The Highlights

Lotus Blossom is a spacious 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath gulf front home in beautiful Gulf Shores. If your goal is to be directly on the beach but you don't need all the extra frills, this home is the perfect fit for you. You'll be right in town so you can take advantage of all the great restaurants and shopping that Gulf Shores offers.

The Space

The open living area features a cathedral ceiling in the living room, 55” smart tv, an ample kitchen and seating for 8 at the breakfast bar and dining table. Outside, the large water front deck offers something for everyone. The sun worshippers can sit on the sunny side, while those who prefer the shade can sit under the cover of the balcony above. There is a Queen bedroom off the living area with a private bath. A half bath with washer and dryer completes this level.

Upstairs, the Queen Master has a private bath with double sinks, 32” smart tv and a private balcony with direct gulf front views.

“No frills” Disrepair

Upon arrival found thermostat set at 67 but temperature reading was 80 inside, no internet and no ability to watch tv and a leaking fridge. Property manager was prompt in responses and communicative but that didn’t fix any of the issues. AC repairman came out that night to refill Freon which promptly leaked out. Went without ac for 5 days. No internet for 4 days. Fridge never got repaired. Got tired of having to complain, got tired of repairmen and issues. They offered us a couple of extra days for free but with work out, uncomfortable beds, hurricane shutters that wouldn’t latch shut keeping us up at night banging in the wind, a ceiling fan that made constant noise, a house that sways with every step, and all of the other issues, who would want to stay longer?! As a consolation prize they refunded 1 night of the rental. Doubtful that even covers my cell phone hotspot usage for the 4 days without internet. At least the next renter will have a brand new ac unit, which is about the only thing in the house from this decade, maybe even this century Location is amazing. House needs way more than just some TLC and updates, it needs a major overhaul. We have visited Gulf Shores/Orange Beach for 11 years in a row, always renting houses directly on the beach so we have seen a lot of what the place has to offer. This one is at the very bottom of the list.

Great family house

My family and I loved this house! We were so happy to find a home steps from the beach and in our price range. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The first night one of the showers was not draining well, we contacted management and they sent someone to fix it the same day. They were on it! We went in early fall and the street was not busy or loud and we were able to set up on the beach directly in front of the house. Saw dolphins in the morning and a beautiful view of the sunrise/sunset. We plan to visit again!

Family vacay

The house was perfect for our family!! Our only issue was the driveway. One side of the driveway was very hard to get in and out of because of the deep sand. There were several times we almost got stuck lol. Other than that it was great and we would defy stay here again!!

Sugar sand beach

We had a fantastic time at the Lotus Blossom. The house was clean & comfortable. The location was fabulous, directly on the beach. We had read reviews so we knew to bring our own chairs for the deck area & beach. It was perfect for our family and we hope to return soon.

Great location.

Amazing beach access. Spacious home, great location. Very minimal kitchen accessories though, not even salt and pepper. All of the beds upstairs were very uncomfortable. Most of us ended up sleeping on the floor or the couch cushions. If the mattresses are replaced/updated then we would definitely book here again.

The house was exactly what we expected and very clean. The host responded quickly to our questions and there are plently off attractions and great resturants close by. I would definitely recommend the Lotus Blossom to friends and family.

Great location

Location is great. Bunk beds need mattresses-no one would sleep on them. Adequate kitchen-but need that large pot for spaghetti / shrimp. A few improvements outside (fence) would approve appearance. We did get deck chairs delivered while there. There are no chairs on upper deck. Would rent again but would expect improvements over this stay

Excellent location

Lotus Blossom was the perfect spot for our family vacation with 6 adults and 4 small children. The location is very convenient to everything, yet just far enough from the very busy areas with the condos. The beach was much less crowded, and that made it more enjoyable for us, especially with young children. The short distance from the house to the beach was a pleasant surprise! We have stayed in many other houses in that area, and this one was the closest for hauling all of our stuff to the beach. The queen bed in the bunkroom and the queen bed in the bedroom without a bath upstairs would be better if the mattresses were thicker, like the one in the front bedroom upstairs. A king sized bed would be ideal in one of the bedrooms also, but overall, we were happy with the house, and really enjoyed our week there. We would rent this property again.

Very outdated and rundown

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The good - right on the beach and the perfect number of bedrooms for a small family. The bad - no suitable outside seating - four chairs and we fell through 2 and then were scared to use anymore. No hotpads, very few cooking utensils, old outdated decor, exposed and old seals around sinks, terrible beds where you could feel all the springs in the mattresses, exterior rough, fence needs repair, no concrete driveway, nonworking ice maker.

Reviewer Comments: Dirty, house swayed, kitchen and bathroom faucets leaked,beds were very uncomfortable, ice maker didn’t work in fridge my husband had to repair, oven smelled awful! Guests from across the street came over very early in the a.m and took all the best beach spaces in front of the house. We had to walk down the beach to get a spot Stairs from den way too steep. Fall hazard! Only thing good was great AC and washer/dryer. Won’t rent again.

1969 is more than just an address

1969 is more than just an address, it’s also the motif of the house. Old. Dated. Shocking since it was built in the 90’s. Six week later Laura B’s feedback is still relevant. The homeowner does not seem interested in the suggestions the property management company is making. The cons: The kitchen is minimally stocked at best, no sponge, no salt & pepper. The house rocks in the wind, it feels scarier than it actually is structurally, but it’s a fairly easy fix. The metal straps under the house are all heavily rusted, this house would not be save in severe weather. The windows do not open, they actually have old notes written on them, so it’s not a new problem. The blinds do not have stings to go up & be able to have a clear view of the ocean from the master. The windows are very dirty/dated & they have some kind of film over them. The only light in the master bedroom is the lamp on the nightstand. The lights in the fan do not work. The TVs are very dated - think big box (our kids didn’t know what they were), it would be better to have one nice TV in the living room & none in the bedrooms. While sweeping the deck I found a raiser blade. Pros: the management company was very responsive. We needed help with a drain in the shower & they came same day. The location is legit, perfect to get to town & great for the kids with the beach. If you have feral kids, like we do, there is very little your kids could do to this place that would be noticeable.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: In regards to our visit Oct 25-29; 2023, I have never given a review on any place I have stayed. We have been coming coming to Gulf Shores for 60 years. We have stayed in most of the condos and several houses. I have never been in such dirty place as Lotus Blossom. The unit smelled horrible. The refrigerator had been turned off and had a real bad order. We had to buy cleaning supplies to get rid of the smell. The ice maker did not work. The bottom had standing water that would not drain. This also had a bad oder. We had a party of seven and there was not enough silver ware and cooking utensils for all of us. We had to purchase plastic ware. All the utensils had to be washed because they were sticky and dirty. The coffee pot under the cabinet still had old coffee in it. The furniture needs to be updated. It looked like it was picked up from the side of the road. The beds were very uncomfortable and small. Pillows were hard. There was only thin quilts on the beds. The carpet was extremely dirty. Dust was all over the ceiling fans and the air conditioning unit was full of black dirt or mold. The doors also had black dirt or mold on them. I don’t think we should have paid a cleaning fee when we cleaned it ourself! It as a lot cleaner after we left. I think the property manager should check behind the cleaners. The owners need to sell or do a make over. The only good thing was the location.
