The location was convenient and the check in process was simple and easy. The kitchen and appliances and furniture was decent. However, we had to go to Target to buy throws to put on top of all the beds to sleep on them as the bedding has a lot of stains and discoloration including pillow cases that we left behind. None of the bedding smelled or looked washed recently at all. I understand that I do not have proof due to pictures but we decided to make the most of it for our first time to the beach. You may want to look into the wiring or fuses as some outlets do not work and one of them in the kitchen surges and the plugin light just flicked on and off. Thank you for the stay, but we will find somewhere with cleaner and/or fresher bedding and linens.
This property is in walking distance to the beach and has a beach access point. The unit I stayed in had beach equipment (wagon, beach toys, cooler, etc). I thought it was very helpful for me and my family. The owner communicated well and allowed us to check in early.
We had a great visit- honest reviews:
Pros: very quiet
Great space for a family of 4
TVs in each room
So many beach toys, chairs, umbrella, and a carrying cart
Plenty of kitchenware and spacious fridge
Nice pool and grilling area
Walking distance to grocery store and a few restaurants
Comfortable beds
Fans in all the rooms and extra fans
Instacart delivers easily
Cons:
Communication is slow
Our sheets had sand in them
Internet is almost non existent
Listing originally said water park on site- itâs gone now but there is no waterpark just a pool
No balcony
There is a sleeper couch but it will make it very tight
Itâs not on the beach, itâs across the street and over which we also werenât aware of. Not a long walk but we believed it to be on the beach.
Limited on towels- so bring extra
Only two rolls of toilet paper supplied so bring extra.
Would recommend and would rent again- but would make these suggestions for future first time renters!
We loved our stay at sea breeze. The location is great, not far from the beach, and very homey. The owner Matthew was easy to get a hold of, easy to work with. If we go back to GS I will definitely look into staying again.
Booked extremely short notice, got a phenomenal price, and was able to take the family down to the beach before the holidays. Great location and 100% would recommend.
I had no way to unlock the unit. I got no email explaining how to get in the unit. I had to contact the owners who didn't contact me back for an hour. I sent an urgent request to VRBO and they had to send an urgent request for them to contact me. The washing machine broke the first day we were there. We went all week with sandy dirty clothes and wet towels for showers and sandy beach towels. I had to call the maintenance guy.
I saw a live huge roach crawling on the floor.
Several people (4) burst in to the condo wanting to check for a water leak. I had no clothes on and they came right in. The beach access was not labeled. We were across the street and had no idea where the beach access was located. It looked ot be a half mile down the road.
We only stayed one night but the condo was roomy for my family of 5. The beds were comfortable and the condo seemed like we were right at home. The owners kept in touch and everything was nice. I highly recommend this place and we would stay here again!!
Property was just as described and with a family of 5 - greatly appreciated the 2nd bathroom. Location was great and easy walking distance to the beach. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.
We had a fabulous time in Matt and Billie's condo. Matt was super easy to contact and they had all the check in information available to us well before our arrival date. They had a new hot water heater installed the day we arrived and communicated 100% of what to expect and followed up to ensure all was well for us after installation. I would recommend their property to our friends and family. One thing I didn't know or expect was all the beach offerings they had. They have chairs, umbrella, sand toys, water floats and much more available for use. Which I didn't see in their listing but it's there to use. Was a fun get away with our family.
We stayed here to attend our family reunion in town. We did not spend much time here due to the reunion, but our family is looking into staying here again for our future trip. It was clean and everything was as it stated. Only thing I would like to have different is maybe to be able to check in a little earlier than 4.
We love the family aspect of Gulf Shores. The sugar sand beaches and all of the great restaurants. We like to say the best part of Gulf Shores Alabama is it is populated by Alabamans.
Close to everything. No possible way to be bored in Gulf Shores. Go see the Blue Angels, dolphins, alligators, or take a hike in the beautiful state park.
