Harris Vacations reviews in Gulf Shores, Alabama

“Overall, this place has so much potential! We loved the area, and felt like it did accommodate all of our needs space-wise. The overall cleanliness of the home left a lot to be desired. I truly believe it could benefit from a thorough deep clean. The couch was dirty and so were all of the area rugs. The carpeted stairs did not feel clean either. There were areas of what looked like mold in several of the bathrooms. The porch and stairs leading to the stairs could use a pressure washing as well. There were ants in the kitchen when we got there. The ants did get into some of our food. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. I have stayed in several beds from air bnbs, so I know what to expect. These were the most uncomfortable I’ve laid on from all the air bnbs I’ve stayed at. The oven did not work well. It took a lot longer to cook things. I do want to share some of the pros: the air worked very well, the fridge was big enough, and the washer and dryer worked well for us.”

“This location was so perfect for me to bring my daughters and their friends to hang out at the beach for the weekend. There was enough space for everyone, and the location just can't be beat, with a semi-private pool and right on the beach! There were a few things that were odd, like an exposed heating element in the oven covered with aluminum foil, and the way the bathroom vent blows right on you when you get out of the shower, and the bunk room looked like a converted closet but it didn't have a door! But overall, the location was perfect, and our crew had a wonderful time there. Walmart grocery delivery found the place with no problem, and the hosts even let us squeeze an extra vehicle in the driveway. I recommend this place, and I would return.”

“The house, location and view are amazing and beautiful however, be prepared. You will need to come with your own household basics. If you stay longer than a day or two (we stayed a week) you’ll need paper towels, napkins, toilet paper, Kleenex, laundry and dish/dishwasher soap, hand soap, shampoo, salt, pepper, coffee, filters, bottled water, etc. Be ready for a long list of rules with possible fine if you break any. It would have been nice if one of the two refrigerators in the kitchen had working a working ice maker. Loved the house, its layout, decor, comfortable furniture and beds, screened in porch is wonderful and the pool/outdoor area was great. Beach is beautiful, only a short walk away.”

“Unfortunately, the stay was not the best experience for my family. The bunk beds felt unsafe, and 3/4 kids ended up getting hurt on them. The furniture looked old (not the good old), there were unpleasant odors, the curtains had visible stains and carpets,and some pans were dirty. One family of 5 left because of they were not happy with the home. Also can opener outside was rusty and not usable. The property could definitely use better maintenance and more attention to upgrades. No beach accessories were provided it did state it. No baby items are available but did give advice where to get it. Did not get a kitchen starter kit I did have to go out to purchase my own. I told them they did apologize. Other than the bad the good was the View from the home was Amazing! Pool was pretty awesome. Beach was accessible! But I would not come back :(. I’m sorry for the bad review but my family was disappointed with the home and felt the pictures were not accurate to the real place”

“Overall the house was good. There was a lack of items that we normally find in AirBnBs that we book such as kitchen type items. Also we had to use the extra sheets to put over the couch due to pet hair. Location and access to the beach was great.”
