Mother's Day Beach Weekend!
My 4 sisters and I took our 83 year old mother to the beach for a relaxing weekend! Despite the cloudy weather on the first day, it ended up being a beautiful beach weekend. We laughed and made memories. We loved the house except for the mattresses and didn't pay attention to the twin beds and bunk beds. This didn't work very well for us unfortunately. The house needs some TLC and updating. Its very spacious and great for entertaining. Plenty of linens, and towels but NOT enough toilet paper for 6 adults. The deck boards outside need to be replaced. Huge hazard, especially with elderly people. The sand walk from door to the beach is overgrown, and needs to dug out more or even a wood boardwalk would be helpful. Again, not the best for older folks. We loved the location and we look forward to spending our future Mothers Day in Gulfshores!

Cozy beach house
Crows Nest 2 was absolutely perfect. The house was super clean and everything was just as described. The front deck is amazing. We got up every morning and had breakfast watching the sunrise. The grandkids loved eating lunch on the deck while watching for dolphins. This was the perfect beach house for my family!

Perfect Location
Property meet all of our needs for a quite 3 night family vacation with littles. The location is PERFECT!!!! It was clean and had all the basics (bring you own beach towels and hair dryer) including sand toys for the kids. It could use a little maintenance here and there but over all it was good. The only complaint is that the mattress are horrible!!! Other than that it was great!

It’s was ok
Pros: The house was clean and cute for being a older home. The front covered porch was so nice with a great view. The kitchen was stocked well. The area under the house was nice and very clean. They had beach toys and a few other things left over for kids. Cons: It was right next to a public beach access so it was a littler busier, not a huge deal though. The floors are in bad shape and definitely need some work. The laminate flooring was coming up is several places from the house settling so bad. When we got there the master tv wouldn’t come and it took them 3 days to come out and finally get it working for us. Overall we enjoyed our trip here.

A great spot on the beach
Right on the beach with a shower for washing off all the sand. Definitely worth the expense though it is pricey, but thats normal for a vacation destination. Everything in the house worked great, except for a minor hiccup with one of the stove burners, which I informed the property owner of.

Good location on beachfront-
Front door needs to be replaced as deteriorating with elements n issues closing. Window blinds over seeing gulf waters couldn’t be opened- master bedroom carpet needs cleaning. We did see dolphins from covered deck a few days.
