Great location. Love the privacy of a home versus a busy condo building with long elevator waits. Would stay here again if I went back to gulf shores.

This is our second time to stay here during our spring break trip! Great location, peaceful, and only steps away from the beach. Both times we got a message with early check-in access and that's a huge plus for my family.
House is beautiful and equipped! Enjoyed our stay! Thanks for having us!

We really enjoyed our stay! Everything was clean and in great condition. The ac unit was performing as it should but they had someone out within an hour and had it fixed. They were very helpful every time I messaged before and during our stay.

The cottage was amazing. It was clean and well prepped for us. They managed to text us an invite for an early check-in which they did not promise nor did we expect. The beach access was super close and safely walkable for my teenagers.
I felt like the ads made the cottage out to be a standalone home rather than a cottage among other cottages. I thought the pool was going to be part of of one home rather than a shared pool. This is probably more on me than them.

Thank you for the review, Joe! We are thrilled to hear that you found the cottage amazing and well-prepped for your stay.

Great location with easy beach access. House was clean, without clutter and kitchen was well equipped for all of our cooked meals. We had an unfortunate situation with the washing machine messing up and they were quick to response and send someone out to fix. Then the dryer quit the next day, again they were quick to response however due to it being Easter weekend no one was able to fix it. They offered to wash/dry our pile of dirties and a late checkout because who wants to take home dirty clothes, but we had other obligations back at home. Overall our stay was great and we will consider staying here again for our future trips.

Thanks so much for your feedback, Kristen! We are thrilled to that you enjoyed the location, easy beach access, and well-equipped kitchen at our property. We apologize for the inconvenience with the washing machine and dryer but we're glad our team was quick to respond and assist during your stay. We appreciate your understanding and patience during the Easter weekend, and we would love to welcome you back for your future trips. Please do consider staying with us again!

Easy access to the beach with just a 5 minute walk! We loved how everything was nearby. The souvenir stores, restaurants, & grocery stores were just a quick 5-7 minute drive. If you are a light sleeper, the vehicles passing through the main road may wake you up during the night. However, if you can sleep through it, this location would be a perfect location.

Clean, cute and comfortable! Great place to stay while we visited our daughter during her internship. Night time hotspots were within walking distance as well as close beach access!
