Recent Gulf Shores guest reviews

The house and location was good for the golf course..
Sharon C. | Jan 2025
This house has tons of space! The views from the upper and lower deck are amazing. The upstairs is just the master suite and HUGE! Big walk-in closet amazing double shower. Downstairs plenty of seating in living and dining areas. The bunk bed room has 4 bunks! And two loft spaces perfect for kids to hang out. Two of the lower bedrooms have their own doors to the lower deck, really nice feature. There is not a TV in every room, which doesn’t bother us, but might some. The biggest thing to point out is there is a light switch at the bottom part of the stairs to the front door. This is helpful to know if you arrive at night like we did. We found the switch the day we left, haha. Also plenty of pots pans dishes etc in the kitchen , normal coffee no kuerig. Location is amazing! We would stay here again!

We enjoyed our trip to the beach. In spite of cold weather, we had a wonderful time connecting with friends old and new. I would recommend this location for family reunions or smaller church retreats.
