Great vacation home!

Really enjoyed our time here! The place was big enough for all our family and in a great location. Kids had a great time in the pool and the lagoon, also the beach was just a short walk away. I would definitely stay here again.

Great getaway for family

Didn't find the 3rd bedroom until 2 days after staying, but it was on because the rest of the family didn't get there until the 4th day. Plenty of room for us all. Pool was a little smaller but worked out perfectly. Would recommend to anyone wanting a great getaway for family coming from different states. Had a wonderful time. Thank you

Fun Family Vacation

My family enjoyed staying at Sol Mates. It had a perfect layout and plenty of room for all of us. I loved the fact that we could all come together for meals and swimming, and in the evening we could all retreat to our own areas (if we chose to). My son-in-law, sons, and dad really enjoyed fishing off the pier. The walk to the beach was a short one and many of the restaurants were a short drive away. Ken was super helpful and easy to reach by text/phone call. We would love to stay at Sol Mates during our next family vacation!

Labor Day at Gulf Shores

Great location. Well stocked with appliances and dishes, but short of towels and sheets for the number of people in our party, but additional were provided by the 3rd day. The place could use a deep cleaning (didn't meet my spouse's expectation). But was fine for most of us and all left happy.

Family Time

We had a delightful stay at Sol Mates. Home had everything we needed with plenty of space for the family to spread out. (7 adults/2 dogs). Everyone had their own room. We didn't cook much but there seemed to be adequate utensils/pots/pans etc. The dogs enjoyed the grassy back yard. The pool was refreshing. We had so much fun with Carlos Sanchez (the blue heron that hangs out) watching him dive for fish off of the dock and even hand feeding him with the ones we caught. Close to local attractions/dining venues. Short walk to the sandy beach front on a nicely paved path. Property owner responsive/available for questions. Would definitely stay again.

Great layout for groups

The layout of the three separate living spaces was perfect for our family. The fenced in yard to the lagoon worked perfect for our dog. The only thing I would have liked to know prior to going is that dogs are not allowed on any public beach in AL. I did not know this was a law. We did find a historical beach at Fort Morgan that allowed dogs, so it worked out well for us. But I wish the listing had mentioned this in its description just so we could have been a little more prepared. People from out of state may not realize this is a thing like we didn’t. Overall, the house, location, access to the beach and lagoon were all perfect for our group of 6.

Hot Mess

My review I wrote is actually nearly 650 words as we encountered numerous problems while staying there. I will be happy to provide those to the owner separately. In summary, wouldn't recommend going in late July due to excessive heat. The cleanliness of the home was poor to average. The home did accommodate my entire family, and we used the small pool extensively but found the lagoon smelly and murky. If you bring a dog, be aware of sand burrs are everywhere. Cute decorations inside and only a short walk to beach. Great golf courses nearby. Found magots in the outside trash bins (gross). Pullout bed had black mold on the mattress. One pillowcase had an old blood stain. Kitchen trash cans had previous tenants' gunk on the bottom. Thermostat acted up occasionally. One entry door lock didn't work. Dirty box fan provided in master bedroom as ceiling fan only had one slow speed. I could go on, but cleaning and property mgmt. are lacking here. I'm not sure the owner knows how bad it is but just wanted to share my feedback after vacationing every year and stating in several rental properties. I wish the owner the nest as managing these is not an easy job.

Perfect Mother-Daughter-dogs long weekend!

My (now adult) daughter and I have been coming to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach a couple of times a year since 2010, and I have no idea how we've missed this hidden gem! We always travel with our dogs, and finding a pet-friendly rental for a long weekend like we just had or our two week vacation every summer is not always easy. Salty Dog not only invites pets, it caters to them! Our dogs loved the yard and after the first trip down the pier, didn't even mind the lapping water under the deck! (be careful with small dogs under ten pounds, there are a few 'escape zones' , but don't let that stop you!) Being outside in the evenings is super quiet and relaxing, and the hot tub is certainly a bonus! Even though the main strip is just around the corner, you feel secluded. From a location perspective, it is the perfect combination of on the water and near the beach, and the view from the kitchen window in the morning can't be beat! The house is coastal and welcoming, and plenty of room for one or more families to spend time together without stepping on each others toes. Everything you need is at your disposal, and if you didn't remember to bring your leashes from home...well you will find three like-new retractable leashes to use, because we forgot them! ha...which we realized four hours into the drive home when stopping at a rest area to walk the dogs. yikes! We will absolutely be returning to the Salty Dog on a regular basis! After 6 years of vacationing, we have found our perfect spot. Enjoy!!

Fantastic!

We had such a great stay at Gulf Shores! There were so many positives on our stay for the week of Thanksgiving. The joined townhomes gave our large family room to stretch out a little and still have some privacy when we needed it. The oldest and her family took the room/bathroom downstairs and didn’t have any issues with the humidity due to the careful considerations from the owner. The rest of the crew divided up in the upstairs and settled in with no issues. There have been several improvements made to the property recently (new flooring, painting, the dock was newly replaced) and we felt very safe and comfortable with the little ones having freedom to roam some with not as many adult eyes being necessary. You can tell the property is in various stages of upgrades and improvements, but nothing was non-usable or unsafe. When an issue came up the AC unit on Thanksgiving day, Ken got back to us and made sure everything was good to go. Fortunately, we were able to let him wait until after we had checked out since the weather cooperated but he was available and didn’t hesitate to come over if we needed it right away. Since we had never been in the area before, he answered numerous questions before hand with grace and patience. Would absolutely recommend and look forward to visiting again in the future.
