Beautiful home, gorgeous views!
Love the layout of the home, the multiple large bedrooms and bathrooms on the gulf front side. Large kitchen. Beautiful natural light flowing through multiple windows. It just needs a little love and attention.

Great stay
Home was great. Had a whole section of beach to ourselves. It was a short stay so didnt utilize much of the home. Only downside was the trash can was full and hadnt been placed by the road when we got there. Probably due to service days vs previous checkout. I would suggest mayb a walking mat from the beachside stairs to atleast the foot of the dune.

Nice home but Floors not safe
The location was amazing. The home was very well laid out with plenty of space for our group. Our main concern (which we wish we would have know prior to renting, is that the floors in the home are not safe. They are very spongy to walk on and the floor will sink far enough when you walk on it that the laminate flooring will split in two. The home has had some kind of water damage that has not been addressed and was covered over with a laminate flooring. The house cleaning crew did an immaculate job, the house was spotless. Everything looked very nice.

Perfect Getaway
The house was clean and spacious with plenty of room for our family of 8. Easy to find, quiet location. Nicely decorated with beautiful views. Very peaceful. We were there in January and had great weather, but we were the only people on the beach. Really enjoyed our stay.

Dolphin views
We had a wonderful two weeks here. The location was exactly what we hoped for and spending time at the beach was glorious. We also had ample inside space for our four generations to be together and apart when needed. We appreciated having seating for everyone at mealtimes! Many games were played and everyone slept well also. We saw dolphins multiple times daily and that was an unexpected bonus!

Paradise and Bulldozers?
We loved the house and location; beautiful sunrises and sunsets always. Plenty of room for our guests! What we didn't expect though was the last week of 24/7 beach dredging and reshaping which closed the beach directly in front of us. Fortunately, it reopened on our last day so we could enjoy a final beach walk....my happy place. A few maintenance issues were addressed promptly by the very helpful staff. Would stay at Paradox again.

12 Dear Friends together
I was able to find this property for our six couple trip. All six couples told me that this was the perfect place for our get together. We were right on the beach. The back wall of windows allowed us to view the beach from the house. The place was clean and no “surprises” meant that our stay was fantastic. I would highly recommend this property.

Good house needs appliance upgrade
I like the house but the appliances need an upgrade. - dishwasher would run but didn’t clean dishes, especially the upper rack. We had to hand wash after. - ice maker in fridge didn’t work at all. The bar ice maker worked but couldn’t keep up with our needs. We froze water bottles to put in cooler for beach. - microwave started sparking and the light pulsed and strange noise. The lining is peeling away and it is rusted(corroded?). We put in service tickets but the guy that came out only cleared the plugged drain in the shower

Best Beach House
This was definitely the best beach house we have ever stayed in. So clean, very well decorated and a fully stocked kitchen. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and they were so spacious. The beds were so comfortable!! It is an easy walk to the water and the view was gorgeous. You did have to be on the second floor to see the shoreline because the sand dunes were very high but we didn’t mind. We felt as if we were on a private beach because the houses are spaced a good distance apart and we could completely spread out with our tent and volleyball net. We highly recommend staying at this beach house!! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great beach house
The good: The house is huge. We had plenty of room for our seven adults and six children. The back deck is also huge and has plenty of lounge chairs. Having three refrigerators was nice. There are a lot of beach toys and chairs in the house. The beach is great. No crowds. We basically had the beach to ourselves. Things that could have been better: We were told the house didn't have a baby bed but found one and a high chair after arrival. We could have saved some space in the car knowing that ahead of time. Also, it's a hike to get over the berm between the beach and the house. My old knees had some issues there. I know the berm serves a necessary purpose, but it does block a view of the beach from the main level of the house and deck. What caused the 4 star rating: The garbage bins were full when we arrived because they had not been placed at the road that morning. It was two days before the next garbage run and I was surprised they took all of it. Also, someone (could have been prior guests) had drug a leaking garbage bag down the front steps. There was a foul smell and sticky substance on the front steps that had not been cleaned prior to our arrival.

Had everything we needed but in need of some important repairs
This was our second year for a reunion with high school classmates in Gulf Shores. The home we rented had plenty of room and a great layout. The basic necessities were provided and all of the interior appliances were working fine. The interior furnishings were what would be expected for a nice beach rental. However, we did have to kill several roaches while there, which was a little less than desirable. Also, the bannister on the exterior patio on the very top floor of the home was minutes from falling off to the beach below- very dangerous with big potential liability. The screen was hanging from one part of the outdoor patio where it had been torn so the "screened in patio" was not really screened in. Overall, we had a great time and would not necessarily opt NOT to rent this place again because it met our basic needs. However, it is definitely in need of some TLC.

Spacious, Picturesque, A Few Minor Issues
The house was VERY well cleaned and the towels and bed linens appeared to be very well laundered. We experienced a few minor issues (a refrigerator set on the coldest setting wasn’t cool inside, trash cans were left completely full without instructions related to garbage services, and a bedroom tv was not working properly) but responses to our text inquiries were immediate and two of the three problems were resolved quickly. The views were absolutely beautiful even on overcast days and we were fortunate to experience multiple sightings of dolphins in the waves. The dedicated ice maker was a bonus that we took full advantage of. It would be helpful (especially for our older group members) to have a printed copy of the checkout instructions and property expectations. These printed instructions have been included with every other rental in the past (usually posted on the kitchen countertop or on the fridge) and we have come to rely on that. Some of our group noticed the picturesque spiral staircase appeared a bit unstable but they ascended one at a time and seemed mostly unphased by it. There are some minor deck maintenance items that will probably need to be addressed- lots of rusty broken nails and loose boards- but most of us didn’t notice and the railings all seemed secure. The most trouble we had was with the dishwasher. Pre-rinsed dishes came out looking unwashed multiple times. During the last couple of days it didn’t release the detergent pod properly and entire loads of dishes had to run a second and third time. Overall this was a fantastic vacation in an open, gorgeous house with a fully stocked kitchen in a great location. We look forward to booking another stay in the future!
