What more could you want for a vacation rental! Please Be Our Guest!

Why choose Shore to Please?

1.)The location of our house is perfect! The beach is right across the street and the lagoon is right behind us. A great paved pathway leads to both and is much easier than dragging your wagon through the sand. The lagoon has a new pier for fun family fishing. Our large community pool is right across from our stairs to the balcony. Easy to run back & forth for your family.
2.)The set up of the house is great for multiple families. 2 king suites with ensuite bathrooms, a bunk room, plus a room with 2 full beds.
3.)The balcony is the number one hangout place for our guests. A new high-top table & chairs, plus rocking chairs are the perfect place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee or after a long day at the beach, an evening night cap.
4.)Our house is meticulously maintained and clean. Look at our reviews and look at what prior guests are saying.

Here are a few kind words from our previous guests:

“This home was immaculate. It seemed the host had thought of everything. It was so nice to be able to check in and have the basics provided for you. The kitchen and bathrooms were very well equipped. Deanna had many nice extra touches in the home which made it feel very much like home. The home was very spacious and clean. Very comfortable: We enjoyed the games and puzzles and all the beach items that were available to be used. We loved our stay and enjoyed our week. It was a fantastic family vacation!” Jessalyn 2023

“Great stay. I would definitely recommend this place. Awesome pool, clean home, and a super gracious host. We had group of 8 adult women, we had tons of space, we enjoyed the porch and the pool. Home was as listed, comfortable, and had lots of extras. Peaceful, quiet, and safe. Excellent place.” Keish 2023

☆☆ BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS☆☆

Our beach house was designed with families in mind! Plenty of space and room for everyone to enjoy their vacation! There are two king suites with en-suite bathrooms. The 2 full-size bed bedroom and the twin bunk room are connected by a full-size bathroom. One of the king bedrooms has ample space if a pack n play (provided) is needed for a little one in the same bedroom. Another full-size bathroom is located on the first floor for our guest’s convenience.

No need to worry about storage - all bedrooms come equipped with a large closet, dresser or chest of drawers, a ceiling fan, & floor fan for your use. Each bathroom is well-appointed with a hairdryer, fluffy towels, either a stand-up walk-in shower or tub/shower combo, rugs, plenty of lighting, electrical outlets, and storage.

Each bedroom boasts a large wall-mounted smart TV. Don’t forget to bring all your login information for a personalized entertainment experience!

All bathrooms have toilet paper, hand soap, & bar soap. Bath towels, hand towels, wash clothes, and black face wash clothes are also provided for each bathroom.

☆☆ KITCHEN & LIVING ROOM☆☆

The heart of our house is the large open concept area on the main living floor, where the fully equipped kitchen, dining room, and living room come together. It is designed for everyone to be part of the family time, no matter where they are.

The kitchen is an inviting space, equipped with all new stainless-steel appliances, a large pantry, crock pot, blender, toaster, 12 cup drip coffee maker, spice rack, electric wine opener, and plenty of cookware & dishes. We even have special children’s dishes! The fridge features an ice maker and water dispenser, just like at home.

Gather around the long bar with multiple stools or take a seat at the gorgeous dining room table, ensuring everyone has a spot for a fantastic family meal. Feel free to take a plate out to the balcony.

The comfy living room offers a great view of the balcony and The Gulf. Relax in the evening with the 65” wall mounted smart tv with cable on one of the two comfy couches or rocking chairs. Plenty of family games and cards are available for your family’s fun night. For added convenience, a large capacity washer & dryer are available for your stay.

☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆

The outdoor space here is phenomenal. Right outside the living room door is the balcony which spans the width of the house, offering views of the Gulf and you can also see the pool area. The best area is the large grassy area in front of the house. Hours of play have been had here between all the kids in the community in the evenings. SO MUCH FUN! We have also recently added a high-top table with 4 chairs plus 2 new rocking chairs for your enjoyment. The guest will have access to the pool that is located directly behind the house. The pool is NOT heated, yet…

Rest assured; our beach house is meticulously maintained. We have a personal cleaning service and manage the house ourselves to ensure our guests are taken care of. You will have 24/7 access to us once you book your vacation. If the pullout queen sofa is needed, let us know, and bedding will be left for its use.

The ground floor of the house is the parking area which will hold 2 large vehicles or 3-4 smaller vehicles. They must all fit under the house. A large grill to use while enjoying the breeze off the gulf in the evenings is also stored here.

We look forward to hosting you for a memorable vacation.

Beautiful place!

We really enjoyed our week at Shore to Please! Absolutely no complaints about the house, it was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. Deanna was very prompt and helpful at all times. The only issue we had was the distance to the beach with the little ones. This would not have been a problem if we hadn’t needed so much stuff for the smaller kids and it had just been us adults. We would all definitely stay there again and I highly recommend this beach stay :) thank you for a wonderful place to stay for a week with family and friends!

Perfect location and perfect hospitality

We loved this property for its location to the beach, the bay, and how it is situated more on the quiet end of Gulf Shores island. Our kids loved the access to the pool and sitting out on the balcony overlooking the beach. We would definitely stay here again!

Shore to Please is right!

We were in town for a baseball tournament. John and Deanna are wonderful hosts and super responsive. The house is just as advertised. Very convenient to the beach and well-appointed. We enjoyed coffee on the porch before heading out to the ball fields and cold drinks on the porch afterwards! I highly recommend Shore to Please.

Wonderful Home for family!

From beginning to end this was a great experience. The owner was extremely helpful and quick to respond with any of my questions! We were surprised to find toys & even eating utensils for our 2 year old, as well as games and beach & pool items for our older kiddos (ages 15-20). The decor is adorable, the home is very clean and well taken care of! It’s a short walk to the beach (the wagon is SO helpful!) and the pool is the perfect distance from the door! (Right behind it!) 👏🏼👏🏼 The neighborhood was quiet and also VERY clean. It’s a very short drive to area restaurants, entertainment & shopping. We had a wonderful experience!

Sure to please!

This place was awesome! Enough covered parking for up to four vehicles, across the street from the beach, and a digital welcome package (link that acts like an app) that puts all the info in one spot on your phone and makes check-in and communication a breeze! We had exactly the space we needed and were comfortable the whole time. The only negative was that we wished the internet was a little faster, but that wasn't a major issue. We will definitely be checking this place for availability the next time we plan to come to Gulf Shores. We recommend!

Overall the house was great! Super comfy beds , decorated nice ! The only probably we had was the house wasn’t ready when we arrived to check in. The cleaning staff and Deanna we super apologetic and we understand things happen sometimes! It was nice to be on the end house and pool was super close ! The beach acces was a little further that we had anticipated, but made friends with the people staying across the street and they let us use their beach access . The house had plenty of towels , lots of beach chairs and toys to use ! Overall very good experience !

Best Ever Girls Getaway

Best beach house on the block! This house is in a great location...close to Gulf Shores but far enough away to avoid crowds. The front porch faces the ocean and is decked out with cozy furniture. Parking is awesome! We fit two Tahoe's, a Blazer and a Camry in the parking space underneath the house. The storage room is loaded with beach chairs, beach toys, boogie boards and a wagon. There's also a gas grill. The interior of the house is absolutely gorgeous, super clean and completely cozy. Beds are comfortable, there is an abundance of towels (enough for 8 women), the kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook and serve beach meals. There are beach towels for guests to use and lots of games provided for family game time. Can't say enough good things about this awesome house! Thank you for a great getaway!

The house was amazing and exactly as it was described. The new amenities were a plus, beds were extremely comfortable, even the towels Deana provided were plush:). The pool was very convenient, clean and walking trails behind the property and beach area provided a different yet very fun excursion.

Hello! Thank you for considering staying in one of our properties with Barnes Beach Houses! We privately own and manage our homes and take pride in all of them!

My husband and I live in Mansfield, TX and love hosting our guests. The majority of our guests are repeat guests and love to come back and stay at our properties year after year. We have five children; one still at home, one in college, and three more that are adults and have blessed us with five grandchildren. We both work in the healthcare industry and love to travel in our free time.

We both stay in short-term rentals when we travel, which I feel makes us better hosts. We know what we like when we stay somewhere and make sure you have the same amenities and consideration. We want all our guests to be comfortable in our houses.
