Amazing Beachhouse
Everything was amazing from walking in to find a welcome card to all the beach toys or the canopy outside. Rooms were plenty big and beds very comfortable! Only issue was the bunk beds would squeak every little move made on them. Definitely would rent this house again.

Grandkid adventure
This house was beautiful with an amazing view ! It was our first trip to the island and loved everything about it ! The house was comfortable and accommodated our group of 12! The porch was great , well furnished and locked ! The grandkids had a blast ! We do feel the house had a few maintenance issues ,the rusted out of commission outdoor shower( had old water hose) squeaking bunk beds, no working blender or scissors and the need for serving bowels for 12 but overall it was probably our best beach trip ever !

Wonderful Vacation!!
We had 9 adults and 1 child. There was plenty of room for everyone. The patio is great for eating meals, playing games and relaxing while enjoying the view of the ocean. We loved being so close to the beach. We had a great time and will definitely come back!!

A true paradise!
This home is spacious and the layout is absolutely perfect. We were able to have plenty of room for all of our guests. We loved the porch & loved the view! We were able to walk directly onto the beach. It was a dream!

Almost Perfect
Plenty of room. 10+ showers and never ran out of hot water! More than enough towels. Quiet beach. Loved the fact that is is directly on the water/beach. Only issues was WiFi was not good enough for more than 3-4 students to do homework. WiFi issue was not a huge deal because we spent most of the time on the beach.

Stellar!
Best beach property ever! Absolutely beautiful inside and out. Gorgeous beach with wide variety of shore birds entertaining us. Fabulous beach combing-the Gulf gave us lots of gifts! We’ll be back! Consider changing front door entry, most confusing convoluted lock/unlock procedures of any rental we’ve ever visited.

Great Location
Location was great ! House was nice only recommendations is washing machine and air vents need cleaning and could use hangers in the closets. There was only 1 swing and it broke on Friday when my daughter sat in it. They did respond when we contacted them about this and came on Sunday and fixed it. Overall happy with our stay and would come back again .

Fantastic Stay!
This is a beautiful home with space enough for 10. The house was clean and loved that it was right on the beach. Waking up and sitting on the covered deck and then hanging out there in the evening was so relaxing. Also the use of the beach tent they had was a lifesaver from the summer sun. We saw dolphins everyday and loved the location further down the island. It was next to a public swim area, however we had no problems with people taking the beach in front of us. There are only a few small things I would like as a quest at this specific beach house that would make me want to come back every year. Beach towels, I know it sounds minimal but these are bulky to pack and have been offered at all other beach houses I have stayed. Trash cans in the bathrooms and a few basics in the kitchen like foil or wrap would be nice. None of these are game changers, they would just make this house a 10/10!!!!

Great getaway for 3 couples
We loved the house! It was perfect for 3 couples - plenty of space, great deck space, loved walking down the steps and being on the beach. Saw lots of dolphins! Great space for game playing in the evenings. We all said we would be happy to come back and stay at "License to Chill" again! (We did have an issue with the grill not working and it was replaced quickly, however that grill didn't work and we didn't a call back on that.)

License to Chill review
Home was very clean and inviting. The deck is amazing and if the weather had been nicer we would have spent a lot of time there. The beds in the bunk room squeaked loudly if you moved the slightest bit which lead to those guests not sleeping well. My car got stuck due to the large amount of loose sand in the middle of drive which lead us to needing to park just after you turn off road. Thankfully, a good neighbor helped us. This might be a common occurrence in this area due to close proximity to the beach, but it would have been nice to be warned we might need four wheel drive. I reported this to Vacasa at time of trip and they said they would make a note of it. Otherwise, it is a lovely home!

Great location
The house is right on the water with a nice big deck to sit on and enjoy the ocean views and sounds. The house has a great lay out and is spacious for a large group. The kitchen has enough utensils and pots and pans to cook a good meal but for one good sauce pan and pasta pot, the quality is poor. While we enjoyed our stay and the house, it could use a little tlc. Most of the shelves in the upper cabinets can’t be used because they are missing pegs that keep them in place. The walls are scuffed and could really use some paint. As so many previous guests have commented, the curtains in the ocean bedrooms are so sheer you are forced to wake up with the birds. We had a few questions during our stay and Vacasa was very responsive.

Great deck on the beach
Overall we loved our stay with the house clean and right on the beach and the perfect size for 6 adults and 6 kids. We did have lots of problems getting in/out of the driveway, often getting stuck in the sand that was very deep and having to push vehicles out. We also did not have any satellite throughout the entire stay which was reported the first night and someone came to check but was unable to fix at that time and we never heard back. The back deck stairs also move a lot when walking up/down and appear as if they need more support. Finally we had very strange power issues where the lights and appliances would go in/out like we were going to lose power for the last two days. We first thought this was a wind issue but no other houses around us had the same problem. We did enjoy our stay but it seems as if the house could use some maintenance.

Gorgeous, roomy beachfront treasure
The check in process was easy and the property is roomy and gorgeous. It is beautifully decorated. We cooked and had adequate tools in the kitchen. We had 4 adults with all kinds of sewing tables and machines for a quilt retreat. We had plenty of room for all that! The communication with Vacasa was good through email and texting. We submitted a maintenance request for an annoying kitchen faucet that just would not turn off, and they put in a work ticket, but it still wasn’t fixed 3 days later when we checked out. The internet is painfully slow. Someone needed to do a zoom meeting that didn’t work well. It is a rural part of AL, so probably not a lot of internet providers to compete. The TV was great for the game on Saturday, though! I would absolutely love to come back and stay here again, assuming I don’t need internet access. Be aware there are stairs and no handicap access.
