Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The location was great. Nice beach access. The unit was cozy, which is fine. It had ample parking, and a nice front porch. Our concerns were: 1. The bed linens were old, the pillows smelled, and there were not any extra blankets, only one lightweight bedspread. 2. The bathroom floor was not clean, the shower curtain liner had mold along the bottom, the towels were stored in a wood cabinet, that left a smell to the towels, and there were random holes, and screws in the walls. Very poor finish work. 3. The TV had many channels that you had to pay for, we tried daily just to find network channel, never did. 4. No hairdryer as advertised. The air conditioning, and ceiling fans worked well. The common area was pleasant.

Cute and private
This was our 2nd time staying so obviously we enjoy it. It is quaint but clean. It takes a minute for the shower to warm up, the toilet may need flushed twice on occasion, and bedroom tv appears to be on the blink, but overall a fine place! It's great to be able to sit on the patio and watch traffic at night.

Great location close to the beach
Like a lot of the other guests have stated, property is small but gets the job done. The bathroom/shower is a bit tight. But it provides a great location of the beach and all the amenities are really close. I like having my own parking spot available. I also enjoyed the market right down from it to pick up beach/booze/food/souvenir needs you may have. I wouldn't recommend this place for a large group but works for the needs we had.

Memorable Fishing Trip
This is a very unusual rental in the beach area. It is totally in the middle of Gulf Shores. Walk to the State pier also to West Beach is convenient. I'm 76, but its easy to get to many places in the area. Its a place I will stay again. I highly recommend for two to four people. A fine place to stay with total kitchen and all comforts in a compact place. Tom Chambless
