Spacious and fully stocked with utensils and cookware. Great communication. Has an elevator which is great for loading/unloading. Plenty of pack n plays if needed and games, and movies. We enjoyed the large tv to watch olympics. Thanks!
Perfect floor plan. Perfect distance to beach. Loved everything about it. It is a little older than most I have stayed in but overall, I think I enjoyed this property more. There does need to be a little bit of deep cleaning done - nothing major - just a little “fresher”. The elevator was a life saver! I will be back! Hope it’s available!
This beach home is amazing. This was our second time staying here and we love this home so much. The location cannot be beat. The short path to having your toes in the sand is so relaxing. We love the privacy of the location and not having to trip over people to get to the beach. It’s a private area of homes so no excess people and traffic. We had a lovely time and look forward to booking this again in the future. Plus the ability to have a zero entry shower and an elevator for my wheelchair bound husband is so appreciated and amazing for this close to the beach. Like I said, this is our second time staying and I am sure it won’t be the last.

The home is very spacious and well stocked with linens. The kitchen had everything we needed household wise, but some items are aging due to use. While the doors are wide enough for a large electric wheelchair, the bathroom toliet in the handicapped bathroom isn't high enough, we carried our own riser in case we ran into that. In the shower for the handicap bathroom the hose was ziptied to keep it securely fastened. The house had a lot of sand, dust and insects in the floor, under all the cushions and under all furniture. Maybe it had been vacant a little while, not sure. The elevator worked well for our wheelchair needs, the host was kind enough to come help us when we weren't able to get it to work when we got there. Overall the lack or cleaning under beds, dead insects and cushions was a little extreme. Everything you need is there for quality family time. Just a needs a lot of TLC by the cleaning staff. WE appreciate the hosts assistance when we had an issue.

Check in was a fiasco, property wasn't very clean, and listing was misleading.
This property is well equipped and a perfect location close to the beach ! It’s what a typical beach area should look like , a charming South Alabama beach community.

The house is great. Located about 300 feet from the beach, plenty of room inside for multiple families, and fully useable kitchen. Parking space for anyone staying there. Our group was already thinking of when we would be back before we left. Our experience was probably atypical due to the property changing hands between the booking and stay, but we did not know we had to pick up information from an office before checking in and the house was not cleaned until after we all checked in. Again, hopefully out of the norm but that was our experience.
Third year here! It’s perfect for our family! The elevator makes it so easy to get things up to the main floor. Great location - easy beach access! We simply LOVE it!
Every summer our family of 13 likes to spend special time together and this house was perfect for us with the number of bedrooms and huge well equipped kitchen and access to the pool.
Much surprised at the open roominess of the kitchen/livingroom with full handicap access to all roomsClean and taken care of. Access to the beach is the best we have ever have hadWe will return next year I’m trying not to make sound as great as it is so it won’t become impossible to reserve HAHA

Wonderful place!
This house was awesome!! We had 15 in our party from 1 to 63. Elevator made it so easy for my parents and the house was just amazing. Plenty of room. Plenty to do , and great location!!
The house is very spacious & accommodated my huge family. The elevator came in handy taking our belongings in & out of the house. The only downside I would say about the house is maybe some updates in the bathrooms. Even though it was not right on the beach, it was very close & the boardwalk made up for that. Going to the Beach club in the evenings was a lot of fun & it was nice to have access to the pool even though it costed extra.
This property was exactly as described. It was such a perfect set up with bedrooms, bathrooms, 2 living spaces, kitchen and beach access. We had 12 of us parents, kids, and grandparents. We could not have found a more perfect home to accommodate all of us so perfecrly. The owner was so great in allowing us to come in a day early as our hotel got messed up and the property was available. He was wonderful to work with.
Very spacious. A lot of room for everyone. Really enjoyed the large dinner table.
The negative was: ice machine needs repairing. Drain is clogged and water backed up onto the floor;
and toilet seat in handicapped bathroom needs to be changed.
Although this house isn’t right on the beach it is a short walk on a private board walk to the beach. The house had plenty of room for 9 adults and 5 kids. It’s not a make or break deal but the house does not have any hand soap, dish soap, or extra trash bags. I kinda figured those basic items would be included. Overall not w bad place to stay at the beach.
Four tvs but only one was working disappointing teens and kids who want to play games. Hair in shower stall. Kitchen is well equipped for our large group and ice machine is great. Ceiling fan in bedroom makes a noise and needs repair. Plenty of sleeping and beds are adequate. Love the vibe and privacy of this stretch of beach. Need a new charcoal grill - this one is really rusty.

Needs work, update furniture, needs new paint around entry ways, have inspection of all devices before customer arrives. Had multiple issues with smoke detectors going off in the house. Had an electrical issue with hot water heater, No hot water on one side of the home. Rooms are spacious and the beach views are good. Overall experience was okay but home needs work. Had maintenance crew out twice.
