Beautiful

This is by far one be the most beautiful places to stay. So clean and homey feeling, dreaded having to leave! Will def stay again! Only problem is, is that it is not a 4 min walk to beach, maybe 15 min! The beach access is roughly 1/4-1/2 mile down road. Other than that perfect!

Great location, BYO cleaning supplies

We loved the unit, great size, great location! Beach was a short walk on a safe trail for the kids. The view was wonderful! Socks for fishing were used daily, great amenity. Trail behind the house was great for daily walks and bike rides. The units are close together so you’re close to your neighbor if you’re on the deck. The cushions on the dining chairs are stained and quite gross, the couches also have stains and seemed dirty. Floors were so dirty- we don’t wear shoes inside and my kids feet were black on the bottom shortly after we arrived. The bathroom showers had mold on the wall and the door. I asked to have them cleaned- we arrived Sunday- they finally came to bleach the showers on Friday- we left Saturday. Floor was never cleaned. Fridge made an odd humming noise halfway through our stay- also not fixed even though we were told the local crew would be out. Overall we were happy with the location and the unit! Just hope for a much cleaner experience.

4 bedroom condo close to beach

Our family had a wonderful time at this condo in Gulf Shores. Great 4 bedroom, 4 bath home within walking distance to beach (best way is to take the path in the back of the condo). Home has a Keurig and a regular coffee maker. It listed coffee maker on the site but specific. I didn't see an iron or ironing board in the condo. Be prepared to walk upstairs to the condo and inside the condo for the bedrooms. All 4 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms are upstairs (2 bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bathroom). The other 2 bedrooms have a private bathroom. The 4th bathroom is downstairs with a tub/shower combo. The only other suggestion I would have would be a combo entry door instead of keys to get into the condo. Overall great time and rating on this condo.

Great location on the bay

Only problem was the door- once I found the instructions on how to lock it I was pleased. The door instructions should be further up the list instead of after the beach flag info. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with a customer service rep and putting in a maintenance request thinking the lock was broken before finally figuring it out.

Until we meet again

We loved this property! We stayed in a similar 3 bedroom last year, but this 4 bedroom house was perfect! It was clean, it had everything we needed, and it’s in a quiet neighborhood. The walk to the beach is worth being away from the crowds. The walking trails and piers are so nice for morning and evening walks. My husband and kids enjoyed some fishing, my toddler loved taking an afternoon walk. Book this place, you won’t regret it!

Family-full

The cottage was spotless, and its design helped us keep it clean. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. I particularly enjoyed the fact that we were 13+ blocks west of the main intersection, so there were no crowds, no big stores - - just white sand beaches and families enjoying themselves on the Gulf. The cottage itself has a lovely lagoon view, and feels quiet and isolated, until you look to either side and realize how close the other cottages are. In any event, we had a great vacation and would highly recommend this specific cottage.

Beautiful Home on the Lagoon

We enjoyed our two week stay at this beautiful house on the lagoon in Gulf Shores AL. The home had everything we could need and the location was perfect for us. We traveled with our dog and this home is directly on the walking path. It was a short easy walk to the beach also! We rode our bikes to town and to the State Park. Thanks so much for making our stay so comfortable. There are steps to get into the home, as there are with almost all the homes in the area.

Checked all the boxes

This is a very nice, new, comfortable and ideal location. It had everything we needed. The beach is so easy to get to. It has a great view of the bay. The walking paths are wonderful! Pet friendly was an absolute plus!!! Our family enjoyed it. The management team is very responsive and helpful. The furniture is very comfortable and the house isn’t over decorated with tons of clutter and all the things! I greatly appreciate this! You might consider bringing a couple extra blankets as the management company coverlets are very thin. wifi was a tad spotty at times. But overall these are only things I can think of that would help someone staying there in the future. We had a great stay and appreciated all of it.

Beautifully Amazing!!

This property completely exceeded my expectations! When you first turn into the cottage community, it is extraordinarily clean and very inviting. The house was even better! Beautifully decorated, open but allowed privacy, and the views of the bay were amazing! THe short walk to the beach was relaxing with an easy path to get there. I appreciate the extra amenity of allowing pets with a deck equipped with a gate for our fur family to enjoy the beautiful surroundings with us.

Perfect getaway!

My mother, dog, three daughters (11, 14, and 15) and I stayed here and absolutely LOVED the place! The home is stunningly beautiful, adorably decorated, impeccably clean, and had a quiet and gorgeous view of the lagoon. The walk to the beach was perfect for us (a little far for my aging mom, but not too bad). The space is so nice in the house allowing each of us some peaceful time when needed or on rainy days. Any questions we had were immediately answered, the pool is nice and not too crowded, and the complex is just perfect. I enjoyed being just far enough out of the crowded area of Gulf Shores, which was also great considering the cross walk to the beach is at a less busy and smaller part of the road. We are already planning our return to this unit for next year!

Absolutely gorgeous

This property was amazing for our family of 8. We got married on the beach & this was perfect for our parents & grandparents to join us. The house is clean, beautifully decorated & has legit everything you’d ever need while on vacation. Both the beach & pool were just a short walk & has amazing views of the lagoon from the balcony. We enjoyed the walking path & boardwalks with our 10lb dog. The only negative thing I’d have to say is the amount of stairs (20 from carport to balcony & 20 from kitchen to bedrooms). We had 3 elderly people & 1 pregnant woman with us & they found it extremely difficult to climb the stairs every day multiple times. If stairs are an issue for you I would not recommend this place. If not, I highly recommend! Overall, we would stay here again!
