Kim, Chicago Suburbs

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
We stayed in this house for a kid-free getaway, with 10 adults occupying the house. It was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beach daily. As we stayed in the house during June/July 2020, it was nice to be in a less crowded area of Gulf Shores, which still allowed for good social distancing. If you're looking for a spacious and nice location for relaxing and enjoying the beach, this fits the bill!

We stayed at Princes of Tides immediately after Hurricane Michael. There was no damage here. Beautiful beach. Great size for large groups.
