A short stay rental that felt like home away from home. The home was perfectly situated and convenient to all of the activities Orange Beach had to offer. We even made friends with our neighbors which spoke to the neighborhood feel of the community. A must stay if you’re looking for a home that treats you like you belong on your vacation getaway.

Beautiful property!
This house was great for multiple families! Very clean and spacious and very short walk to the beach! We came down for a cheer competition and didn’t get to spend much time at the beach but the few moments we did, it was nice being close. We would definitely stay here again!

My Review
Overall property was as represented online. Property was clean and well maintained. Liked having a separate bathroom for each bedroom. Location is good with easy access to the beach. Beach items (chairs, kids toys and etc) are a plus.Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider this location again in our future travels.

Enjoyed the stay!
The property was perfect for a quick family beach “ attitude adjustment “. Spacious and tastefully decorated, our group of 7 had everything we needed for a couple of days of relaxation. The beds we’re comfortable, Wi-Fi worked great and everyone with their own bathroom was an added bonus. A short 10 minute walk to the beach. We would definitely book again.

The house was very spacious and accommodated 7 adults comfortably. It was walking distance to the beach, and the house provided a wagon, cooler and beach chairs which we used daily. Loved all the patios to hang out on in the evenings and the corn hole in the garage area. The community pool was also great to use after the day at the beach. The host was very attentive to any questions we had and addressed everything in a timely manner. If driving, I would recommend bringing extra items for the kitchen as it was not stocked with any paper goods except 1 roll of paper towels. We had to purchase all seasonings, cooking spray, paper plates, foil, Ziplock bags, garbage bags and more dishwash detergent. We stayed for 5 nights and cooked most meals at the house, so we needed additional items. I would also bring extra baking pans as there was only 1 pan in the kitchen which made it very inefficient as we needed to cook things at the same time but couldn't. We used the propane grill often which was an added perk!

Great house - perfect for families!
A friend and I took our children (ages 2, 4, 8, 11) to the beach and stayed at this awesome beach house. It was decorated beautifully and so homey! It worked perfect for all of the kids, regardless of age. A great house in a great central location, within close walking distance to the beach. Host was extremely responsive and accommodating. Would stay here again!

Great family vacation at this VRBO
We really enjoyed our family stay and vacation at this VRBO. The house was very clean, convenient to the beach, lagoon and a strip shopping center with store and restaurants. Plenty of beach accessories are at the unit including a wagon, cooler and umbrellas. There were even 2 stand up paddle boards for the lagoon! The owner was helpful and very responsive to any questions during our stay. We look forward to coming back again and enjoy another relaxing week at Gulf Shores in the future.

Kristi is an amazing host-super quick at reaponding to any questions. The home is beautiful and in a great location. Each couple in our family had their own bedroom and en suite bath. The bunk room was perfect for the kids and also had an ensuite bath. There were games and also some great puzzles that were thorougly enjoyed. It's a convenient walk to the beach-love the wagon to cart all the fun beach things and also walking distance to The Beach House restaurant, ice cream shop, seafood shop, and mini mart. Highly recommend-you wont be disappointed!

2 summer to stay!
We absolutely fell in love with our first stay here last summer and now to come back and stay again truly made a place in our core memory bank. Our children always have enough room to run around as well as the comfortable environment to nap on their schedule. We love that the home is always so clean, accommodates our family meal time and the community pool below helps keep the kiddos busy after a Long Beach day when they aren’t ready to come in just yet.
Fantastic property and great management. Count on us to continue to return each year!

Perfect Place to stay in Gulf Shores
Playa Paradise Retreat is top-notch. The home is very clean, well appointed, beautifully decorated, comfortable, and in the perfect location. It is a very short walk to the beach. There are Lifeguards on duty close by the access point to the beach, which was great! The pool was a great bonus to relax in. The games were awesome for the kids, and the home is very kid-friendly. It is located close by a lot of good places to eat, the West Beach Coffee House is a must! The Dizzy Turtle Latte was a perfect start to a perfect stay! Kristi is very easy to communicate with and responded very quickly to our questions. Will definitely stay there again!

Gulf Shores
Let me summarize our stay with two main points. First, our contact person and I think the owner of the property was simply outstanding. I had a couple of questions before we arrived and she responded to me immediately. We never had any problems with the home so there was no reason to contact her during our stay. Second, the property was was exactly as it was presented online. It was clean, spacious, and everything we needed during our stay was there. A great experience. Good people, great location, fantastic property.

Great rental. Only two minor suggestions. Beds were awefully firm, maybe toppers to soften bed. AC makes you lower temp from 85 every 6 hours or so. Thank you.

Great Location!
Property was very clean and comfortable! Starter toiletries and kitchen items, so will need to buy what you need after that. Host quickly responded to all of our questions. Beach items were very convenient so we didn’t need to bring much ourselves! 5 min walk to the beach. Popular public beach, so get there early if you want a close spot. 4 legged tents/canopies have to go at the back of beach area. Paddle boards were fun to take out on the lagoon- they are a bit heavy, 2 adults could carry to the put in location about 5 minute walk, but we ended up driving them down.

Great Beach vacation house stocked with lots of beach stuff!!!!
Such a great house and lots of attention to detail. An easy walk to the beach, a small convenience store, the lagoon, and a great restaurant! The rooms were perfect - large comfy king sized beds with separate bathrooms plus one room with bunkbeds; multiple outside deck areas include ones off some of the bedrooms. The living room was large with more seating than we needed for our 6 adults. The dining table had seating for 8 and was perfect for eating and playing games. Kitchen was fully stocked with appliances, plates, etc and they included plenty of bathtowels for a week! Loved all the things for the beach -- the wagon, the net, the chairs, the umbrellas. My guys used the paddleboards on the lagoon and had fun. Thank you so much for hosting us! Hope we can come back next year!

Slow Mocean was clean and new!
My husband and I stayed here with our 5 year old and one year old, my parents, and my grandmother. It was a great fit for us! The house is very clean and modern. Every room had a bathroom and nice tv. Kitchen was nice and open. Because of having small children and my grandmother with us we drove to the beach very easily and parked at public beach access which is right around the corner from the condo. Would’ve been an easy walk if we didn’t have kids. The beach closet is very nice to utilize. They had beach chairs, toys, wagon, paddle boards, umbrellas, boogie boards, etc. We didn’t use the paddle boards but was nice to have available if you wanted to use them. You are also right around the corner from waves convenient store, ice cream, and beach house restaurants. Could’ve easily walked to any of those. My son really enjoyed the arcade in the bunk room. We easily put a pack n play up for our 1 year old. It could’ve easily fit in any of the rooms. Very nice overall!!

Super Stay at Slow Mocean
Our family loved staying at this property. It is beautifully decorated which made everyone feel at home. A nice feature was that each couple had their own bathroom. Additionally, the availability of the beach chairs, umbrella, and wagon were an extra bonus. Thus was the perfect place for our stay at Gulf Shores! I highly recommend this home away from home!!
