What a prefect place for our group. Great location with easy beach access! The house was perfect and loved having a pool and outdoor seating area. The host went above and beyond for us! The grill was not working well and they immediately brought a new one to us! I would highly recommend this home to everyone. Communication was superb and the host was there in a flash to answer any questions we had! Perfect! Can’t wait to come back!

The property was perfect for our large group. Walking distance to the beach and several stores. The pool area was perfect for our teens and parents. The kitchen accommodated our large group very well. No complaints with the property or the host at all.

We stayed at the Blue Octopus to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday. The condo was clean, very modern and spacious. We enjoyed the balcony in the morning with coffee. We loved the heated pool. We swam almost everyday we were there. The beds and linens were very comfy. The kitchen well stocked. The host was very accessible and prompt. A storm had rolled through the night before and tripped many breakers throwing out the internet and messed up the pool. The host sent a pool service out immediately to clean the pool and helped with the internet issue. All of this was out of their control due to the weather. Would recommend blinds in addition to curtains in the bedrooms for a little more privacy. Also there was not a wine opener…. We left ours for the next guests. Definitely a 5 star weekend!!

Check-in was easy, house was clean and great location. Pool pump was not working when we got there, so pool was cloudy and dirty our entire stay. They said part had to be ordered, so it never worked. Really wish they would have told us this before we came, but was never contacted. Heater on pool was paid for and never worked either. They told us to use community pool and the heater was broken on it as well. Still waiting on refund for pool heater that I paid for. Beds are extremely uncomfortable.

Our stay was fabulous! Our group size of 14 moved around comfortably, there was ample seating for meals. Plenty of cups, plates, silverware, and towels. We wish that there were more pots, and bigger bowls to accommodate our bigger size group for meals that we cooked. Pool and outdoor area was perfect, and the very short walk to the beach made not staying beachside perfect! Our group took the ferry to Dolphin island, played mini golf, and watched the Blue Angels practice (free event). The Aviation Museum is a totally free event and so worthy of the 40 minute drive. We would definitely stay here again!

The property was wonderful and exactly as listed. We had 24 people; 3 infants, 2 toddlers, 5 kids, 4 teens, 8 parents and 2 grandmas. Despite that, we never felt cramped. The private pool stayed warmer than we would’ve liked, but with the heat in late July there isn’t much you can do. I messaged the property managers and they had someone out within 30 minutes to make sure the heater was not on. The house was very clean upon arrival, which made our stay so much more enjoyable. We would love to stay again some day.

This home was simply amazing. We had a large group of 16 and the home was perfect. The 6 bedrooms were more than enough, we even had extra beds, all bedrooms and bathrooms were spotless, the kitchen is fully equipped with all the necessities, pool side grill was a perk. We were just a short stroll from the beach and a few miles from all the popular locations. The property manager, Emile, was quick to respond via text to any questions. Our kids kept saying "10 out of 10 would recommend". This is by far the best home we rented, do not hesitate to book this home for your next trip.

This was a great place! Everyone had their own room and bathroom, beds were all comfortable. There was a short walk to the beach and although all of the condos were occupied; we never heard any noise. The kitchen was well- equipped and the whole place was extremely clean. Providing a beach wagon, chairs, beach towels and umbrellas was a plus too. Parking under the house was also good. The location was close to restaurants and a grocery. We will definitely be back.

We were in town for a baseball tournament. The house was beautiful and clean. It had everything we needed for a restful stay, all of the things that we need for the beach and all of the things that we needed to cook dinners. Having stayed in a number of VRBO‘s, think the thing I appreciated the most is that we weren’t required to scrub the entire house down and wash everything before we left. Often times, I feel like that leaves us exhausted when we leave. We would definitely come back. Loved the proximity to the beach. Emile was very responsive.

We were in town for a baseball tournament. The house was beautiful and clean. It had everything we needed for a restful stay, all of the things that we need for the beach and all of the things that we needed to cook dinners. Having stayed in a number of VRBO‘s, think the thing I appreciated the most is that we weren’t required to scrub the entire house down and wash everything before we left. Often times, I feel like that leaves us exhausted when we leave. We would definitely come back. Loved the proximity to the beach. Emile was very responsive.

The property was wonderful and exactly as listed. We had 24 people; 3 infants, 2 toddlers, 5 kids, 4 teens, 8 parents and 2 grandmas. Despite that, we never felt cramped. The private pool stayed warmer than we would’ve liked, but with the heat in late July there isn’t much you can do. I messaged the property managers and they had someone out within 30 minutes to make sure the heater was not on. The house was very clean upon arrival, which made our stay so much more enjoyable. We would love to stay again some day.

This home was simply amazing. We had a large group of 16 and the home was perfect. The 6 bedrooms were more than enough, we even had extra beds, all bedrooms and bathrooms were spotless, the kitchen is fully equipped with all the necessities, pool side grill was a perk. We were just a short stroll from the beach and a few miles from all the popular locations. The property manager, Emile, was quick to respond via text to any questions. Our kids kept saying "10 out of 10 would recommend". This is by far the best home we rented, do not hesitate to book this home for your next trip.

Great location and plenty of space for our large group. There was a pool issue during our stay, but they were very responsive in getting it looked at and remedying the situation.

13 people were in the house. The bed situation was perfect for us with 4 king beds. The open concept living room kitchen was great to all be together. Short walk to the beach, having the pool was a huge plus. short car ride to many restaurants and stores. Would definitely stay and recommend this property again.

We visit Gulf Shores every year at the end of the school year over Memorial for a quick break. We chose Southhampton with Mira this year. It looked great per the listing. Every thing was as billed, but was beyond 5 Star! House, pool, beach wagon, umbrellas, chairs, and most importantly breakfast with big family on deck was just right! Quick walk to the beach and short walk to shopping and dining was easily manageable for even our older family members. Emile was beyond prompt for any questions or needs. 100% will be back and stay again.

We had the most wonderful time. This property was perfect to host our extended family and friends. Short distance to the beach and conveniently located to most attractions. The private pool set this place at the top of our most stay lists. Love, love, loved it!!

What a prefect place for our group. Great location with easy beach access! The house was perfect and loved having a pool and outdoor seating area. The host went above and beyond for us! The grill was not working well and they immediately brought a new one to us! I would highly recommend this home to everyone. Communication was superb and the host was there in a flash to answer any questions we had! Perfect! Can’t wait to come back!

House was new and clean. Property manager allowed us to move in early which was nice. Easy checkin and check out process. One block off the beach, which was easy to walk to

This was a great place! Everyone had their own room and bathroom, beds were all comfortable. There was a short walk to the beach and although all of the condos were occupied; we never heard any noise. The kitchen was well- equipped and the whole place was extremely clean. Providing a beach wagon, chairs, beach towels and umbrellas was a plus too. Parking under the house was also good. The location was close to restaurants and a grocery. We will definitely be back.
