    Good location, well equipped kitchen. Furniture was a little dated but the beds were comfy and we had what we needed. We had 5 kids under 10. Only complaint was the height of the shower on the main level. It was a little short for my hubby. Fine for everyone else. Would stay here again.

    Our stay was perfect for our Girlfriends Weekend Getaway. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. The description was 100% accurate. The open layout of the main level was perfect for our large group to spread out but still be together.

    We had a great stay overall and truly enjoyed our time in Gulf Shores. We chose this home for its proximity to the beach, the canal behind the house for fishing, the price point, and the photos—and the location did not disappoint. Being able to enjoy both the beach and canal made for a memorable vacation.That said, there were a few issues worth noting for future guests. While the home looks beautiful in the listing photos, some aspects were misleading. Several kitchen cupboards were broken, did not close properly, and were screwed shut, limiting their use. We also found dirty dishes put away in the cabinets, with food still stuck on them, which was disappointing.The bedding was extremely thin, making nights cold, and the pillows were very flat and uncomfortable. Additionally, the drains in the downstairs bathroom were slow to drain, and the living room remotes did not work until new batteries were installed.For a home that accommodates a larger group, the kitchen trash can was quite small—especially for a family that prepared and ate most meals at the house. Lastly, we were unable to use either the indoor or outdoor fireplaces, which was unfortunate during a winter stay.Overall, we had a wonderful time and loved the location, but some maintenance, cleanliness, and comfort updates would significantly improve the experience and better align the home with its listing photos.

    We had a great time; the outdoor area was wonderful! House was clean. Electric Can opener was broken and hand held one was hard to use. Loved 2 types of coffee pots. We will return!

    Unplugged is one of the best locations on West Beach Blvd. It is very close to everything, Pier 33 (groceries and supplies) in walking distance for last minute items. Even though it is on the bay side, it is only 1 block to beach access--again just an all around great location. Unplugged is equiped with everything you need for a great Beach vacation.

    We loved the beach area out back for the small kids to play in while the adults fished off the dock. We also loved how the kitchen was equipped to cook for a large family. And the location near Pier 33 was awesome. It was lovely being so close to the beach, although there is not Beach access until a couple blocks down the street. But we made it work. Overall stay was amazing!

    Perfect house for us! We had kids from 6ths all the way to 17yo and they loved it. FYI bring your own seasoning. Also bring extra toilet paper and paper towels. We were provided with one roll of each and went through that quickly. Overall was a great stay.

    My family’s annual vacation was great! This house is tastefully decorated & has plenty of room for two families. It sits in a convenient location with a short walk to the beach. The house has everything you need to cook & eat if you want. We enjoyed our stay

    I’m not real sure where to start. Not sure if I should be angry at Vrbo, Itrip,or the owners of this property. And none of the reviews or the description of this property did say anything about flooring that you had to step up or down. The drops in the floor were poorly marked Old rugs that needed to be replaced. We had to rearrange furniture. Friday night my sister-in-law fell. I contacted I trips and all they said is sorry we could call Maintenance out. On Friday, I talked to another employee of ITrip She expressed that she was very sorry but again didn’t offer any resolution. I even inquired about trying to get something documented on paper. They acted like that was not possible. Saturday after my sister went down to the pier and came back up the stairs and turned to the left. There was a drop off, she fell and hurt herself badly. I tried to call ITrip again and the first guy answered the phone so I hung up. I have been on the phone for a week from 30 minutes to 1 hour each call. Still not getting results. All they tell me is that it’s been expedited and the homeowner has been notified. Please do not book this property until repairs have been done. I’m not sure how you will know because in the description, it has nothing stating unlevel flooring throughout the house. The rugs were old and we had to move the furniture to make sure no one would trip over the rugs. I am very disappointed after seven years of booking through VRBO that we had to experience this.
