Gulf Front Beach House Gulf Shores | Sunrise & Sunset Views | Sleeps 6

The location is great and was very convenient with kids to just walk right on the beach while also being just a short drive to activities, stores, and great restaurants. There could be a few minor updates with shower/ bathroom fixtures or appliances and maybe more pillows, but overall for it being a last minute and short trip it served its purpose well and we enjoyed our stay.

We loved the access to the beach! I will probably try to book again.

We really enjoyed the 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. My granddaughter had the room with the twin beds. She may bring a friend next time. The queen bed was very hard and uncomfortable but was much better after we put our 2” foam mattress topper on it. The king size bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was small but had everything we needed. So nice to be right on the beach which was not crowded at all. We enjoyed the dolphins, crabs, and other wildlife that played in the surf. There were many beautiful shells that came in on the tides. We were also very close to the Gulf Shore Park that had great paved walkways for bikes or roller skates. We celebrated my husband’s birthday dinner at the Oyster House which was a short drive from the Parsonage. Overall it was a great place for our family.

We stayed for 5 nights at this lovely house with our kids and another couple. It was the perfect size for the six of us. Great deck out back with views of the beach which was just footsteps away! The beach was very wide at this location and not very crowded in early October. Great house!

Overall the stay was great. Great location nice house, just needs alittle updating!

Everything was great. If I had any suggestions, it would be laminated guide for TV. Instructions on how to use DVR. The ice maker was the biggest disappointment.

This property has great potential, but the owner needs to invest in updating, deep cleaning, and both cosmetic and functional maintenance. Vacationers are spending hard-earned money and using vacation time - the rental property is a huge component in enjoying your time away from home. It should be nice, comfortable, and maintained like a home. I should have taken heed to the majority of reviews on VRBO that advised of uncleanliness and the need for repairs, but I assumed the owners would have responded to that information by now. They charge a $290 cleaning fee . . . not sure how that's justified. We visited in the off season. The abandoned twin mattress laying beside the driveway made it easy to identify which house was ours when pulling in. I'm assuming the place hadn't been cleaned since early fall? There's a strong mildew odor in the home. The dead roach laying in the middle of the floor and spiders in the bathrooms were an indicator no one had vacuumed or cleaned in a while. A brief list of several issues . . . master toilet continues to run - you have to mess with the flopper to stop it. Master bedroom sink drips continuously. Hole ripped in master shower curtain liner. Mattresses are noisy (just sitting on bed makes loud noise) and uncomfortable. Master bed had what looked like mascara marks on sheets. Bedding in all bedrooms is tired, thin, and worn out. The place needs repainted, new faucets, updated decor. The curtains are not wide enough to cover the entire windows. The sliding door is tricky to lock and leaves an open gap at the bottom when closed. There are cross stitched beach scenes, seashell decor, and lighthouse knickknacks ad nauseum. The deck and stairs need staining. The fence on the dunes has collapsed. The AC unit looks rusty and dilapidated. Throw rugs should be provided inside to catch sand, the exterior mats were sand-filled. The furniture is worn out, uncomfortable, and some even have stains. There's many more fundamental cleaning and maintenance issues, but you get the idea. The home did have newer tile on the main level. The electric fireplace was nice on cool evenings. The location was great. Owner, do yourself a favor and bring in professionals to service functional issues and update the place! Your neighbors appear to be making renovations. People don't want to pay to stay in an antiquated home. I didn't intend to provide a bashing review, but I hope the owner takes action.

we enjoyed our stay for the most part! Outside shower was broken and property manager was notified next day of stay, with not being fixed until late day of day before leaving! Kitchen was not very clean with a lot of dust and broken cookies on top of refrigerator and dust and dirt in closets. Overall beautiful home, however management and cleaning could be better!

The house was nice, appliances were up to date, easy access to the beach, overall experience was good.

We had a wonderful time renting this house!
