We spent our family vacation in Gulf Shores at this beautiful house. It was close enough to take walks to the downtown of Gulf Shores. Our family enjoyed all of the amenities the vacation home had to offer. The outside tv, pool table and vast selection of beach equipment was nice to have available for our family. Mark and Debbie were easy to reach and very helpful. I would definitely plan another family trip at this location.

Beautiful! This house is spacious and comfortable with spectacular ocean views. Our family of 7 adults had plenty of room and comfortable seating both inside and outside. With our family group expanding to 7 this year, we opted for a house for our May trip to the beach. Karson’s Kastle did not disappoint.

We rented the property for a family vacation, with folks ages 3 months to 60 years. The property was right on the beach, allowing phenomenal access to move back and forth as the kids lost/gained interest. Plenty of beds for all the couples to have at least a queen, and plenty of seating space for hanging out. Would definitely recommend!
