The check-in process was easy--no need to drive somewhere else to get a key or passes. Lots of parking under the unit which we appreciated. The unit was clean and was roomy enough for our party. We only had 4 adults and 2 kids so there was more than enough room for us. The kitchen had pretty good dishes to choose from and everything was good except for the freezer on the refrigerator seemed to want to no open fully or get stuck. The bed, for a vacation rental, were pretty comfortable. They were soft but also firm. The towels were excellent; very soft!
The location was both good and bad. In terms of overall location to Gulf Shores (restaurants, shops, etc.) I would say it was great. However, proximity to the beach and the views of the beach left a lot to be desired. We read the listing details and other reviews and while not incredibly far from the beach, by the end of our trip I was over walking. We typically stay beachfront when we go to the beach and that convenience was sorely missed. The wagon and beach items at the unit had seen a lot of usage. In fact, the wagon was pretty much rusted stiff and broken.
Overall we enjoyed our stay here. If not for the distance to the beach we'd definitely stay again.
