Nice place to stay if you're a early riser while there's construction.
The house was nice. It was small good for two three people. Our driveway and the road was under construction which was not revealed to us until we got there and saw it. It was noisy from 7:00 in the morning till 5:00. We couldn't sit on our front porch because it was so noisy and Dusty from the construction. Our last two days we couldn't park in the driveway because they were working on our driveway.

Don’t do it.
Felt like I was visiting my younger brother at college. One roll of toilet paper for a four night stay. Zero amenities. House was in a construction zone with a massive irrigation pipe blocking the driveway. Random guy stopped by to change the furnace filter on day two. Blender was broken. Ghetto.

My girlfriend and I stayed for 3 night’s and the walk to and from the beach is a breeze! Checking in was so fast and easy! For a single couple it was more than enough room for the both of us! You want breakfast? Waffle House is just across the street lol. We definitely enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this property to anyone, we will be back!

Location is worth it!
I only stayed for a couple of nights. First, I want to say that the location is incredible. You are able to walk anywhere you want to. Parking is nice and easy. Easy access to the beach. The home is a great size and I enjoyed our stay. That being said, there were some things that surprised me based on the amount we paid per night. We were surprised to see a large water pipe blocking the driveway as we arrived. We know this is out of the hosts control but would’ve liked to have been notified of it because we were unsure if we could drive over it. Inside, there are roach traps throughout the house. I understand roaches are a common thing, but the traps startled me. The state of the shower could use some updating. The shower hooks were rusted and the shower curtain was slightly dirty. When showering, the water doesn’t drain properly and becomes a hazard with the standing water. My husband unfortunately slipped and cut his finger pretty badly. Curtains on the windows in the bedrooms would be appreciated to keep out sunlight in the early mornings. Beds are ok. Amenities were great. TVs worked well, AC was great too. Overall it was worth it for the location but could use some updates.

A great little house!
Overall, we were happy here and the owner's communication was wonderful. We had 2 adults and a 4-year-old child: the house was the perfect size for us. (It may not work as well for more people or multiple older kids) An easy walk to the beach. We loved sitting outside on the covered porch at the picnic table. We wish we could have made use of the outdoor shower but the area around it was flooded and there was no path to get there. (There was a lot of road construction too, so it was a bit messy and dusty outside--not at all in the control of the homeowners) I greatly appreciated that the owner reminded us that they only provide some starter things (a trash bag, a roll of toilet paper, some soap, a roll of paper towels)--so that we came prepared.

Amazing Beach Stay
This was a nice getaway trip in celebration of my daughter’s second birthday! Everything in the home was just as the pictures showed online. It was clean, in a quiet & safe location, and very convenient to the pool and other close by shops. Communication was very quick and precise with the property owner. I would like to stay here again and highly recommend!

No communication, TV would not stream, Hot at night and cold during the day no matter what the air was on, construction all around that we weren’t informed about. It was clean enough but not excessive. Just okay stay!

Gulf Shores Vacay
The property was clean and very close to everything, beach, food, and activities. The host is very prompt should an issue arise-we noticed the dishwasher had a minor problem and messaged her and she had it fixed same day. I would recommend bringing some extra laundry supplies depending on length of stay, you get a starter pack but with a family of little ones we did laundry a bit more frequently

Overpriced for Experience
The cottage was in a decent location regarding proximity to the beach and main road to get in and out of Gulf Shores. The owner was very responsive to our request for having the bathroom sink unclogged and our request for dish soap to clean dishes that had stuck-on food/drink particles. Someone came the same day to fix the clog and deliver dish soap for scrubbing. There was a dirty sponge on the sink that I opted not to use. Sponges are inexpensive and each guest should have a brand new one to use for helping do their part to keep dishes clean. Putting my hands on and cleaning with a dirty sponge is undesirable. I felt like I needed to handwash every dish/utensil I used. This was disappointing. The flooring and bathroom appeared clean, which was a plus. I feel like this unit, based on the cleanliness and attention to detail, should have been priced significantly lower. Again, the owner responded to our requests and check-in was very easy. However, I would not stay at this cottage again.

Peaceful Cottage
Location was great, cottage was clean and comfortable. The only negative is that there were absolutely no extras. No dishrag to wash dishes (dishwasher pods, yes), no spices, cleaning supplies, or the other "extras" that we have found to be normal in all the other VRBO homes we've stayed in. Also, missed having a guest book to sign in and read what others have said. Overall, the stay was great and I would recommend to others.
