The property is nice and clean but maybe a little far from the beach for me, requiring us to drive to the designated parking area due to all the beach parafernalia (Canopy, Chairs, Coolers, games etc.) I loved the check-in and check out changes from the last trip to the area.

Our Refuge was the perfect spot for our family of 6\. Everyone was so impressed from the first walk-through until our last day. The kitchen was fully stocked, the walk to the beach was 5 minutes, and there was a store even closer in case we needed to grab anything real quick. We had a great view of the Gulf from both balconies as well. :) We also used some of the beach supplies that were there at the house for people to use during their stay, which proved fun and helpful. The decor was perfect. This was our kids first time seeing the ocean, and the beachy decor was very fitting for their overall experience. The bunks and the stuffies that were there for kids were perfect. The pool was amazing- we used it every day. Very warm and always clean. We will be back! ##### Hillary K. ### 6/10 Okay #### Debbie H. 27 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Disappointed Nice place to stay however, lighting struck our place the first night there. Lots of damage done within the condo. We had workers in and out almost the whole week. We were not able to leave the condo. Loss of work time.

The property was nice and close to mustly everything. Could actually walk to beach, souvenir stores, and tons of good restraunts. Pool is literally just steps from the door. Loved it, would love to go back. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/312bb35d-e829-4859-a113-1144794b4015-1753573111657.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0cd8dd18-3163-4ae7-8f16-ffe23298b3c1-1753573111855.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer H.

This turned out to be a very comfortable stay. The furnishings etc are all up-to-date & clean. Lots of room for gathering as well as for privacy. Very nice homey touches also. Shirt walks to beach & dining. Would definitely stay here again.

The pictures didn't do it justice and the interior is brighter than shown. Coastal calm and whimsical decor added to our enjoyment. Well equipped kitchen with open floor plan. Short walk to the beach, but know that you can't drive and park to the closest beach access. A wagon to haul your beach stuff would be good to bring. Overall, a good location! This was our first trip to Gulf Shores, would like to go back! ##### Barry W.

Very comfortable stay. It had a couple of quirks, as expected. We couldn’t figure out a couple of light switches, the lock on the main bedroom balcony door was tough and the dryer will sing you a tune! It works well, just a little squeaky. This was our first time to Gulf Shores and we will definitely return. We feel lucky to have found this spotless and cozy house with thoughtful owners & manager. The beach access by Sea & Suds is an easy 5-8 min walk. Employees at the Island Market welcomed us to park in their lot when we first arrived and walk to the beach. Just don’t walk near the property at the corner of 3rd St & 2nd Av. Grumpy old man yelled at my husband and scared my kids for “trespassing” by cutting the corner and walking on his driveway. We stayed clear of him after that and had no other issues. Thank you for sharing this home with us! ##### Karen H.

Plenty of space for our four children. Great location, short trip to the beach and walking distance to many restaurants including The Hangout. We will be back!! ##### LeAnn M.
