The property was in great shape, so close to the beach. The management company was very quick to respond and even came by and introduced themselves and said to call if we needed anything. The house had so many chairs, beach toys etc so we didnt really use ours.
We enjoyed our time at coastal blessings. The beds were comfortable, but the home needs some updates and amenities. It also isnât as well-stocked as some of the other homes we have stayed at in the area. More towels, beach chairs, games, toilet paper, trash bags, coffee paper towels, etc. goes a long way with guests. But overall we loved the place and would return again.
The property was absolutely wonderful. Great location. The only thing that I would change would be to make the area under the house more usable for corn hole at night or something like that.
Will definitely come back to this home so much space and had absolutely everything we needed and so close to the water one of the best houses we've ever stayed at

We were looking for a place for extended family (including the dog!) to gather for a few days with easy beach access...Coastal Blessings provided what we wanted! We loved that it was a quiet location yet only about 20 minutes from Gulf Shores restaurants
Property was adequately stocked and really enjoyed the large deck every afternoon watching the beautiful sunsetsâŠplenty of room for all âŠand we appreciate owners allowing our sweet fur baby to join us⊠thanks to the owners for sharing their lovely property.
We had a great stay. Everything worked as it should. Outdoor decks and furniture were great! Being able to walk out the back door and be on the beach was great! Weather couldnât have been better. Saw dolphins daily. Nice to be away from the traffic at gulf shores.

We had 4 families staying here and the house accommodated us well. Rooms room big, beds were comfy and the best part, steps from the beach. Loved having direct access to the beach. We all enjoyed our stay and looked forward to coming back.

We had 12 people in the house, including 5 kids, and never did we feel cramped! The living/dining area was a bit smaller than it looked like o r he pics, but it was actually never an issue because the deck outside more than made up for it! The deck is what sold me on this particular house and it lived up to its expectations! And the second story deck was also great!
We love the layout of the unit, proximity to the beach, and the dog friendly beach. The unit itself needs maintenance. The dishwasher did not clean well and pinched your fingers every time you opened the door. The sliding door was very difficult to lock. The Master bath fan was Very noisy. The bedroom fan squeaked. The oven light was out. The front right burner ran hot and the back burner was not hot. The Tub drained slow on main bed bath. No outlets in the dining room were functional. The lazy Susan is badly broken. Floors desperately needed mopped ,couch and pillows needed cleaned. Water pressure was good plenty of hot water

This was our second year staying at Coastal Blessings. It is a great house with plenty of room for our crew of 14. Only a couple of minor areas that need improvement. It was very junky under the house with broken chairs,beachtoys,trash, etc. that had been left by previous guests. The property manager came by to check on us. We informed her and she said she would take care of it. She was very friendly. The only other thing is none of the outside deck lights worked. Some had no bulbs at all. Overall, we love this house and hope to come back and enjoy another vacation here!
House was beautiful, beach was stunning. Each morning we seen lots of dolphins swimming !!!
House was beautiful, beach was stunning and each morning we seen lots of dolphins swimming. Ghost crab hunting was really successful without all the crowds from the condos from in town. I'd definitely recommend staying here rather closer to town if you want less crowded and more intimate time with your family and friends. House had everything we needed. Guests left some toys, chairs games etc from prior visits so check the house before you buy anything like that. The owner obviously says it doesn't come with it but some was left. The shower pressure was good. Kitchen was well equipped. The refrigerator had a little bit of trouble keeping up so dont over load it and follow the check in directions exactly and you will be fine. Bring bug spray as bugs at night are out but definitely worth hanging out on the decks. Yes i said decks each room has access to each and plenty of space so everyone to find their own quiet spot to read or relax and enjoy the veiw! Everything was absolutely perfect. I'd definitely recommend and my family and best friends family will be back next year for sure!
We were so thrilled that all 5 bedrooms in this beach house had, not only an ocean view, but a door access to a deck! In 20+ years of renting weâd never been blessed to have a house with a layout like that. Dining table with generous proportions, well-stocked kitchen, delightful 3rd story lookout room, high-quality sturdy deck furniture, granite countertops, easy-close kitchen drawers, new sitting room furniture. Some cons were that there was some dog hair/dust on baseboards/chair rails, a few things needing replaced or in disrepair and we unfortunately found about 6 huge palmetto bugs. The property manager was very responsive and helpful; sent out pest control earlier than their next scheduled treatment. We also had an a/c problem and again, the property manager promptly arranged for repair. Also, there are several tiers of homes behind the beach houses in this area so if youâre like us and prefer more private beach space, set up your beach chairs early to establish your space; otherwise, youâll have large groups of people from behind setting up camp for the day directly in front of your house.

We love Coastal Blessing. The layout fits our family. There is plenty of room for all of us. This year I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the place. There was a lot of sand. I know we are at the beach, but the from the first night, we were wiping off our feet to get in the bed. There was even sand in the master closet. I found clothes from previous renters in obvious places, as well as fallen down beside the dryer. The crow's nest is a great feature. It is fun to go up and look out, but there was nothing up there to sit on so you could enjoy it for more than a minute. It got a little chilly while we were staying there but there were no extra blankets. One last thing is that the master bed and mattress creaked as you got in and out, enough so you were waking your partner. The stove was beginning to show its age in that, the right front burner cooked too hot and the back right burner cooked too low. We adjusted and managed. We love the location close to the ferry, the pet friendly beach, and outside deck. We will rent here again.

This is my first review ever and I kind of hate to post it! It might get booked up before we can re book! :) Our family of 9; 6 adults and 2 teens, an 11 yr old boy & a little doggy, arrived in early July and were immediately in love with this beach house. Some would mention cosmetic issues; but none bothered us enough to mention them!The location & amenities are so perfect; we overlooked all of them. This home was the first we've stayed at in years that was fully stocked with items we needed. I have been taking pans, spatulas, pitchers, etc. Not here. There was multiples of everything; including 3 coffee makers plus a single Kureg! It felt like home.The beach WAS literally steps away. Usually we have SO many wood steps then a nice hike to the beach we are on. Nope, it is right there.Perfection.We had a plumbing issue on Sunday. Before I could call, the office had texted me to see if all was good. I told her about the issue and the handy man was there quick. When that didn't help, a plumber came. All on Sunday and all QUICK, no runaround, no nonsense.Issue reared it's head again on Tuesday and the plumber was right there quick again. Issue fixed!The beds and linens are wonderful; not just your normal white sheets. Nice high count sheets. â„Warning; the master upstairs is HIGH! If you are short, bring a stool! ;)The balcony upstairs was my favorite place. 2 high stools and a table; nice breeze. Wonderful.My family loved everything about the house, the beach and the surrounding area. We surely hope to be back again.
We had a wonderful stay. The house was beautiful and very spacious it was a close walk to the beach and the sand and water were so pretty. We had everything we needed when we got there. The house is well equipped for a stay.

Everything about our trip was lovely. The house is huge, very nice, and well kept. Two wrap around porches for relaxing up or downstairs was great. The beach in the area was beautiful and low traffic. Excellent place to stay.

We had an amazing vacation at Coastal Blessings! The house was very clean. Every room had comfortable beds and amazing views. We spent most of our time on the deck overlooking the ocean enjoying the view! Beach was quiet and peaceful in this area.
The home was great for our group/family. Being able to walk onto the beach from the steps was just excellent! We found a few minor maintenance needs which weren't a big deal at all. While it's not opulent luxury, it feels like the beach house we thought of for our family. A great stay!
