House was nice. Kitchen equipped. Beds comfortable. Could have used a little more water pressure in shower but no big deal. Only negative was large groups of people coming from across the street walking directly in the back yard of house and parking their entire families directly in front of the chairs we had rented. The whole beach was open and they literally sat directly in front of us. They rented bay side houses but wanted beach front access I suppose.

Nice Family Vacation
Our family had a nice time at Gulf Shores. It’s easy to enjoy being right on the beach. The house we stayed at had a great layout with all rooms facing the ocean as well as two master bedrooms - a big plus. There was also plenty of beach chairs available so we did not have to rent them and the deck had some newer furniture that was not shown in the booking photos.That said our review rating is a little lower because we did notice some maintenance opportunities that would make this an even better experience. Top Few:1. The dining and family rooms have furniture with upholstery that is worn or losing support. 2. Rusty furniture on the deck could be removed, since there is newer furniture already available.3. Prune items from the kitchen/beach closet to include choiceful items that are in great condition. The beach closet was so full we could not access much of what was in there and some items were rusty/broken. Suggest addition of drinking glasses, though there are many mugs available.4. The water hose to wash off sand was leaking and the system was duct taped to a pole. 5. One of the windows looking out at the ocean was dirty or damaged - which was noticeable anytime you look at the ocean.6. The owner has a video camera on the deck - a pro or con for some.

The location of the property is excellent, it was a very easy process to acquire the property. The owner is very accommodating. The only complaints I have is the condition of The home it self. at one time it was A beautiful property, but currently it does need quite a few repairs, and is set for 12 people which one advertises, but we all had to buy additional paper products for the bathrooms. And last night enough, sheets, and pillows for this many people. The pictures that are listed when advertise what appeared to be pictures when the home was new, not in its current state. And also advertises there is or shows in the pictures there is an empty lot beside it. There is not. But our family had a great time.
