Pictures are deceiving
This house has the potential to be fabulous. The location couldn’t be much better but the furniture is so old, dirty and uncomfortable it’s hard to enjoy it when you’re inside. The pictures that are posted on the rental sites much be from years ago. It’s the same furniture but with a lot more wear and tear. The cookware wasn’t any better. We were pretty disappointed. I sent the property manger pictures and they said they would adress it after out stay. Hopefully they will.

Sweet vacay
We had a great stay. Our concerns were safety for our toddler... the front door didnt lock on the inside (we shoved a chair under the door knob), and the sliding glass door was hard to latch and get locked. The other houses are butted up close, so that could be a concern depending on when you come.. we came in the middle of the week and didnt get neighbors until the weekend, which was nice. We came durring hurricane francine and were worried with other reviews of the property, but it was an overall good stay for us (family of 6)

Great Location, Completely Unkept
The location is perfect, and easily the best part of the property. The property is old and could use some updating, but that could be completely ignored if it weren't absolutely disgusting. Both bathrooms were covered in mold, like true green and black chunky mold. The whole property was covered in dirt, dust and grime. The sofa itself was sunken, worn and in desperate need of a washing. I should have trusted the previous reviews because they were completely spot on. I loved the location and ease of access to the beach, but that's where anything positive about this property ended.

Daydream Hideaway
Beautiful view, however it is a shame that all of the chairs were broken on the deck!! Based on previous reviews, this has been brought to your attention before. Someone is going to get hurt!! Washer/Dryer were good! Furniture is worn out. The sofa was so nasty, that we covered it with a sheet!! The dining room table was white, but covered in permanent marker! We had to buy a table cloth to cover if!! Sliding glass door does not lock and TV never worked in living area. Can’t beat the view and beach, a little attention to detail would have made it great!!

Disappointed stay
The view is amazing BUT the house is a disappointment. One TV didn’t work, the outside patio furniture was broken so you had no way of lounging on the back deck. All the water sport equipment listed on the website wasn’t there and what was there couldn’t be used because of damage. The pull out couch bed could not be slept on because the frame was broken to the bed. All cooking pans were old and hard to cook with. I contacted the property manager by text and sent pictures. They were quick to respond to the text but never came out to fix anything. I will not rent this property again and will not rent another property managed by Vacasa. When you pay $633 a night with all the fees you expect things to be nice and in working order.

Great Beach Front In a Quiet Location
This is a great little house with a nice deck view and easy access to a beautiful and quiet and beach with no crowds to contend with. The house and furniture inside is a little dated but functional. Overall a great experience.

Beach
The house layout was fantastic. The room upstairs is great. The views were absolutely priceless. The only thing I would say is the furniture seemed a little dungey or dirty. And the ceiling fan in the living room had tons and tons. Caked on dust, but you can't really. Expect too fancy when you're allowed to bring your dog.

Incredible Gulf-front location. House was very comfortable. We were missing some bed linens and a grill when we arrived but the online Vacasa agent notified the local management right away and they reacted quickly and courteously to provide them.

Amazing beach view
Awesome view from the kitchen, living room and deck. Very short distance to the beach. Great location in general in regards to restaurants, groceries and liquor stores. Beds were very comfy including the pillows. Bring your own cook-wear if you want to cook. Were definitely some wear and tear on the skillets. Do not depend on a grill for grilling out. (One was not located on the property as pictured.) hammock was not there, Spoke with the manager and was told it was not an amenity that was included even though it was listed and pictured. Picnic table needs replaced or repaired, be careful sitting on it. Nice having a washer and dryer. House was clean except for some sand on the floor but what do you expect, it’s a beach house lol. House needs some painting but overall a great place to stay! I would stay again at this same house!

Beautiful location but dirty
The location was perfect. Easy access to beach. Outstanding view. Home was dirty, particularly the bathrooms. Urine was caked on bottom of stools, hair in the tub drain, mold on plastic shower curtain. On a stormy afternoon, water poured into the master bedroom from the ceiling. Came down the wall and poured out of an electrical outlet. Luckily didn’t get bed wet but did get some of our belongings wet. When we called about it, they said they would address it once we left.

Would stay again!
Great location, just far enough from condos and public beaches that the beach was not occupied in front of the house. Close enough to retail and restaurants to be convenient. Coffee or breakfast on the deck with a perfect view of the beach. Kitchen and bathrooms appointed with enough amenities you don't need to bring anything. Laundry was easy to use as well. Wi-Fi sufficient for me to get my work done if I needed. If this property is available, I'd be back yearly, if not more often.

Older House on a Quiet Private Beach
Overall the house was on a quiet private beach with plenty of restaurants close by. The house was clean except under the beds and couch. Beds were comfortable but would recommend a few blankets in the house. Kitchen has basic appliances but you will need to bring all extras such as foil, non stick spray, salt and pepper, etc. There is a small store close by. We really enjoyed just hanging out on the patio in the mornings and evenings!

Great Break at Gulf Shores
The location of the house was amazing. The inside was very nice as well. The kitchen could have been better equipped. We did have to go out and buy basic kitchen equipment. Should also give a warning that minimal paper products provided. And that the house is dog friendly but dogs not allowed on beach.
