There were plenty of beach chairs and a beach wagon to help carry all of our items each day.

The beach this time of year was sunny, the water was clear, and it was very neat to see the dolphins. The Hive was in perfect proximity to the beach, and it was very nice to have a bathroom next to the beach so we didn’t have to constantly walk back and forth. The beach wagon the Guenthers provided made it so easy to carry the chairs they also provided and our beach stuff. The beds were comfortable! My granddaughter loved the books they had available, and I enjoyed them myself. The booklet they had was nice to look through and gave great recommendations on places to eat, which was nice since we are new to the Gulf Shores area. Being a brand-new unit, I could tell everything was stocked well, very clean, and well thought out. We look forward to booking our next stay soon! ##### Diana L.

In 8 years, this was our first time not in a high rise condo directly on the beach. We weren’t sure if we would like it, but we loved it. Excellent access to the beach. It was so nice being able to park 3 cars under the condo and still have room for all our wagons and beach gear. We loved the outdoor shower and hose. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. We all wanted to know where the couches came from. The kitchen is fully stocked and the bedrooms are very spacious. Definitely a wonderful place to stay with multiple families. ##### Elizabeth F.

The cottage is in a perfect location and we jotted just across the street every night to see the beautiful sunsets! The beach chairs the owners provided were a highlight as well! We didn't have to worry about making extra space in the car for the drive down. Highly recommend renting this place because we could tell the owners took lots of time and care into making the cottage a home away from home. Thanks so much, we want to come back again! ##### Janet M. Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danny B.

Even though the weather was a little cold, the cards and poker set and other games were great to have something indoors to do. The beds were very comfortable, and I loved being able to sit on the deck and drink my coffee in the mornings. The proximity to the beach was perfect. We also loved the proximity to all the restaurants and activities we wanted to go to. We will definitely visit The Hive again soon! ##### Danny B.

Dec 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### AMAZING luxurious beach retreat Our family recently enjoyed an after-Thanksgiving gathering at The Hive in beautiful Gulf Shores, AL. There were eight (all adults) in our group, and the unit had plenty of room and privacy for everyone. We had an amazing and relaxed time! All four bedrooms (three upstairs, one downstairs) boasted tasteful decor, super comfortable beds/bedding, large flat-screened TVs, and closet and drawer storage. Each bedroom had an adjoining private bath with sparkling clean surfaces, upgraded fixtures, a hairdryer, and fluffy towels. We never felt crowded in the spacious, open-concept kitchen/living/dining area. Large, comfortable sofas and chairs accommodated everyone as we watched conference football games broadcast on the oversized flat-screen TV. Like in the bedrooms, the decor is lovely, with unique wall art, beachy knick-knacks, and books—it truly feels like a home away from home! The fully-equipped kitchen offered everything we needed—a roomy frig and a large dishwasher, ample stoneware and melamine dishes, lots of silverware and cooking utensils, and enough beverage and bar glasses for everyone. There was even a Ninja blender for my son's smoothies and a De’Longhi Espresso & Coffee Machine for the coffee fanatics in our group! Heading outside, there are three roomy decks, two with just seating and one with a dining table and seating. Each is positioned for privacy from other units on the property—perfect for early-morning coffee time! We've stayed in Gulf Shores several times, but this property was the most conveniently located. We accessed the beach on the boardwalk across the street from our property, and the fishing lagoon was only a short walk away. The condo has ready-to-carry beach chairs for guests, so you don't need to bring your own. We thoroughly enjoyed our evenings under the sunset skies in the hot tub and heated pool. During the day, we caught a few rays at the regular pool that has a refreshing sun ledge for comfortable cooling. All of the pools were just steps away from our unit. Super convenient!! Overall, we felt comfortable and welcomed in The Hive and enjoyed the luxurious upgrades. We plan to rebook next year during the summer season! I highly recommend this property. ##### Tami H.

We were escaping the cold of Nebraska and the trip did not disappoint. The white sand beach was gorgeous and a very short walk from the cottage. We had been in Galveston the week before and the Gulf Shores beach was so much better. My husband and I enjoy different pillows and The Hive had a variety of pillow and bed choices. We both slept well especially after a dip in the hot tub. The cottage had everything you could think you would need. The owners have done a great job making it a home away from home. We will definitely rent again and bring the family. ##### tracy m.
