This place is light, bright, modern and comfortable. A few tweaks to some of the amenities would make it great. It was spacious, airy and a great size with lots of room. Washer/Dryer was great, walk-in closet in primary bedroom, ample parking. Not too far from the beach...just a few blocks over (no view, but easy to get to).
Floors needed to have been cleaned (not just vacuumed) before our arrival, and needs a full set of kitchen utensils (forks, spoons, knives) for any more than 4 people. Kitchen table is warped and uneven.
Like I said, with just a few adjustments, this house will be a fantastic rental for the price.

We stayed here for our 25th anniversary. The rooms were huge. It is near a dead end without any houses behind it so it was very quiet. Its less than a mile to the park playgound. We rode our bicycles in the park and to restaurants. Overall a great experience.

We enjoyed the house. The beds were great. The sprayer outside was wonderful for after the beach. We wished it would have included a couple kitchen towels and beach towels but otherwise it was perfect for us.

The code did not work at check-in and had to call management. Many outlets throughout the home did not work. Found out the fuse was tripped. Kept tripping entire stay. The master bed mattress was so loud with a vinyl cover every move would wake you up. Something black came out of the master faucet and when wiped underneath a large amount of black filth was removed. Will never stay at this place again. Will never stay in a place managed by this company...ever. Have responded to this management company in similar fashion without a returned call or email. They simply do not care if this is the product they allow rentable.

Home was beautiful! Location was perfect. Short walk to the beach. Only dislike was that maintenance just walked into home to supposedly change air filters, but he couldn’t even find them. He walked all over the house, into all rooms and restrooms. Very awkward, this should be done before guest arrived.

Location was good , lots of room but felt like it needs some attention- lots of little things- and no beach chairs or umbrellas provided- just a few blocks from the beach- easy walk-

When we arrived the cleaning lady was still there and let us in the house. We tried locking the door so we could leave and get groceries. We called the leasing office because it would not lock. The lady was no help after 20 minutes on the phone with her. Finally we googled how to lock it and left. When we came back with groceries, the door code would not work. I called the leasing office for the second time. She was not any help. She said she would send a tech. After 45 min with no tech, we called again and got a different person. She said there was nothing in the notes about a tech coming or that we had called. The called the two numbers left in the email and left messages. Finally we were given the 3rd property managers number who was able to reset the door lock. By this time over an hour had passed trying to get into the rental. The property manager was apologetic. I wish her number had been supplied in the email since the other two that were supplied never returned our call. Here are the things that need attention.
Shower door in master doesn’t close, trash under the beds, television in bunk room doesn’t work because it is missing a cord (so boys couldn’t watch tv in their room), the two trundle beds couldn’t be pulled out or utilized because the ladders are screwed into the front side of the bunks, there was info binder about where to get to beach or any info about house, toaster was broken, main bathroom shower takes about 20 minutes to drain, Kitchen needs to be restocked, sheets don’t fit the bed, and no mattress cover on beds
We picked this house because of the location and all the things it offered. The kids were disappointed that there were no bicycles, or a corn hole game, and only had one board game. We didn’t bring beach towels, beach chairs, or board games since the listing said it supplied them. The listing is inaccurate and needs to be updated. I don’t think we would have chosen this listing had it been updated.

Great spacious house to stay near the heart of Gulf Shores. Yet away enough from the noise of the business. Easy 2 block walk to the beach but also a free hidden parking area, about 6-8 spots, at the beach access point. Worked for this group of 3 adults and 7 kids. Would return to this place.

We enjoyed our stay but the house didn’t have any kitchen towels or wash cloths. The outlets in the hall bathroom didn’t work plus a few in the kitchen. The neighborhood is quiet and family friendly. The hangout is definitely the best place to eat and let the kids play with easy access to the beach.

It was a nice quiet place. Overall it was goo, but there were a few minor things that needed repairs

The pictures of the house are exactly as shown. Beds were nice and clean and super nice to have all the bunk beds for kids to sleep. Decor of the house was nice. Comfy. The coaches have seen their day and are pretty worn out but still comfortable. Access to the beach was easy. Not too much of a walk to get to the main drag for restaurants and such but was a lot easier to just drive. That being said - the amenities of the house were pretty sparse. I've never been to a VRBO that didn't at least have coffee filters or salt and pepper or any other spice left behind. We did leave those things and the giant ketchup we bought. Actually. We never did get the filters b/c the Dollar General down the block never did have any. The grill can't be called a grill. So that was too bad b/c we would have done more cooking at home. Don't plan on grilling. Places post covid were a mess. Lots of visitors and every place posting Help Wanted. We had to wait for at least an hour at every restaurant we went to. No matter the time of day. It notes on the description to "borrow the boogie board and the beach chairs". There were now boogie boards or beach chairs to borrow. We bought some boards and thankfully our friends drove as they took them with them. We flew - so there was no way we could have brought or taken them with us. It'd also be nice if they had a slug of beach towels there too. I had asked prior to coming. But it sure would have saved space in our suit cases had we not of had to packed. All in all - the house was just fine. We've checked Gulf Shores off our bucket list - but don't think we'd go back.

Clean, nice location to restaurants and the beach. The walk to the beach is about 4 blocks. The Gulf Shore Seafood is a great market to pick up fresh seafood, they will steam shrimp, crab legs, etc. We also went to Lulu's which was crowded but very fun. Utilize their call ahead seating to bypass the line. Call before 3:30 pm. Other restaurants; Lamberts Cafe and Cobalt in Orange Beach. There is a "camp ground" type grill on the property but we decided against using it. Didn't want to mess with charcoal. Beds were comfy, the master bed is definitely more on the soft side.

This home was beautifully decorated and comfortable. Plenty of room for our group of 12. Few improvements that could be made, shower door in master bath needs repaired, guest mattress is not comfortable at all, could use a few more cooking skillets and pots, and pieces of the leather couch were peeling off. Minor issues that would not keep us from returning.

Clean, lovely, bright stay
We LOVED our stay at cactus cove. The home is exactly as pictured and the neighborhood was quiet. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen as we cooked many meals at home. There were enough pots/pans/utensils to make it easy. The walk to the beach was very doable for our group of adults. The outdoor spaces are lovely, and the inside spacious and clean. Our only wish was for some sort of blackout shade behind the white linen curtains, as the windows let in the early light.
We enjoyed our stay and would come again!

Beach Trip
We combined several special occasions in this vacation. Mother’s Day, 20th Anniversary, daughter’s 17th birthday, high school graduation, and a shadowing experience for our son. It was perfect for our family of four and our daughter’s boyfriend’s family of 4. We had plenty of space for everyone. The house was nice and clean. We were 2 blocks from the beach with very easy access. We were also very close to restaurants, shopping and entertainment. We enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back.

Great weekend retreat!
The house was beyond gorgeous and the beds were soooo comfortable. The only issue we had was the water pressure in the master bedroom shower was very low. Other than that 10/10 recommend.
