The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The management company was also very easy to work with and responsive. There is not a lot of lighting in the kitchen area- a brighter light would really help. Also, if you plan on cooking- bring a few of your own pots/pans as the selection at the house is very limited. We would stay here again. Thank You! ##### Jennifer D.

We had to leave 3 days early due to my dads death. Packed up quickly and left. Couple of suggestions we bought a coffee pot and left it there for next renters. Maybe have maids check that there is one there. There was not much light in kitchen if you tried to cook after dark. I believe downstairs toilet was not working. ##### Deborah R.

Air blew cold the entire week. Beds were comfy. Location was peaceful with easy access to the beach (about a block's walk). Kitchen had basic essentials with a working electric oven, dishwasher, cold fridge. Shower has good water pressure. Washer/dryer worked nicely with a convenient downstairs bathroom with utility sink. Outdoor water hose as well. Easy access to the Sassy Bass store and restaurant (just across the back yard). We would definitely stay here again. I might suggest an in-sink disposal and an upstairs deck awning/roof, but those would be our only thoughts. ##### Karry F. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Orlo Z.

Location was good, close to the beach, although the weather wasn’t that good for us to get some sun. Much cooler and windier than last year. The home could use some maintenance, screens ripped, paint chipping off cabinet one of the sliding doors hard to lock. Tv needs to have instructions on which controls to use. There were 3 and only needed 2. Blinds were broken. With this being said we enjoyed our stay, not sure if we are coming back to gulf shore, maybe try someplace new. Thank you. ##### Orlo Z.
