The house was stunning! Very clean, organized, and decorated beautifully! The house had everything you could ever need! The view of the beach was perfect and the heated pool was the perfect size for everyone to hang out in! The host made everything very easy for us and checked in with us multiple times to make sure everything was going good! One of the best vacation experiences I’ve ever had!

Family vacation

We had a blast! The views were breathtaking!! Easy access to the beach or just chill in the pool. The house was amazing, very clean, and had everything you needed. The kitchen was top notch but if you don’t feel like cooking restaurants are a short drive away. My family and I would highly recommend this property!!

Great Summer Vacation

Our family takes one week each summer to vacation at the beach. We have three adult children, their spouses, and 5 grandchildren. This house was excellent for all of us to have private spaces, a large living room and kitchen along with easy access to the beach! We could not have asked for a better arrangement. The pool was perfect for late evening play. We were close to restaurants but away from the crowds. We had a wonderful vacation!

Unbeatable location!

This house was perfect for our big family get together.. and you can beat the location right on the beach! The oven quit while we were staying there but they seemed to be ordering a new one and provided back up air fryers to use. Not a big deal for us and the property management team was quick to respond. Would definitely visit again!

Family spring break 2024!

Such a beautiful home, in a beautiful spot on the beach. We hadn't ever been to Gulf Shores, and enjoyed every minute. We had a few glitches with the house, but these issues were addressed quickly. We understand that parts and repairs take time in today's world, so while the oven not working was a pain, we made it work with the toaster ovens and air fryers that were quickly provided for us. It all worked out, and we had a wonderful time. (I would say to future renters to remember to bring beach towels and chairs. It does say they are not provided in the rental agreement, but we didn't notice until after we were there and had neither.) Overall, I would highly recommend this house for a large family, or friend group!! Beautiful and very clean!!

Amazing home in an absolutely perfect location

The entire home was beautiful! It had plenty of room and privacy for the 3 families that came on our thanksgiving vacation. Unfortunately, we have a family of bad backs, but the beds were amazing!!!! They were the perfect stiffness to not wake up with that awful feeling in your lower back! Also, we were all pleasantly surprised that when everyone decided to shower around the same time the water stayed hot through all showers! And the elevator! We got very spoiled by the elevator. It was so helpful to get the heavy luggage up to the 3rd and 4th floors! The only thing we would change, and it's extremely miniscule... the top floor bedroom on the left with the balcony, to change the tv you had to remove the battery from the remote and reinstall....every channel lol! Not a big deal at all, but worth looking into. We have already made up our minds that this will be our family's Thanksgiving rental from now on! We loved it!

Wonderful!

The house was as described and pictured but even better than expected! This was a trip with 3 families and it was perfect for all of us to have ample room to gather but also have our own spaces. The amenities were great and all the small touches and attention to detail were much appreciated putting this property at the top of our list.

Perfect getaway!

This was one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed at. Steps to the beach & super easy to store & clean our beach gear. Great amount of parking for our large family. Plenty of bedrooms & king size beds. Gorgeous decor. Immaculately clean. The convenience of an elevator, extra fridge & grocery cart. Our very own beachside salt water pool. Just beautiful! We greatly enjoyed our time & meeting up with family at Millie’s Sandcastle!

Off the Charts!

One of the best rental properties we have ever stayed at. Had a family of four generations...youngest being one year old, the oldest 87 years old. Each bedroom with a king size bed and TV and washer/dryer on the floors with bedrooms made living arrangements easy to manage. Pool on the back deck was perfect for the little people and provided peace of mind for the adults trying to keep track of them. Property was much better than the pictures portrayed. Management team was incredibly responsive and worked overtime to meet some of our concerns.

Perfect Large/Multi Family Vacation Spot!

This was our first family vacation with all of our adult children, their spouses and children. We wanted a large gathering space as well as individual private spaces for each little family unit that was only a few steps to get in the water and we found the perfect spot at Millie's Sand Castle! Every detail was perfectly thought out at this home. Spacious Luxury that was also kid friendly. Our family loved every detail and amenity. The pool was nice and clean. The views were gorgeous. It was mere minutes to drive to stores or restaurants. Though we hated to leave the home when it has such a fantastic kitchen! We have only great things to say about it. We highly recommend Millie's Sand Castle and Harris Property Management for your next vacation!
