Simply the best

The house was so clean & smelled nice. We’ve never stayed at a house so well supplied in the kitchen. There were even beach toys, chairs, etc. All of the ladies agreed, it was the best house we’ve stayed at in the past 10 years.

Perfect Location

We thought the location & layout of the house were awesome! Steps to the beach & not crowded being far enough in between public access points. Walmart deliveries groceries so that was huge plus as well, we didn’t have to fight the traffic.

Awesome Beach Experience

We had a great time! The property was perfect for our family! Everyone had a bed which was good because we were exhausted after being at the beach all day! Being able to watch the ocean from the property to relax a little was heaven! The property was clean and well stocked! Thank you so much!!

Sibling vacation

Very nice house with everything you need . Beautiful views of the ocean and beach was not crowded at all. A wooden walkway to to the beach would be nice it was a little bit of a work out carrying your chairs and umbrella through the thick sand. Not as young as we used to be 😊

Loved all of the space with 6 bedrooms. 2 washer/dryer sets & 2 frigs. Very nicely decorated and new condition. We sat a lot on the balcony outside the master for the view. September is a great time to be there with mostly adults out on the beach.

Annual Girls Trip

We have been doing out annual trip for 15 years now and we all agree this was the best house we have stayed in. We had 13 ladies and we are very comfortable. Plenty of bedrooms and places to sleep without bunk beds! The 2 refrigerators was so nice to have on top of an ice maker. I think this is the first year we have not had to make multiple ice runs! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Unwanted visitor

The house has a huge RAT, that was seen multiple times by family members . On our first night he (the rat) enjoyed a loaf of bread, cookies and a few day snacks . He needs to be attending to, trapped or shot but removed from the premises.

Amazing House! Perfect for larger groups

We had a fabulous family vacation at Southern Grace. The house was large enough to give everyone a bit of privacy when they needed it. The double refrigerators were amazing! We usually end up keeping drinks in a cooler and running out for ice, but not this time, we had plenty of room. Bonus for the separate ice maker and washer and dryers on each floor. Mice were not an issue for us as some other reviews stated. I reached out to the property management company prior to coming and was told the issue was resolved and it was. Everyone in the group said their beds were comfortable. Could use a curtain or blinds on the door going out to the upstairs porch, not everyone wants to be up at first light on vacation. The kitchen dishes and supplies were perfect for cooking and eating in. We really enjoyed our visit, except for the biting flies, this was our first bad experience with flies and we vacation somewhere along the gulf every fall school break. Highly recommend you check this house out.

Southern vacation spot

This house is very comfortable and set up to feel like home with a beautiful view of the water, The deck is a perfect place to start and end each day, located close enough to shopping and activities to be convenient but far enough away not to be a bother.

Perfect house for large group

This house is amazing, even better than the photos. It has a huge open living area with big kitchen, bar stools, large dining room table and plenty of couch/chairs in the living room area to lounge. The communal space makes it perfect for large groups. The outdoor decks off the main living area and Master were lovely. We had 12 people and there were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to be comfortable. It's so nice that they have beach chairs and games accessible to guests. The place was clean and communication with the owners was easy. Highly recommend, we'll definitely be booking again in the future!

Wonderful home

I can't say enough about this Beautiful home and Amazing location!!! We loved having 2 fridges and 2 sets of washer/dryers. With 4 adult children with their own spouses and children, we needed them! I cannot tell you how nice it was to not have to worry about anything as this home has it ALL, including beach items. All 7 of our 20 something kids were pleasantly surprised after opening the closet under the house and finding boogie boards, rafts, and beach toys....yes, they suddenly were all 5 years old again!

The consumer is not well represented in the leases

Hurricane Sally messed with our plans. We could not check in until Oct 2 nd. The property managers did try to work with us. We were scheduled to check in Sept 28th. But the city closed gulf shores until Oct 2 nd. Goeff, with property management, contacted us and offered a refund for the first 3 days the city was closed or we could extend our stay by three days. Very fair and reasonable ...right. We selected to extend our stay. Property was clean and ready for us. Then hurricane Delta shows up and we were told to vacate the property a day early per city mandate. The property management did refund a days rent to us. Very fair, when we return to Gulf Shores we will definitely try to rent this property again.
