Overall nice we had an issue with the pool it couldn't be used until our last day there. They gave a small refund because of the pool.My thoughts are if you have vacation rentals you should do better.

Bonnie Dunes Rental

We stayed in both sides of this rental property. We were able to check in early which was a huge plus for us and our families. The fence around the pool was extremely wobbly and a lot of the beds were as well. The master bedroom toilet was constantly breaking/running but it was an easy fix on our part. Pool person had to come out and shock the pool during our stay, which left us not being able to use the pool for a few ours in the middle of the afternoon. Easy walk to the beach. Communication was amazing on part of the property, they were easy to get a hold of and responded promptly. For the price it is a great rental and was able to suit our needs as a large family of 20!

The house was nice, the pool was great. Parking was very good! Very clean, would definitely stay here again. Cleaning crew was still cleaning at 4 when we checked in. Kitchen was stocked but not with enough stuff, we didn’t get the WiFi fixed until the day before we left even though we tried to communicate with the owner Brian numerous times, water heater was fixed promptly. Furniture was not very comfortable, the front bedrooms need better window coverings it was so bright in the mornings. Overall was a good experience!

Nice spot on the 2nd row from the beach. Short walk to Liquor Store, Fish Market, and Restaurant. Wish there was closer access to the public beach entrance, but honestly it wasnt that bad. Just a short walk. For the price its a great house and location for Gulf Shores.

Family Togetherness

This was our first whole family vacation in awhile. We had a great time. The property manager keeps you in the know via email and text. Which I found to be helpful. The property was clean and accommodated our family well. The property is across the street from the beach and a short walk to the beach. This property has a private pool in the backyard. You have to walk to the backyard to access the pool. You cannot access the pool from the inside of the house. If you have a family member with gait issues, this property has a lot of stairs. Overall, this property was nice. I would stay there again.

Affordable Duplex Just Off the Beach

Overall, we enjoyed using this duplex for our multi-family reunion. The location is just right in being close to Gulf Shores Pkwy, but far enough from the big beach crowds. The gathering spaces were big enough for us (16 total) to eat and hangout, and we loved the deck and pool spaces. We did have an AC unit go out on one side two nights in a row which wasn’t great in the July heat, but the property management/owner fixed it as fast as they could and were very responsive. Also refunded partial to make up for it. The inside could use some attention with repainting and broken floor tiles. The bed types per room doesn’t fully match the description or pics, but we made it work. All in all, it was an affordable house just off the beach with great property owner/management service, and lots of space to host our big family.

We all really enjoyed our stay at this location. It was very clean and had everything we needed to have a great weekend. The walk to the beach was super short and made it easy to get back and forth throughout the weekend. The pool was perfect and a great spot to hangout and relax. Would absolutely stay again at this property!

Not bad for the price

Spring break family trip. The house was perfect for 2 family’s with lots of kids. Perfect location. I booked this house for 14 people. We had 12 towels total… the pictures of the house are misleading. Bedrooms are smaller and the back door doesn’t walk out to the pool.

Great place in need of a little work.

Several issues. It should not be called pet friendly, or even pets allowed. As soon as my dogs got out of the car there paws were covered in sand spurs. We had to dig them out with tweezers. Dogs didn’t want to go out again. Two toilets requires multiple flush’s and many clogs. Old in poor repair ( im a master plumber ) One toilet tank cracked down the middle. We didn’t use it for fear of it breaking. Tiles cracked throughout the house. My grandson (3) and I were sitting on the step at the top of the entry stairs. He touches the stairs rung and it fell off leaving a hole big enough for him to fall thru. Air conditioning on one side quit working on second day. We didn’t call for service as the temperature outside was dropping and didn’t want to deal with it. It is a nice property but maintenance has been neglected. Maintenance obviously done by handy Andy. Not going back, expect more for what we paid.
