Beautiful stay
Was a good location and a nice home. Appears to have been recently remodeled. There were no beach chairs nor beach towels provided. There are several nearby shops where these can be purchased. Not an issue for us but there is not a grill provided. Just fyi. Enjoyed our stay!

Great Place to Stay
This was a perfect place to stay for a short trip. This house is directly on the beach with maybe 100ft to the water. Lots of parking and community space with two living rooms and a large kitchen and eating area. Easy parking and overall a great place to stay.

Girls Getaway
Great property! Well stocked kitchen. Plenty of room and seating for a group of 5-8 very comfortably. Deck and beach access is amazing. Loved sitting on the deck and watching the wildlife while listening to the gulf waves! Easy access with car into the busier downtown or neighboring towns for any activities. Highly recommend!

Perfect little beach house!
Very clean and cute beach house! I loved that they did subtle decorations for Christmas! We had 7 people in our pastry, everyone had their own space and really enjoyed the deck space too! Would definitely book this property again!

Best Beach Rental Ever!
After having a few bad experiences with beach rentals, La Gloria did not disappoint! It was very clean, well organized, large living spaces and comfortable bedroom and bathroom spaces. There was a well stocked kitchen, and our family is still raving about the cleanliness of the property. It was a short, easy walk onto the beach. We hope to rent this property again in the future and make it our "go to" for future family beach vacations!

Immaculate with a view!
This was the absolute perfect beach house! It is so spacious, was incredibly clean, and mere steps to the beach. I would absolutely return here over and over! The only thing that could have made it better was bigger coffee mugs (I like big cups and I cannot lie). Yep, literally only the coffee mugs. Can’t wait to come back soon!

We love La GLoria
This is our 2nd year to stay @ La Gloria. We plan to come back next year. It's a great house for a bunch of longtime friends. We love that there are no stairs once we get inside. We also love that it has covered and open decks. If it's raining or if we've had too much sun the covered deck is great, it's also a great place for a drink or snack. On the days that the wind is blowing sand everywhere, we enjoy sunning on the open deck. It's just the perfect house to us. Very convenient location to everything in Gulf Shores. Very easy to access the beach also.

Great Spot!
Stayed here with my family. There were 7 of us plus a baby and there was plenty of space! Loved the two separate living areas, but the deck was by far the best part of the house. The kitchen had everything we needed, we cooked every night. 10/10 would book again. Actually we are already planning on booking again for next summer!

Family Wedding Weekend
We were there for a family wedding weekend. There was a terrible storm the day of the wedding, but the house was perfect for last minute changes and set up for the ceremony. Great house plan for a large family, with several adults. Would rent again.

Beautiful outdoor area!
The house was clean and beautiful decorations. We loved the space and beds were comfortable. The few complaints we had were the light in one of the bathrooms didn’t work, it says they have cable but it was not accessible-you could use Roku. Also tv remotes were missing. The string lights were not working which I was looking forward to. It would be nice to have the lights on the deck stairs work so you can see them. One suggestion we have would be to have a gate to your cars that locks from inside the property. It would be easier to bring beach stuff in and out without trailing sand through the house. Just a thought. Overall we loved the house and would definitely stay here again.

La Gloria
The property has a great location. Excellent neighborhood and beautiful beach. The views can’t be beat. The house is clean and well kept. The bathrooms could use a few more drying hooks/rods. And the washer/dryer unit is so loud and located in such away that no television or conversation can be had while it is running. Overall, though, a great space for entertaining and relaxing. The decor is tasteful and lovely. The deck was a favorite with wonderful patio furniture and lights. The check in/out process was very easy and convenient. On the downside, the kitchen wasn’t well stocked for anyone planning on doing any cooking. No coffee filters, no salt and pepper, etc. There weren’t any games stocked in the house for those rainy days which was a definite issue. The quality of the paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels was very poor. And one of the couch recliners was broken. The lack of a grill, beach chairs, umbrella and sand toys detracts from the appeal of La Gloria. With a little more thought, though, this property would be a five star getaway. We enjoyed our stay!

Lovely layout and location…with some areas for improvement
We really loved staying in this home! The layout was perfect for our little family and the location can’t be beat. Everything was clean on arrival and the check in/out process was very smooth. It’s worth noting some areas that could be improved upon, though, especially for families with young children as there are a number of safety issues on the property that would affect them in particular: - On our arrival we found two windows with corroded latches. The windows were two of the floor to ceiling windows so Littles who could get the windows open could easily just tumble out to the ground about 14 feet below. I called Vacasa 4 separate times about this and they did eventually send someone out who affixed a wooden block to prevent the windows from being able to be lifted, but it was a temporary solution and one that needs to be fixed in order to make this place (permanently) safe. - the other major safety issue we encountered was around the railings and balusters on the porch and stairs at the beachside. Several of them are rotted out. Ask my toddler, he found every single one that he could possibly fall through because it was broken and/or the screws were pulled out. There were probably about five areas that needed repair. Honestly, the deck is in really poor condition, as other reviewers also noted, and they should probably just rebuild it all together. But at the very least, it should be reinforced and made safer. - Speaking of which, the balusters on the deck are very wide. My 11 month old baby could crawl through them and fall to the ground if we hadn’t had a super close eye on him. my kids really know how to find safety hazards, don’t they? ;) - Home could really use some extras, such as beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, buckets etc. I understand that Vacasa is minimalist in what they offer in short term rentals, I am a STR host myself and I get it, but it is extraordinarily wasteful for those who fly in from out of town to have to go buy these things just for one week. - no string lights on porch as advertised (as also mentioned in other reviews from months ago.) some nice warm ambient lights, even solar lanterns, would go a long way at nighttime on the porch. Other than this, it really was an absolutely wonderful stay and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. We are so grateful to the owners were opening up their lovely home to renters!

Pleasant Surprise
We have had bad luck in past with cleanliness and overall upkeep of beach front rentals specifically. This far surpassed my expectations. My husband and I agreed we have not been to another VRBO rental that was this clean. My only negative is there were zero throw blankets in the home, so that would be a nice addition. The house is spacious and has beautiful gulf views. My toddler loved the bunk room and having his own space. We would love to stay here again, as it was the perfect size and location and very reasonable price.
