Coastal Blessings — Guest Reviews

It was wonderful, as it always is.

This rental was perfect for our week long trip. There was so much room for our big family to have privacy, yet still fit in the common areas together. We loved the outdoor deck for afternoon sunsets. It was such a great experience! We will definitely choose to stay here again if/when we come back to the beach for vacation!

Great location and perfect house for extended family.

We had a wonderful stay at Coastal Blessings in Gulf Shores! The house is right on the beach and the location couldn’t have been better. It comfortably fit our group of 6 adults and 6 kids with plenty of beds and bathrooms. Property management was very responsive, and we’d absolutely stay here again!

The beach front location, the views, and the lay out of the home were perfect for our annual sisters trip!!! However the cleanliness of the home needed a lot of improvement & definitely more cleaning. The stove oven was black with burn on food & such. We didn’t even attempt to use it. The stove top and countertops were greasy & dirty. The plates, glasses & silverware in the cupboards had to be all washed before we could use them. They had dried on food & grit on them. Someone had put the ice maker tray incorrectly & water had leaked down & froze the ice maker so it wasn’t working at all. We were able to defrost & at least got the ice maker to make ice. The windows were horribly dirty, could hardly see the beautiful views!! We went Dollar General, got cleaners, rags & washed the windows. What a difference that made!! We understand that being right on the beach with wind, sand, & such, that it would not be easy to keep windows clean. But these windows had been a long time since cleaned. The bathrooms were reasonably clean but all the shower curtains were moldy & mildew. The beds and sheets clean & comfortable. The home really needed some deep cleaning for sure!! We are not “neat freaks”. Over the years, we have stayed in nurmerous VRBO’s and rentals for our annual sisters trip, but this was by far, rated the lowest on cleanliness on any we have stayed in. We were in contact Cheri & she helped us checked before 3:30pm which we greatly appreciate. Also she stopped by to check on us later in the week and we also let her know about the above cleanliness items and said she would past it on as was not here normal rental property. We loved the layout of the home & was perfect for the 5 of us. Loved the deck and the wonderful deck furniture. Location on the beach was fantastic, loved our morning and evening beach walks!!! If the home was cleaned more thoroughly, we definitely would come back!!! Thank you for liste

We visit Fort Morgan every year and have stayed multiple places. This house was the best by far. Excellent beach location, house was clean and everything worked as it should. We loved the 4 King bedrooms with adjoining bathrooms. From booking to checkout was a great experience. We will return!

15 of us rented Coastal Blessings for 4 nights, including 7 kids. We had a blast! The location is the big seller here - steps away from the beach. No one is fighting for a spot on this beach. Several of us enjoyed snorkeling daily, and we saw dolphins, sting rays, turtles, and so many types of fish. Each morning, we enjoyed our coffee on the decks as we watched dolphins play. We really appreciated the super nice deck chairs - not the cheap ones you sometimes find at beach houses. The 5 bedrooms allowed us to spread out, and the teen grandkids especially liked the room with the bunkbeds. We were a little crowded in the kitchen trying to prepare meals, but we made it work. Although we had a few issues (with both the coffee machine and the ice maker), communication was quick and offers were made to remedy the problems. The dishwasher doesn't work great and probably needs to be replaced. The trip to Gulf Shores is about 20-25 minutes depending on traffic, but that didn't bother us at all. In fact, being out of Gulf Shores was a selling point to our family. Overall, it was a great place to stay for our family, and we look forward to returning next year.

We were looking for a place for extended family (including the dog!) to gather for a few days with easy beach access...Coastal Blessings provided what we wanted! We loved that it was a quiet location yet only about 20 minutes from Gulf Shores restaurants

It was wonderful. Great for families

This was our second year staying at Coastal Blessings. It is a great house with plenty of room for our crew of 14. Only a couple of minor areas that need improvement. It was very junky under the house with broken chairs,beachtoys,trash, etc. that had been left by previous guests. The property manager came by to check on us. We informed her and she said she would take care of it. She was very friendly. The only other thing is none of the outside deck lights worked. Some had no bulbs at all. Overall, we love this house and hope to come back and enjoy another vacation here!

This is my first review ever and I kind of hate to post it! It might get booked up before we can re book! :) Our family of 9; 6 adults and 2 teens, an 11 yr old boy & a little doggy, arrived in early July and were immediately in love with this beach house. Some would mention cosmetic issues; but none bothered us enough to mention them!The location & amenities are so perfect; we overlooked all of them. This home was the first we've stayed at in years that was fully stocked with items we needed. I have been taking pans, spatulas, pitchers, etc. Not here. There was multiples of everything; including 3 coffee makers plus a single Kureg! It felt like home. The beach WAS literally steps away. Usually we have SO many wood steps then a nice hike to the beach we are on. Nope, it is right there.Perfection. We had a plumbing issue on Sunday. Before I could call, the office had texted me to see if all was good. I told her about the issue and the handy man was there quick. When that didn't help, a plumber came. All on Sunday and all QUICK, no runaround, no nonsense. Issue reared it's head again on Tuesday and the plumber was right there quick again. Issue fixed! The beds and linens are wonderful; not just your normal white sheets. Nice high count sheets. ♥ Warning; the master upstairs is HIGH! If you are short, bring a stool! ;) The balcony upstairs was my favorite place. 2 high stools and a table; nice breeze. Wonderful. My family loved everything about the house, the beach and the surrounding area. We surely hope to be back again.

We love Coastal Blessing. The layout fits our family. There is plenty of room for all of us. This year I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the place. There was a lot of sand. I know we are at the beach, but the from the first night, we were wiping off our feet to get in the bed. There was even sand in the master closet. I found clothes from previous renters in obvious places, as well as fallen down beside the dryer. The crow's nest is a great feature. It is fun to go up and look out, but there was nothing up there to sit on so you could enjoy it for more than a minute. It got a little chilly while we were staying there but there were no extra blankets. One last thing is that the master bed and mattress creaked as you got in and out, enough so you were waking your partner. The stove was beginning to show its age in that, the right front burner cooked too hot and the back right burner cooked too low. We adjusted and managed. We love the location close to the ferry, the pet friendly beach, and outside deck. We will rent here again.

Everything about our trip was lovely. The house is huge, very nice, and well kept. Two wrap around porches for relaxing up or downstairs was great. The beach in the area was beautiful and low traffic. Excellent place to stay.

The home was exactly as described on the website. Close to waters edge. Great patio furniture and nice deck.

We had a great time staying in Coastal Blessings at Gulf Shores, Alabama it was so nice to have our family all get together on the beach to have fun in the sun! Thank you so much for allowing us to rent this beautiful beach front home! We will definitely be coming back soon!

We had 4 families staying here and the house accommodated us well. Rooms room big, beds were comfy and the best part, steps from the beach. Loved having direct access to the beach. We all enjoyed our stay and looked forward to coming back.

We had 12 people in the house, including 5 kids, and never did we feel cramped! The living/dining area was a bit smaller than it looked like o r he pics, but it was actually never an issue because the deck outside more than made up for it! The deck is what sold me on this particular house and it lived up to its expectations! And the second story deck was also great!

We had an amazing vacation at Coastal Blessings! The house was very clean. Every room had comfortable beds and amazing views. We spent most of our time on the deck overlooking the ocean enjoying the view! Beach was quiet and peaceful in this area.

The house was decorate my very cute and was very close to the ocean. The staff was great, easy to talk to and didn’t make you feel as though you were a bother.
