Wonderful beach views; clean rooms; kitchen is fairly well equipped-not quite a gourmet kitchen, though; (however, kitchen could use a bit of organization so it would be easier to find things, plus we sure wished there was a pantry-or shelving in laundry room); lots of seating space in living room; love the game room downstairs; primary bedroom is spacious; upstairs kind beds were comfy; host was very responsive to questions; great place to spend a vacation with family and/or friends.

We spent our family vacation in Gulf Shores at this beautiful house. It was close enough to take walks to the downtown of Gulf Shores. Our family enjoyed all of the amenities the vacation home had to offer. The outside tv, pool table and vast selection of beach equipment was nice to have available for our family. Mark and Debbie were easy to reach and very helpful. I would definitely plan another family trip at this location.

Amazing property. It was like having our private beach. Beach views from the house are great. Shallow water quite a ways out was good for the younger kids. Lots of dolphin views from the house and a close dolphin encounter while in the water. The house was super clean including all decks. Very well stocked kitchen.Spacious common areas to accommodate our group of 11. Comfortable beds. Nice beach chairs and lots of beach accessories. Texted questions to Mark, the owner, several times and he was super responsive. Far enough from town to be quiet and close enough to access activities and restaurants. There is nothing negative to say and I highly recommend this property.
Make sure you get up for the sunrises.

Annual Family Beach Trip

Beautiful! This house is spacious and comfortable with spectacular ocean views. Our family of 7 adults had plenty of room and comfortable seating both inside and outside. With our family group expanding to 7 this year, we opted for a house for our May trip to the beach. Karson’s Kastle did not disappoint.
