Affordable, modest location
Not the fanciest place we've stayed but very reasonably priced and location was near to events we were attending. The interior is showing some wear and tear but was clean and the furniture/beds were comfortable (I would rate mattresses as medium firmness). As others mentioned, ceiling fans in the bedrooms would help with comfort. We will likely stay here again next time we are in town for an event.

This stay was for a fishing trip. I was able to park my boat along with my truck. The location was great. The price was good too. The house itself could use a few minor repairs that I’m sure will be fixed since tourist season is over.

The property was just like the pictures, the location was great only a 3 minute walk to the beach, and pretty close to other places like restaurants, convenience stores and gift shops. The host was responsive and polite. Would book again.

Affordable and Great Location
We loved being able to walk everywhere especially to the beach. The property is clean. I will say that you definitely need to bring extra toilet paper and towels. Other than that, we look forward to booking again.

Almost Perfect
The property was nice, clean and close to everything. The only downside was the area right outside the property wasn't pet friendly. My dog immediately got several thorns in her paw. After that indcident. I didn't let her walk around the area of the property. I had to take her accorss the street in the grassy area to do her business. Other than that, the property was great.

The unit is in a great location, about two blocks/five minute walk to the beach. It's a little dated, but had great A/C and a really nice washer/dryer combo. As stated in the notice, only one starter roll of TP and paper towels, so be prepared to take/buy more. Limited towels, but can wash as needed, but have extra detergent/dryer sheets on hand. Limited TV channels, but at the beach that's not an issue for us. Could use some upgrades in bathroom and bedding, but sufficient for what we needed.

So happy with our stay
We had such a great 3 day visit and having the perfect place to stay made that happen. We loved being close enough to walk everywhere...beach, shops, food and even a wildlife sanctuary where we saw an alligator! The home was so convenient, clean and very comfortable!! We would love to come again! Highly recommend

Great location
This condo is tucked away off the main strip so there is not much street noise. It’s an easy walk to restaurants, shops, and less than a half mile from the beach. Parking is easy because you don’t have to share space with others. There is a bike rental place within walking distance. The condo itself was very clean. Kitchen was stocked with all the basics needed to cook meals. As far as soaps and cleaning go, they give you just what you need for a short trip. They provide basic bath towels and washcloths. We brought our own beach towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, paper towels, extra trash bag, and shower items. The bed was very comfortable. Something I need to remember when we travel to coastal places, bring a small fan to help circulate the air at night. It’s not just this condo, it’s just a humid coastal thing that I forget about until I go to bed. We were very pleased with this place and have added it to our favs list for future trips.

Walking distance to just about everything
Clean unit that you share other half of building. Definitely close to beach, restaurants/bars, shops. You cannot walk your fur kids on the beach But everywhere else you can. Not much in the way of extra amenities so bring toilet paper, roll toweling, kleenex, all purpose cleaner & only 4 bath towels but a nice washer and dryer (bring detergent) If you cook, not even salt and pepper. Would I go back, probably not but only because there are too many stairs to climb to get to the unit.

Great time at Gulf Shores
The property was very comfortably furnished and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well supplied with dishware, glasses, utensils, & cooking pans. The bathroom was clean and the shower was great! The bedrooms were also nicely decorated and had comfortable beds - though we only slept in one of them! Importantly, the beach was less than a five-minute walk from the house, and good restaurants abounded. We highly recommend this rental.

Not clean.
The booking and confirmation and communication and location all great. The cleanliness and maintenance i was dissatisfied with. Had to place a cover over the couch to sit on it due to the sand. The rugs at entrance are a trip hazard and had to cut breakers on to get lights to work in second bedroom and hall.

Short stay, three nights Location absolutely great, off main roads so easy in and out while quiet/no traffic, 3 short blocks to beach, easy walk to several good restaurants, quick drive to many more Amenities were good, agree with review about length of shower curtain, bar should be raised 3 or 4 inches to eliminate the tripping/fall hazard; would recommend bringing/buying your own TP, single ply stuff provided not very good. Definitely recommended!

Great location
The location was perfect for our stay. Overall a great property but a couple of recommendations: it would have been helpful to have a broom, toaster and some dish soap. Also the shower curtain liner is too long and has the potential for causing falls in the shower.
