Welcome to Playa Paradise Retreat—your “wake up happy” beach house in the heart of Gulf Shores, where the days are easy, the walk to the water is short, and everyone gets their own space to unwind.

    Kristi is an amazing host-super quick at reaponding to any questions. The home is beautiful and in a great location. Each couple in our family had their own bedroom and en suite bath. The bunk room was perfect for the kids and also had an ensuite bath. There were games and also some great puzzles that were thorougly enjoyed. It's a convenient walk to the beach-love the wagon to cart all the fun beach things and also walking distance to The Beach House restaurant, ice cream shop, seafood shop, and mini mart. Highly recommend-you wont be disappointed!

    Let me summarize our stay with two main points. First, our contact person and I think the owner of the property was simply outstanding. I had a couple of questions before we arrived and she responded to me immediately. We never had any problems with the home so there was no reason to contact her during our stay. Second, the property was was exactly as it was presented online. It was clean, spacious, and everything we needed during our stay was there. A great experience. Good people, great location, fantastic property.

    Overall property was as represented online. Property was clean and well maintained. Liked having a separate bathroom for each bedroom. Location is good with easy access to the beach. Beach items (chairs, kids toys and etc) are a plus.Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider this location again in our future travels.

    Playa Paradise Retreat is top-notch. The home is very clean, well appointed, beautifully decorated, comfortable, and in the perfect location. It is a very short walk to the beach. There are Lifeguards on duty close by the access point to the beach, which was great! The pool was a great bonus to relax in. The games were awesome for the kids, and the home is very kid-friendly. It is located close by a lot of good places to eat, the West Beach Coffee House is a must! The Dizzy Turtle Latte was a perfect start to a perfect stay! Kristi is very easy to communicate with and responded very quickly to our questions. Will definitely stay there again!

    We were pleasantly surprised at how nice the place is. We took four teenagers and three adults and there were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. It's an easy way all to the beach. It also has several nice patio decks. Large kitchen was great ady to feed many.
