Very nice stay
We stayed here during a trip to Gulf Shores for a high school softball tournament. It was myself, my daughter and another player on her team. It was perfect for the 3 of us, and not too far from any of the parks or the main area of Gulf Shores (The Hangout). We'd definitely book here again!

We stayed two weeks and had a great time. The cottage is fantastic - big, well equipped, and right by the water and lagoon. We loved searching for shells and walking along the beautiful beach. We'll be back!

Late Vacation
Great location and beautiful cottage. Everything was just almost perfect - turned a little cool and rainy the last couple of days. Have to agree with the last guests that left a review - the couch really does need to be replaced. Other than that GREAT.

Thanksgiving Stay
We had a wonderful stay at this property. Everything was clean and well stocked with dishes and cooking items. Only disappointment was the beach was closed at our access spot but that was beyond anyone’s control. The couch was a little worn but nothing terrible. We would definitely come back again! Communication with the property manager was great!

Like Home Away
The home was very clean. All of the necessities were there. Check in and out was easy. The property pool was extremely nice and very quiet with us traveling off season. The swing on the dock was relaxing. As a senior, think about your ability to walk up two flights of steps with luggage. The property management team was on it!

Gorgeous view of ocean from master bedroom
Our condo was right at the street so we had a view of the ocean out our den windows plus in the master bedroom. Then to get to ocean u walk across the street & walk the beach access path. I’m 71yo & had 3 back surgeries, so if I could navigate that walk I know all you young adults can. My grandson & his wife were with me & they fell in love with this condo & will b renting it again with their friends. Condo was beautiful & very clean & had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Thank you Purple Heron

Quiet, Relaxing, Clean
Check In process was a breeze and communication with property management was consistent and simple. We stayed 6 days and 5 nights in the beginning of April. The property was clean and the living area inside was spacious for our family of 4. Access to the beach was a straight path across the road where we ent each day. Area was quiet and evening walks on the dock were pleasant and relaxing. Beach chairs are available for use. but recommend bringing a beach wagon if you have smaller children that are not able to carry their own items. Plenty of restaurants in close driving range, but our favorite was takeout from S&S Seafood Market that we brought back to the home. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a quiet relaxing place in Gulf Shores.

Loved this place
We thoroughly enjoyed this place. Loved that it had a washer and dryer close to the bedrooms. The location was great especially being the end unit so we had great sun. A couple suggestions - end tables in the livingroom would be nice. Also an empty cupboard to put dry goods. But these things were minor. We would definitely go back!

Perfect family spot
The house was so nice and very well kept. I am usually not a fan of places that require crossing a street to get to the beach(it can be difficult to manage with little ones), but the beach access was directly across the street from the rental and the street was not busy at all. With the rental being on the end closest to the road you still have a good ocean view from all the windows and balcony. The pool was very clean and had a nice view of the lagoon. The rental is located in a more residential area, away from the high rise condos so it was quiet. 10/10 recommend!

Great place!
Me, my husband and son stayed here at the end of Aug and it was a great location! Very clean, right across from the beach and beach access. It rained 3 of the days we were there, but we made the best of it and the house was close enough to find indoor activities for the rainy days. We did have one beach day and they had chairs and some beach toys in the storage area by where you park your car. We had a great time, tried some great restaurants and saw some dolphins! Would def recommend this location to friends and would stay here again!
