Whether you're enjoying the comforts of the interior or the breeze in the shaded outdoor living space, you'll feel right at home.

We had a fabulous week. The property was just as described. The management was always available. The beach was a decent walking distance and not crowded. Overall, we would stay here again.

Reviewer Comments:
The house is close enough to the beach that the ocean can be seen from the front porch. It’s a 5 minute walk from the house to the water with part of the walk through sand and partly on the street. We were notified that the house was ready for us about an hour before scheduled check in but we were stuck in Mobile traffic. The house is cute and all 7 of us had a place to sleep. Beds were comfortable but we asked to have the sheets changed in all 4 bunkers bc there was sand at the bottom of all of them before the kids ever even got in bed. We also told management that the kitchen floor was sticky in places upon arrival. All of that was taken care of quickly and the manager stopped by to make sure everything was now ok. The entire floor area of the house needs a good scrubbing because we had to wash the bottoms of our feet every night. There is no Keurig, only a drip coffee maker with no filters(we left an entire package for future guests). The area below the house is spacious and has plenty of seating to enjoy being outside but not in the sun. Several beach chairs and toys are also available.The house is actually listed for sale. If you need shrimp, there’s a seafood store 9 miles east of the house on Hwy180, but for all other groceries, go to Dollar General or else go back to Gulf Shores because the prices at the closest little markets are outrageous. All in all, the grandparents, children, and grandchildren had a wonderful time.

Home was clean except we didn’t have a big outside garbage can because they we full until our last day than we could take trash out. Maintenance never showed up to fix swing that was broke my daughter in law sat on it the 1st day. Chains were rusted out. It seems like the neighborhood would clean up the weeds around the homes. Idk if thats a normal thing in the area,The outside furniture could use some new cushions the ones there are very flat. Over all We had a great time while we were there.
