The photos are exactly what it looks like! The listing for "Stuck in the Sand" described it very well, and the process for renting it went smoothly.
We were a group of four friends, two had never seen the ocean, one had been to Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan many times, and one had been to multiple other beaches. We all said the same thing, the house was clean and cozy yet spaced out enough that we were not on top of each other. With the doors and windows open, there was a fantastic cross breeze. The furniture was comfortable and clean. The bedrooms were spacious. The deck was nice, although the steps seemed a little steep for us, 3 women in their 50's and one in her 40's. It didn't stop us from going down to the beach multiple times a day. The beach is definitely close with this house, once you are off the deck, the water is about 30 seconds away.
Cons and things we would have changed: there were 4 rocking chairs on the screened in porch, which was very nice, but there were only two adirondack chairs on the deck. It would have been nice if 2 more had been available. Not a huge issue, but something we noticed. There was an issue with the dryer not working and we packed wet clothes for the trip home. We contacted the number they provided and maintenence was at the house within an hour. He did get the dryer going, it was simply a breaker issue, but we turned it off since were leaving for dinner, when we returned, it wouldn't start again. I fully believe that maintenence would have came back to the house, had we called but it was our last night there and we decided not to mess with calling them again.
Our only other "complaint" is the provided one roll of toilet paper per bathroom. We found more humor in the situation than an actual complaint, but that's quite possibly the worst toilet paper any of us had ever seen. Luckily we had each brought our own roll from home, so we just laughed about it and went on with our stay.
All 4 of us were incredibly happy with the house, it's location, and the communication with management.
