We got there after 6:00 so we had to go to a resort office in Gulf Shores to get the keys. There was a sign on the door, saying, âbe right backâ. That turned out to be an hour wait with my wife and kids in the car after driving for over 12 hours and not eating. It was a very frustrating way to start the trip. Other than that, the house was great. We had to run out to get things like toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags, which typically donât have to do. The house was nice and the beach was great.
