This was our first trip to the Gulf Shores area. We stayed for 5 days and had 8 guests (6 kids and 2 adults). This house was perfect. It is a short walk to the beach and the house is very clean and had plenty of space. The neighborhood is very quiet and nice, and the area around the neighborhood is mostly undeveloped, so it is a pretty relaxing area. The house is next to a public parking lot for beach access, so it does get a little busy during the day, but not too bad. It's about a 10-15 minute drive to the restaurants and stores. Be sure to bring your own toilet paper, trash bags and soaps because they only give one roll of toilet paper per bathroom regardless of your group size or length of stay, one trash bag per trashcan, and no shampoo/conditioner/body wash. The management company was quick to respond with any questions. Overall, a great stay.
