Two Blocks from the Beach

If you're going to the beach, this is the perfect place. Spacious deck and pet friendly. My only issues were the ants in the kitchen and inconsistent wifi.

Location was great!

For the price, it was perfect for us! Even though it is a close walk to the beach, to get all our stuff there we parked across the street from the paid parking lot, in the free one.parking lot, and then walked across

2024 Shrimp Festival

Property is in a great location. We walked to the Shrimp Festival every day. Only problem we had in our stay was 1 TV remote for 2 TV's. Not fun taking remote back and forth. Everything else was great. Will stay here again.

Everything we needed in a perfect location

A perfect location between the beach, restaurants, and store. It came stocked with dishes, pots and pans. So we could make our own breakfast and lunches. And we went out for dinners.. Walked to the beach everyday, the kids had a blast while me and the missus relaxed and cought some sun on the sandy beach.

My stay

Only issue I really had was not being able to add a day on the front or back end of my stay and the inability to let me check in early as I was stranded with a family of 5 and a carload of softball gear and luggage. Outside of this, great for the price and convenient location. We enjoyed our time.

Location is Great

Location is GREAT. Everything you need is in walking distance. We stayed the weekend and only used our car once and that was because we wanted to eat dinner in orange beach. Communication was a little slow but I really didn't need anything once I read the ENTIRE check in message the owner sent me. Would definitely stay here again. Once negative thing is the TV in bed room only has apps no local channels to watch football game lol

It was ok

Pros: This proper was close and convenient to a lot of places. It’s only about 2 blocks from the beach. Walking distance to Sunliner Diner which has great breakfasts, as well as other restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed the privacy and quiet that a Vrbo offers. Cons: the living room furniture was worn out - especially the chairs. There’s little to no cushion left in the seat cushions. The bed was terribly uncomfortable. It was so soft, that our back, hips and arms hurt at night and all day. We probably wouldn’t stay there again for these reasons. I never had any idea about all the extra charges till we went to book the property so it was far more expensive than we expected. But nonetheless, we did book it.

Nice spot for a walk to the beach!

We loved being at this rental! It was close enough to walk to the beach or any of the shops and local restaurants. It was very clean when we got there and comfortable to stay in. It is a duplex, so we had neighbors while we were there but we couldn’t hear them really. Overall we would stay again!
