This was a family event and everyone enjoyed the stay. All aspects of the Beach house was easy from initial entry to closing out. The bedrooms, kitchen and common areas were well done and very nice. We had Thanksgiving there and were pleasantly surprised the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare and cook our specialties. Being located on the beach was nice and it was a short walk to the water. Thank goodness for the lift as it is definitely needed. We enjoyed the stay and would recommend the House on the Beach.
This was truly the best place we have ever stayed !!! The walk to the beach was very short and perfect, plenty of space for everyone, kitchen was really stocked with any gadget, dish, or pot/pans you need, and lots of extras like books to read, games, extra pillows in bedrooms, an electric blanket, beach chairs and toys, and lots of baby items like a high chair and pack n play. So much thought of the owners for the things guest might need ! And… the elevator was a game changer for sending up luggage and groceries!!! We will definitely book again !!! Thank you for an amazing week !!!
Perfect size and quality for four families to relax a few days on the beach together. Perfect location away from large hotels and yet still close to restaurants in Gulf Shores.
The place was so perfect and such a good location. 8 minutes from the hangout and 25 minutes from flora-bama. The house was very clean and the kitchen has everything you need! Definitely will be booking again in the future.
This house is an absolutely beautiful home right on the beach! It was perfect for our family vacation. Multiple families fit nicely with plenty of space, kitchen is well stocked, and plenty of parking. The beach chairs and toys were a great plus! I would highly recommend this home and we will be back again!
We had our 2 children, their spouses and 6 grandchildren with us. The house was wonderful and the location to the beach exceeded expectations. We hope to visit again😊.
We were able to spend a relaxing month with our mom. We enjoyed walking the beach, searching for shells, observing colorful sunrises and sunsets, and sampling many delicious restaurants. It was so wonderful to be in Gulf Shores, avoiding cold wintry blasts at home!
This home exceeds all the comfort of home! From the well-stocked kitchen to comfortable beds and an amazing beach, we never wanted to leave. We enjoyed all the sea shells and dolphin watching. The owner sent helpful information and was quick to reply to any questions. This rental will be impossible to beat! We hope we have the opportunity to return!
Wonderful house, responsive manager who even had a new bed delivered the very next day after we contacted her. Elevator was great for elderly parents and moving in and out.
Highly Recommend! Beautiful location. Loved sitting on the deck every morning enjoying the ocean and dolphins. Has several chairs you could take to beach. Beach was clean and very close to property.
The home was clean. Has enough room for everyone. Included anything you would need in the kitchen. Including a grill outside.
We had 13 adults, 1 baby and 2 dogs and the accommodations could not of been better. Finding a house with so many kings size beds and bathrooms was not an easy task.
The kitchen was especially well equipped and the grills were a bonus.
The beach itself was beautiful and not too crowded. Stephanie, the host was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. She was kind enough to get a high chair and port a crib when we inquired if there was one on the property.
My 85 and 84 year old parents appreciated the elevator ( as did my sister in law with her abundance of heavy luggage )
Would definitely rent here again!
The property is very clean and the pictures accurately represent the condition of the home. We had two elderly parents with mobility issues, so the elevator was a blessing. The kitchen utensils are the best we have seen at any rental. My only caveat is that there was a significant amount of heavy equipment (bulldozers, etc..) on the beach related to the dredging of Little Lagoon Inlet and a beach restoration project. I believe these are extremely rare, but I would suggest any potential renter to check with local authorities for any planned activity prior to booking as it did limit our access to the beach for several days. Otherwise, I would totally book the property on my next visit to Gulf Shores.
The elevator was a huge help. The location and access to beach great. House and number of bedrooms perfect. Kitchen is great. Still, Carpet on second floor is OLD and dated. Back porch is carpeted and old and fraying. Proch stairs need a coat of paint. Back porch under house could be great entertaining but old, dirty. Cracked toys, old toys, old beach chairs. Needs some sprucing. Bedrooms nice size. Beds comfortable. Need need bedspreads. Overall, great place. Just needs some sprucing up. Pictures on line do not look as dated as the place is.
We were looking for a place for a family get together. We have 3 adult children, spouses and grandkids. This was the perfect beach house for us. Plenty of bedrooms so each couple got their own. A room for the 2 to 6 year olds and plenty of space for the pack-n-play for the baby. The only thing that was not perfect was the ability to close off the stairs for the crawler. The stairways were too wide for child gates. Also, the steep stairs from the main level to the beach on the deck were not gated, so time on the deck with all the little ones was limited as the huge opening was a major fall hazard for the small children. It was advertised as a private beach, but since there was no signage on the street side to notify others, we would have vacationers from across the street walking between houses and setting up on the beach in what we thought was our private space. We learned we had to get up and go out early to stake out our territory. LOL
Our stay here was phenomanal ! We had plenty of room for everyone. The view was spectacular and beach acess was great. We called Ikes chair rental & they provided beach chairs & umbrellas the whole time we were there. We would stay here again ! Stephanie was a great communicator! Things we did buy that we didnt have there were beach towels which we didnt mind doing.
