Excellent Choice

What an ideal location…… 5 minute walk to beach so no need to find parking. Perfect for families with teens. They have their own area on lower level…… We especially enjoyed pool, early June and warm water. Highly recommended

Quiet pet friendly getaway

We were very happy with the location of the property. It was a quiet area, but close to the beach and places to eat and shop. The house was great, with the exception being the operation of the tv in the living room. There were 4 remotes and still not quite sure which one you were supposed to use.

Simple comfortable and convenient

The house is cute and bedrooms were clean. Plenty of room to spread out. Kitchen was great. The yard was a nice feature for us, since we were traveling with dogs. Pool was nice. And the location was quiet and close to the beach. Main complaints were dirty floors, stains on the couch and poor TV reception for the direct TV. Overall a pleasant stay.

Would definitely go back

The property was great for the price. Overall the stay was great, it’s a super quick walk to the beach, the pool was clean and great. The house was nicely renovated upstairs and the downstairs was perfect for people okay with being a little tight. Would definitely stay here again. There were some issues like the downstairs closet being completely full so it was unusable and there being a few lights out in the home and downstairs but those were very minor things.

Updates

I really like the house. It’s our 2nd time staying there. However, it could use some TLC outside. Please invest in new outside pool chairs. They are old and busted and only 3 chairs. No internet all week but we made that work.

Beach family vacation

Property was clean. Had an issue on check in with the toilet when we first arrived. The property manager sent a repair man to the house and he was able to get it working. The only negative we had was that the stairs and downstairs area was not well lit at night. Overall we had a very nice stay.

Great location! Close to everything.

The location is perfect and close to everything. The communication with the property managers was excellent. Any question we had was addressed promptly. The listing is a bit misleading with the lower bedroom, but we did not need the space so it was fine. There are a few things that would really make this rental, an excellent stay. An upgrade to the mattresses would be great. And the chairs by the pool are cheap and cracked, so the some lounge chairs would be great to make a for a better experience at the pool. The house is decorated cute. And there is plenty of space for two people. It being dog friendly was the reason we booked this.

A few things but we had a blast!

We had the best time on our trip. We reported that the pool lights weren't working, they weren't able to get them fully working before we left ( but they did try and we were informed of a leak in the pool by the pool guy). The front porch had a dip/lean in it and under the seating area on the front porch there is nothing stopping a crawling child Or dog from falling off of the porch. The back porch has lose look on the stairs (my 2 year old grabbed onto it going downstairs and he almost fell threw the handrail part. The front door has an automatic lock which we loved but there was no deadbolt which we didn't like. There was no way to really lock the doors at night. We have a 2 year old who was very easily able to open the door and walk out. The beach was a short walk. We originally rented a golf cart and come to find out golf carts ARE NOT allowed on the roads there. Shops are really close and convent. Neighbors were super nice. PLENTY of towels were provided, water/dryer worked perfectly. Smart TV is in living room but not bedrooms which have directv (or dish). Not very many pans/pots. There was no broom (we looked everywhere) but were able to locate a vacuum that kind of picked up stuff off of floors. We made everything work and had a great time though! Easy company to contact and work with.

While we had an enjoyable time in Gulf shores, the unit had some issues. We missed the fact that the bunk beds (for the kids) was accessed only from the outside. We had no internet the entire week, which was problematic.

The WiFi did not work our entire stay. Beachball Properties said that their provider has spotty service in high season and read my contract, amenities are not guaranteed. I had planned to work while I was there which was not possible without internet. The company said they would send someone to look at it but no one ever showed up. In addition, the deck is falling apart. Instead of replacing it, they replaced random areas. There were slats missing on the back staircase and nails protruding from multiple treads. Not safe for kids.

Need a lot of work

Was pretty disappointed in this place. Who has a pool with no seating or lounge chairs? The pool is disgusting. Stuff floating everywhere, a file on top of the water and slimy sides with lots of gunk piled up in the bottom. Pool guy came and did nothing. We booked specifically for the pool and was too gross to even swim. The beds are very cheap as is the bedding. Better quality bedding in motels in my opinion. I would highly recommend as a vacation property owner myself that these things be addressed. I see in the previous reviews that these things have been mentioned and clearly ignored. A little attention would go a long way and make for a much more pleasant stay. Got very little sleep between the uncomfortable and loud bedding and lack of curtains. (Super bright in all rooms as soon as the sun comes up.
