We vacation to this area every year and have fallen in love with the Gasque area for the quiet laid back vibe. This house is older and in need of some repair as most rentals do, but the host was responsive and thoughtful and on top of any issue that we had. The house is large and plenty of room to spread out. The sandy area could use some work to make it better to play in. We loved fishing every day and the quiet setting. We were able to use the pool a couple times as well. Noce to cool off after a hot October day. We would return.
My favorite house or cabin rental so far. Loved the house, the view was amazing & the neighborhood was quiet and nice. Canât wait to visit again next year.
This was our 3rd time staying here for vacation. We love the location of this house and the swimming pool. The house is very spacious, however it could definitely use some updating and fixing up.. We ran into a couple of issues during our stay and the host was very responsive and had the issues addressed promptly. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and made lots of memories. It went by way too fast!
Loved the location, saw many dolphins, caught lots of different size fish ,pool was resfreshing Kids loved it Thank you for letting us enjoy our time here
We loved our stay here. My husband and I brought our adult daughter and her husband for a quick fall get away. We had a great time at this property. I would describe it a classic beach house style with the perks of a dock. The dock was awesome. We caught crabs in the traps that were there and a variety of fish. They have a variety of yard games and a very nice and clean above ground pool, as well. I personally loved their put put golf holes(3). And we all enjoyed the Ladder Toss game. The only negative is some maintenance was needed on the back porch balcony. But it did look like they were beginning to start replace some boards already. It was conveniently close to gulf shores at about 12 min drive. But also close to our favorite eat joint, Tacky Jacks 2 in Fort Morgan at about 13 minute drive. There was also a dollar general 2 minutes west or 4 minutes east. The neighborhood was quiet and everyone was very friendly. Such a hidden gem!
We have stayed here for the 4th time and every time it was great. We say lots of dolphins this year! Great for a family because there is plenty of room for everyone. The house stayed cool and comfortable. The owners were available for any questions or concerns. I recommend this house because it is awesome, quite and private. The neighbors are very nice also.
The location was secluded and quiet. The site to the bay was outstanding. The property had its own dock, which my spouse and son enjoyed thoroughly. When I needed to get a hold of the host he got back to me very promptly.
However, the property is in need of some updating. The flooring and paint could use updating. None of the television had the same channels, the television in the basement did not have access to cable or streaming, the television in the main living room we had to use our own streaming to watch, but the primary bedroom upstairs did have cable. The refrigerator had a horrible fish smell, which was probably from prior guest.
With all of that said, the memories made are priceless and my family and I would stay again.

Can't swim. You can only swim in the pool that was never cleaned the whole week we were there. Even though it states pool will be clean twice a week. The porch is falling in my kid almost fell through it. The floor down stairs will pench your feet. Fishing was pretty go
The location is pretty private and very peaceful. The house really needs tlc and some updating and basic maintenance. I was very disappointed that there is not any beach access. You have to leave the property to swim in the bay or gulf.The pool was great! I would not have stayed the entire week if not for the pool. If you are wanting just fishing, then its a great place.
We loved it here! The house was the perfect size for our big family. They had everything we needed for cooking other than the food. The house was comfortable and quite. The dock was excellent we got to see dolphins. My husband fished the whole time and caught a shark and sting ray. The yard was ok had thorns in the yard and back was half cut off due to maintenance. The porch does need some work but with shoes on no problems. The pool was a great help with the heat and had shade in the afternoon for the ones that didnt like the sun. All in all great place to stay. The bad part was the wifi didnt seem to work and the tvs were hard to change. I would come again soon
Disappointed that the description of the property does not tell you that the kitchen and dining area is upstairs. We had a member of our party that could not access the upstairs due to physical limitations walking upstairs, so we had to cook everything upstairs and try and eat downstairs, the only place to eat in a group downstairs was outside in the heat. The house itself the air conditioning is next to nonexistent, posted signs underneath thermostats state do not set below 74 degrees or it will freeze up, it stays hot all the time. Every television worked off a different remote and all could not even access the basic cable they had, some upstairs were not even connected. Renter beware all is not as described in the description of the property
I and my family had a great time and my children enjoyed the pool. This house has everything you need to have a good time. We are very happy and we hope to return here soon. Thank you
This was an amazing family vacation! Our first time to the beach and this was a beautiful location. Our family enjoyed the scenery and the pier was breathtaking. We loved fishing on the dock & seen baby crabs. We will definitely be coming back.
plenty of room, since we had a 18month, neighbors caution us with him outside, did see lsrge snake
plenty of room, since we had a 18month, neighbors caution us with him outside, did see large snake , he left us along and we did the same
cooler than expected, this was mother nature and nothing could be done in that case.
Not much good to say about this place other than peaceful and beautiful scenery!
The bad is quite a long list..
House is very dated, needs a complete renovation. Second day of stay, house filled with sewer gas then downstairs bathroom clogged and flooded the basement floor. ALL NEW PLUMBING IS NEEDED!! Sewer clean out was outside on the back deck and had toilet paper floating on deck..
Dirty bedding, bedding looked dingy including pillows on couch. Womens underwear found in dresser. (Ew)
Cracked flooring would pinch your feet. Doors didn't shut right. Smoke detector hanging out of ceiling buy wires and two plug in boxes hanging out of wall.
Out side maintenance is really poor. There are weeds and thorns everywhere. The deck is in need of repair. Nails sticking up everywhere and some boards are rotting and weathered.
Junk sitting around the house, old bathtub, hoses and barrels.
There is no hand railing on peir, so can be dangerous to walk on.
House was not represented properly as seen in pictures!!
Will not stay again!
This house is awesome! We saw 5 dolphins out back one morning and 2 dolphins the next morning. The day we saw 5 dolphins they were right next to the pier! It was awesome.
There is plenty of room in this house. Two bedrooms downstairs and 1 bedroom upstairs with another room that can be used as a bedroom! There is an ice maker, 2 refrigerators (1 upstairs, 1 downstairs), every pot and pan you can think of, a nice living room and 2 screened in decks (1 upstairs, 1 downstairs). The neighbors are super nice.
We have stayed here 3 times now. In every review I state that this property needs some TLC. I don't consider it filthy by any means but the corners of the rooms need to be cleaned out and the floors scrubbed. The door knob areas needs to be wiped down and if it is stained...just slap some paint on it so it will look clean. The nails on the deck need to be hammered in. Some were sticking up 1/4 inch! Light bulbs need to be replaced. The mattress in the room we stayed in needs to be replaced (downstairs back room). The toilet downstairs would not flush so we took the back off the toilet and manually flushed it. The problem is that the handle is plastic and it is not strong enough to make the flush. We cleaned out the drain in the shower upstairs. Need to run something down the drain to clear it out further.
Like I said, this place is awesome. Just do some maintenance and it will be perfect!!!! I hope our group will choose to stay here again next year.
My family and I spent four nights at this large home in Gulf Shores/Fort Morgan area. It is very quiet, perfect for relaxing and fishing. The pier is a great size and we caught many fish, including a shark. The view is amazing especially at sun rise and sun set. The home is somewhat dated but that was not important to us. My family of 11 had adequate room and made great memories that will last a lifetime. The very large pool is also a nice place to relax. We would travel here again.
