The property was as expected. Our only problem was the height of the bed. This is the only property we have rented that required a step stool to get in. That in itself is bad enough now try that in the dark with arthritis in your joints and you have a good chance for a fall. The rest of the property was okay, the bathroom is very small and has a small step in tub. Not a deal breaker but not very useable except for a shower.

The room was fine overall. Basic room, kitchen, bathroom. My only complaint would be the height of the bed. I am 5ft 2 inches & had to climb up into the bed. The bed slept fine, but once you get in it's a struggle to get out. I would not stay here again because of the super high bed. If I were older this would most definitely be a safety hazard.

This rental is adequate beach lodging. It’s very small, as in smaller than an average hotel room. It could use some minor maintenance, like fixing the loose tub faucet. The furniture, bed in particular, could stand an upgrade.
The location is great. We parked the car when we arrived and didn’t need it until we checked out. The parking is covered, so your car doesn’t blister in the sun all day. It is across the street from the beach, but the walk there is very short. The Dollar General on the next block has all your supply needs. A week is not long enough to try all the good restaurants within walking distance.
If you want fancy, try one of the high rise properties on the beach side of the street. If a convenient crash pad suits you, try this rental unit.

The room was nice and comfortable with a convenient location. The bed was very tall we had to buy a step stool to get in but it was comfortable and we slept well.

Very cozy and so close to everything! Would stay here again! Everything you need in a one bedroom for a quick weekend getaway.

The building has a rundown look. The tiny refrigerator doesn't work well and drools water onto the floor, toilet keeps running with nearly every flush, the front stairs have irregular tread heights from one to another making ascending and descending a bit tricky. Also, some of the steps have an uneven tread surface also making their use tricky. It is a dangerous situation for those that are unaware or anyone who is a bit of a fall risk. Love the location as it right across the street from the Pink Pony Pub which was next door to the Gulf Shores Motel we stayed at when I was a "tweenager" in the 60's and 70's.

Great Location, convenient to shops and restaurants, beach access is right across the road. The Hang out is a block away. Room was clean and provided a nice stay.

Unit could not be closer to the places I visit. The room was great and well stocked. The unit was also very clean and the bed slept comfortably. I would recommend if your looking to be close to the beach!!!

Knowing that this is a "non-view, non-balcony" property directly across from The Hangout and GS Public Beach it was exactly what I expected as far as location. The common areas were in good shape (laundry, elevator, etc) and parking was good. The unit had a couple maintenance issues when I arrived but Gulf Shores Rentals fixed the issues immediately the following day and explained that I was their 1st tenant as managers for this particular property. The unit was very clean, stocked well with kitchen ware, and just as represented in the photos. The tub/shower were excellent. I would highly recommend this unit if you are looking for reasonably priced accommodations with an exceptional location and are ok with no balcony or view.
