The location, the close proximity to the beach, the beachy decor, the wonderful swing and beautifully decorated balcony with lots of other comfortable seating options, the extra comfy beds, even the bathrooms were gorgeous, and I could go on and on. Aside from all of that, our host Rich, was so personable and attentive. This place is nothing short of fabulous, a real gem! This was our first time visiting Gulf Shores (we usually stay in Pensacola). We will definitely be back and will undoubtedly stay at this property when we return. ##### Amanda S.
