Great house! We loved to have a full bathroom in every room; great space for a family and wonderful host. Jonathan checked on us since the check in time; and he was very responsive and friendly. Looking forward to come back soon!

The house was perfect size. Originally we had ten people but ended up only having 8, so we actually had a couple beds we didn’t use. The place was clean and came with everything that we needed and the best part was how close the walk to the beach was. The host was super responsive and helpful when we needed something or had questions.

Excellent Stay, everything was well maintained.

We had 12 people that included 8 kids, the house was perfect for us, the kids all had their own beds. The house was well maintained and they were very responsive when we had any questions. Excellent access to the beach. Would definitely recommend.

Gulf Retreat

The property was great! We had enough bedrooms and bathrooms to keep everyone happy with their own space. Kitchen was stocked with utensils and appliances. We shared a pool with several other families and the beach was an easy walk. Costal South was great to work with and addressed our issues quickly. The home was within walking distance to many stores and restaurants. We all had a great week and would recommend this property to anyone heading to Gulf Shores!
