Great location

Location, location, location. This property was at a great location just across the street from public access to the beach. Parking was easy just off main road under the house. Front part of home is newly remodeled. Back part is older, but in good condition. Nice upper level deck, for outdoor time.

Quick Beach Vacation

The house was as described and they mentioned construction so it wasn't a surprise but the construction meant we had to walk down a bit to get to beach. Wished the unit had a grill but overall we had everything we needed and it was spacious.

Location!

Wonderful house located directly across from the BEACH! (Sit on the front porch and stare at the ocean waves close!) We enjoyed our stay with plenty of room for all seven of us. This adorable house was in the perfect spot - easy walking distance to shops and dinning, a short drive to get groceries and near Gulf State Park, a beautiful place to hike or bike through! Wonderful management company that kept in constant communication throughout the trip! Will definitely be coming back!

Closest House to the Beach!

Honestly, unless you want a high-rise condo, this is the closest house to the beach without being on it. Easy walk across the street and you are in sand. Very clean & well decorated interior. Nice porch for sitting, just keep in mind that the street can be loud with traffic at times. We stayed for a Beach V.Ball tournament and the location was so convenient to walk back & forth.

Party of 6

The location was perfect. The view was beautiful. There was plenty of room for everyone to get comfortable in their own space. Plenty of parking. Even though the description said no beach items, there were beach chairs available. The house had all the utensils/kitchen appliances, etc. that we needed to cook meals at the house. If we go back, we will stay here again!

Shrimp fest stay

Very convenient location for the festival we were there to attend so it was perfect for our stay. House was as described and comfortable for our group. Property management was top notch! We had a small maintenance issue when we arrived that was handled very promptly and professionally despite the extreme traffic, road closures and detours in the area at the time of the Shrimpfest . Would definitely recommend for being close to all the fun beach action and festivities that occur around the Hangout area but during peak times expect lively neighbors and happy people foot traffic until the bars close!
