Can’t wait too book again!
Everything about this property was perfect. Location was just the right amount of distance from traffic so we didn’t hear loud vehicles all night, but close enough to walk to restaurants and souvenir shops. Being able to park our vehicle beneath the rental saved us whenever the rain came. Plus the shade kept our vehicle cool in the summer heat. Kids loved sitting on the screened-in back patio anytime we took a break from activities. The canal behind the property is a bonus if you bring a kayak or SUP board. If there were any cons, I’d have to say water pressure in the hallway bathroom is noticeably weaker than the bathroom inside the bedroom. Not a real issue though since the kids preferred the weaker pressure. We truly enjoyed our stay. Can’t wait to book again!

Nice little duplex
This is a nice little duplex on the canal in the middle of Gulf Shores. Easy walk to store and restaurants nearby. Couple of blocks to the beach. Property was a little old but maintained fairly well. Bedrooms were spacious and beds very comfortable. Screened porch was nice to have on the back facing the canal.

Unprofessional
Check in was ok, but when we walked in it had a musty smell that never went away throughout house. When our stay came to an end on May 24th, we left the property at checkout time, then we got 2 calls back to back I didn't recognize the number so, I didn't answer because I was driving. Then I received 2-3 text messages and calls up to around 1:00pm. I arrived at home then I listened to my voice mails that was from the property owner Shonna and I also received a voice mail from Vrbo telling me that I need to leave the property right now, because my check out time was for 10am they threaten to call the cops and said that we were trespassing because her housekeeper said that we were still on the property at 1pm. So, I texted Shonna back to let her know that we were off your property at checkout time and that there were several cars from the other party there and that we were already back at home. I also informed the property manager Shonna of the musty smell through the house. I have been on multiple house rentals throughout the US and that was the worst unprofessional experience I have ever had and I would like a refund. I have the messages if you would like to hear them.

Had a great stay!
We had a great stay here. It was very clean and quiet. The location was only a 10-15 minute walk to many great places. The only downside is that we were only given 1 trash bag and a couple of rolls of toilet paper for a 5 day stay with 6 people so bring more if you think you’ll need more than that! Thanks for a great place to stay!

Loved the location
My husband and I (+1 dog) loved the location. Just a couple blocks from beach. Very easy walk. Close to restaurants and shops. This duplex could use updating. But plenty of beds for 8 people. No bugs and very quiet neighborhood. On a dead-end street. Bonnie G

This property had plenty of room for our family of 8! My sister and her family were able to also stay at the adjoining property and it was perfect while we were in town for a family wedding! We looked at possibly coming back and staying when the weather was warmer!

Quick trip to see friends
The place was great! Everything was great as soon as we walked in the house. Even had ice ready in the freezer. Easy to the beach. Shops and food were close by. Quiet area. Just perfect. Hopefully we can get back down here. If we do we will definitely stay here again. Everything clean and ready for us.

Great value!
The property is as described. It offers plenty of sleeping arrangements to accommodate a wide variety of visitor dynamics. We really enjoyed having the stream in the back & the covered space under the house. The screened in porch with the ceiling fan was wonderful. It's in a great location as well. There are a couple of things that could be improved. For example, the tv's in the bedrooms don't work with the streaming services the way the living room tv does (or at least we couldn't get them to work), and the kitchen could use some updates. BUT the freezer had several ice trays that were filled & frozen, ready for drinks & coolers. I fully appreciated that small consideration! Definitely the best option for the price we paid!

Although the property was a bit dated, I would absolutely stay there again. It was clean and we enjoyed the 10 or so minute walk to the beach. There was plenty to see and do in the area. The neighborhood rooster wake up calls were an added 'bonus'!!!
