We Won’t be a return customer because the Dunes are too high, Internet spotty at best, air conditioning not up to par in upstairs bedrooms - the downstairs areas and bedrooms were very clean and comfortable- kitchen was clean and had most everything you would need - we had a great time and spent a lot of time on the beach but high dunes and no board walk - we knew there would be no board walk, but the photos are mis leading when it comes to the hight of the dunes - which are not easy to climb for older folks -the beach can’t be seen from the living areas except on the top floor-Overall it was a good experience- just a few minor things that were disappointing-

House was nice. Kitchen equipped. Beds comfortable. Could have used a little more water pressure in shower but no big deal. Only negative was large groups of people coming from across the street walking directly in the back yard of house and parking their entire families directly in front of the chairs we had rented. The whole beach was open and they literally sat directly in front of us. They rented bay side houses but wanted beach front access I suppose.

Great peaceful location

The house was perfect for our family. Our son and his family had the upstairs and we were downstairs. It was a perfect location to be near our other family. I never get tired of the view of the water so peaceful. We love the beach and can’t wait to come back again.

Wow, what a trip!

This beachfront home was a vacation to remember! Beaches were quiet and empty. Lisa Ray was responsive and great to deal with. She went the extra step with the little touches she adds to make your trip memorable. This is a trip my girls will be talking about for years to come. Plenty of space! Hoping to get the opportunity again sooner than later. Thank you Lisa Ray!

Very beautiful house with views of the ocean in every room. The house had everything you need for a week or longer. Even though you had houses right next to you, the beach was very private. Lisa stayed in touch the entire stay. We would love to stay again.

Fantastic time!

Everything was as advertised! We contacted the host a couple times and she was very quick to respond and solve our issue. Very private on the beach, we saw dolphins jumping, stingrays, lots of crabs and seashells. The grandkids loved it all.

Nice Family Vacation

Our family had a nice time at Gulf Shores. It’s easy to enjoy being right on the beach. The house we stayed at had a great layout with all rooms facing the ocean as well as two master bedrooms - a big plus. There was also plenty of beach chairs available so we did not have to rent them and the deck had some newer furniture that was not shown in the booking photos.That said our review rating is a little lower because we did notice some maintenance opportunities that would make this an even better experience. Top Few:1. The dining and family rooms have furniture with upholstery that is worn or losing support. 2. Rusty furniture on the deck could be removed, since there is newer furniture already available.3. Prune items from the kitchen/beach closet to include choiceful items that are in great condition. The beach closet was so full we could not access much of what was in there and some items were rusty/broken. Suggest addition of drinking glasses, though there are many mugs available.4. The water hose to wash off sand was leaking and the system was duct taped to a pole. 5. One of the windows looking out at the ocean was dirty or damaged - which was noticeable anytime you look at the ocean.6. The owner has a video camera on the deck - a pro or con for some.
