Overall Good experience

Nice place! good location, comfortable beds, very convenient outdoor showers, the mini gulf area was great for the young kids. The only problem I had was the ac couldn't keep up and let the house get hot at evenings and couches had dog hair all over but overall its a good place

Family vacation

My family and I really enjoyed staying here. The house was clean and comfortable. When we weren't at the beach, we were playing the mini putt putt course or corn hole that the house offered. There is also a storage room full of beach supplies. The patio and many of the rooms had nice views of the gulf. The neighborhood was quite and the beach wasn't very busy for our trip in May, which was nice. No issues with getting in or out of the place and the owners were excellent at communication. We will definitely plan on booking again.

Great stay

We were 5 friends staying together - 2 couples and a single. Property worked great for us. Nice beach access. It's a bit of a drive to Gulf Shores (30 minutes) but we consider that a benefit. Nice, quiet and residential where the house is. Hosts were very communicative and responsive.

Outstanding Home!!

Our family stayed at the home in Gulf Shores AL. The home was everything we could’ve hoped for! Plenty of room, clean, and well stocked. We were steps from the beach! Highly recommend Doug and Rose to book with! He was very responsive to messages and checked on us throughout our stay to make sure everything was up to our expectations. We cannot wait to book our next trip with them!

Just a great stay!

Location turned out to be great. Short drive to my 2 favorite restaurants, and golf/Kiva Dunes. Views of the ocean even better than expected. Walk to the beach was shorter than last 2 condos that were ‘on the beach’. And really nice small/extra touches…a full spice rack, assorted k cup coffee choices etc. just a very nice stay. Joel👍

Fall Beach Trip

It was a wonderful time of year to visit. Coffee and reading on the deck every am, sand and sun all day, cocktails and company in the evening. Perfect get-together with adult kids and friends. Place was fully stocked with essentials and lots of extras for enjoying the beach. We will be back next fall.

Family Gettaway

I was looking for a place that would allow a larger dog and room for family members if they were able to join us. This beach house fit the bill and has everything you would need to enjoy yourself on the beach. They have beach chairs, boogie boards and even a wagon to carry everything. The beach house is beautiful, with three king size beds and two bunkbeds and the kitchen is stocked with anything you'll find in your own kitchen, even an instant pot. I was going to bring mine from home but didn't have room for it so I was very excited to see one there. This was the most relaxing vacation I've had in a long time. It felt like my home away from home. Checking in and out was the easiest ever. Thank you for sharing your beach house with us.

Family Fall trip

Our family enjoyed our stay at this updated beautiful cottage! Very immaculately maintained and property owner, Doug Spurling , reached out often to make sure we had everything we needed. Beach is just a short walk and we used the wagon and chairs at the property. Went to a couple restaurants close by and grilled out one night. Gorgeous views of the water from the wrap around deck! Hope to be back again.

Gulf Shore recon

1) Property was not cleaned from previous guests, ( all bed linens on floor, trash cans full, food on floor, dirty bath linens in tubs awaiting laundering, bathrooms not cleaned, baby shoes/ toys in window sills, dirty dishes, dirty knives in holder, dirty pots/pans, food/ drinks in outdoor cooler, etc.) we had to wait additional 4 hrs after a day (7hrs) of travel driving for cleaning service to come out and clean it which took longer than anticipated, host offered to pay for dinner while waiting for property to get cleaned---great offer however the service cost of cleaning is lots more than dinner ticket price. Still awaiting dinner compensation to appear on invoice. 2) dryer didn't work so power company and electricians had to come out and repair / install new panel box which was suppose to have electricity cut off for 3hrs starting at 9am but we returned at 4pm and power company still working so we left and returned after dining when they were finally gone. Home was smaller than expected and 3 adults were tight as the rooms were small. All dishes in home were dirty and had to be cleaned before using. Location in community was great and that's the only compliment I can give. Won't return.

About the host

Hosted by Rose Larrabee

Host profile image
My wife and I have four kids and live in Kennebunkport, Maine. When we do have any free time (haha) we love to travel to our beach house in Gulf Shores. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do :) We started Waves & Wildnerness in 2020 and have been hosting full-time ever since.

Why they chose this property

You'll love that you can see the waves and smell the ocean, but you're not so close you have to deal with people walking in front of your house. You can walk down the stairs, take a few steps, and you're on the beach. If you need to head into town you're 10-20 minutes away from everything.

What makes this property unique

This beach house has a wrap-around deck with great views, is just steps to the beach, has an open concept living room, and strong wifi.

Premier Host
