shores House!

Great house, in an even better location! A block from the beach, the beach cart and chairs were a pleasant surprise, and a nice quiet part of the beach. House has a dock on the creek, which the kids fished from! Fun, Family Friendly, and nicely decorated. We will be back!
