We have stayed at this complex once before and picked this property because of it's view of the lagoon, and the view did not disappoint! This property was a little smaller than the other one we had stayed at before. While it is laid out well and has a good use of space, the walls are thin and you can hear everything inside and outside (the people on the porch next to us in the early morning sounded like they were in our room). This is not the fault of the property owner, but you might want to bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. The decor is beautiful, but they need a new master bed (the whole thing creeks terribly when you get up and the mattress is lumpy), and the outdoor couch definitely needs new cushions. The kitchen is well stocked, but a Keurig would be have been nice to have since most properties do that now and there were no kitchen scissors that we could find. The main thing for us was smell in the property was not good (like some sort of cleaner to cover up smoking or moth balls), so much so that all of our stuff smells like it. We thought it would go away at first, by leaving the doors open to air it out, but every time we came back to the house it was still there. We didn't call management about this because it wasn't something that could be fixed and it wasn't going to ruin our trip, but I do want to mention it here so that it can be fixed for future guests. Overall, it was a good trip and we enjoyed the view and the close walk to the beach!

The property was great. We were close to the beach and the intercoastal sand bar. Time to enjoy the waves and a walk out the peir in the morning.

I booked this property for myself, my husband, our two kids, my parents and my sister. We had a good stay!
My only complaint is that, as travelers who usually stay in hotels, we were looking forward to having the washer and dryer to use for the week. However when I opened the door to the washer/dryer it smelled very musty/mildewy so we did not use it.
This can't be helped but I'll also mention that these units are very very close to each other. We could easily hear the people next to us talking. Would have been nice if the porches were built with some sort of privacy screen on the sides.
Other than that we had a good experience and I would come back! The bunk bed room was perfect for us and our two kids. My parents were very comfortable in the master and my sister in the queen bed. Everything was clean and ready when we arrived. I appreciated having a vacuum to clean up all the sand we tracked in every day. We started every morning sitting on the porch and enjoying the view of the lagoon.
The beach was an easy 3 minute walk along the paved path that ran behind the community. The pool was also very easy to get to. We found a beach chair, a wagon and some pool toys in the carport.
Above all the property manager was very responsive to any questions we had which put my mind at ease!

This is a family community and we enjoyed the placement of the condo, close to the beach and a conveniently a very short drive to anything. The only thing I found that didn’t match the property was the cooking supplies were severely lacking, pans we old and scrapped up, 3 bowls and no storage containers. Plenty of glasses, coffee cups etc. This place was very nice I just had high expectations of cooking utensils. Also, bring your own toilet paper, paper towel, soaps, laundry detergent, dish soap, dishwasher soap, there’s don’t supply or leave leftovers.

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend at this beautiful cottage. It was conveniently located near everything, beach, restaurants, and shopping! My family loved walking on the pier in the morning and watching the fish jump out of the lake to eat in the mornings! The cottage was very clean and it was plenty of room for my family of 7! We will be back soon!

My family and I stayed at this home for three nights and we’re absolutely in love with the property from the moment we walked in. Everything we could have needed was available to us. The rooms were plenty big, the beautiful high ceilings on both floors add to the spaciousness. Plenty of bathrooms and showers! The location was quiet, with an easy walk to the beach, and a beautiful back deck to enjoy our coffees and to watch the evening sunset. We loved the use of the outside shower head to rinse off after our time at the beach. The on-site pool was great as well. Nice and clean. I hope to be back someday!

The cottage is decorated very nice and very clean. We have normally stayed in houses right on the beach, so we didn’t enjoy walking that much. It was a short distance though. There was plenty of room for the 8 of us. Loved having the 4 bathrooms to get ready in the evenings. We would definitely recommend staying there to others!

Wonderful stay!!
We were in town for a softball tournament but had never been to the area of Gulf Shores. I was nervous booking anything online but everything was just as nice as it looked in the listing and better. We would definitely stay here again. Great location!! Very quiet! We felt safe letting the girls walk to the beach and back (under the bridge) and morning coffee, looking out over the lagoon was peaceful and perfect! Beautiful home! Very clean!!

Lovely Home! Peace & Quiet with Easy Acess to Hustle & Bustle!!
Our family of 6 had a great stay at the Angell Family Beach House! Close, easy beach access and a great pool. We loved the marsh view and sunsets from the balcony. We made great use of the walking path each morning to kick start our walk. State Park nearby where you can rent bikes for FREE and ride trails for 3 hours. The home is beautiful and the 4 bathrooms were a hit with 4 teen boys. The kitchen was well stocked. Communication with property management was easy and they were super responsive. When we arrived they were no hangers or bowls - both were delivered to us within 2 hours of communication. Great parking available under unit. The bunk room is small and the ladder makes the pullout bed tricky to use. But my (large) teen boys made it work with no complaints. Should work even better for others. Box fans provided in 2 of the 3 bedrooms.
The Hangout is SUPER FUN - totally worth the wait. And plenty to do while you're waiting. Hog Wild BBQ is absolutely delicious - and super fast! We also enjoyed Lulu's, Gulf Island Grill, and Surfside Pizza & Ice Cream. Be prepared for LONG waits at Lulu's or The Hangout.
Teen boys reported wishing we were closer to the shopping & dining. Wanting things to be a little more walkable. Adults didn't mind the distance.....and the peace it offered.
Saw others comment that they could feel the home swaying. It stormed a lot during our trip. We definitely felt that - but that isn't unique to this home - super common.
Great, family friendly place to make memories!! Thanks for a great stay!!
Suggestions for improvement if you wanted to: Upgrade the bath towels. Current, thin bath towels do not match the aesthetic of the home or the quality of the experience. Provide Beach Towels. Many travelers need to pack light and beach towels take up significant space. Add some extra blankets.

Great Spot
Beautiful view of the bay! I assumed public beach access was directly across the street but it turned out to be about a .3 mile walk to the nearest public beach access. This was absolutely manageable but something to know ahead of time. Other than that, this house was perfect!

Nice Condo in Gulf Shores
Ana’s condo was well-furnished and decorated. Close enough to downtown gulf shores to easily access the amenities but far enough to have a relaxing vacation. The property was in a pleasant neighborhood, and had a waterfront view from the porch. Would love to stay again!

My concerns were1). Cigarette odor is very strong. We brought the smell home with us in our clothes
2) the front door does not fit and makes a very loud noise when opening. I wanted to go out early for walks but knew the door would wake my wife
3). No cushions on the porch furniture making them unusable until the last day.
4) the furniture had stains in the material.
