  a guest from Little Rock, AR recommends this vacation rental

  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.

  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.

  a guest from Metairie , LA recommends this vacation rental

  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.

  Steve R from Burleson, TX recommends this vacation rental

  Gulf Shores Rentals do a great job of communication and are extremely friendly if you have to talk to someone. This property is directly across from the beach and The Hangout - no view to speak of but if location and value are high on your list this is it. The property is very quiet, has plenty of parking, an elevator and laundry room. The bed here IS quite high, not an issue unless you can't climb in! Everything in the unit works well. This is my 2nd year to stay in this unit.

  Gennie S from Dallas, GA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The location of this place does not outweigh the negatives. First, there is no elevator, so be prepared to carry your luggage up 20+ stairs just to the first level. When we entered the room, we were overwhelmed by a mildewy smell coming from the ac. The door open right against the bed, which is over 4 feet tall btw- good luck getting in. The bathroom sink is outside of the tiny, dilapidated bathroom and is only about 2.5 feet tall. The mini fridge did not cool very well, the side of the stove had rust, and it looked as if there was either rust or mildew on the two chairs at the little table. My husband and I ended up paying more money to stay elsewhere the last two nights. You can spend the same amount for a nicer place in Ft. Morgan, or even outside the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach immediate area because there is plenty of public access to the beaches.

    Beachview does have elevators (located in the southwest corner of the building) so we are not sure why this guest chose to utilize the stairs. The bed is a brand new, luxury bed and it is a taller style. Beachview is definitely an economical option for those wanting to stay as close to the beach as possible without the higher price tag of a gulf front condo. We love the location of this unit. -Gulf Shores Rentals

  Steve R from Burleson, TX recommends this vacation rental

  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.

    Thank you for our first review in that unit, Steve! It sounds like everything was great for your visit and we are excited to see how many others get to enjoy our new unit. We look forward to hosting you again! -Gulf Shores Rentals
