Beachfront plus cocktail pool
This property was perfect for our group of 5. We had everything we need with extra supplies when we arrived ! Only suggestion would be to have some type cover for the patio , it does get warm during the day. We can’t wait to go back !

Boscos was great!!
Location, location, location!!! Awesome to walk from deck directly onto beach and 25 yards to Gulf! Pool was nice refresher from the August heat. House is older and could use some updating with soft spots throughout in the flooring but we will definitely try to get back because the LOCATION is fantastic!

We were so impressed with this house; it was very clean. There were some soft spots on the floor but other than that is was a perfect house to stay in. There was plenty of beach and pool toys. The kitchen had everything we needed. We will definitely be back. Thank you for such an amazing time.

If you want a pure beach experience, visit Boscos.
We stayed Thanksgiving week at Boscos. The size and layout was perfect for two couples and one adult child. It was closer to the water than we gathered from the add which was a welcome plus. Quiet with minimal beach traffic. It is an older property (though it has been updated) so if you’re looking for brand new, this may not be the place for you. We found it reminiscent of childhood vacations at the beach and just what we were looking for. We would definitely go back.

Absolutely loved, want to go again!
Melissa is great! You can not beat the location! Let me repeat nothing is better than being right on the beach, especially with little ones! Little pool was so fun for them too, felt refreshing during our stay in July. Outdoor shower and hoses definitely came in handy! All the beds were super comfy. Neighborhood was so pleasant. We like being away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy beach scene, but within a quick drive to have some fun in Gulf Shores.

Right on the water!!!
This was just a few steps from the water and we absolutely loved it! The outside could use a paint job and we were worried when we pulled up, but the inside was delightful. I am sure the outside takes a beating so it was easily overlooked especially when we saw how close we were to the water. We loved it!!!!

Perfect family beach house!
Our beach vacation could not have been any better! This beach house exceeded our expectations. The house was clean, roomy, and cozy. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we could have needed. The living room was big enough for all 8 of us to hang out. Bedrooms were cozy and plenty big enough. The location was absolutely perfect! The check-in and check-out process was simple and owners were very responsive. We hated to leave this house and can’t wait to return again for future vacations. If I could give this rental 10 stars I would.

Family vacation young and old
This house was wonderful for eight adults and two children under two. Proximity to the beach and the covered pool is a real benefit. We had to do very little childproofing. The kitchen is very well equipped if you desire to cook. Our little ones quickly became used to “showering” since there isn’t a tub. Not such a problem. It was a very enjoyable vacation with multi generators.

Nice beachfront location but a bit old and dirty
Loved being right on the beach but the house itself is in need of some deep cleaning, maintenance, and updates. The split layout of the house was good for our group, but the bathrooms are quite small (especially the showers). Was good to have a full-size washer and dryer and a big refrigerator, but the ice maker in the fridge didn't work properly. The beds were comfortable, but the sofa was sagging and dirty. Kitchen was well-stocked, although some of the cabinets were junked up with mismatched kitchenware, a crockpot collection, etc. The pool was a nice bonus that the kids enjoyed when they needed a beach break. We also appreciated having lots of beach chairs, toys, floaties, etc. to use during our stay.

Melissa' place is in a great location just steps from the water! There was plenty of space for 3 couples and it was so nice to have 3 king size beds. Kitchen was a nice size and had everything you'd need.

Perfect Getaway
We spent Thanksgiving week here and had an amazing time! The house is well furnished with beautiful decor and a lot of open space. We prepared all our meals during our entire stay including Thanksgiving dinner. The kitchen is well stocked and even includes extras that past renters have left. This includes spices, aluminum foil etc. Melissa was always prompt to respond with any questions and even us accommodated with an early check in at our request. We look forward to coming back!

This was my family's third time staying at this location - the second time with the new owners. Melissa is great to work with and very responsive to questions. The house is in a great location and the ocean is just a few steps away from the house. We had a great time and can't wait to get back again next year!

The good and the bad...
When we arrived, the first initial overview of the home was good! The outside needs a little work, but that’s to be expected. Upon walking into the home we were pleased as the recent renovations look wonderful. There are several soft spots in the floor all throughout the house, so take caution in that... The front king bedroom with the swimsuit pictures above the bed has a bad soft spot at the foot of the bed. The cleanliness could just a little help. It looks as if the house keepers just run through and do a surface cleaning. The kitchen trash can had sand behind it that was visible to us as we first initially walked into the home. Both bathrooms had sand in the floor, and the corners were crusty where they had not been cleaned properly. The windows were covered in dust. Covered. As other reviewers have said, the layout is nice for multi family. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and there are plenty of things to use in the storage by the pool for the beach. We even left a few items for others to enjoy. The property owner was quick to answer while we were at the property... the light in the bedroom with the twin beds stopped working while we were there and once I text the owner about it she promptly responded. Any communication after that went downhill. I did text her on the night before we left and didn’t get a response. Nearly a week later and still no response. It appears that once our money was in her pocket she was no longer concerned. We left the house cleaner than when we found it.
