Bea By The Sea a 3-bedroom beachfront home in Gulf Shores by Prickett Properties

Everything was super clean! It's a great spot on the beach. We didn't have to fight over chairs like at the condos. They even had a few toys available. There was a nice, clean gas grill, just the perfect size for our family (two kids, mom, dad, and grandparents) Plus, there were a couple of shops nearby. The upstairs deck was awesome. If I could add one thing, it would be a gate going down to the beach. There's a nice shower and a perfect little walkway down to the beach where you have the place all to yourself. Definitely recommend this place! They've got a ton of stuff available – tons of puzzles, games, and books. I give it a solid 10 out of 10!

Great place with great location steps from beach. We loved using the grill as much as we could.

Great place, as advertised, stand-alone home directly on the beach, can’t ask for much more for the price.

Ocean visible. Ac cool. Great location on quiet beach.

Cleanliness, cooking tools, deck were highlights.

We had a wonderful stay despite the rain, off and on, the first part of our week. The location was awesome and we had fun relaxing on the beach, playing games and spending time with friends! We hope to go back!

Home was beautifully decorated. Ocean view was gorgeous. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was stocked well. A few problems were noted about the house. The deck was not clean. Sand and broken shells were everywhere. The toilet's ran off and on all day and night. The master bedroom door was difficult to shut and lock due to rusted plates. We were only left with a half roll of toilet paper in the master bathroom, which was tacky. Also, a wad of hair was found on the master bedroom spread. Housekeeping needs improvement. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

Definitely booking again next year! Check in was so easy! The location was perfect! The A/C (which is a big deal to me), was perfect!! We’ve been coming down for years and years, and I think this may be my favorite house I’ve stayed in.

Perfect stay for a girls trip! Beautifully decorated, well stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, etc…. Loved the deck, all the room outside, the windows in the master bedroom and living room that gave us a perfect view of the beach and the gulf….. so close we could hear the waves!!

Great place

This could have been an amazing trip, but sadly it was lackluster due to the fact that the lagoon behind the home conducts weekly water testing which can lead to court-ordered dredging of black sediment. This is then pumped into the water in front of the house via a pipeline. Please zoom in on one of the beach pictures and you will see a backhoe that also operates throughout the day to compact sand for the pipe. After some investigating I learned that this has been an issue for nearly 3 decades, so management and the owner should certainly be aware of it. This made the water almost black and earthy smelling for half of our trip when the wind shifted and the sediment flowed to the poor souls to the left of us. All of our neighbors were also extremely upset. When you spend the money for a beachfront home, as we did for my mom’s 70th, you have a right to know this is a possibility before signing a rental agreement. I reached out to the management company twice before getting a response and was then assured my request for a partial refund would be considered, but I never received a follow-up. There were also electrical issues in the house. Lights randomly turning on and off or glitching. I let the management company know as it could be a major safety risk to others. I didn’t want to leave a negative review, but as potential renters, folks deserve to know the situation since it is not disclosed in the listing. I would strongly suggest renting a place far from Lagoon Pass.

The whole place was nice and clean

The rental was as described. Very clean we had no issues with the house. Great view of the Gulf and beach. I would rent again!

We chose this house mainly for its unbeatable location — literally right on the beach — and the fact that it was a standalone home. The views and access to the beach couldn’t have been better, and the setting really made the trip special.That said, the house did feel a bit cluttered due to an overabundance of furniture and décor. Most of it wasn’t necessary and actually took away from the overall comfort of the space. We also experienced some maintenance issues — the lights would flicker in multiple rooms, and the master bathroom toilet kept refilling every few minutes.These are all things that could be easily addressed, and if they were, the house would be much more cozy and enjoyable. We’d definitely consider coming back if those small updates were made — the location alone is hard to beat!

We absolutely loved the property. Quite and beautiful atmosphere was to be had every day and night. The besch area was clean and the water was crystal clear. We will be going back to this property again.

This home was perfect for our needs, the beach access was amazing for the teens.

Our family loved our stay at this beachfront home in Gulf Shores, AL! The beach access was a standout, letting us step right onto the shore whenever we wanted. We appreciated the location—it was far enough from the condo complexes to avoid crowds, giving us a peaceful beach experience, yet close enough to easily enjoy the town’s attractions. The house was spacious and perfect for our family, with plenty of room to spread out and relax. We had a blast exploring nearby spots and highly recommend this place for a balanced, memorable getaway!

A great week on the beach.

Overall, the stay was fine. Could use some sprucing up. Doors facing the gulf are very difficult to open.

Absolutely perfect home, location was great and home was clean and had everything we needed!

The house and beach access were perfect. The dishwasher didn’t seem to work and a wicker shelf in the master bath may never have been dusted. The dining room table is very very wobbly. We worked a puzzle there and it nearly gave way when we leaned on it just a bit. These are minor, tho, it was all perfect for us!
