Lookin at the Beach

The house is roomy! There were enough towels for everyone! Loved that we could wash our clothes! The smoke detectors were chirping upon arrival. I bought a battery for the hallway one but disconnected the rest. I found a dirty diaper upstairs in the trash can but overall it was a nice place!! I love this place!

Looking at the Beach was a gorgeous beach home with an incredible view. It had everything we needed and more. Heat and a/c worked great as we needed both! Beautiful kitchen and bathrooms! 6 of us were on a week long golf trip and left 100% satisfied.

We had a wonderful time staying at Lookin at the Beach vacation home. It was in a perfect location. The bedrooms were so spacious and had enough great beds and room to fit a large group. We enjoyed sitting on the deck with a breathtaking view of the ocean. I recommend this home and would love to stay there again.

The house was great for first impressions. Loved the double deck. As it allowed people to enjoy the bottom deck in the shad an the ones that wanted to tan could go upstairs.

If I were to Express the negatives it would be the hole in the wall cause of the door, sticking sliding doors, and the upstairs shower that needs maintenance attention.

Overall great stay

If you want the cleanliness and up-to-date features of one of the condo complexes, this is not your place. If, to be right on the beach at a decent price, you can live with a little older home with a few warts, this is a nice place.

There were some small problems with the house - for example, switches that were a little cantankerous, not enough forks and dishtowels, an ice maker that leaked in the back, a mattress or two that was not the greatest, a stove eye that didn't work, no iron (that we could find), a missing light bulb here and there, and some older appliances. My advice is to check everything out right when you get there, report any issues right away, then chill on one of the fantastic decks.

Gulf shores is beautiful.. the house nice an the property manager was great.. highly recommend this vacation home.

First impression was not good at all. Booking agent said they have renovated the house and it will not look like the pictures online. Sorry to say the only thing they may have ungraded was the countertop. Plumbing in the master made a god aweful sound while taking a shower. Carpet was extremely worn and stained...bathrooms clean as much as possilbe...1980's wallpaper peeling....but the worse thing was our bedroom upstairs. We had to enter through another bedroom to get to our bedroom. Not a good layout at all. We had three families totaling 12 people. The house had plenty of room for us, just a pour design upstairs...enough of the bad....will give you the good now. We had a great vacation. Our group overlooked the outdated house with the beautiful view. Breathtaking view off the very large deck was awesome every morning and evening. The deck upstair the girls like to lay out and sunbathe a view times late in the day. Several of the decks beside us were much smaller and would not have worked with our group. We grilled out every night for a large group. Had more friends rent a house just a few doors down. All and all great vacation...

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone!! LOVED it!!

Manager's Response

This place was perfect for our stay - it had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Only steps from the water and away from the worst of the crowds. The app made check-in, our stay and check-out so easy! Highly recommend this place - thank you so much!

Had a lot of fun on the beach.The house needs a lot of work. Had a problem with ants for first few days but they were fast at taking care of the problem.

Manager's Response

Nice house, needs a few updates.. A dry covered patio would be nice to sit under while it rains

We enjoyed our stay at Lookin at the beach beach house. It was plenty of space for us 11. The house was clean neat and fully equipped to handle us all week. The beach is just outside the sliding glass doors. We will def be back. Thanks Relax on the Beach for a trouble worry free week :)

We had a great time! House was not to far from all the attractions but far enough where are beach was not over crowded! Will definitely book again!

The local is great - porch great! However, new, more comfortable furniture is desperately needed! The sofa & chairs are terribly uncomfortable we could hardly sit on the furniture it was so soft. The bathroom downstairs needs a redo i.e. The bathtub & sink - new shower head in master bathroom.

The property was right on the beach which was great. The only problem we had was with the stove there was 2 burners out but was fixed with in an hour of me calling about the problem. All in all it was a great time.

We had a great experience.

Although we initially had some problems with this rental, the management and staff were fantastic and immediately corrected the problems. Would definately rent from Relax on the Beach again Quality management company!

We have stayed in this house several times. Love the huge, covered porch that truly gives you a Lookin At The Beach experience. It was what sold us on the house. The furniture in the living room i.e. the sofa and chairs are long past their replacement days...these were so soft that it was very uncomfortable to sit and watch TV at night or football on Saturday. Definitely need to replace them.

The house is right on the beach and the rental company was great to work with. All the necessities worked (appliances, plumbing). However, the dryer does not shut off when you open the door (this was a concern because we had an 18 month old with us, so we just watched her closely). The house was supposed to sleep 14, but only had 9 towels, so we went to the dollar store and bought 6 towels. Also, for it to sleep 14, my husband and I had to sleep on the den sofa and it was pitiful. Dirty, and old and broken down. We went to WalMart and bought a memory foam topper for it. The carpeting in the upstairs was very dirty also, and the curtains on the downstairs sliding door were very dirty. I would recommend that new couch be bought and the carpeting jerked and laminate put down, and the curtains cleaned. Now, I must say that I didn't call the company and complain about these things while we were there. I guess I didn't figure that they would replace a couch, curtains and carpeting on short notice. When we did call them about the tv, they helped us.

Loved the location and views. Decks were large and in good shape. Bedrooms accommodated everyone. Had a problem with upstairs A/C and had a service man there within 20 minutes and fixed it. Would recommend this house for someone with 12-14 people in group.

We rented Lookin at the Beach to celebrate our wedding anniversary and to invite our 4 daughters and their families to visit anytime they could during the two week period. Loved being able to take about 50 steps and have my toes in the water.The location was perfect for our grandchildren to play on the beach within eye site of our deck. Even during the July 4th holiday weekend, the beach area in front of the house was not overrun with visitors. That evening, we didn't have to fight the traffic to take the kids to see fireworks...we watched them from the upper deck. We cooked a lot, and the kitchen was filled with ample utensils...the down stairs outdoor shower was great for the kiddos, and there were several beach toys and boogie boards for our use. The only inconvenience was the cable and internet went out, and our daughter was working on an on-line college course...there was a little store a short distance from the house which made it possible to get staples without dealing with traffic going to the larger grocery stores. The washer and dryer got a pretty good workout. Best food was at a little dive called GooRoos....the house was about a 30 minute drive to Ft. Morgan where we fished...and rode the ferry to Dauphine Island. Great shopping at the Tanger Outlets. Only complaint from anyone was the couches sat really low...but hey...you're at the beach!

All was good for us, but you should take inventory of the pots and pans---I don't do a lot of cooking but the equipment was not in very good shape.

Manager's Response

It was a great experience. We had enough places for people to sleep. I wish I could come back in the summer and actually go in the ocean. Only one downside was when we got to the place the back door was left wide open.
