Benny K., Higginsville, MO United States
Weekend Getaway/Anniversary Weekend
Candice S., PACE, FL United States
The place was just as the pictures showed. Very relaxing weekend and beautiful views. We did experience some sporadic thunderstorms but we made the best of it. The property managers, who live nearby, were very interactive with us during our stay and very friendly. They even provided updates on weather coming our way. For coffee they do provide a drip coffee maker and a Keurig in the pantry but bring your own pods. There is also a little coffee shop very close named Selah's that offers coffee, smoothies, bagels and more. There are several Restaurants in the area: Sassy Bass Amazin grill is very close to this property. If going into Gulf Shores try Mikee's Seafood and for a sweet treat try Matts Ice Cream in Gulf Shores. The best location to see the sunset is Tacky Jacks, if not eating there you can still watch the sunset from the marina dock or the back of Tacky Jacks. We would definitely stay again, hopefully during a time when the weather was better and we could enjoy the beach a little more.
Manager's Response
We appreciate your great feedback Candice! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your visit and all the area has to offer. Thanks so much for staying with us and we look forward to welcoming you back for a fuure stay!

On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, I would give this property 1 star.
Recent Guest, Knoxville , TN United States
Upon arrival, the house temp. was warm. I attempted to lower the temp and was unsuccessful. Contacted the property mngr, suggested the temp. control box was locked, she disagreed only to find out the temp. was locked and is remotely controlled by the owner. The door opening onto deck did not lock from the outside, so we had to exit and enter from the front of house, which was an inconvenience. One of the two upstairs shower heads did not work. Linens, throw pillows, ottoman and furniture cushions were dirty, and stained. Pet friendly should not equal dirty especially when paying more than $3,200 for 4 nights. There is evidence of two leaks in the celling- over MBR bed and hallway. The ceiling over the MBR bed is still untouched, with peeling paint and a stain. Lastly, I left behind a pair of earrings. For $25.00 plus postage the earrings were returned to me in a manila envelope, wrapped in a paper towel and inside of a Ziplock bag. I did report our dissatisfaction with the condition of the house to the property mngr., on our last day. Of course I received the necessary, "if you would have told me, we could have made repairs", to which I replied, the house should have been in proper condition for the incoming renter and those issues should have been addressed without the renter having to report such blatant areas of need. Not to mention that during a 5 day stay, who wants service people in and out of a house that again, caters to renters. I would NEVER recommend this property to anyone. There is a very nice property next to this house, beautiful, clean, prepared, etc... our friends truly enjoyed the house, and we will look at it for next year. Huge disappointment to spend a family holiday in such an expensive property, presented as though the property was equal to the price, only to find out it wasn't.
Manager's Response
Christine, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent stay. Of course we never like to hear that a guest isn’t completely satisfied with their stay. It is our policy to charge a $25 convenience fee when the property manager has to locate personal items left behind, package them up and then make the round trip drive into town. Our policy is outlined in our guest license agreement and we feel the cost is reasonable. We will let the property manager know that you received your earrings. Generally speaking, we will not cancel a booking to schedule repairs for something like water damage to a ceiling as long as there is no existing leak. Especially over a holiday when there are limited options for a replacement property. We do inspect all homes prior to arrival but we wouldn’t know that a shower head wasn’t working unless it was reported. You don’t say what the temperature was but we do ask that guests not set the AC below 72 degrees to prevent maintenance issues and for the AC to perform at its optimum efficiency. We hope you were able to enjoy the great beachfront location and the amazing views!

Short stay before the holiday's
Andrea F., Sherwood, AR United States
The house is perfect and access to the beach right off the back steps. Nice area below to clean fish, grill and park. We would rent from here again. The property manager was a doll and even came to check on us.

Thanks for staying with us Andrea! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your visit and we hope to host you again in the future!

Beach front property
Robbie W., Germantown, TN US
Overall, our trip was great. My family and I love the area, so we’ll definitely be back for our 6th trip soon.
Quick rundown on what I liked about the place.
- Beach front property is gorgeous weather it’s day or night.
- Nice deck with a great screened porch for outside dinners.
- Had plenty of beach items to use (toys, umbrellas, chairs, etc.). We did take our own, which we locked in the same beach storage with all the other items.
- Outdoor shower - I’ll always rent a place with this feature. It’s great.
- The master bedroom has a door that opens to the porch, so it’s great for late night wave sounds.
- Kitchen seemed to have all we needed.
- My kids loved the extra little small deck upstairs.
- Very clean and the couch was roomy was late night Halloween movies.
There is only one small con, which only bothered me a couple days.
- The house is right next to a beach access for all the house behind you.
During busy times of the year, I assume you can expect some close company on the beach. Just get out early to stake your place for the day... most people do not setup in front of the house.... We had a few folks pretty close for a few days. I’m normally accustomed to no access near the house, so it was a small change for me. If you’re a very social person or want kids around for your own little ones, the place will be great for you. If you want a little more privacy, the company that manages this home has others down the way. I stayed in one last year and loved it.
Again, not a deal breaker. I’d still recommend the property.
Manager's Response
We appreciate your feedback Robbie. We are very pleased to hear how much you enjoyed Alabama Dreamin and all the home has to offer. It was pleasure hosting you again! Thanks for staying with us and we hope to welcome you back again soon.

Clean and Cozy Home on he beach
Devon H., Tallahassee, FL US
The unit was very nice and mostly clean and had a beautiful view of the beach. The screened in porch was perfect for avoiding bugs at dusk. The water is very close to the unit so its only a minute or two walk to get to the water. Kitchen had plenty of utensils for cooking, although many things were dirty and required a good wash before using them. Beds and couch were comfortable as well. The only downsides were that this unit is right next to the beach access for others further inland, so we were having to compete for space in front of the house. Food options nearby are scarce and requires a 20+ minute drive into town.
Manager's Response
We appreciate your feedback Devon. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your visit and all Alabama Dreamin has to offer. We would have been more than happy to recommend some local restaurants, there are some good ones in tha area! Thanks for staying with us and we hope to welcome you back for a future stay.

Very Cute
Recent Guest, Westerville, OH Unknown
Experience was very good but we wanted to give a heads up that the upstairs tub/shower drains were running very slow.
Manager's Response
Thanks for staying with us Jane! We appreciate your feedback. We will make sure those drains are cleared! We would have been happy to send someone out to take care of that for you. It's great to hear you enjoyed your visit and we hope to welcome you back for a future stay.

End of Summer Trip 2024
Recent Guest, San Antonio, TX Unknown
Beautiful beach front home with direct access. Great room under the house with everything you need for a great day at the beach!
Only downside to this location is that public beach access is both sides of home and no one enforces breaking down of beach setups at night. Even the Fort Morgan rental company setup 3 tents directly in front of the home.
Manager's Response
Thanks so much for taking the time to submit feedback on your recent stay and we are delighted to hear that you loved both the home and the location. We wish you had reached out. We might not have been successful but would have attempted to reach out to the tent company. Generally speaking, beach goers are very respectful and try not to infringe on others’ space but sadly it isn’t always the case. Thanks for staying with us and we’d welcome you back for a future stay.

Recent Guest, RANBURNE, AL United States
Beautifully decorated house and very spacious. Only footsteps to the beach. Loved the screened in porch! The only negative would be the crowds on the beach the first part of the week.

Recent Guest, Crothersville, IN United States
Great location and a beautiful house. We had plenty of space inside and out. The outside shower was awesome to clean the sand and salt water off after a day on the beach. I think this is the 2nd time renting from Coastal View and had a great experience both times.

Excellent rental and great property management!
Amber A., Lees Summit, MO US
This was an amazing house that we had our family vacation on this year with both of our moms, uncle and kids. There were tons of seats and things to use in the downstairs storage and we also left a couple of umbrellas. The only thing I would suggest is maybe putting a sign up on that second Landing of the deck facing the beach designating that area as privately owned with the house rental. We would go down very early in the morning and set up all of our chairs to mark our spot otherwise people going down that walkway on the side would set up camp directly in front of the house. There was only one incident when a very large group of a family with a big tent went down and tried to set up just a couple of feet directly in front of our chairs and I went down and addressed it with him and they moved over although they work not very nice about it. I contacted the property management company prior to saying anything and they said they would be willing to go talk to them if we needed to. The property management company was always very responsive and wonderful. The afternoon of the last day we did have a new family we had not seen that parked in our driveway even though there were private property signs of and walked through our deck and use our walkway instead of the public one. We told them it was no big deal as we were leaving the next day but showed them where the public walkway was and they were very kind about it and appreciative. That wonderful deck and screened in porch area alone as well worth renting this property!
Manager's Response
Thanks for staying with us Amber. We appreciate your feedback. We have addressed the signage issue and believe it will help alleviate future issues with beach goers. We are thrilled to hear you had an amazing vacation and it sounds like the home was a perfect fit for your family! We hope you will be planning a return trip in the future!

My Family Vacation 2024
Sandy W., Glasgow, KY United States
We loved everything! The house was perfect for my family. We loved the perfect access to the beach. The travel back to Gulf Shores for dinner each night was not a problem. The kids played games. The chairs and beach toys were greatly appreciated. We had nothing but good things to say! We are already talking about coming back next year!! ♥️

Thanks for the kind words and feedback Sandy. It's great to hear how much your enjoyed your visit and everything Alabama Dreamin has to offer. We'd welcome you back anytime.

A Dream Come True!
Recent Guest, Homewood, AL United States
Coastal View Vacations made the rental process, payments and communication an excellent experience. The local property manager, Dee Dee, was incredibly helpful, friendly, and prompt in answering any questions we had. Having a local property manager who lives in the community where our rental was located made the entire process so much easier. The rental house had everything you needed. It was organized, clean and very cozy but had plenty of room for our family of 6 to spread out.
We cannot recommend Coastal View Vacations enough. What a great experience! We will definitely use them again.
Manager's Response
Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback Edward! We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the home and your experience with our team! Thanks for staying with us and we look forward to hosting you again in the future.

Just what we were looking for!
Recent Guest, Murfreesboro, TN US
Property description was accurate and even surpassed our expectations. Property was clean and well maintained. The management company was excellent and very easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend this property. This was a trip of 5 high school senior girls and 3 moms. It was just right and the beach/access was just what we wanted. The location is quiet and about 20 min from shopping and restaurants. We hope to go back!

We appreciate your kind words and feedback Beth! We are delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your visit and we hope you host you again in the future.

Perfect!
Kyle U., Cleveland, TN US
This was our best house rental yet in many years of vacationing oil Gulf Shores. The house is actually better than the pictures. Will definitely stay here again next year. Suggestion for improvement would be to wash the bed spreads, especially if dogs had stayed before.

Great Place, Awesome Location
Steven R., Troy, TX United States
This home was absolutely perfect for our stay. The bedroom configuration was perfect for two couples and two adult extended family members. The house was spotless clean, the kitchen was the best stocked kitchen we've stayed at in a long time. It has every detail for meal prep, serving, and cleaning up. Steps from the beach, the location could not have been any better. Easy to find when arriving, check in was flawless, and the house was perfect for relaxing, reading on the huge couch, or watching TV.
Manager's Response
Thanks Steven! We couldn't be happier to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and we hope to see you again soon.

We loved Alabama Dreamin, a great location, the deck and screened porch was very enjoyable. Greg our Host was FANTASTIC! He was quick to respond to all questions and needs. The property had no rubber hose: He delivered a rubber hose. The property had no BBQ grill: He bought us a BBQ grill, charcoal, lighter fluid and matches. The washing machine was not working: He allowed us to use another property's washing machine the same day we informed him of the problem. Greg also delivered a pair of Binoculars after my husband informed him, we forgot ours. On the downside, the L-shaped couch needs replaced, desperately! The ottoman and barstool seats need cleaning or replaced. The King bed upstairs not very comfortable. Kitchen needs new blender. Greg really took good care of us!
Manager's Response
We appreciate your feedback Benny! We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your visit. We think Greag is great as well! The stools and ottoman are already scheduled for routine cleaning. Thanks so much for staying with us and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
