Spring Break Getaway

It was a cute little home to vacation to with my family. - (Mar 2024 - VRBO)

Relaxing get away

The communication with Golf-Sands for checking in as well checking out was great. Their responses to any questions or concerns were timely. The place was clean and the listing was accurate. Location was within walking distance to restaurants and had direct access to the beach. Enjoyed the great views of sunrises and sunsets, as well as watching dolphins, pelicans and Herons. We had a wonderful time. - (Mar 2024 - VRBO)

The location is great, on the beach with private beach access. There were some issues with the unit--there is no comfortable place to sit in the living area--the couch and love seat have no support and one sinks down into it, making it hard to get out of. Some of the electrical outlets have no power to them--the one right by the front door, one in the bathroom--had to use the hair dryer using an outlet in the kitchen. Only one outlet in the kitchen that worked, also outlets in the master bathroom upstairs--not all worked. Also the sliding door in the master bedroom isn't sealed properly and when we had a wind/thunderstorm, it whistled loudly all night and we had to sleep downstairs. The outside steps into the unit are steep and there is no landing when trying to put in the code--I recently had hip surgery and this is a bit scary. The kitchen also is not well equipped. 
 
Gulfsands reply: Hi Carmel, if you ever have an issue, please contact us. This is the first we are hearing of issues with the outlets. Sounds like a GFI may need to be reset. New living room furniture is on order and should arrive mid March. The kitchen is fully equipped, please let us know what you'd like to see added. Thanks for staying with us. - (Jan 2024 - VRBO)

Great Thanksgiving 2023

Great duplex steps away from beach and close to restaurants and shops. It was very clean, had lots of amenities, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended! - (Nov 2023 - VRBO)

Fast get away

Absolutely loved it it was furnished nice and no problem with electronics it was spacious and not overcrowded with pieces that wasn't necessary and you could tell it was well taken care and very clean that is a must for me hated leaving but the real world calls I think I would have liked a broom and dustpan hated not being able to sweep up all the sand instead of leaving it for you guys 
 
Gulfsands reply: Thanks for the great review and glad to know you loved Toto!! The broom and dust pan are located in the broom closet (green bedroom). There is also a vacuum. We hope to see you back again soon! - (Sep 2023 - VRBO)

Pleasure

We had a great time. My daughters truly enjoyed the trip, and especially loved being able to walk out the door straight down to the beach. I wouldnt stay any place that wasnt right on the beach. The duplex was very nice. The kitchen utensils are my only complaint. They need to be updated. They are way over used and worn out. - (May 2023 - VRBO)

We have enjoyed our stay so very much!! Thanks so much! Definitely plan to come back in the future.

We have enjoyed our stay so very much!! Thanks so much! Definitely plan to come back in the future. Even with the pipe bursting and loss of water when we arrived, YOU TOOK CARE OF IT SO FAST & on Christmas Eve!! It was greatly appreciated!! Handled very well! The location is the best part! Close to most everything & yet seems far away and right on the beach!! Walk straight out ! If I had to complain about anything .. it would be the dishwasher is horrible. We tried to use it but the dishes came out dirtier than when they went in.. so I spent my Christmas vacation hand washing all the dishes constantly, due to 5 people and cooking daily. Otherwise, The house was very nice! Exactly how pictured! Perfect space for our family of 5! We had one of our BEST Christmas's EVER!! I sent some pictures to show how we turned it into our Christmas Beach House! BTW .. the people who complain about uncomfortable furniture or "needing new barstools".. or pots and pans sticking .. Need to realize they came to the beach and shouldn't be on the couch or barstools long enough to care! Geez. people are ridiculous! Bar stools are fine .. furniture is worn in, but fine! Pots and pans .. used .. but fine! Reading the reviews ahead and instructions from you .. I knew to bring Paper products and trash bags and supplies needed & we were just FINE!! AWESOME!! Thanks again!! We made amazing life-long family memories and that's what we wanted most! - (Dec 2022 - VRBO)

Great Beach Access

This was a very nice duplex with direct beach access. The house itself was clean and comfortable. We did have trouble finding brooms to sweep up sand but the property management team assisted us with that. I feel that a few amenities could have been provided such as trash bags and toilet paper but those can be purchased easily. The pots and pans are in dire need of replacement. We like to make our own meals and found that it was difficult when we are used to using non-stick pans. The last night was rough as the neighbor of the connecting duplex proceeded to slam doors and cause the walls to shake all night long. All in all it was a good place to stay for a week. We would definitely stay there again if we go back to Gulf Shores and I've recommended it to other friends. - (Nov 2022 - VRBO)

Kentucky Beach lovers

This duplex was very nice and had everything we needed. Just steps to the ocean and close to everything in town. The bar stools were is perfect condition and the beds were comfortable. I would recommend this to any group of 6 or less. - (Oct 2022 - VRBO)

Great stay at toto

Check in was simple. Read the directions carefully. Place was.clean and everything needed was there. Walk out the back door and the beach is right behind it. The house is situated perfectly. The beach was never crowded compared to the high rise condos and public beach entrances areas. Will stay definitely stay there again. - (Jul 2020 - VRBO)

Needs attention

Place is in a great location and has great access to the beach! Unfortunately it needs to be updated throughout. Had no cleaning products, had to go get trash bags and toilet paper. Booked for a week and feel basic necessities should have been provided. If you want an affordable place with great beach access this is your place. If you want a place with nice decor and some basic supplies I would look elsewhere. - (Jul 2020 - VRBO)

Lovely

This property is great for a family. We loved the location. It's close to town but far enough away from the condos so you get your own spot in the beach. We loved having a beach for our backyard for a week! The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. Wish we could go back now! - (Jun 2020 - VRBO)

Perfect location

This beach house was the perfect location for our family Thanksgiving getaway. We could not have asked for a better location.... literally out the back door and on the beach! So thankful for the outdoor showers. Only complaint ( not really a complaint - probably just a user era) was we could not get some of the channels in HD as we were watching football games. All in all ... I highly recommend this house and we will return! - (Dec 2019 - VRBO)
