Nice clean home. Canal provided some outdoor activities and kept the older kids busy. Kitchen had some useful items. The home is right in the middle of everything with excitement in walking distance. What little questions I had, the host answered promptly. Enjoyed our stay.
We had family and friends coming in for a special occassion and rented both sides of the duplex. It worked out well for the size of the group and proximity to the beach and stores, restaurants and attractions. The home itself is older and a little weathered with minimal amenities and supplies but it is more than adequate and we enjoyed the affordability relative to other properties near the beach with similar capacity. Kids fished in the canal, we grilled using the charcoal grills and had a good time.
Sure! Here's a polished five-star review you can use for your canal property stay in Gulf Shores, Alabama:--- Perfect Getaway on the Canal!We had an absolutely amazing stay at this canal property in Gulf Shores! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The home was spotless, well-equipped, and exactly as describedâif not better. The location on the canal was peaceful and beautiful, offering easy water access and a relaxing atmosphere.Communication with the host was excellentâquick, clear, and super helpful. Every detail was taken care of, which made our trip completely stress-free. You can tell they really care about their guests having a great experience.We couldnât have asked for a better place to stay. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking to vacation in Gulf Shores. Weâre already planning our next trip back!
Floors were filthy including food and wrappers under the bed, socks, bare feet, even towels were black after being on the floor for a short period of time. Living room furniture was sticky with food in between cushions. Only two rolls of toilet paper. Bent/broken doors, broken toilet seat, and broken chair on the front porch.Overall appearance of property was unkept.
The home was fairly clean, but really needed some maintenance. The main thing is absolutely no privacy in the living room at night. Thereâs a big sliding glass door with a 100% see through sheer covering it. It faces the street and anyone can see in. Overall it was just ok.
This home is in a good area. Easy walking distance to the main area. Easy check in. Manager was prompt when contacted. However, the property needs some love and maintenance. Things like ripped screens on the back deck, grungy corners. On the whole this property needs some upgrading.
Everything fell into place. Host was awesome! Very thankful she has a pet friendly place people can take fur babies with you. Beach right across the road. Everything within walking distance Will definitely rent again.
This was our 1st time staying in Gulf Shores. The listing was not as pictured on Vrbo. Check in was a breeze you get everything a couple of days in advance that was a plus. On arrival When you 1st walk in, there was a very strong musty smell. As to proceed to enter we noticed the flooring was warped and damage to the flooring, closet door was dented in, sliding glass door in bedroom would not lock, the screen on the back deck was hanging.I contacted the owner she was able get maintenance out the next day. I went and got cleaning supplies to do some lite cleaning to try and get the smell out. We had intentions to grill but that was a no. The grill was nasty and rusty. The bedding was nasty did not smell clean. I rewashed everything we would be using as well as washed everything before we left to insure the next guest had clean sheets and towels. I could go on and on with things. At the end of the day I was just grateful to be with my family. If I was the owner I would definitely look into hiring a new cleaning service and maintenance. The gentleman that came out to look did say he knew the screen had been damaged but he hadnât been there in a while.
Iâm not putting all the blame on the property owner. She hires ppl to do these things and if they donât bring it to her attention she cant do nothing about it.
The pillows need to be updated when stripping my daughterâs pillows it was nasty and orange.
This is second time here. I think we got lucky with our schedule that this house was available. The place is great. Clean, comfortable and close to so much. You can walk to the beach, shop and eat right from here. The house has plenty of room and is inanice, quiet location.
I was in Gulf Shores with some friends for the annual shrimp festival. The locations is perfect. The place was very clean. Kitchen had every utensil and cookware you could need. The washer and dryer were very handy. Furniture of good quality and sturdy. Beds comfortable. The screened in deck off the master bedroom was a great bonus and I enjoyed sitting out there with my morning coffee. The host was very responsive to any inquiries and problems. There was a problem with the bathtub drain and she had someone out there to fix it ASAP. I would definitely stay here again.
