Beach Wedding

Love the wide open concept, well furnished, many amenities, infinity pool and the view was stunning! This is a sister property to the Veranda across the street where my daughter had her beach wedding! So convenient being right across the street from her. Between the two houses we had ample room for all the family and friends attending the wedding.Excellent venue!

We will be back!

House is a wonderful rental and suits our adult family well. Lots of space in the common areas and large bedrooms. Love the pool and proximity to beach. Kitchen is perfect for cooking. We typically stay in and only go out one night. Was only 15 min drive to dinner. This is our second time at this house and we are likely to book again.

Summer 2024

the house was wonderful. the pool is smaller then what you think from the pictures but it worked out fine with 9 grandkid's. The walk to the beach is not as easy as you think. The weather was not great and the ocean was Double red flags 4 days so we did bot get to enjoy the ocean as much as we would have liked. The house was great and would recommend it.

Making Memories with Ohana

Where to start?! I echo all the sentiments that have been offered as reviews prior to our stay. To say this place is perfect is not an exaggeration. Our original beachside rental was cancelled within two weeks of our arrival and we were scrambling to find a suitable replacement for our adult family of ten. My sister found Veranda Laguna and we've never been so happy to have a beach rental cancelled! Our young adults especially loved the pool and the deck as well as the short walk to the beach. George and Kelly suggested a motorized beach buggy rental that was life changing in getting all our paraphernalia to the beach. We had a couple of days where we never even made it to the beach. From fishing off the pier, renting kayaks for the lagoon, the infinity pool, the massive deck/patio, the firepit, and spacious open-concept living/dining/kitchen, we didn't have to leave at all. And you can't forget the spectacular sunset every evening! :) Our goal was to create new memories and we couldn't have chosen a better place to make those memories!! Thank you so much for opening your home to us...you truly thought of everything...and for being the most gracious hosts!!

After a long, online search we found this property. It was perfect! The size and location were exactly what the Bride & Groom wanted for their wedding ceremony. This property was designed for hosting! The flow of the layout is perfect for events such as this. And Kelly was so helpful and prompt with her responses when we had questions.

One of the best vacations we've had!

Property was clean and beautiful. All enjoyed the pool and the view. The back deck is huge with plenty of seating. We put hammocks up on the dock, and it was so relaxing. Our daughter is in a wheelchair and the elevator and walk-in shower made her experience so easy! Our family enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much! Would love to come back one day!

Family wedding

We chose this house because of their welcomeness to events and they absolutely came through! The property was amazing. The patio and living space are absolutely perfect for entertaining. Every guest room has a bathroom, huge kitchen with two fridges and three dishwashers! Family and kids had the best time in the pool overlooking the dock and water. The upstairs was perfect for the bridal party to get ready with the separate living space and mini bar. They just thought of everything when it came to this property and it really shows. The dog run underneath is the cherry on top. We could not have asked for a better space to spend the weekend! And Kelly our POC could not have been more accessible and patient with our questions and concerns prior, during and ending our stay. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for an amazing weekend

Amazing

Amazing home, location and experience! Can't say enough good things about our stay. We had 10 adults and 3 toddlers and had more than enough room. It was a quick and easy walk to the beach (few people and felt private), and we enjoyed gorgeous sunsets from the house on the lagoon (while relaxing in the pool)! We had no issues whatsoever but management still checked in on us via text, which I appreciated. Thank you for an amazing family vacation!

Absolutely Amazing!

This place is exactly as pictured. New house smell, beach breeze, 360 degree views, fully stocked with anything and everything you could need and so much room! We travelled with 8 adults and 13 children ranging in age from 1-13. The house had everything we needed for cooking for our large family. The access to the pool was right at the back door so anyone in the kitchen and living areas were easily able to watch the back patio and pool area. The firepit was great for the cool nights. The outdoor grill was right there on the patio so whoever was grilling wasn't missing any of the action. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the property manager, Kelly, leading up to our stay and while we were there. She was so kind and helpful! We were able to fish and crab (we did bring our own crab traps) off of the dock and caught about a dozen and a half over the week and boiled them on our last night. I would absolutely stay here again. Being bay side added another activity for us to do and it was great. The walk to the beach was very short.

First Class Gulf Shores

Veranda Laguna is a nice slice of luxury along the lagoon shore across from the beach in Gulf Shores. The dock was perfect for our fishing and paddle boarding. The pool and deck are great. Kitchen large and on point. Amenities and attention to detail stand out. When couples showed up for the stay they were all amazed at the nice place we had found.

Perfect wedding venue

We used Veranda Laguna as both our lodging and venue for our April wedding. The house is spacious, very clean, and designed with large parties in mind. Tons of dishes and cookware available. Beds are very comfortable. Pool is heated. The house does not have some extra amenities that you would expect like hair dryers, salt and pepper, no extra towels etc. This is all disclosed in the welcome packet so just read thoroughly! They do provide several dishwasher packets and some laundry detergent! The house as a wedding venue was PERFECT! Plenty of room to get ready. The weather we had was incredible. We had the ceremony down in the sand on the lagoon. All the sliding glass doors leading to the deck are pocket doors. We opened those and the reception flowed within the kitchen, living room and deck. We had around 70 guests plus vendors and we did not feel crammed at all. The kitchen island was plenty big to set up a dinner buffet. On the deck we were able to fit a DJ, bar with bartenders, dance floor, and several cocktail styles tables. We also utilized some of the patio furniture for seating as well. The gas firepit on the deck was a hit when it got chilly at night and the pool lights up in fun colors. Since this house is lagoon side I wasn’t expecting much of a sunset but I was wrong. Truly one of the best sunsets. Kelly was amazing. She was sweet and very helpful. Any question she was just a text away. Vacation, wedding, or both…just book it you won’t regret it!!

Perfect Place to Share Memories

Veranda Laguna was the perfect setting to gather with family that live all over the country and rarely get to spend time together. The layout of the house provides space for coming together and having alone time when needed- all in a beautiful setting.

Above & Beyond Expectations

We arrived with 8 guys for a our annual golf trip and had more then enough room for everyone. Plenty of bedrooms & bathrooms and the kitchen/common area provided a great space for everyone to hang out and enjoy meals together. We spent hours soaking up the nice weather on the multiple decks/patios around the house. Communication with the host was flawless and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
