The house is very nice with TONS of space for large groups! The hangout room below is nice for teenagers to camp out in and has an extra fridge if you run out of room upstairs. The neighborhood is very peaceful and beautiful views on the water. Kids and adults took advantage of the kayaks and fishing daily off the dock. Walmart is nearby for the cheaper prices, but Pier 33 is walking distance for those last minute needs (like firewood if you didn't have room to pack like us.) Jaclyn was super responsive and awesome to work with. If we had questions she was quick to give suggestions or answer any questions we might have. One kayak was missing an oar, and she sent her friend over to grab one out of the renter's closet for us that very next day after we arrived. We went to Tacky Jacks and Doc's Seafood for dinner and both were great. Kids enjoyed Matt's icecream as well. The walk to beach wasn't bad, but we drove down to the public area with volleyball nets. Only issue at the beach was is if you have a canopy you have to go to the tent section and not near water's edge. We've stayed on the panhandle for years and never ran across that. Overall we all really enjoyed our stay and with all the kids we had they were kept entertained with the sports court and everything else to do. One side of the sports court does sit under water after it's rained much and we couldn't find the lights for the dock and outdoor area. Once the pool is added in the fall that will be very nice addition to the property. We did have to buy a bigger lobster pot for a big shrimp boil we had, so if you're feeding many you might want to bring a bigger pot, otherwise they do have one provided as well. The kitchen was stocked nicely. The renters, location, and cleanliness of the property were all great! We left the cleaning lady, Alma, some treats as she does a great job keeping such a big house clean. This was our first time to Gulf Shores and if we come back we'd definitely book with Jaclyn again as she was great to work with and her home is beautiful.
