Kitchen and view

Nice house. Not congested area. Plenty of parking. Large bedrooms . Just fyi blender has no washer and leaks everywhere when using

Beautiful view w/ private beach access. Excellent for families who want to enjoy vacation in privacy. Kids loved the 2 private pools and gated community.

The house needed some maintenance and the downstairs dryer & large ice maker were not operational. The listing shows two queens on main floor but it was a king. Could not find extra linens and didn't find the blankets until midway thru our stay. The private beach access was awesome, and the area is very nice. Overall we had a nice family reunion and vacation.

Overall we had a great experience staying in this home. We had some issues with bugs that was taken care of promptly when addressed with the property manager. Most of the doors and windows don’t seal all the way so I think that’s why there is an issue. The rooms were incredibly nice and we enjoyed amenities with very few other people. The beach is very close to the house and we enjoyed sitting on the deck at all hours of the day and watching marine life such as dolphins, seat turtles, and a shark! It was a very enjoyable vacation overall!

Having the beach as a back yard.

Pros: Location was wonderful Proximity to beach was wonderful Easy, very close walk to the beach Beach was not crowded at all Plenty of room for our family of 14 Downstairs ice maker was great There were two washer/dryers! Beds were comfortable Plenty of utensils, cookware, service ware in the kitchen Dishwasher was very quiet Cons: The sheets/bedspreads/blankets were thin, cheaply made, and wouldn't stay tucked into the bed The stand alone ice maker in the main kitchen did not work The ice maker in the freezer in the main kitchen did not work The freezer in the main refrigerator door would not open without pulling the whole refrigerator across the room The room that was advertised as two twin beds actually had one king bed in it. It was not what we needed for our grandchildren. We needed the two twin beds. The railing on the upstairs balcony was attached to the shutter with a zip tie and there was police tape around the rail. DANGEROUS SITUATION Every bathroom had a significant amount of mold None of the bedroom or bathrooms had working locks The outdoor floodlights on the front of the house could not be shut off--it flooded into all the front bedroom like daylight. The swimming pool rails on the steps were not attached--DANGEROUS SITUATION The sliding glass doors were "locked" with a piece of wood in the track. There were no batteries in any of the remote controls for the televisions. The DVD players required cords that were not there--my son in law just happens to be well prepared and had cords in his car. So without him, there would have been no working DVD players. The Streaming systems on the tv were out of date and unusable. The house needed throw rugs to help keep down the amount of sand on the floors. If all these items were repaired/addressed, we would definitely stay here again. However, in the state the house is in at this time, I would say pass on it and would not recommend it. We did not report any of these things at the time we were there because we had had a house full of people and were on vacation. Most of these things need more than just a cursory visit to the property.

The neighborhood and beach were lovely for our week vacation. We are a 20 person family that have been coming to gulf shores/orange beach and surrounding area for 30 years. The house had plenty of space and was comfortable but needs some tlc. The ice maker went out the first day we were there, maintenance was scheduled for Wednesday, 4 days into our trip, only to say that it needed a new part and could not be fixed during our stay. We emailed asking for ice or a solution and there was no reply. The Sunday after we had already left, we received a phone call asking if maintenance had come and we had the conversation that yes there was no part and the response was “oh sorry they should have told us so we could get a new ice maker installed.” But that did not happen. Another set back of the house was bugs. We had roaches in the kitchen and in a bedroom. We are from Louisiana, so we have our fair share of bugs. But routine pest control is the answer. We had to spray Raid in the kitchen nightly, to find dead roaches the next morning. They mentioned on the Sunday phone call that they would schedule a maintenance visit for that as well. Overall the house needed minor maintenance and cleaning. Caulking in the bathrooms was peeling, chipped paint, dated tired furniture. The living room couch has seen better days, and obviously just from weekly vacation use. The kitchen was well equipped and had plenty of cutlery, plates and cooking utensils. They had a very nice shared grilling area and seating. Overall it was a fine stay. We stayed on the beach as much as possible.
