We loved our stay! The house was as described and was fully stocked with all the necessity to make our stay comfortable and homey. GREAT spot!

House was in a wonderful location, we’ve stayed at another house on the same road before that was unfortunately not available for us again this trip. It’s beautiful views and far from any crowds. This property needs maintenance however, lots of issues with loose doorknobs, broken cupboards and banister railings. The couches and chairs looked dirty. There were no kitchen towels available and no extra garbage bags. The upstairs pillows were missing pillowcases in one bedroom and the blankets were sparse if you could call them blankets. Upstairs mattresses were very hard and the bed was so squeaky we could barely sleep. The floors felt uneven and doors didn’t shut completely upstairs. Overall our experience with the house was fair but not excellent, especially for the price being comparable to other properties nearby that are far better. Gulf Shores is amazing and we will be back, but probably would pass on this property next time.

The Courthouse is one of the best vacation homes that I have ever used. The local team was very responsive to all inquiries. I was kept informed during the entire process. I would definitely rent this facility again, highly recommend it for those seeking a high-quality vacation stay.

Our second stay at the Courthouse. Just a fantastic home and of course a perfect location on the Beach. Hope to go back and stay at the Courthouse again. Thanks from our entire family.
